RadioOnFire.com - With all the racial tension now—and throughout American history—Netflix has decided to take a more theatrical action while calling out some of the overtly racially insensitive white folks. Whether some excuse discriminatory behavior such as: "I didn't know that was racist" or "My best friend is Black," the series replicates Justin Simien's film into a Netflix original series, which premieres April 28.
With that being said, during Trump times, there was an immediate backlash with some Netflix subscribers boycotting the streaming service. Within the first day of the trailer's release, it was viewed for more than 530,000 times. In response to the boycott, Simien told ET, Thursday [Feb. 9], "For me, it was really profound, encouraging in a weird way." He said, "It just brought more attention to the series. Thanks, white supremacists, you really helped me promote my show." Jokingly adding, "I'm a little grateful, I guess, to the insanity."
Oh, also, the show does call out African Americans and some of the internal issues within their community. So watch before judging.
