I've discovered that if I'm around too many White people now, I get nervous.
I become acutely aware of what is going on around me.
This has been true since trump became pres in the 2016 election with so many millions voting for ĥim, and his nazi leanings and bad treatment of people just generally.
GET OUT expressed that feeling that so many, if not all, Black people have when faced with racist stares, comments and assaults. And like you said, it was made by a Black man who is not only very funny, but dead on in his direction. It is a classic
rendering of racist horror.
Thank you for this, as always, well written piece.
It really is incriminatingly accurate. You *know* for a fact that Peele has been in enough of those situations himself to depict it with that uncanny realism. It's almost hard to watch as a white person sometimes because I know so many of those types!
Definitely one worth watching, whether a horror fan or not! It's certainly not one of the more gruesome ones, and the social commentary is pretty unparalleled.

Thanks for reading, Linda!
Great piece today. I haven't seen the movie, as I am not a horror fan at all but I do love Jordan Peele. I will put this on my watch list
