Nothing New Under the Sun (The Haitian Lie) - Preview to Episode 269

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to preview the next film, "Rebel Ridge" (on Netflix) starring Aaron Pierre. The film follows an ex-Marine who grapples his way through a web of small-town corruption when an attempt to post bail for his cousin escalates into a violent standoff with the local police chief. The random topic this week is all about the controversial tweet by vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance, claiming Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are abducting and eating pets. The hosts strongly criticize this narrative, calling it false and rooted in racist, xenophobic stereotypes. They compare Vance's statements to historical prejudices against different ethnic groups, such as Haitians, Asians, and Jews. The hosts condemn the perpetuation of these baseless claims, arguing that such rhetoric puts lives in danger and stokes fear without evidence.
