Racism In Debra J Dickerson's Film 'The Great White Way'

In Jordan Peele’s movie Get Out the main characters Chris visits his girlfriends parents for a weekend. On his weekend get away Chris encounters a number of questionable interactions with his significant others family that generated a sense of reasonable doubt that they were racist on some level. A large part of the awkwardness that Chris questioned was the fake grasp of racism that dangled over his head. The altered perception of his identity on his visit was result of racial fantasy that belittled Chris. Debra J Dickerson’s “The Great White Way” adds to strange perception of race as seen in Get Out. Dickerson explains that people create a hierarchy of power which is based on race and the way people perceive one race to another. The connection
between Get Out and “The Great White Way” is evidenced through fetishization, appropriation, whiteness, and racism.
