In this blog, I will talk about Jezebel's article, Racist Hunger Games Fans Are Very Disappointed by Dodai Stewart, about the novel, Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I will summarize her article and give my own opinion and reaction about it and about the racist fans of hunger games.
In her article, she discussed that it was a good news that "Hunger Games made $155 million at the box office its opening weekend"; however, there have been some issues going on made by the Hunger Games's fans. A lot of white people are other fans haven't expect that there will be black actors like, Rue, Thresh, and Cinna, that will be playing some parts in the movie. The racist fans got disappointed about it. It's been a controversy of why did the producer made the good characters black, wherein back in the reality they said that, "Good people cannot possibly be black. Black people are villainous", and that it "ruined" the movie. The fans was upset and even admitted that it was so dramatic in the book and was disappointing in the movie wherein they haven't even feel any sympathy on Rue's death in the movie while they even cried when they read the book. Their reactions of loving the book and the characters behind it, where all turn "on feelings of disgust" after watching the movie.
It was just sad and makes me feel mad to those people that don't even care about black people, not just because of the movie, but also in the reality, that even the War ended about racism there are still a lot of racist who thinks that they are superior over any other race wherein they should always considered over anyone else especially over black people.
