You liked that movie? I felt like it was an ad for cheating and wenching
Issa Rae's new show is black male bashing propaganda
- Thread starter Booker T Garvey
- Start date
doesn't donald glover's character in ATLANTA have a fukking job? working at the airport? I only saw the pilot. again, for the 10th time in this discussion: issa rae's character's live in boyfriend has 0 job - the stereotype of the black man is that we are lazy, shiftless, unemployed, and just lay up under women all day.
plus, every nikka down there IS trying to rap or be in the music business, that's not a negative stereotype any more than saying every mexican dude is obsessed w/soccer - some shyt is just the truth.
He does have a job.

It was but I thought it a little more nuanced than that.
It was sad to me. A brotha and sista who had a chance for love but decided to go back to their soulless romances with their non black partners.
He didn't have a partner and she gave up something real for security.

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.

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.
