Another rich and privileged black person pretending to be some sort of social pariah who's oppressed because of their skin color even though it's given her everything she has.
I do so wish that they -- for once -- would elucidate where exactly all these supremacists are hiding that they keep referring to being all over the place. But let's be crystal clear here, what they're talking about aren't actually "white supremacists," but rather anyone who disagrees with their agenda.
This becomes a bit more obvious when you see the path she chooses to actually defend her brother -- famous hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollet:
“To love someone as much as we love my brother, and to watch someone who you love that much go through something like this, that is so public, has been devastating.”
Bitch, go through what, exactly? What did your brother go through?
Are you talking about the backlash he faced for faking a hate crime for financial profit at the expense of an entire race of people, as well as an entire political group? Is that what's so devastating? Or was it his denial after the fact? Was that what was devastating?
Wait, I know -- it was that he got caught. That's the only thing you guys find devastating.
Forget the hundreds of thousands it cost taxpayers that could have been spent helping the less fortunate, your brother was the real victim of his own malicious hoax.
You know when I see a family group has all managed to make it into showbiz, I assume they are extremely privileged.
The chance of any random person getting in it obscenely rare. For a group related to each other? That's someone with powerful connections and unlikely to ever have missed a meal in their life.
But you know, people said mean words about them so they are the most oppressed.
I saw a static (non-video) ad for this earlier and just automatically assumed that because it's Lovecraft and he was such a bigot (ignoring all context, of course) they would be going all in with virtue signalling. And then I started to think that maybe I was assuming too much.
By confirming such expectations, these people are creating prejudice, not dismantling it.
I find it funny that many people seem to hate Lovecraft for his views (Forgetting that he has been dead for like 90+ years and he was not... all there mentally) yet have no issue profiting out of his works, and they're apparently not racists for reading them when they're often the same people who think you'll become a racist if you share a meal with your Trump-supporting uncle or watch "Gone With The Wind".
They take a perverted satisfaction in using things like this in their sjw propaganda because they get off on the idea of making their original creator disgusted. It's why they like things like the removal of races in dnd and shit, they get a perceived "Win".
I'll bet you ANYTHING and say they're going to try to use the Shoggoths rebellion against the Elder things as some ham-fisted analogy for racism or some shit.
I don’t know, I was talking with a teacher of mine when I was in high school. He talked to me about a conversation with some black guys who were a grade below me who I generally liked. Apparently, they felt in order to succeed all white people had to go away. This came from solidly middle class kids who were at catholic high school.

if they had the chance, they would see you shot while they rape your wife or girlfriend, laughing the whole time.
That's a stark fucking difference.
Your idiot friends (unsurprisingly coming from a middle class and catholic background, both of which are steeped in social justice doctrine or protection rackets) are racists.
What Ragnar is describing is a sociopathic mass murderer.
I've long said that a lot of these SJWs would like nothing better than to become a Death Camp volunteer. However, at no point was I deluded into thinking that an entire race of people, which is what Ragnar is actually insinuating here, or that even the majority of SJWs are Death Camp volunteers. The vast and sweeping majority are useful idiots who enable the sociopaths.
Gave the first episode a shot, I mean, a big budget tv show featuring the Lovecraft Mythos, even with the "set in the Jim Crowe era South" hook it could still be decent, as long as they aren't too heavy-handed.
Well, more fool me, of course it's as heavy handed as possible. Every reference to or appearance by white people is purely to highlight how unbelievably racist they are, while the black community is depicted as happy, close knit bunch of decent folk who simply spend their time dancing and singing in the streets.
It's just disappointing that once again the rabid politics of its creators have ruined a potentially good show. With a light touch they could have actually delivered both a commentary on the era and an intelligent, entertaining show (though I know it will still appeal to some) rather than something verging on pantomime.
Oh unlike all the other billion series that "reflect america's current quest to bring down white supremacy" like Watchmen, "Twilight Zone", Batwoman and others.

They're only ever sorry that they got caught. No self reflection, no personal responsibility, everything is someone else's fault etc.
It's the core of leftist ideologies.
Jewcy did exactly as he was told. He such a good boy, they gave his sister a job

The sheer disgust Lovecraft would feel if he knew about this.

Don't you think everything bad happening in 2020 is the elder beings punishing us for shit like this?
She should go to Somalia and try to survive there before she knows what Hardship is.
How many Smolletts who want white genocide are there?!
When I make this kind of argument about women, everyone loses their fucking minds.
But it's okay to generalize all black people off women's lesbian race war cult?
You're the one who assumed they're all black.
Because Smollett is black himself?
He has other identities. He's also a liberal, a minority, and Jewish.
Hundreds, but okay.

Idiots. I swear it’s become trendy to whine about how oppressed you are. Too bad real oppressed people in the world don’t get this much attention
That's one of the worst aspects of this, I agree. When everybody's shouting wolf, we won't find the people who are actually being eaten.
That's why you see wolves shouting wolf.
"Come fellow sheep! This one is a wolf! Let's tear his throat out and drink is succulent blood!"

It would actually be very interesting to set a Lovecraftian nightmare in the Jim Crow south, filled with tension, dark swamps, and literal VooDoo.
Too bad they have to go and shit it all up.
Nah, the book it is based on has no real Lovecraft in it either, just the same race baiting bs.
Good to know, I was tempted to check it out to see if they'd just fucked up the adaptation but if so its not worth the effort.
The reviews for this on IMDB are very suspicious, most of them looked like shills.
"The Cthulhu from Call of Cthulhu and Shoggoth from At the Mountains of Madness make appearances."
As a huge HPL fan, this sentence makes my head hurt.
Hard pass

Western entertainment is fucking dead.
