CMV: The outrage over the planned HBO show 'Confederate' is not reasonable

I agree with you. I am very liberal and I don't agree with 99% of conservative views, but the outrage over this show is a little ridiculous. Im actually bothered that because talk of a potential show being based on if slavery still existed is written by two white men, then it means these white men must be racist. I don't know if I'm being biased, but there was similar outrage to the making of Django. The fact that a movie that was centered around slavery and used the N word over a hundred times, must mean the white writer/director was disrespecting the black community in some way. Django was an amazing movie, one of the best of all time in my opinion, and the writer/director has personally marched with people of color, fighting for their rights. What we need to be upset over is the racist motherfuckers in the White House, senate and House of Representatives. We don't know these people like we know the writers of GOT, and that's scary and sad cuz THEY actually have an affect on our future.
