Basically the producers of game of thrones are planning an alternate reality show on hbo based on the south winning the civil war....

There is a protest on social media....

    They haven't made the series yet....

    The protest is for HBO to stop development....

    The clip is from the movie c.s.a....

    It is real...

    And a black guy made it....

    I'd love to see a role reversal series along similar lines.



    But only with black people as slave owners and white people as slaves.

    That clip in OP has nothing to do with it. Game of Thrones creators said Confederate is their next show, current America where the confederacy won and slavery exists. #Noconfederate is part of the backlash to the idea. They haven't written it yet just announced that's what they wanna do on HBO

    It's a TV show, who cares. I'm wondering how they change World history though. Like the World Wars, Cold War, technology and so on.

    Grey Worm, Missandei, Xharo Xhoan Daxos... there's not a lot but then again we've never seen the Summer Isles or Sothos.

    Slaves

    I wonder what they will have in common with the people in this new series.

    Birth of a nation was just a movie....

    I'm just really hearing about this.....

    I don't watch a lot of t.v. but do watch HBO, boxing, vice, and most of their series are good....

    But, I just don't like them giving these cacs any ideas, or a platform for white nationalists....

    Outrage over this is ? stupid. Alternate history is a very popular genre in science fiction. Man in the High Castle is on right now and it's GOAT....I don't see any Jews losing their ? over this.

    It's not like they're gonna depict the Confederates as heroes. I guarantee you 110% it'll be a dystopia where the enslaved blacks are the protagonists. If anything this show will make rednecks and Confederate supporters mad as hell because it will show the terrible nation that would be born if they had won.

    I swear these SJWs today just look for ? to get pissy about at a molecular level. Spoiled first world liberals. Don't know what hardship really is so they gotta manufacture fake ass causes.

    The Jews situation is different from the US black situation. What happened to the Jews did not effect all of them. What happened during slavery still effects every black person in this country. You made a bad comparison.

    The confidence in Hollywood story telling is too high in here. I'm all for Freedom Of Speech, so I won't say what they can't make. But ? defending anything else of this.

    Yeah but they're not trying to market that show in Israel. I addressed that on another site....

    I've gotten big into reading Alternate History the past couple years so I'm gonna copy and paste what I posted on AlternateHistory.com:

    "I feel deeply uneasy about this. I love Alternate History (obviously), but I am really really not looking forward to a show that is - in part - gonna be very much about watching black people get whipped and beaten and ? and killed by Slave Masters. Especially considering that D & D.B love "SHOCK VALUE™" and have all the subtlety of a fluorescent green sledgehammer. This is a tightrope walk that can turn into a flaming shitwreck 100 different ways.

    Its the difference between The Man in the High Castle and a Nazis Win TV series that spends half of its time in Poland. Do you think Jews or Poles would be eager to see the latter in gory HD detail? Yeah.

    Also not looking forward to a bunch of fictional characters that WILL become heroes to racist white supremacist dirtbags everywhere. From /pol/ memes to user names in comment sections.....ugh. Couldn't they just do WW3 instead?"

    the last point is what really does it for me......racist cacs watching the same way Italians watch The Sopranos or Blacks watch The Wire, they gonna have a bunch of favorite racist slaveowners that have memorable quotes and badass moments and ? ......no matter how they try to spin it, these slick ? gonna create White Supremacist heroes & role models

    Spike Lee helped distribute that film. Its a Mockumentary. At one point they show a commercial for a alternate version of COPS that chase Runaway Slaves.
