On Friday, a trailer for an upcoming movie called Loqueesha went viral. But this film isn't gaining buzz because of hype. Instead, there appears to be collective confusion as to what prompted the premise of the move. 

The trailer shows a white man apparently embodying a stereotypical black woman's persona to create a popular talk radio show. Doesn't look very promising on paper and it looks even worse as a visual preview. Many people are taking to social media to either make a light joke about the movie or express how much the premise doesn't make sense to them in this day and age.

So there’s a movie coming out called #Loqueesha and it’s about...

*reads again*
