absolutely disgusting
They're in danger because a gang of maniacs are trying to kill them.
If anything, you're racist for assuming the man was poor. Im sick of everyone pulling the race card whenever a black guy and a white guy are present in the same movie.
Hypocritical post is hypocritical.

Hey.
Everyone hating on Michael Bay can go eat 3,000 chili dogs and die from overeating.
His explosions are fun to look at. Don't dis those explosions.

Just butting my way in here.
After Earth is like a person that tries way too hard to make you like them, only making them all the more unlikable. I wasn't expecting a great story by any means, but I found myself wishing the unbearable characterization/flashback segments would end already so we could just get on with it.
Oh well, I guess that's what I get for hoping for a good sci-fi.

"poor" is a relative concept, so we're all poor, technically
v) added for slight rascism.

Either way, The Purge looks retarded as all fucking hell.

I can't really comment since I hadn't even heard of this movie before now, is it a recent movie? Any commercial or context at least?
by a white dude? in this film so there's obviously something wrong
Oh yeah, guys keep an eye out, these threads have a habit of finding their way into the SJW Tumblr communities
*Reverse racism doesn't exist, didn't you know? You can't be racist against whites, it's socially and historically impossible
He's killed

Hey, ever thought of it like this?
Maybe- Now just hear me out, okay? Maybe... Just maybe...
It shouldn't fucking matter if he's black or white. It's about a guy, being chased by a psychotic gang of murderers, who is let into the family's house by their stupid son and gets invaded by the murderous gang. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. No class wars, no racism, no bigotry of any kind. In fact, the only racism we're hearing of is coming from you.

believe it or not, but walk out into the real world and people still give big fucks about skin color one way or another

After Earth is an unnecessary big budget obstacle course movie that reminds you that teenage boys listen to jack shit of what their parents tell them.

It only comes across as indirectly racist when you look at in a certain angle. However, I just see the plot as lacklustre and largely pointless. What would the government have to gain by allowing crime to be legal for 24 hours? It can't be used to incriminate anyone as anything they do during that time was technically legal so the police can't do anything about it. Similarly why does it focus on murder or manslaughter being the first resort in 24 hours lawlessness when most people would rather just simply get up to simple offences like speeding or littering - then again you would think that most people wouldn't resort to crime, even when the option is there to do it, a lot of people have a stronger moral character than you think.

I agree. Now nothing is racist. Hooray!

We are out of the 1930s, that's why the filmmakers figured it wouldn't matter which races they portrayed in the movie.
They sort of assumed people wouldn't be all like: "HOLY SHIT! THAT GUY! DID YOU SEE THAT? THAT GUY OVER THERE WHO WAS A BAD GUY! HE WAS BLACK! BLACK PEOPLE CAN'T BE BAD GUYS, THAT'S RACIST!"

Watched it today, and was more put off by the fact that "All crime is legal" = "Nothing but murder happens" than "homeless black guy". You'd have to connect some dots that really aren't there to get racism out of that.
