I might give it a chance if y'all aren't trolling. I saw the first episode and saw the angle she was running so i threw it to the bushes.
I don't even watch much TV anymore tbh

We were all saying the same things and changed our mindsI might give it a chance if y'all aren't trolling. I saw the first episode and saw the angle she was running so i threw it to the bushes.

So thus far Issa has cheated on the loyal boyfriend and is trying to hide it from him. She mentions it to her best friend, (who ditched a guy because he worked at a rental car agency only to be fukked and curved by nikkas "on her level") and the friend bluntly told Issa to not tell her boyfriend.
As far as the friend goes, after getting another swift curve (plus seeing some pasty white woman/co-worker marrying a black man) she gets in her feelings, gets drunk and goes to the rental car breh's house coppin pleas. He smashes her the next few days and they're hitting it off. One night while they're trying to brag about wild shyt they've done, he flatly says that he let a male friend of his give him head and that it was a "one time thing". She's shook and couldn't get past it and eventually drops him.

So instead of black male bashing it's just some new black projection of black women taking L's all day?
Get mad because all these archetypes are real and you may fall into one of them, brehs.
Get mad at the female perspective, brehs.
Get mad because the mirror been turned on black men after a couple decades of "fukk that ho bytch, that fukking skeezer. I see the same hoes, sack-chaser" rhetoric, brehs.
There are ain't shyt women and men, growup and get out of your feelings @thatdude901

only one person here sounds mad and it damn sure ain't me. I made this post before the show was even released, you had to watch the pilot on HBO GO
and apparently her man actually got a job...but my points still stand:
1) she was housing a grown man...okay he's an educated black man with a degree that can't find work; but he doesn't have roomates? family? friends?
he HAD to live at his womans spot?
2) again - reverse it: black man with steady job/career housing a young educated black woman...would that fly? have we ever seen that scenario on screen before?
you seem to be more upset at questions and observations - i haven't said the show sucks, issa rae is not talented, I haven't even said don't support the show...
how? what's c00nery about that show? did they say that laurence fishburne was "c00ning" too?!?

1. Is more common than you think....
2. Stereotypes don't have to be the same to be damaging...black women (just like black men) have been victims of media programming. However, black men have dominated our most popular medium (rap) which has been by far more misogynistic than not.
I responded the way I did because you all seem to live in consistent cognitive dissonance. On one hand, this board claims to be all about black people and black art first and yet when black art is created (especially by black women) you cry foul. Pick a side, either support black people (all of em) or be cool with being a self-absorbed, male chauvinist.
Just saying, breh.

so you're just gonna flat out ignore my second question?

Yeah...the Cosby Show
But for real, I'll concede your point on the inverse simply because I don't feel like scouring the internet. Which is why I brought up the fact about different stereotypes. Its also highly unrealistic the inverse, especially when black women are becoming the largest demographic recipients of undergrad and post-graduate degrees and the jobs that come with that.

It's not catering to the over the top pro black feminist idiotic views some of these ratchets are running around with. This show could easily be a all white cast with the same issues, and would be widely accepted IMO. The blackness is what makes its essence so important.

Just a show about regular shyt people could go through,who happen to be black.
