How THE BLACKENING Critiques Social Alienation || In this video, I talk about Dewayne Perkins’ 2023 horror comedy, The Blackening, and the commentary it makes with its satire focused on social alienation among African Americans: Who among us has the right to decided if you're not black enough, and are they black enough themselves?

With things like internalized racism, the concept of whiteness, and oppression playing a factor when it comes to black folk responding to the social alienation they experience from their black peers, The Blackening and another satirical comedy focused on blackness are great examples of black social alienation that should be take seriously.
