Prejudice And Racism In The Film 'Get Out'

At the end of” Get Out”, it's evident that once Rose’s job is complete to lure Chris into the house and trap him,she in need to trap her next victim. This showcased white women's passive indifference to racism in America.Her history of hunting down Black people to return home is a reflection of Black men being fetishized in modern society. She sees black people as just items, she was basically shopping for a physically-enhanced slave. Even Though, in the beginning of the movie she seems to defend her boyfriend from first the cop, and her parents second. It later on discovered that it was all an act that she was a part in. It’s hard to tell if she actually enjoys being intimate and sexual with black men or just following the orders of her family.
Stereotypical perceptions of black men include: a tall structure, muscularity, sports endurance,aggressive,violent,and lazy. It became evident in the movie that rose’s family was only concerned in the physical attributes the incoming black slaves were given. And the reason for this is because in the end, they were going to do a switch brain transplant. They don't give off the “normal” acts of racism like racial slurs, or racial profiling, but the movie did include subtle microaggressions. For example, the dad in the beginning saying “ Right

boy?”, it was almost easy to miss. During the time of slavery, boy was a term used multiple occasions for black men in the cottonfields.
Themes within “Get Out”
The “Silver Spoon”
The silver spoon was used to embody economic privilege, which the Armitage’s clearly have.

The real-world connection here is a how White society has always used its economic advantages to render the Black population powerless to control its own destiny. The mother made him feel not only powerless, but set him into an uncomfortable vulnerability. And I feel like this is a commonality between many black people ,including myself, that feel they will never feel enough as whites. That's why I feel when the 2008 presidential election was going on, it was huge deal for not only black people ,but white people too. Many were caught almost “ dumbfounded” by the fact that that was even

possible.
White washed black person-
During the film , Chris and georgina (the housemaid) share an encounter that involved them discussing whether or not she ever felt neglected or uncared for by the Armitages. Even Though, georgina shares that she felt part of the family, she starts to shed tears. I believe this is the “Real” georgina that is showing through, she can't speak orally so crying was the only way to escape her feelings. This to me was translated onto a bigger scale, a Black person who hates what they’ve become, but must continue to be that way in order to be accepted.
Hit and Run scheme
In the beginning of the movie where Rose and Chris are driving up to her parent’s house, they come across a deer and hit the animal. It was so badly hit that it resulted in death. Rose at first blew it off, and chris went to go check on it. This may have been brushed off as nothing, but this happens a lot within America. This deeply related to the current issue of the many killings of black people. When they finally show up the parent’s house, dean(the father) goes on to talk about how the deer population is too high and interrupting the ecosystem.
This film showcased a modern, white liberal side of continuing slavery in america. The present day issues that are going on in america were definitely in this movie. This film reconnects history to contemporary life by displaying the overall inferiority that is experienced by millions of black people. The overall power and racism that Whites have over blacks is still present today.
