Right after Smith\u2019s character replies with \u201cshark,\u201d he is immediately corrected by Grier, who says, \u201cWhite people when they feel uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhite people feeling uncomfortable precedes a lot of bad stuff for us,\u201d he continued. \u201cThat\u2019s why we fight white discomfort every day. Because the happier they are, the safer we are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.com\/article\/2j66tj\/the-american-society-of-magical-negroes-director-kobi-libii-talks-his-debut-film-being-inspired-by-spike-lee-and-stepping-behind-the-camera\">In an interview with Black Entertainment Television, <\/a>Libii shares,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt all sort of starts with the Magical Negro trope,\u201d the director prefaced. \u201cI\u2019m sure you\u2019re familiar with it, but just to define it on my own terms, I think of the Magical Negro as a kind of stock Black character; a Black best friend character who is only focused on helping the white hero.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on, \u201cThey don\u2019t really have an inner life, and they don\u2019t have their own things going on. They\u2019re just relentlessly focused on helping this white character grow in most cases, and I always thought that was so funny. For whatever reason, the idea that there\u2019s a white writer who pictures the thing we do in the morning is getting up and trying to help them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found it so absurd and incorrect and funny that I wanted to blow it out and criticize it, but also use it as a way to talk about other stuff,\u201d Libii further explained. \u201cWhat it\u2019s like to grow up as a Black person in this culture and some of the wild and fantastical things we have to do to survive. To me, that\u2019s the origin story of the film.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch the trailer below:<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2018I literally can\u2019t believe I\u2019ve just seen that.
