A new sci-fi drama ‘Cracka‘ flips the script on white supremacists, throwing one such man back in fictional time where he’s enslaved to a Black master. But the producers say it’s not just a rage show with Black people as despicable racists. Can provocative art constructively advance the conversation about racial justice?
Dale Resteghini’s ‘Cracka‘ is slated to appear on Amazon Prime, iTunes and Google Play in Fall 2020. The official trailer contains coarse language, brutal violence and racial epithets. Viewer discretion advised.

Agitprop is alive and well for sure. In its Sunday edition the Washington Post included a cartoon of Trump Supporters depicted as rats. In honor of their lack of creativity and/or sheer laziness it is almost exactly like an anti-Semitic Nazi cartoon picturing the Jews as rats.

Thank you Bill. Spot-on! Especially like the reference to Planet of the Apes, and how it was a parable for the problem which we “Boomers” did, in fact, conquer and put away as done and over with – but we have a whole new generation thinking that they have a mission to “fix” us. To put it succinctly, BS!
The plot concept is not new and can be a great vehicle for discussing our common strengths and weaknesses. Placing a member of an ‘elite’ group in a situation where he must cope with the living conditions of those he considers inferior and watching him struggle to succeed is a classic storytelling device. “The Prince and the Pauper” is a good example, with both sides finding out how difficult the other has it and gaining perspective on the common values of people. I suspect this show was meant for one thing only, to show how evil white people are, and how virtuous the producers are to point that out. There’s no room for discussion that could lead to change, just vindictive finger-pointing and shaming. This is bigotry of the highest, or lowest, form. It doesn’t allow for any kind of redemption, and is a denial that the target of your scorn could ever amount to anything good or improve from what you believe is inferior behavior. The beliefs on the Left, which ‘Cracka’ represents, are based on ignorance and projection and it is nearly impossible to have a reasoned debate with anyone who holds those beliefs.
Bill said, “I think this is grievance/revenge/victimization porn,” and “But there’s a better word for it I realized as you were talking. And the word really for what this is, is agitprop. … It’s a weapon used by the Soviets to get people inflamed and to undermine societies, specifically this one, by basically presenting images or stories or rumors or whatever the case may be that were so inflammatory that it would create a real sense of grievances against one group against the other, but it was manufactured.”
Exactly! This isn’t entertainment, it’s infotainment. The mood in America being projected by the propaganda media is dark and delusional people in a dark mood will easily buy the idea that equality isn’t enough; this is a dog whistle for complete and total role reversal.
The poo is hitting the fan. I get it. Next couple of months are not going to be pretty. I’ll do what I can to hold the line, and I’m going to volunteer to work at the county registrar of voters office during this upcoming election. No one will know my political views and they don’t deserve to. I want to be in the room to see the handling the ballots, to be an observer at the very least.
As for stupid movies, I cut netflix, and even Comcast as an entertainment provider. I have high speed internet and use Roku. I barely if ever watch any of the cable news. A little Tucker Carlson every once and a while. The lack of bombardment of bad news has made me a more relaxed person. All cable news is guilty of it, on air arguments/screaming matches. Networks are worse, they just tell you what they want you to know and ignore reality.
I wouldn’t gain anything from Craka and no one I know would either. I won’t dignify the creators by watching the trailer.
Rant time. Sorry to the gentle folks. Attention progressives! I get it!!!! Slavery is BAD!!!! I have known this since I was old enough to know this!!!! I have never owned a slave. I don’t know anyone who ever owned a slave. I don’t know anyone who ACTUALLY was a slave. And I will never support such an abhorrent system!!! SO PLEASE! SHUT THE **** UP ALREADY!
Is it possible that this will backfire? That people will see this and realize that slavery ended 150 years ago and that the “oppression” that BLM and its Marxist allies claim is infinitesimal compared to actual, systemic racism like race-based slavery or punitive laws?
Good point
“It’s up to the artist to use language that can be understood, not hide it in some private code. Most of these jokers don’t even want to use language you and I know or can learn . . . they would rather sneer at us and be smug, because we ‘fail’ to see what they are driving at. If indeed they are driving at anything–obscurity is usually the refuge of incompetence.”

I am just really tired of all of this racist name calling game, It is getting pounded into Americans every day. People who have no clue if someone is really a racist just toss it out. I absolutely believe that there is NOTHING any white person can do to not be called a “racist” in 2020. The word is meaningless because it can only apply to a white people according to the SJW “rules”.
I don’t find this type of movie stimulating, education, entertaining, thought provoking and it is more than a little troubling that we can not even pretend to get past this as a society and instead regress. Race relations have deteriorated horribly in the last 15 year and it is disgusting.
I am sure Heinlein did it better in Farnham’s Freehold.
“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”

I actually liked The Hunt.
Agitation Propaganda is correct. This ignores and erases millennium of history of slavery, especially who was involved. It also fuels the ignorant out there who seem to be devolving into criminals and monsters looking for an opportunity to strikeout and take what they want while destroying the rest.
I agree with Bill!! Revenge Porn is a great phrase for this sort of thing, too …
Replay of Planet of the Apes. Yes.
Total virtue signaling. Absolutely.
Totally without socially redeeming value. Without a doubt.
I am not guilty of a crime committed by others. I do not owe anything to another that I have not prior agreed to owe. No matter who or what they are.
If any white can be convicted of a crime they did not commit but that long dead whites are presumed to have committed, then an innocent black today can be convicted of crimes presumed to have been committed by long dead blacks. Justice? Not, it is Anti-justice.
The fact is that some humans have done horrible things to other humans since the start of the human race. Such a circumstance cannot be corrected by today’s humans doing horrible things to other humans of today. Ultimately, the only way to stop it is to stop doing it.
Yet, it is still true today that some humans do horrible things to other humans. Rinse and recycled endlessly because “they started it”. This is an amazingly absurd way to try to run a civilization. This has never worked, does not work, and never will work.
Because white people have never been enslaved. En mass. Even white Americans. Hint: Saharan Arabs were non-discriminatory when taking people to sell into slavery.
In fact, I understand that Arabs have been historically preferential for white, female slaves. Edit: Perhaps I am conflating Arabs and Ottomans.
As I understand it, Ottomans were the primary customer. For Both the Arabs and the Tartars.
That documented Black Slave Owner in the US, an Angolan named Anthony Johnson, who is now no longer relevant. The 100,000 white Scots who were sentenced to slavery and sold by the English apparently never existed either.
I’d not heard about the Scotts. I’d only heard that Europeans were often indentured servants in the US. Made that way either as punishment, to pay off debt or to pay for passage to America. But not chattel slaves.
