Agree, they really ruined a good narrative they could have played withNah we ain’t bugging. I wasn’t feeling that shyt.
The issue is, I felt like they TRIED to make it more balanced when the black chick went off saying that the white woman had “opportunities” that she didn’t have. She, as a black woman, doesn’t have the benefit of watching a black man “grow” into his own because she’s busy trying to survive her damn self in a world that treats her, in many instances, even WORSE than that of a black man.
The problem is that they had her embody the “angry black woman” stereotype while she expressed her viewpoint. Which pissed away the entire message, because everyone will be harping on the “loud, neck rolling, angry” part instead of reading between the lines.
It’s especially heinous considering that the show’s writers have gone to great pains in season one to poke fun at, and ultimately dismiss that stereotype. Van called Earn out on that shyt wayyyyyy back in season one (episode 3 Go For Broke)
It could’ve been done MUCH better and as a fan of both Donald Glover and the series, it was dissapointing that they decided to go that route.
Ima rate the episode a 7/10. My lowest rating for an episode.
Well I guess that writer had some pent up anger he wanted to let outDonald didn't write this episode. Look at my last post
@ "I ain't got time to be supporting no community ass nikka for 8 years"
One week they played Deadpool lmao which seems kinda ironic now.They either play this or Straight Outta Compton every damn Thursday
The "Brad Pitt/shond rhymes" line also didn't make sense. imo
Then you were never a fan to begin with
Episodes with Van are some of the most insightful eps of the series (Value, Juneteenth, Helen)
Ok I was interpreting differently.Brad Pitt line made perfect sense. Black women feel like the top successful black males date the most average white women (looks wise). The reverse is not true. You would not see Brad Pitt date a black woman who is not considered as one of the best looking of her race, regardless of her success.
That is a GREAT nameYou got a point
There's a cat around the way who makes a killing selling knockoffs out of his van. Even got business cards.
