The worst kind of bully is one that has convinced people, perhaps including themselves, that they are a victim.

If you made this film but switched the races, there would be a massive protest outside the studio gates.

Once you scapegoat and dehumanize a group, you can be as hateful toward them as you like.

The fact this came out after American Fiction actively mocks the concept that all black films and books have to be about racism and crime proves the point of that film so brilliantly.

"Micro aggression" is my new favourite term. "You're doing something wrong, you just don't know it.... oh but don't worry, I'll let you know how I'm offended." Talk about brittle. It has nothing to do with "solving racism" but everything to do with perpetuating a movement (and the money that comes with it) that has no solid ground to stand on.

I’m black and I find myself avoiding shows and movies that are marketed as made by “Black Creators”… I’m just tired of this bro.

let’s face it, it’s impossible to say anything positive about Hollywood nowadays.

The director/writer Kobi Libii has been added to my "boycott until I die" list. I will never pay money for ANYTHING he is involved in. I will not fund divisive, toxic, hateful things/people/art/events.

On a positive note, this film has absolutely CRATERED at the box office. Tides are turning.

I loved seeing the IMDB ratings by country, some Americans desperately trying to keep it above 3* while UK sits at a comfortable 1.1* rating

I'm sorry but this movie is so bad I can't even watch the summary.

Can you imagine how funny this film could have been if it was was made in the 90s by the Wayans brothers with Terry Crewes as a genuinely naturally intimidating but good hearted fella who just cant catch a break due to stereotypes and then he meets, I dunno, Morgan Freeman who introduces him to the said society of magical folk. Could have been a classic😂

This movie seriously had a "white tears" meter? Wow. Just wow.

This is social engineering.

The fact the Main Character reminds me visually of Juicy Smolliet is either perfect casting or my brain auto completing the connection to try and make sense why anyone would write this

I’m AMAZED you were able to sit through this movie, as I wasn’t even able to make it through the trailer. I’m a biracial woman myself and was actually offended that this level of blatant racism is even allowed to be given a pass (because it’s against white people). And I’m definitely not one to get offended easily…the only one that may be worse than this is that “Everything’s Going to be All White” documentary 🤦‍♀️. Racism is not okay against anyone. Equality, NOT equity ✊

Instead of the Magical Society, what the main character really needed was some good old-fashioned Rocky Balboa speech.

That movie is the top tier level of cringe on the hypocrisy of racism, yet this video is, I think, your top tier quality. Thank you, thank you, thank you, especially for defending our Founding Fathers and our ancestors who paid the price with their blood to end the cycle of racism. It infuriates me how these racists get away destroying the hard work our society went through to put us back 50 years.

Being a victim is always in style

At this point, I’m more surprised at what IS NOT racism or micro aggression or whatever. The truth is, when you cut through all the crap politics, bad faith, and pseudo intellectuals you find the truth of the matter. It is not about equality or progress or righting wrongs. It is 100% about power; who wields it and how and over who. I’ve listened to enough lectures, Ted talks, interviews to find the common underlying denominator is power. The fetishizing of victimhood isn’t about fixing anything it’s about abusing it as a means to control others. Did you speak out of turn while a woman is present? Sexism. Did you fail to acknowledge the black man in the room? Racism. Did you show up to work on time? White supremacy. The only way to win the game is to not play their’s and recognize what it is.

The worst part about this “film” is that it caused me to lose all the love and respect I held for 30 years for David Allen Grier. I absolutely loved everything he’d done……until this. I guess not bending the knee doesn’t pay the bills🤷🏿

I despise people who claim to be against racism, while making all sorts of exceptions. It's simple, either you are against racism, or you aren't. There is no in between.

The director. The actor. Meghan Markle. I wouldn't know they were black till they say so, but they think them telling us matters so, so much.

At a time when the west, especially the US is becoming more and more divided along racial, political and religious lines, movies like this are exactly what we need to bring people together. (This is sarcasm)

Woke people: " BAGGAGE CLAIM JUST SAID THE GAMER WORD !!!!!!!! " Me : " 😏 As a black man she has more than earned her black card and she's a real one so she alright in my book. "

thank god for you. i'm not even white but I'm not a media person. i'm sick of all this shit.

Man..... Those who had a part in creating this story, are extremely out of touch. That, and they're genuine snowflakes imo. Being a brown man born and raised in the UK, the only racism I'd ever experienced actually came from other minorities and that was during my teen-age years where they were just jokes or everyone just saying wild shit to get at each other. They need to grow a spine and get thicker skin. Edit: I realise that I used the UK experience when this is based on the US experience of racism but after talking to my American friends about this topic, some being minorities themselves, the experiences were very similar.

Two videos in two days? Love it! Keep up the good work!

I remember a time in history when a country othered an entire group of people and convinced enough people that they were the cause of all the ills and things going wrong to the point that not only were they openly discriminated against and it was encouraged, but eventually they had to run for their lives. Just saying.

Imagine this movie was just about a group of magical people looking to help everyone's lives become better through small, everyday things. That would have been a much better movie.

Its very telling when the lead actor of the movie, told a journalist who was asking him questions about the movie, that the journo could NOT say the name of the movie because the journo was Whte and if he said the full name of the movie, that would be racist. Even though its in the name of the movie. This is ridiculous. When all industries, Govt, corporations, etc, cater to your every whim, then you are NOT being oppressed.

as a black guy, I think this movie is written by self-absorbed people. I have lots of problems and majority of them aren't because of white people it's my own fault I'm insecure to mutch today people blame everything on racism and use it as a get out jail card for tacking accountability if you make yarn art im sorry art is subjective but maybe people Don't by it cause your art is trash I could understand if he made African art and white people weren't buying it because they Didn't understand and wer being rude to him it and the art gallery kickt him out

im black and this shit is crazy to me.

Great video. Thanks for calling out this deplorable behaviour. I’m not sure it’s race baiting anymore though. It’s just racism. And what’s really sad is the racists, while being racist will tell you racism is the worst thing in the world. Very strange people.

As a member of the black community - we did not want this movie either. Litterly no one i know wants to see this trash. Im happy it has terrible reviews. Wtf were they thinking? Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves

Great video!! ❤❤ I am half-white, too. I never understood what I'm supposed to do about it, like it's a problem or something. haha 😂

P Diddy's home was raided by homeland security now he's racing to a country that doesn't do extradition

This is why I prefer films from my childhood - before 'woke' got involved Great video, thank you!

Holy cow! I'm blown away by an American crediting the UK and William Wilberforce! Great video. Love your content

"the micro-aggessions are hard to pin down" Perhaps because those are the type of unimportant things that most grown adults would just brush off and carry on with their day.

You keep releasing, I’ll keep watching. Keep’em coming.

I’m ashamed at the retribution mindset of some people with my melanin count

My friend is the movie reviewer for our small local newspaper, and he actually looked up the rest of the movie because he walked out and got his money back after awhile, idk how long though, he told his editor and they said they'll simply not cover it, too controversial in a literally forced way making people say the N word, which the editor himself was greatly upset at, and were a super rural southern town, we aren't racist we just aren't going to be called that or baited

I remember watching the trailer last month and just rolling my eyes at how obviously race baity it was. David Alan Grier needs to pick better projects.

According to the FBI, despite being 13% of the population, *African-Americans accounted for 56% of all homicide offenders in 2019,* with whites 41%, and 'Other' 3%, in cases where the race was known

Thank you so much for the research you put into presenting that part of history which we are supposed to forget about - and that they want us and our children to believe only the most negative aspects of Christianity, British and American history and western civilization as if that were the whole story. 🙏

Must be a sad world in which your only identity is your skin colour

You know that guy who runs a comic book shop who put that video up highlighting why the comic book industry is failing? This movie is the perfect example of what he was talking about! Too many egotistical "writers" more concerned with "the message".

Yes, another Baggage Claim video! Love this back to back rollout!

Sadness for me is that most people can not understand what Jefferson wrote. Also, France ended slavery in ~1792 and then again in 1848.

I paused the video around the barbecue recommendation because I had to facepalm myself. The actual FU**?

And if this trash movie doesn't make money. Guess what they'll say? Racism!

Magical society of victims. The common denominator for their misery...lies in their mindset of tearing others down to feel validated.

The magical black man has always been a Hollywood trope. But this takes it to another level.

Thank you for your honest and accurate analysis of this movie and the mindset behind it. The Left sees EVERYTHING through a racial lens. Us honest, truth-seeking, objective-minded individuals, truly want our minds and hearts open to the truth. Love people enough to be truly honest with them. While always being respectful. GOD bless America. Miss B. C. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻

It borders on being a student film. I think they got some funding or grants via Sundance and then a major studio released this (with their names attached). So the weird detail here, is that it sounded slightly like he was funded in this thing and facilitated in making an ass of himself by affirmative action and white guilt. If it's a bad film (or just not commercially viable), it could have been nixed when the idea was pitched, when the screenplay was written, or when the completed film was ready. There a probably hundreds of better films sitting in vaults because they were too mediocre to see the light of day. If a white person had written a script that was two ideas that didn't mesh (political critique, romcom), they might have been told "No". But if someone with a similar script is told "Yes! you're doing so well", then maybe the racism in play isn't where you thought it was. The insanity of this turkey is that unless people smile on it, they risk being accused of 'white fragility'. Being miffed gets to be evidence in support of Robin D'angelo continuing to have a career.

Boy that moment with Kimmel was pathetic. If Kimmel had any kind of balls, he would have yelled back at Anderson, "Don't sexually assault people. DON'T SEXUALLY ASSAULT PEOPLE!"

2:26 “Aaron who looks like he has the upper body strength of a baby…” Damn I didn’t know Baggage Claim could roast people like that!

If the producers had done a movie about Jean-Michel Basquiat a black artist who rose to the top of the art scene in NYC in the '80s, racism would have not been mentioned, once.

What's the point of posting a video on this when you can't comment or debate on the issue without being censored? What words can I say legally on this topic?

This history lesson on slavery is fantastic. Thank you!

Amazing videos! Things seem clear afterwards.

Wow what a video. This is my first watch of this creator and I have never subbed to anyone after only watching one vid. Hats of Baggage Claim. Keep spitting the truth.

To be fair, a recommendation for good bbq would actually help in calming me down and regaining focus. BBQ where i live sucks.

Cringe: *exists* Baggage Claim for our entertainment: Ah, shit! Here we go again...

I'll never watch anything with David Alan Grier in it again

Great channel, needs more recognition. Deep insight into the long walk/slow slide downhill of western entertainment media. Crowded market these days!

"Spoiler Alert" Everyone: Tough shit

FINALLY, Thomas Jefferson is THAT GUY and someone else finally gives him credit instead of hate, LOVE this video

Thankfully it got a 30 percent, so there's still hope for humanity

Microaggressions with extremists like this is like trying to win a game of Calvinball and not being Calvin.

I like how the creator just openly said he had to take things that aren't a big deal and artificially make them a big deal in order to have a premise. You know who deals with "microaggression" in life? Absolutely everyone. Most of us don't consider it to be worth whining about

Baggage Claim, you nailed it at the end… it’s not about justice and “equality”, it’s about power and revenge.

Keep the videos coming! You’re awesome 👏🏻

you know, i tried to google the barbeque thing, cause i don't really get it... but the first thing that google brought up were several articles that sounded extremely race baiting, saying that barbeque had ties to slavery, and that white people only eat bland food. honestly not sure what I was expecting. I'm just sick of this nonsense. great video as always.

The Magical Negro is a trope that draws from stores featuring the selfless and often actually Magical black character. This movie could've been the 'Get Out' of 2024...BUT INSTEAD WE GOT THIS! Instead of dismantling and reconstructing the troupe in a way that was smart, clever, and spoke to the audience about themselves and the world(the way get out did), we got a movie with....the dumbest moments in recent film history.

When I first heard the title of this movie, I assumed it would be a satire like _Blazing Saddles_ or _Network_. The references are dated, but then again so is the very concept, alas.

I'm surprised Justice Smith was allowed to play that role, since his skin is basically white, he just has typical afro american facial features.

Thanks BC!

Simply shocking 😳😲. It's hard to believe it's actually been released in cinemas...

I’m black and honestly none of my friends or family want or even ask for these types of movies or tv shows.

I feel like if the script of this movie was handed over to the makers of South Park, it would’ve been a funnier and smarter satire! But alas, it’s garbage 🤮

I love how you've been able to make more content more often. I love your videos! Keep up the great work! 😊

This one was fantastic! So glad you included historical writings of Jefferson. I’m fully aware of the grooms race-bating going on in society today but I had no idea Jefferson fought for abolition.

The downright absurdity of this movie is ridiculous. This movie is full of people who play victim. Does anyone know what a microaggression actually is?

I'm Caribbean. I will not be sucked into the ideology of American "black culture", no matter how much shaming Black Americans do to me. I'm more than my skin colour. I am me. I am free!

Once again, I feel the need to voice my adoration and appreciation for this channel. Keep up the good work. :)

I didn't plan on watching this one, so thanks for taking one for the team on this 😅

It's impressive how despicable this movie is. In SO many different ways, It's surreal really.

I am a social worker and I encountered several cases where woman got provably raped by a black man (DNA) and refused to identify him because she was either afraid to be seen as a racist or what his friends might do to her family. Two of them insisted it was a white man despite the evidence. Now, that's an actual true story with a similar concept. I would get crucified if I made an honest movie about that. They made a Special Victims Unit episode about a case like that recently. They spent most of it giving speeches about structural racism and ended it with a scene where they tried to make you feel bad for the poor rapist not getting attractive white female attention and acting out of desperation.

Excellent video as always! I do think the issue of race in the Civil War is a lot more nuanced. If you asked any soldier or officer of the US Army in 1862 if they were fighting to abolish slavery, they'd have laughed at you. The notion of abolition really only took off in 1863, and even then slowly. Gen. McClellan, among other officers, really hated the idea that they were fighting for slaves, so much so he ran as a Democrat against Lincoln in 1864 on a platform not strictly opposed to just making peace with the Confederates. Lincoln himself made innumerable compromises to keep the remaining half of the Union intact, including juking the slavery issue, so he didn't face the secession of Kentucky, Missouri, and the other border states. Then there's the politicking around the 13th Amendment, the fights over raising African-American infantry units in the US and even among the rebels as they grew desperate, so on. It's deeply interesting and one of the handful of times in US history where you can really see society changing on a vast scale relatively rapidly.

I didn’t realize they were being accommodating when they stole my bike and weadeater.

What would MLK would say?

Truly excellent and amazing work Claim. It’s the one good thing to come out of this movie.

The thing that made me decide i was never going to watch this movie was how the character at one point in the trailer says his "whole life has revolved around making white people comfortable" or something to that effect and David Allen Grier's character saying "bad things happen if white people are uncomfortable". and yet who are the people who riot and loot entire towns or parts of cities in protest of things they dont like? if his whole life revolves around making white folks comfortable why is it in todays woke dei society white people are the ones who have to walk around on eggshells or face "cancellation"? we can be called all sorts of racist terms like "bleach demons" or have all sorts of racist opinions thrown our way on social media without any of the people doing it facing any sort of consequence but if one white person had to do the reverse they would be doxxed and arrested for hate speech. but your life is about making another race feel comfortable?

Always glad for a Baggage Claim video.

So let me get this straight. A film, clearly intended to make white people uncomfortable, is about how black people need to make white people comfortable to avoid racism, and concludes it's main character's arc with the announcement that he won't be making white people comfortable anymore, ---- accept that said announcement comes at the end of the very film intended to make white people uncomfortable? I'd say this film's very premise was about to disappear into a black hole, accept that using words like "black hole", now makes me uncomfortable!

It is the worst movie you have seen...YET! Never underestimate the ability of the woke mob to stockpile faeces.

I consider myself reasonably well versed in history but I learned certain things about Jefferson that I didn't know. Thank you for that

When I first heard about this movie, I genuinely thought it was a parody but my god I’m lost for words. This is pure disgusting. And I’m not even white.
