I read about this and couldn’t believe it.
This is so dead on:
“I say that any story that centers on “slavery remaining legal” in a modernized society is hitting too dangerously close to home — especially at a time when Donald Trump is casually taking dumps in The White House while Black people are legally gunned down with their seat belt fastened.
I am a white woman, and I had the same reaction, especially when I saw that photo of that pair of “hip” white men with no skin in the game, with a so-called “president” who tells us in a million ways that their ilk is the only type of person that matters. This is oblivious beyond belief. I wish they would role play for one day and imagine a scenario in which rich white men in Hollywood are captured and made into slaves. Maybe they would get how other people who are not them feel about this.
