Lol. The misinformation in this thread is laughable. I don't care much for issa rae but how is she solely the child of an African immigrant when her mother is an AFRICAN AMERICAN from LOUISIANA who moved to LA as a child? Issas mother graduated from Dorsey High School, a historically black school, in Los Angeles. How is she removed from AA experience when her mother is AA and raised her? Cats in here talking about what does issa know about Jim Crow and slavery? Lmao quite a bit considering a set of her grandparents did what a lot of West Coast blacks did. Leave the racist violent oppressive south in the 50s and 60s in search of a better life. You dudes pretend to care about black issues but are the most divisive. Ready to discredit or tear someone down even when your facts aren't completely in line with reality. Shame on u and yvette for trumpeting this bullshyt.
This is a short article about the death of Issa's aunt. Her mother, who is mentioned in the article, is named Delyna Hawyard (maiden) Diop is obviously the name she adopted when she married Issa's father. Tell me again about how Issa shouldn't speak on AA issues when she is half AA and grew up from the age of 5 onward in America.

This is from my first post on the youtube this whole thread is based on
This is a discussion that needs to be had, but honestly. Not all black people are in the hood. Do the children of the 6-cert, 6-figures, 36-24-36 couple deserve protection from discrimination too, or are they on their own?
If we're asking questions, does Issa Rae speak for the children of Senegalese bruhs slangin dem handbags in NYC? Can they relate to her show? Do Raven Simone or Basketball Wives speak for African Americans?
Does the one drop really still apply in Los Angeles today?
TAKEAWAY: "The goal is to select a candidate that can be sold to rich(white) donors(TRUTH!).
If the solution is to "demand" stuff from these same cats
how are we going to pull that off?
HBO is a business and Issa Rae is a businesswoman (I hope). I'm not interested in pigeonholing black folk. there's plenty of other people doing that job. Still don't know why there's a reparations joke on that type of show. Really don't care though,but he who lives by sword, ..........Ask Bill Cosby
