which wasn't a given, especially when his peer Ari Spears had a lot of "he's an outsider" criticism of Peele.


The thing is Peele said in that swipe from reply #17 (that supposedly isn't making things somewhat clear) that he is bringing up psychology issues that people repress/deny/resist whatever. And.........with his own biracial history/perspective (he's said to have had words with Ari Spears after Spears said that critical stuff about him) it is pretty easy to see that Peele (yes, even if he is smart/skilled/talented enough to pull this "Us" film in a "murkier" direction/message) is talking about his OWN repressed/not wanting to be direct feelings about Black people.

That's why Peele denying it (film supposedly not about race) in that reply #17 swipe is sort of like him battling what he's repressing.


So this is pretty fascinating however this turns out.
