i seen in her person she got a phat ass :banderas:

issa rae is fine as hell in this show; she's never looked this good i gotta admit.



Be forced to watch trash by your girl brehs.

nah. I helped her set up the chromecast and HBO GO shyt, plus i wanted to see what all the fuss was about - check the show out it's not bad, some funny ass parts in there, but there's some serious negative black male stereotypes displayed.

I watched it, I liked it.


Sounds like you nikkas are just....



.....insecure.


:rudy: cmon now...the show ain't bad, but act like those stereotypes ain't in there.

plus how many sistas with good corporate jobs making decent money are dating nikkas w/no jobs AT ALL?

either this is an exaggerated stereotype, or black women are fukking stupid - both make our women look bad IMO.

indian and asian women won't even look your way if you don't even have a college degree, and black women are out here housing grown ass men w/no jobs!? :camby:

The first lines of Issa Rae’s new memoir, The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, let readers in on a little-known fact: Her full name isn’t Issa Rae. The 30-year-old Senegalese-American writer and actress was born Jo-Issa Rae Diop, the pronunciation of which caused her endless trouble when she was younger.
Meet the Black _________
Her mother, Delyna, is from Louisiana, and her father, Abdoulaye, is from Senegal. They met while studying in France, started a family, then moved around a lot before briefly settling with their five young children in Windsor Hills in the ’80s. Adboulaye, a doctor, was working to build a pediatric clinic in nearby Inglewood. His clinic is still there, on the corner of West Manchester Boulevard and South Seventh Avenue. Rae took me by it as part of her tour, and the building bears his name in 1,000-point font: A. Diop Family Care Medical Group. (Issa Rae’s full name is Jo-Issa Rae Diop.) The family fell into an exceptionally average life, until escalating gang violence unnerved Rae’s mother. She insisted that the family relocate to Senegal, and Rae’s father agreed; living in Africa would also instill his children with discipline and respect for their heritage.

In 1988, they moved to a lavish home, kitted out with a security guard and a maid, in an upscale neighborhood in Dakar — the capital and Abdoulaye’s hometown. Rae’s father tried and failed to open a hospital there, and after about two years, the family moved back to Windsor Hills. Rae’s mother enrolled her in one of the best schools in South Los Angeles, King/Drew Magnet High School of Medicine and Science.

LMAOOO I need to watch this show, because it sounds like pure comedy!

Edit: Watched it. It's actually not bad. It's funny and it's realistic. It does victimize black women while demonizing black men. Like you said the boyfriend is a bum and hasn't progressed in about four years.

It also shows black women's own problems and placing the accountability and responsibility on them.

Seems kind of low budget for a show on HBO though, like a web series on YouTube. That guy from Dormtainment on YouTube is on the show :ehh:

:jbhmm: The only thing they're doing "wrong" is that they're working all the time and focused on their careers

Of course, that's what they all say is kryptonite to black men right?

..So another Dark skinned Black girl can claim to be "awkward" and do the same thing. Create the thing you envy the most :mjlol: and complain about them taking over the natural hair community or whatever concoction of bendwenchery yall participate in. I see you, I believe in you.

Are there any black nerds?

Yeah, he's yet to be shown and these dudes believe that he is engaged to the Asian girl....

I didn't like how the Black women called each other bytch... but I could relate to some of the relashionship, dating, and workplace interactions... It's right in line with the ABG
But she appears to only date Black men on this show....

Y'all (not meaning you but some dudes on the coli) some emotional creatures....

The range of Black men that was presented in the "next episodes" montage was not limiting....

The characterization of Black men as fallible human beings is no different than how the show Ballers presents Black men.

Some good, some bad, some crazy, some with glaring faults.

Good grief coli
