Even though both the “Alien” and the “Predator” franchises featured black people fighting against those malevolent forces, a sociology professor stated that those movies helped perpetuate anti-black racism.
In an op-ed for The Conversation, sociology professor Tamari Kitossa argued that the “Alien” and “Predator” movies help perpetuate the “animal-like, demonic representations of Black people in media and popular culture.” Such representations, he claimed, leads to black people being “killed, beaten, tortured and raped by white police officers and vigilantes.”
