GET OUT FINAL COGGLE, THESIS: Produced by Jordan Peele, "Get…

- - - - This clip showcases the ways in which Rose has utilized her role as a non-threatening white woman to target Black bodies, specifically men. up until this point, one can interpret Rose as being fairly racially progressive (e.g, She had defended Chris when a police officer had requested for identity).This scene highlights the insidious aspect of nuanced racism, which white women uphold to a certain extent.

        "White women were active and violent participants in the slave market. They bought, sold, managed and sought the return of enslaved people, in whom they had a vested economic interest. Owning a large number of enslaved people made a woman a better marriage prospect. Once married, white women fought in courts to preserve their legal ownership over enslaved people (as opposed to their husband’s ownership), and often won. “For them, slavery was their freedom,” Jones-Rogers observes in her book.White women also fought to maintain the wealth and free labor that slavery provided them through the Civil War.

        Rose's role directly ties into the historicaly context that white women have played in enslaving Black people. Rose's role in the movie is to trap Black people into being vessels for her family's consciousness transferring business targetted for dying white people. In both contexts we observe the ways in which Black bodies are commodified for the benefit of white capitalism.

        Within this scene we are shown Chris being introduced to Rose' family, who are portrayed being liberal minded and progressively white. In contrast to Guest Who's Coming to Dinner, which more overtly depicts white racism, we are shown a post-racial stance that many believe exists in tandem with colorblind racism. Rose's father himself states that he would've voted for Obama for another term if he could. In Guess Who's Coming to Dinner we can observe much more open racism, especially in regards to the ways in which white families react to Black male partners for their daughters. Get Out utilizes a similar framing to show that while white liberalism has claimed to be progressive, Black men are continuously objectified. In Get Out we can see this through the ways in which Rose actively traps Black men and women to be slaves for their mind/body transfer program.
        
        In Rhyme and Reason: ‘Post-Race’ and the Politics of Colorblind Racism, Mukherjee states that, “The ideology of post-race theories discharges historical paradigms for progressive racial reforms as ‘no longer necessary’ for shoring up the anemics parameters of official antiracisms. It leaves poor people of every race to fend for themselves within the governing logics of enterprise culture.” (Mukherjee, 51)
        
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAOyuW_S1Go When the Black mom suggests that her daughter find a young Black male to find, one of the old white women openly requests that they receive their contacts as well. This shows us that Black men desirability is rooted in a sexualized undertone that his been displayed in previous movies in Hollywood.
      - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNFyoZ34oWk 2014 Lois meets Chris' girlfriend who is black, and states that she voted for Obama once. This is shown as a joke to make the Black character in both situations seem more comfortable.
      - Rose's Dad tells Chris,“By the way, I would have voted for Obama for a third term if I could.” Through we are shown that Rose's family fits under the white liberal category, which often takes the stance of a post-racial society because of Obama's election. This is also shown in the Family Guy clip. I argue that Peele includes this in the clip to critique the post-racial discourse that emerged from Obama's election, which has continued to contribute to colorblind racism and microagressions against Black people.

        2018 Sex educator and blogger Oloni recently uncovered a conversation between two hosts of the podcast, Guys We F*d. They call it an anti-slut shaming podcast. In an episode posted on 9 May 2014 called “DO GUYS SHOW EACH OTHERS THEIR DICKS?” the hosts have a short debrief of the weekend past saying things like “I been fucking black guys since like the early 2000’s” and, “this was like a real black guy”, “he looks pretty black” “he didn’t act black enough but he did this weekend.”https://www.rifemagazine.co.uk/2018/10/white-people-only-dating-black-people-is-not-progressive-its-racist/
        
        Rising out of the black exploitation films, the Black Buck stereotype portrayed Black men as being hypersexual and violent, justifying their objectification.

        We are shown the ways in which Black bodies become means of physical labor to support white society. Rose's family has a groundskeeper named Walter, who is shown completing physical labor for the grounds. While it is a white person controlling Walter's actions, we are shown the ways in which the Black male body is controlled and manipulated.

        It was a life of endless labour. They worked up to 18 hours a day, sometimes longer at busy periods such as harvest. There were no weekends or rest days. "The dominant experience for most Africans was work on the sugar plantations. In Jamaica, for example, 60% worked on the sugar plantations and, by the early 19th century, 90% of enslaved Africans in Nevis, Montserrat and Tobago toiled on sugar slave estates."
        
        "The cotton planter and his pickers" is written on this photograph taken by H. Tees in West Point, Mississippi. It is a postcard showing a white man holding a shotgun and a dog, with African-American men, women and children in a cotton field in 1908, more than 40 years after the Civil War had ended and slavery was abolished.
