The Most Overlooked & Underrated Characters in ‘Get Out’ Are Black Women

[U]nlike Logan and Walter, who apparently needed a camera’s flash to “wake up,” Georgina was the only one whose black consciousness broke through without an external trigger. She also seemed to have the greatest internal struggle when she was in close proximity to Chris. Which means she was fighting the hardest but it wasn’t even for herself. That is what’s heartbreaking.

I’m not sure that Peele did this intentionally, but Georgina is the embodiment of the two-edged sword that is the “strong black woman” stereotype. It’s this idea that Black women can’t be broken, that we don’t crack under pressure, that we make the best of our circumstances, or that we don’t need support. While this stereotype is founded in some truth (black women are some of the most magical and persevering beings I know), it also builds up a myth about black women and our ability to maneuver through life. We can be broken. We do crack under pressure. Sometimes, our circumstances get the best of us. And no matter how stable we are, we ALWAYS need support.

I said this to my friend when we were discussing the movie. The actress was able to show the fear and despair in her eyes all while keeping a smile and pretending everything was ok. We do that shit every day. Kudos to her for successfully displaying that feeling and kudos to Peele for putting it in the film.

Summer is coming which means all the black girls about to be all types of golden

The suicide rate among black children is alarming. We need to do something about it!

And do white America give a hoot about it? I really doubt… They don’t care! They can see only white problems!

Sometimes life is really a hell for black kids who aren’t strong enough. Children can be very cruel, especially when it comes to racism, so be attentive to your friends!
