As Others See Us: Five of the Most Anti-White Films Ever

There’s no shortage of films that lionize non-white people, non-white interests, and non-white worldviews. Out-and-out anti-white movies are less common, but quite instructive. These films invert W.E.B. Du Bois’ famous claim that

The Negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil, and gifted with second-sight in this American world,—a world which yields him no true self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world. It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.

All five serve to remind whites, especially Southern whites, of how the other side sees them.

Two Thousand Maniacs!

One of the original “torture porn” movies, Two Thousand Maniacs serves to remind Yankees that Southerners are still furious about losing the Civil War, and eager to “get even” with random Northerners in the most gruesome ways possible.

Mandingo

A 1970s grindhouse film about the antebellum South. The whites are all sadistic slave-owners whose sexual proclivities range from incest to miscegenation.

Secret Honor

A one man show about Richard M. Nixon. Over the course of a 90-minute monologue, the former President rambles incoherently and whines pathetically as he guzzles down booze. Nothing else happens.

Far From Heaven

A sad housewife in idyllic 1950s suburbia discovers that her cold husband is a closet homosexual. The only man who truly feels her pain is a sensitive and cultivated black man. All her “friends” and neighbors ever do is gawk and gossip.

Lincoln

President Abraham and Radical Republican Thaddeus Stevens are portrayed as moral men with a keen eye towards practicality. The Southerners and CopperHeads are all just bumbling fools whose Machiavellian scheming fails. (Find a full review of it, from a pro-white perspective, here.)
