Peter Jackson hates black people

Ever since Kanye West uttered those revelatory words about our nation's President, I have been on the lookout for these subversive hate-mongering white men that have risen to positions of power. Last night, as I watched the updated version of King Kong, I believe I found one - Peter Jackson.

Throughout his film he has one racist visual image after another, each one more heinous and insulting. The violent, murderous natives of "Skull Island" are all as black as sin, while the lily-white Americans are just trying to make a harmless movie. It seems that this color-scheme is foremost on Mr. Jackson's mind since upon close observation, it becomes apparent that several of these natives are really Anglos and Asians done up in black-face. And here I thought that kind of degenerate entertainment went out in the 50's.

In the film, the most violent, bloodthirsty native is obviously an Asian male, but his skin is a deep ebony. If you think that the racial overtones hadn't been obvious enough, the palest of these "natives," a decrepit old hag, is the only one of them capable of speech. Obviously, she had to whiten herself up to gain the gift of language.

The only redeeming black character in the film is the ship's first mate, who just so happens to be the first human killed by Kong in the film. Obviously some twisted commentary on black on black crime. I'm sure Mama Jackson would be so proud.

And Kong himself is perhaps the worst embodiment of racial stereotypes since Darth Vader. The BLACK gorilla is able to lift more, jump higher, run faster and throw farther than any of the white characters, yet the one thing that he lacks is basic human intelligence. He is ruled entirely by instinct with no intellectual thought, probably how Jackson views the entire black race. Oh, did I mention that he spends his entire time on screen obsessed with a blonde-haired white girl. Apparently an ebony princess isn't good enough for our erstwhile king.

They could have only made Kong more insulting if they had done him up in blackface and had him tap-dancing on a stage to entertain the white folk--oh wait, they already paid some black actors to do that at the beginning of the film.
