Man they always trying to tell us we slaves and shit damn

JUDEN!!

Just give them the Emmy already

HBOs answer to Man in the high castle I suppose

So HBO is going to have 2 shows that focus on racism in the south going on at the same time?

Referring to that Jordan Peele Lovecraft show they're supposed to be doing.

>“Confederate” chronicles the events leading to the Third American Civil War. The series takes place in an alternate timeline, where the southern states have successfully seceded from the Union, giving rise to a nation in which slavery remains legal and has evolved into a modern institution. The story follows a broad swath of characters on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Demilitarized Zone – freedom fighters, slave hunters, politicians, abolitionists, journalists, the executives of a slave-holding conglomerate and the families of people in their thrall.

so there's just going to be some giant business that uses slave labor? like Nike?

Wonder if this will shut John Boyega up or just make him angrier?

based D&D making sure white "people" are brought to justice one show at a time

Black people are always angry and will always find something to wrong. They're impossible to please.

Glad they're coming out with an outright failure so soon after dismantling GoT so they can be forgotten about

No, obviously the slaves will be doing Kang labor because of how superior they are at it.

I already saw C.S.A.

>(((creators))) new HBO series targets "racist"
Try not being such a triggered little bitch about it

Confederate States of America already beat you to it 13 years ago.

youtu.be/QQI9HGV9uhw
Also the civil war was about whether slavery should be expanded or not, not about banning it. The North were not some righteous group of people trying to free slaves. Only Lincoln's masterful politicing made them seem as such to history.

Boyega's recent comments was forced on him. How is Sup Forums so retarded? A few months ago, Samuel L Jackson had a go about not enough blacks or some shit and Boyega went 'lol who the fuck cares?' I think it was Jackson going 'why are black brits getting american black roles?'. And Boyega said it didn't fucking matter end of the day.

Now he suddenly comes out with this comment out of the blue. Almost like he was (((told))) to have a problem.

Hello Dabid

I'm so sick of this Confederates bashing and my family was Union.

Sounds stupid/boring tbqh.

Man In The High Castle had a twist. This just sounds kinda goofy - why not just do a straight civil war series?

That new movie about Texas invading NYC seems like a better use of the idea.

Or just a Civil War 2.0 set in our current timeline.

Or, given their success with series adaptations, why not Turtledove's Worldwar Series?

>"racist" south
why did you put racist in quotation marks, slavery was racist
Its not like if it was racist or not was up to one's opinion or something

I mean - at least they aren't offshoring?

There are interesting premises to be mined here, like hipster northerners who take selfies at anti-slavery protests with iphones made in the south, or sex tourists heading down for some cheap black pussy.

But they probably won't touch on that.

>Slavery was racist

Not really.

>it's a Yankees have to humiliate the South again and again episode

How come people let Japanese and Germans off the hook earlier than the South

I loved his World War series but it was a little to weird for most people. I finished them about six months ago and just finished the Southern Victory series, that would be better for a more relatable story.

Canadian here, I hope white """people""" go extinct desu, I will be watching this series after I finish bingewatching GoT

>That new movie about Texas invading NYC seems like a better use of the idea.
what movie?

It was dumbass

If the show doesn't have scenes with white women fucking black guys, I don't fucking care. You hear me BENIOFF? I DON'T FUCKING CARE. I know you're reading this, you better write some of that scenes in the show, or else nobody will watch that shit.

>10 trillion stories about black slavery
>Chinese slaves in the western expansion never mentioned

So political porn for leftists and niggos?

Chinese people oppress black (African-American) peoples to this day

That would be cool

racism was invented by (((trotsky))) in the early 1900s, in didn't exist during the civil war, idiot.

Not really. Blacks were just the weakest in the food chain. Native Americans didn't enslave blacks because of prejudice, but just because they could.

Some of the justifications used to retain it were racist.

Twitter reaction to this seems negative. Some type of "we were more than just slaves" stuff

Sounds like a great concept tbqh

Bushwick

youtube.com/watch?v=yv_z5nyggJs

Remember goys the white man is evil and must feel guilty at all times

It sounds like a rip off of Turtledove's civilwar series. Which is separate from his book "guns of the south".

in his books. the south wins their freedom from the union. Lee frees the slaves after becoming president of the CSA. though it is an aprartheid nation. the CSA invades mexico and cuba. then the USA and CSA fight each other again during ww1. the usa sides with the germans and the csa sides with the british and french. the usa and germans win. the usa takes some land from the CSA and occupies Canada. a very ancient general custard is the military governor of occupied canada. the canadians engage the usa in a terrorist insurgency. then after the humiliation of losing to the USA and the Depression. the CSA gets their Hitler analog. they have another war with the usa for ww2.

If you were a slave to a nigger king would it be racist

It's called Bushwick. Looks like a bit of a Purge rip off, but might be fun. Wish the bad guys had Pepe t's on tho.

The Confederates were 5% true kikes and 95% literally retarded whites who hated having jobs and loved being poor and wanted blacks to take all of the jobs for free. The CSA was so retarded they also banned tariffs from ever being raised and codified it in their constitution. Can you imagine how awful a nation without tariffs would fare against fucking modern China?

Hey lizard, want to buy some Ginger?

East of West when?

I dunno mang...I think the inherit weirdness would make it more appealing, as long as they didn't succumb to being campy or surreal.

Confederates did nothing wrong.

I can't imagine people will watch this

...

Cheers, lads.

There's plenty to bash Confeds for, but it's always ALWAYS about race in every single medium. What you mention is something that should be brought up when you want to shit on the Confederacy. Their economy was absolute shit.

>characters on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Demilitarized Zone – freedom fighters, slave hunters
Yankees are desperate. Losing Iraq and Syria and the whole Middle East they have to imagine a place and a period when to situate themselves as freedom fighters again.

Not even cause of race drama desu...just sounds boring.

the war was about the elite 7% that owned slaves and ran southern society. the immigration and industrial development of the northern states, along with declining sales to Europe due to india and egypt; was eroding their slave inflated power.

the racism aspect was used by the elites to pin the lower white classes against the blacks. because slaves and free blacks kept the working poor whites from the bottom of the social order.

>In 1860 Fitzhugh stated that "It is a libel on white men to say they are unfit for slavery" and suggested that if Yankees were caught young they could be trained, domesticated and civilized to make "faithful and valuable servants".[6] Writing in the Richmond Inquirer on 15 December 1855, Fitzhugh proclaimed: "The principle of slavery is in itself right, and does not depend on difference of complexion", "Nature has made the weak in mind or body slaves ... The wise and virtuous, the strong in body and mind, are born to command", and "The Declaration of Independence is exuberantly false, and aborescently fallacious.".[7]

BTFO

...

Round of applauds for these brave men to step up in the year of 2017 to remind us all that racism is bad and not good.

Can't wait to watch this bravekino

Me personally, have never publicly shared this sentiment out of fear of being judged by my peers. But these few bold men that dare speak up and tell us and show us racism is bad bad not good. Thumbs up.

Sorry we don't keep up with everything John Boyega says.

Also, it sounds like he meant 'who cares if they're British blacks, as long as they're black'

do they really think that Slavery would have gone on into the 21st century even if the South won? Slavery wasn't the primary issue over which the civil war was fought, many confederates agreed that slavery was morally wrong, and they only continued it as it was the most economically viable option at the time. With the automation of the mid 20th and 21st century there's no way they'd keep slaves.
Also you never hear about the northern border states that kept slaves, even after the emancipation proclamation.

I'm getting really fucking tired of this magic school bus level understanding of history the media pushes.

Chinese labor worked for pennies, undermining white unions. They did this in California and were kicked out. They weren't slaves. Slaves remained slaves even though they were free, BLM

Plenty of blacks fought for the confederacy. It was not whites versus blacks.

Yeah but white people weren't slaves were they? Despite any hypothetical scenarios

I hate that I'm third generation Italian and my grandfather was basically treated like a nigger when my family got here but black people stare at me in public and resent me for some reason. Whatever lol at least I'm not black

howdy pardners, I got a question for y'all: why didn't I hear this song anywhere in the trailer youtube.com/watch?v=g1vu11BA7Bc

It's funny because 70% of jews owned slaves out of the 1-2% of the American population that were slave owners

They ran the slave trade as well.

Chinese people don't speak English then or now so they have no materials to be adapted and no interest to watch English speaking media

Left won't watch cause they think it's for the right, right won't watch cause they think it's for the left

HAHAHAHA

Rekt

Brazil ended slavery in 1888.

Slavery in America was failing against, because economics. The slave owning cash crop growing plantations were losing market share to African and South Asian colonies. Which caused food farmers and others in the CSA states to lose money.

The CSA would have had to ditch slavery and revamp their economy. Especially if the Europeans and American nations used embargos, tariffs, or sanctions against the CSA until they abolished slavery. Which many would have likely done.

>most slave owners were jews
Interesting how this is always forgotten

ayyy pass the gabagool ya fucking moran

Because it is intentionally ignored.

slaves sent by their masters. so the masters or their sons didnt' have to fight. all on the promise of being freed once their tour was over.

Meanwhile China buys out every African resource for a fraction of its worth.

Some were. Being considered legally white didn't stop anybody from being a slave.

Cuz we're so based.

In the U.S.?

Yes. Native Americans kept white slaves.

delete this right now

I think that new Jay-Z song had a line about Jews, think Ice Cube also had something in the 90s explicitly about the slave trade

No, free blacks fought for the confederacy. It was their home.

>try to make this "racist world" look awful
>it turns out like the Man In The High Castle and is better on the level than our current world
When will they learn

>north: hey south, look at all this machinery we have up here!
>south: whoa north, that's pretty cool!
>north: yeah it is, we don't even need niggers anymore!
>south: seriously??
>north: seriously! now free your niggers and become reliant on us, or we will invade you.
>south: wha-
>north: dumb fucking inbred southerners

lmao everyone hates this

and the slave ships running slaves from africa to the new world, were mostly owned by dutch jews. since most of christian europe and the USA had put an end to the slave trade. while the usa still had slavery. they sent warships to africa to try and stop slave ships.

Yeah and this too, whenever I tell people I'm Italian other italians go 'OH PAESAN!' like jesus christ not every italian is sicilian just because you watched the sopranos doesn't mean your a mobster

Pretty much every tv show these days...

this desu

and black people are the ones who crusaded and raped Italy. So everything is all backwards

There's still white people?

Don't you mean you're 1 quarter Italian and then a bunch of other shit you burgerboy?

Brazil doesn't even talk about slavery anymore.

>dat family history show where Don Cheadle is shocked to learn that his ancestors were NOT freed after the Civil War...then finds out it was because they weren't owned by whites, and the POC didn't want to give up their slaves over white people shit

He seemed more angry that he couldn't be mad at whitey than he was about them being slaves.

There's no way they're gonna sell merch that says confederate on it hahaha

biggest flub of the century

It's also interesting how organized crime movies are about the Italian Mafia despite the Jewish mob being far more widespread, profitable, and violent. I'm sure it's just a cohencidence.

>i didn't pay attention in history class: The post

what show?

>1:37
haven't laughed this hard in a while

Whoa, really gets my cranium cranking.

wat

Because your grandpapi worked his way to respectability, like my father who came from Italy did. They didn't cry for gibs like niggers do

Smells like butthurt ITT
