The Announcement That The Game Of Thrones Creators Are Making A Show About If Slavery Still Existed Was Rightfully Destroyed
Game Of Thrones’ Slave Show Gets Killed
You know how much we love Game of Thrones even though they don’t have any black folks in it? Well, now we know why it’s probably best they left us the hell alone. The creators of the show, David Benioff and Dan Weiss, are coming up with a new show for HBO called Confederate. The show is about if slavery never ended. For real.

So naturally, this is getting dragged through the dirt and rightfully so. So the folks can come up with a mythical world of dragons and time travelers for white folks but black folks get…slavery. So yeah. SMH.
If you were really pressed to show slavery still existing after the Civil War, you could like do a series on the South after the Civil War

imagine being so white that you think an America run by white supremacists is a neat idea for an alternate universe TV show

But Netflix already made a documentary about the American prison system #Confederate pic.twitter.com/0JPphxrUou

White people cannot help but turn our pain into spectacle. It's part of what forms their identities and confirms white supremacy. https://t.co/oPGvYUyp7P

instead of a show about slaves what about a show where michelle obama tells us everything is going to be ok for an hour every sunday

It is exhausting to think of how many people at @HBO said yes to letting two white men envision modern day slavery. And offensive. https://t.co/xsxWJ6FHUv

"Why don't you all just get over slavery, but also here is a show where we imagine if you blacks were still our property"
Incredible. https://t.co/z3N8iSuWop

Why "White" ppl get these fantastical epics where they tame dragons & conquer the World but we get a series about being stuck in slavery? pic.twitter.com/eV2U0S8SuH

Two Jewish men spent years dreaming up a project in which American slavery never ended? Surely this will go well.

Y'all really think slavery vanished after Lincoln signed that little post-it note

Us: "HBO has great diverse shows like Insecure and Ballers. What's next?!"
HBO: "What if you were still enslaved?" https://t.co/2EAVseNG7T— Joined By Joi SZN (@jumpedforjoi) July 19, 2017
