TL;DR Summary

Fox News has sparked outrage among its viewers by claiming that Barack Obama's Netflix film, "Leave the World Behind," is promoting "anti-white" racism. The film, produced by Obama's Higher Ground Productions, features a scene where a Black character warns her father about not trusting white people during a disaster. Fox News hosts, who admitted to not having seen the movie, criticized Obama's involvement and accused him of promoting critical race theory. Critics of the film have focused on its slow pace and simplistic themes, rather than its racial content. The controversy was fueled by online sharing of context-free clips from the film, leading to a heated discussion on Fox News shows.
