Black people have always been part of horror. They just have mostly not been the ones making money off of it.

Oof, odd way of saying the minority of blacks profited off enslaving other black people.

Peele has said “Nope” was inspired by movies like “King Kong” and “Jurassic Park;” films that “really deal with the human addiction to spectacle.” “King Kong” isn’t just about spectacle, though; it’s about racist spectacle.

I know, imagine being so racist that you openly say you will only direct people of the same skin color as you!

Kong, the giant ape taken from a remote land in chains, is an obvious metaphor for enslaved African people. His horribleness is a deflection so that (white) viewers don’t have to think about the horrors they’ve committed. Black people, monstrous spectacle and vicious repression are at the center of one of the seminal Hollywood horror films.

Is the writer un ironically taking the roots belief of slavery? Are they also un ironically saying black people are savages? The black self obsessed identity is truly a monster of a mental illness.

The incident doesn’t end well for the chimpanzee, as you might imagine. Jupe is traumatized, too. But as an adult owner of a carnival, he also manages to turn the event and his own fear into a lucrative tourist side-business. Fear of the bestial — often conflated with fear of Black people — is monetizable and exploitable.

Yeah who profited off gangsta rap? Who profited off a 40% black abortion rate?

Some of these new Black horror projects have come directly from Peele himself. As a director he released “Us” in 2019; he also produced Nia DaCosta’s 2021 remake of “Candyman” and Misha Green’s 2020 television show “Lovecraft Country.”

Things that all sucked? Racis scary oh lawd. You know what real Black horror is? Black literacy rates.

Most of these films, television shows and books explore Due’s insight that “Black history is Black horror.” They view a legacy of white terrorism and white violence from the perspective of the Black people who have been terrorized and had violence visited upon them.

So black people are so pathetic their entire existence was horror? Really good message to send there.

Well, if you read The Planet of the Apes - the book - you'll see it's not about niggers at all, and never was. The niggers MADE it about themselves. But oh, a story could NEVER be about the non-humans in the story - even when it's blatantly not a metaphor, it's always gotta be about insert whiny monkeypig strain here Next up, they'll be appropriating Black Beauty, if they haven't already done so.

I'm not sure he realizes that King Kong was not created by white people

Yes but common sense and perceived racism rarely meet.
