Backrooms is racist film. It’s technically brilliant, but racist. And it’s a shame during a time where Black studies is being eliminated on college campuses because I fear people are overlooking the obvious tropes and racist callbacks the film ridiculously displays.

White woman therapist plays damsel in distress and moral compass in a film that has her telling her angry verbally abusive alcoholic Black man client — who has no redeeming qualities — that his white wife left him because all he does his whine. She says she — a psychiatrist — can’t help him. He’s wired like that.

She then gets chased by a large caricatured, exaggerated version of angry Black man that threatens to end her life

They made this Black man a man who takes no responsibility for his actions until he’s locked in and endless liminal space with a white woman shouting at him to quit whining and take some personal responsibility.

Stop blaming the world, Black man.
You’re the one that’s angry, violent, and abusive in this world.

His therapist.

Clark, the Black guy, actually starts to prefer the endless liminal space to his outside reality. He’s fascinated by it . He made his home in it, so much so that he takes pleasure in the fact that he can eat and hurt the copied beings in the space with no consequence.

Movie reads like … “Yes, prison is preferred for Black men battling mental health.”

Wanna talk about a place where space and time collapses? Look no further than solitary confinement in prison.
