Why is no one is actually telling what she said in the video? Since they suffered through it for the secret wisdom, they ain't sharin?
:mjcry:
LOL FOH
:mjlol:
CLIFF NOTES
:mjgrin:

Issa Rae's parents are doctors or some shyt, she was raised very differently from the average African American but somehow she's being used to represent the African American experience, she makes a mockery of reparations on her show and says racism in Hollywood will disappear when old executives die, imagine if Black activists during Jim Crow said "let's just sit and wait for white people to die off", she has a very passive way of seeing things and it's a problem cause it implies you don't need to take counteraction, she keeps talking about being an Awkward Black Chick as if that's a main problem in the African American community meanwhile most Black people in L.A. got a net worth of two hundred dollars, she wasn't chosen/elected/selected by African Americans to represent the community so she needs to stop and do her.

Kamala Harris is some sheisty prosecutor getting Black men locked up turning a blind eye to corruption but she's using her Black Jamaican heritage to try to get the African American vote even though her own Indian aunt said she is what she is because of her Indian mother so she also needs to stop acting as a representative of the African American community and just call herself Indian, she portrays herself as someone who's taking on power even though she is power herself and obviously won't do shyt for Black people, she also said the problem Black women have is they need job training but it's mad studies that say job training won't do shyt for poor people, bottom line African Americans need redistribution of wealth period point blank, meanwhile Maxine Waters is actually out here trying to improve conditions for Black people taking on corrupt cacs but people clown her and prefer someone like Kamala who not only doesn't have any African American ancestry whatsoever but also came up under and lays in bed with banker cacs.

Mentions of Obama living off inheritance money from his white relatives and how he also did not come up under the people he supposedly represents, getting married to Michelle as a sham to portray himself as someone who's grounded in the African American community.

There's more to it but that's all I remember. I didn't wait for the phone calls either. :yeshrug:

Issa Rae actually goes out of her way not to speak for or be an example of black people in general in interviews. One of the things she speaks about that makes her an awkward black girl is the fact that her parents are immigrants and never really fitting in. Not "black" enough for black kids, not "white" enough for white kids, too Americanized when visiting Africa, and too African in America.

She is an awkward black girl, not an example of all awkward black girls. She subverts the trope of the confident, strong and sassy black woman and shows that we can be flawed and vulnerable and that everyone is basically out here still trying to figure out their lives. No one really has it all figured out.

Issa Rae might be an example of an awkward black girl but she is not an example of any AA girl. That is what Carnell was getting at.

White folks have and will continue to use Black immigrants to delegitimize certain AA claims and to skew the realities of the AA condition hence her mentioning Issa Rae.
