I am watching a comedy-horror movie called The Blackening. I won’t spoil the movie, but it had a line that made me pause the movie because I was laughing so much. A rare event.

The main characters, all of whom are Black, must establish/determine who is the “Blackest” in order to satisfy a board game that is threatening to kill them(it’s a fun movie!). Obviously, they all point to each other and each other’s various “Blackness”, but when they point to a nerdy character, he just pauses and says:

**“Uh…I voted for Trump.”**

:outright shock on everyone’s faces:

“Twice…All Lives Matter!”

It’s a great moment and a great line. Made me double-over in laughter.
