Issa Rae’s Emmy Winning Series: Insecure Official Thread
- Thread starter Milk N Cookies
- Start date
For as long as she fought to have her show, she prolly had to include a lot of that. I'm sure 2 or 3 of the girls will have a fling or relations with non-black men to appeal to the 'love sees no color/gender' audience.As I said before I was ready to support the web series until I read that she ended up wenching with a Cac over a brotha so I never bothered. I do want to support more people of color being in charge of their own creative representations and output however I will NOT support the continued representation of black men as thugs, fags, or ambition-less lazy morons. Just look at the description for the male lead
Ellis plays Lawrence, Issa’s depressed and unemployed boyfriend who has been getting his act together for four years
Again I'll check it out based upon wanting to support a black woman but if the black male turns out to another stereotype I'm out
I understand that but she didn't have to compromise on her YouTube show, which was funded by Gofundme, and she still chose to portray an interracial relationship over a black relationship.
Maybe that was part of her being an awkward black girl

From a complicated ass realtionship to misinterpreting little things, I'll be honest and admit I too freestyle when I'm alone( but I will never do it publicly!!).
