The American Society of Magical NEGROES Trailer Reaction

Well I feel uncomfortable when anyone gets angry not just white and black people because anyone can be dangerous but I'm sorry you felt that way when you were younger I'm white but I've never been around dangerous black people because I grew up in a small town and only had a few black friends but when I moved to the city I made more friends that happen to be black but I never thought of them as an African American we just didn't see color because we were not racist towards each other I guess and my cousin happens to be half Mexican and half African-American so I guess we never called each other white or black we just knew each other by name but it's not the color of your skin that counts it's the soul that counts God bless you brother

[@gamecitysavior2910]

You never heard tom cruise characters mention himself being white... it's just all action. I'm tired of this shirt.

[@Elifesound]

That's because the plight of black people is very different than white people. He's probably never had to talk about being white or think about it because of his privilege that he probably never knew he had.

[@K2daMFG]

Thats because as every scholar knows, white is the default position in American culture (especially among the largest demographic). If you're tired of the shirt then take it off! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Elifesound]

Justice Smith is mixed. As a mixed black person myself, I agree with you that they should have casted a black person who doesn't have a white parent. So many mixed black people are more palatable and "safe" to white people because of our proximity to whiteness. Justice Smith comes across as very safe to white people. Plus his character is risking it all for a white-ish/non-black girl. Not feelin the trailer at all.

[@fatherhood7608]

Interesting how they released the trailer in December and the movie is not being released until March 22. Looks like the marketing team is trying to test the waters in the the black community to see what kind of reaction its going to get. Bet the interns are all over these comments! With the kind of backlash it's getting, wouldn't be surprised if they push the release to fall or just drop it on HBOMAX. Could've been a real cool take on race stuff, but it needed someone like Spike Lee to nail it. Right now, it's just... kind of cringe and corny as hell. Justice Smith has no personality and he looks like he is phoning in his performance. And maybe going with a darker-skinned lead would've made their point hit harder, kind of like what 'Get Out' did. They really missed a chance here.

[@blessed3779]

The fact that they chose a bi-racial or racially ambiguous person is on theme with the movie-how black people have to make yt people feel comfortable in order to navigate in life….. point being yt people are “more comfortable” around lighter skin BP. Something about the dark melanation in dark skin BP that puts WP on edge or triggers their yt rage frfr. When WP see darker complexion BP they either become intrigued like BP are wild animals and want to touch hair and make awkward compliments about the persons dark-skin; or WP immediately become agitated and enraged believing that the darkskin BP does not belong in their space amongst WP; or they just get extremely passive aggressive and show disrespectful signs of micro aggressions to attempt to make the dark skin BP feel uncomfortable enough to leave or remove themselves from around black spaces.

I was waiting for you to review this trailer. Idk how to feel about it. Can it pull a “500 hundred days”, that ending was unexpected. Like I thought it was blk ppl with magic (Harry Potter), but their magic is to make yt ppl happy?? Then he wants this non blk woman?? I mean I hope the needing to follow his own path is makin them get over that slavery mind set, and for him to find a blk woman or something like that. If it’s him breakin their tradition just to be with this chic I’m good on it. I need it to not just wake them up but to wake him up also. It really could be an amazing film or just be a dud. Not rushing to see it though.

I think this movie is a total insult to black people. I am sorry but satire or not there is no reason why a movie with the title "The American Society of Magical Negroes" is being made. The actor playing the lead role is mixed. We go from "Get Out" to this. It's pathetic. It's not funny or humorous. There have been to0 may black people who died to be making fun of racial injustice.

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

90% of black people killed are killed by other blacks. And blacks kill more of every single other race than vice versa.

It's pretty ironic that black people created something that they didn't think is actually racist towards both black people and white.

[@galaxylucia1898]

The fact “some” ppl are 😭 over this movie and freaking out over that one line in the trailer speaks volumes and almost… proves the point of the movie. Almost. I agree with you. I don’t think as black ppl we have to bow-down to anyone by being socially palatable. Respect and acceptance has to go both ways of we’re going to live in a civilized society. This movie is definitely ruffling a lot of feathers… and at my age I’m not surprised why.

[@reikofujiko991]

I only heard about this movie earlier today, thanks to KZbin commercials. While I wasn't watching it from the beginning, I did see most of it and that title. I later on looked for the trailer and of course ran into the many many negative reviews of a movie no one has yet seen. Trailers if any good are designed to make you think about them, but they don't always give you the straight story. This movie seems to me to be planting " this is how it's going to go", as far as what was shown. But I think the story might turn at some point along the way. It could turn out to be crap, but you don't know that for sure until you've seen it. Lastly, out of all the reviews I've seen for this movie so far, your's is the only one with an open mind. Thank you for that.😊

Kobi Labii is also a mixed race man who graduated from Yale. He could be Jewish. So, I think he should have made a "Magical Jewish" movie.

[@aryellhenry7593]

The only thing exciting about this trailer to me is David Grier and whatever comedy is available, David is hugely underrated actor and comedian who was everywhere in the 90s just like Tommy Davidson. They both are hilarious and have been underappreciated. I do wished they could've casted an underground actor or another known actor who has a darker complexion. They could've casted 1.Tyler James Williams, 2.Keith Powers, 3. Shameik Moore, 4. Caleb McLaughlin, 5.Trevor Jackson so many others. Just like Zendaya, Amandla Steinberg, Yara Shahidi, and Storm Reid always gets booked for every "black girl role" in a hollywood movie, and no shade to those ladies because they are talented and beautiful ,but we need to see more Dominique Fishbacks, Coco Jones, Lovie Simone Oppong, Quinta Brunsons etc. The plot is funny, yet risky and deep. We have to go above and beyond to cater to the egos and fragility of white people and appease their needs for everyone to be at least remotely comfortable. Sounds exhausting, but also sounds like black, magical fairy-godparents lol. And the love interest just had to be a plain white girl huh? Not saying you can't fall in love with someone or be attracted to someone outside of your own race or ethnicity, but still. And the white guy immediately thinks oh, you're trying to set me up with her, because you can't or shouldn't be into her, thanks bro.
