Issa Rae's new show is black male bashing propaganda

Ya'll were calling her a bedwench, c00n and making all types of personal judgments based on two damn episodes that had the audacity to show black men struggling to get a job. If ya'll actually stuck with the show you'd realize Insecure has some of the most balanced and positive portrayals of black men ever on mainstream television. In fact, if anyone should complain it should be black women, because the two female leads come across way more flawed than their male counterparts, especially in the most recent episodes. But the female fans of the show understand that it doesn't make you a c00n or sellout to actually show flawed, imperfect black characters who act like actual human beings. It just makes you a good artist.

Shout out to posters like @Ziggiy who initially made their judgments but then came around and realized their assessments were wrong after they stuck with the show. But the rest of ya'll were dead wrong

You have no idea how GLAD I am that I was wrong. We didn't need a black woman of her status shytting on black men and she didn't. I'm a little skeptical of the way they kind of represent the Jared character and the "experimenting sexuality" angle but even that wasn't presented in a manner that I found to be a turn off of the show. It's a very very good show, excellently written and paced, with some very good themes and messages presented that actually make you THINK.
