Are You Black Enough for The Blackening? | READUS 101
Added 2023-08-01 16:00:16 +0000 UTCWith the release of the horror-comedy film The Blackening, African Americans now have another satire that successfully highlights the dangers of alienation within our own community in the form of judging other black folk’s own personal blackness. So much that I wish that there was a version of The Blackening that worked the concept of being not black enough as a thriller that took itself more seriously, while also reflecting on another comedy satire that also mixed the concept with the likes of racism, whiteness and oppression.
