One with a bunch of bad kids isn't a supporting character. Earn's baby momma isn't a single mother.

The Cashier isn't a supporting character.

No one of us said stereotypes don't exist in media...all characters are stereotypes and tropes, it is how you handle them and how you flesh them out.
Like I said the only black WOMEN on Atlanta are all stereotypes. Anytime a black woman is seen she fits a stereotype loud, aggressive, belligerent, single mom. The only thing that separates earns girlfriend from an average single mom is now instead of having to take care of just child she has to take care of her baby father and child. They aren't married, they're both single and don't only strictly date one another as stated when she went on a date with a different guy in the first episode.

I'm sure you're also not a single mother but just because you exist in the real world doesn't mean you deserve to exist in someone's fictional one. Sad.
He specifically said that if black people aren't portrayed as saints then somehow we'd have a problem with the characters but come on there's a longggg way between a dope dealing shooter and average everyday black people like wtf

Yes. But if you only see dope dealers that's all that needs to be in the vision. :troll:

people should tell their stories as they know them, if all you see is dope dealers then I'm not quite sure how you'll be able to fit a Black lawyer into your story considering there are no Black lawyers in your story.
Unless he's your lawyer. But black lawyers don't defend black clients.:troll:

And he straight up called his baby mama an angry black woman at that :wow:

On the real, I think you dudes lost this argument. One show may eventually gravitate towards 'black men aint shyt' but the other is actually showing the underlying reasons why 'black men aint shyt'.

Both sides need to be more objective in this whole gender war crap

I haven't seen Insecure so I can't directly speak on the show...but I do think brehs have to keep it a buck with our new favorite show Atlanta having stereotypical characters too. I don't think context has truly been given to the characters yet but it gets a pass because it's well-written and funny.

On the flip side I wonder how Coli brehettes, their male defenders, and black women as a whole would feel if a show came out about an average late 20's black man who can't find anything but classic hoodrats or educated black women looking down on him for not having 3 degrees and a six figure salary.

But then again that show would probably never exist.

But...Atlanta is about Black men trying to come up...

Insecure is literally about Black men ain't shyt...like in 20 mins we got a full dose of Black men ain't shyt...and the source of Black woman's problems.

A bytch really broke down and cried cause a nikka married an Asian woman and nikkas won't marry her.

Issa was really staying down with a nikka that can't hold a damn job interview and looks like he is in 20s and been out of work for a long time. nikka on the couch everyday. We didn't even see this nikka go outside.

Issa complaining about doing nothing but staying on the couch and looking at her nikka like, "I want more in life..."

Then she about to get her back blown out by her ex and nikka like, "Chill...I don't want you like that..." Issa looking like somebody killed her puppy.

Atlanta isn't even about Black women, doesn't concern itself with Black women...

Insecure is Lip Stick Alley propaganda.

Dog if that show was created...the creators would have to hide out in a bunker...cause I think they might get assassinated.
