Thoughts regarding Donald Glover and Issa Rae’s new black media movement

Black love, provide the adequate electric
for what is lapsed and lenient in us now.

Rouse us from blur, Call us. Call adequately the postponed corner

brother. And call our man in the pin-stripe suiting and

restore him to his abler logic; to his people.

Call to the shattered sister and repair her

in her difficult hour, narrow her fever.

-Gwendoline Brooks
The premiere episode of Insecure, created and starring Issa Rae, almost immediately troubled me. As someone who is naturally attracted to what Issa Rae personifies (beauty, intelligence, determination, endless creative talent) I was both troubled and offended by the depiction of the black men in her world; as lazy, unambitious slackers who are woefully unprepared for any type employment. As emotionally immature but sexually aggressive misogynists who casually brush off even the thought of a committed relationship. And as interracially dating culture traitors who rush to cherish and uphold any and every other race of women other than our own. Three of the four check points of the black male stereotype were all checked off within the first 20 minutes (leaving only some variation of the street thug) which I found repugnant, and, coming from the mind and vision of a black woman, hurtful.

Breh... I think everybody black person who watched this ad legitimately couldn't believe what they saw when that price rang out to 1.49

:what:

I was like :dwillhuh:

"That damn inflation is a muthafukka" :smh:

Then I saw their reactions and shyt had me rollin' :mjlol:
I got an instant flashback of when that happened to me at a mexican liquor store, I made them mfs change the price to 1.07 (tax) :camby:

Looks like a lot of people go through this with small shops trying to get that profit in. lol.
