She just talking in buying shit like a normal human in a 50s fully white city, really nigga?Didn't hear one N word in this show.
its called safe racismcant depict actual racism because you'll offend white people before you offend blacks
>>216011983You're not familiar with the bait-and-switch tactics they use to get you to watch their slop and then once you're invested, fire hose you with their alt history ideology?
nigga you didn't even watch the show. it's set in 60s.
>>216011983You are aware tv series are fictional right?
>>216012109So the settings are not based on Earth but a different planet? For a different fictional world they sure like to mention events that happened in real life.
>>216011983any show that takes place in the past>Racism was so rampant!>Every other person is a minority walking around freely holding jobs at all levels.
>>216012339Yeah, but they arrested a black movie theater owner when a bunch of kids died in his movie theater.
>racism was the real monsterBRAVO KANG
>>216011983As the cop said in the last episode "this is Maine, not Mississippi." The north had racism, but it was not 'call you a nigger in public and burn a cross in your yard' shit. It was WASPy passive-aggressive stuff like not being invited to community events or to join the local masonic lodge and being passed over for promotions and whatnot.
Night Country was HBO Max too wasn't it? Same slop, different coat.
>>216011983I remember reading his novel about preventing Kennedy murder and it is literally "everything was so much better: the people, the food, the prices, grass greener but wait there was this awful racism and homophobia how terrible" the novel.I read It as a kid/teen and I don't really remember anything from it except from the scene where all the kids take turns on Beverly. Does it have the same political flavour?
>>216012575riveting. glad we need yet another show to bitch about that.
>>216012694The racism is less than 5% of the entire book while it is 90% of this show.
>>216012575LOL. Those places had far more severe segregation than the South. They'd even build entire industrial complexes in the land between the white and black parts of town to minimize any kind of spill over. In places where that wasn't possible, roads often dead ended and after a gap, restarted just so blacks couldn't easily get into the white parts of town except through a small number of monitored choke points. The main difference was in the ratio. Blacks in northern communities (with a few urban exceptions like Detroit after the Northern Migration) were vastly outnumbered so they made less noise about inequalities. In the South, due to their larger numbers, they had more disgruntled members of the community who were sure they could go get what whites had. They found allies in whites from the north who after seeing the impact of the Northern Migration, wanted to ensure blacks stayed in the South.
