is the evidence of the color line as an "internalized attitude " in Chris , Rod , or the police officers of color ? b) How does Chris's difficulty relating to and experience of mistreatment by the Armitages and their friends help us better understand what DuBois refers to as the veil ? c) Double Consciousness What are two specific examples from Get Out that help us to understand what DuBois means by the double consciousness In his 2016 acceptance speech for the Black Entertainment Television Humanitarian Award , Actor Jesse Williams said , "We've been floating this country on credit for centuries , yo. And we're done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind while extracting our culture , our dollars , our entertainment like oil, black gold . Ghettoizing and demeaning our creations , then stealing them , gentrifying our genius , and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit . The thing is though , that just because we're magic doesn't mean we're not real ." Explain how the film evidences the assertion made in this quote . In Dubois ' terms , how does Peele demonstrate what the double consciousness would be in the hands of dominant white culture ? d) DuBois believes the soul of the black artist has an important message for the world and considers the "second sight " African Americans have (because they can understand both what it is to be black and white ) as a strength that can bring about something new and greater . How are Chris's eyes and the fact that he is a photographer a commentary on the camera's ability to reveal racism in general and police brutality in particular in the age of social media ? 2. Critical Race Theory and Racial Formation a) What is one concept from Critical Race Theory or Racial Formation that helps you to analyze the social commentary on race in Get Out , that goes beyond Dubois ' foundational theorizing from the turn of the 20 th century ? 3. Your Opinion and Experience a) What is your opinion about this film overall ? b) How does watching a horror film with fictional and exaggerated processes help you to better understand concepts from Dubois , Critical Race Theory , and / or Racial Formation
