People do the same with their grandparents

True, but this whole season has had a subtext of Van having a lost or "stolen" identity. Her German vs. American sides, black vs. white sides, she went from supporting Earn to being unemployed and supported by him. She's lost.

Yeah, but the shyt is deeper/more complicated than that. I could write a full dissertation on this shyt lol. It's not even about, a lot of times, a guy not being able to take her out or finance her or shyt like that, it's the idea that one person coming from a broke/poor situation with another person coming from a broke/poor situation, how much are you willing to risk building your relationship because there's no guarantees and the likelihood is you'll just end up being two poor adults raising poor kids thirty years from then. A woman from a well off family can go ahead and take that risk because, if it doesn't work out with the dude's dream, she can either quit him and find someone else easily and never have had to worry about wasting years of her life financially because her parents will support her, or she could take the lead financially until he's able to. Not even saying it's right/wrong, just that it's not as simple or superficial as people try to make it be in their efforts to demonize Black women.
I got you.

Good point, for some reason that scene reminded me of that Kanye line "And when he get on he leave yo ass for a white girl".


But it's not like black women have to invest financially in a dude's dream like that, they just have to understand that he can't take them out and spend money on them while he's trying to come up but the worst thing in the black community is a broke person.
I don't even think it's a broke versus not broke thing. Cause plenty of females waste time with the broke exciting guys. Most dudes that are heavy into drama/acting are looked at as either corny or gay and ain't getting checked for like that. But once he blows up and has that clout then now he's a sex symbol.

Women just want a man to make them happy.

Once you fail to do that, game over.

Thats why me and my baby stay good.
We make each other happy.
Life is a big ass trial and error.

Good point. That's probably why so many black women despise Omari Hardwick for being with a white woman. Dude was homeless trying to be an actor and I'm sure they didn't consider him sexy then.
