Interesting idea. I do like AUs and what-ifs, and I'd be curious to see the path of alternate history that would ultimately lead to a scenario where blacks were the slave masters. My guess is that you'd have to go back to the Middle Ages to lay the groundwork properly ... Beginning with a series of epically failed Crusades and retaliation strikes, perhaps ... Hmmm.
Real history had Africans enslaving white people since before the continent been aloha snackbar. Granted the slavers were mostly Arabs and such not Sub-Saharan Africans grabbing whitey. Though the slave trade did brought white slaves south of the Sahara. Even thousand-two thousand years ago negros still prefer white women over their own women.
 
I don't even know how cracker would be a slur in this universe. Is the labor of the white populace cattle driving? What cracking is happening here? I'm so confused.
After additional research I have found that Cracker is a term for poor farmers that grew wheat and corn (as well as all the other meanings) and that is the closest I can get to putting it together. I think it also means that the slave owners in this narrative don't know how to maximize their profit and will really run into fiscal troubles in the future.

Which reminds me then cracker isn't a slur or racist term as Trayvon Martin's ex-girlfriend Rachel Jeantel explained. Oh and if someone said you the n-word is racist said then a black woman named Rachel Jeantel said it's not racist. :story:
 
I don't think it'll pull Blair Witch or Tiger King profits. I'm just talking about the possibility it does better than make even, or at least does better than Cuck's famous zero dollars.

Honestly, given how low the buzz is outside of the Farms and how this will probably be a limited release, I think the movie breaking even is the best-case scenario.

It'll probably fare a lot better than Cuck but that's damning with the faintest of praise.

I get the feeling that most of the people who do decide to show up to this movie won't be SJW punks or black supremacists but instead would be people looking to watch a "So Bad It's Good" trainwreck in the theaters.

Seriously, this would be prime Mystery Science Theater material if it came out in the 60's or 70's and if I were the studios, I'd play up that angle and just go full grindhouse with the promotional materials.

How does the "release" thing work with made-for-TV movies? I honestly have no idea.

Are we sure this hasn't been made already back in the Blaxploitation era? It seems like something that ought to have been (especially since I know at least a couple books have been written with exactly this premise, though this isn't adaptation of any of them AFAIK.)

True, there was slavery on the African continent. (Still is in some places. I guess they don't know it's Current Year.) But the impression I got was that it was still set in America, albeit an AU America, so I was wondering how to get an entirely non-native population who didn't actively engage in colonization of the Americas to not only run the joint but be powerful enough to enslave the original historical colonizers. Or is it set in Africa? I might have derped and misunderstood it ... But I really can't be arsed to go back and check it again.
 
Watched the trailer. It's isekai. Very poorly thought out isekai, since even though black people rule the world, all the clothes, weapons, etc. are lifted straight from the civil war/cowboy movie props department- the only way this could really make sense is if our neo-Nazi protagonist is actually dead and this is his hell/purgatory.

This might be worth a hate-watch (after finding a totally legitimate copy floating on the high seas of course) just to see how tone-deaf and sadistic it is. If you'd written this story twenty years ago (as Steven Barnes did, more or less) then the overarching theme would be how evil is evil, and develops in predictable ways no matter it's cosmetic features; white, black, it's all the same from a spiritual standpoint, because we're all human underneath. It's [the current year], though, so they're going to try and have it both ways by making the main character irredeemable for being white while being put through the wringer for it. If the creators are bad enough at making him unsympathetic (which they might well be, since they're not going to consider the possibility of a white supREEEEEEmacist being sympathetic) it could develop a semi-ironic right-wing following, Man in the High Castle-style.

Anyone remember White Man's Burden with that Travolta homo? Roots meets Planet of the Apes.

Bigger question is how the black Africans stop having nigga moments long enough to beat the Arabs in North Africa nevermind conquering Europe itself.

In fairness to the movie(s), putting in backstory is tricky because of the time limitations. A book or a show (on the off-chance that one was ever made) can actually put the time in to show the work.

No argument on that. Problem with these kind of alternate history stories the "how" part makes or breaks suspension of disbelief if it's not addressed in the story in some way. Though that generally only applies to people with an IQ above functional retarded aka normies.

True dat, though there's always the pitfall of larding down your explanation with so much history sperging that it's just as no explanation from a storytelling perspective. (I do think Barnes was inspired when he introduced in-universe historical revisionism as a get out of jail free card for history being fucky.)
 
It's set in a universe where Yakub's evil creations: White people, never learned how to use 'Tricknology' and never subjegated the blacks.
I will never get over how Elijah Mohammed came up with something that sounds like it could've been Juggalo Dark Carnival bullshit
