Like i said wait till season two... she playing chess. Next year she'll be doing interviews saying, "i'm tackling the interracial dating problem many Black women go through"..
I can read her mind... "oh my god, i'm swirling. I don't mind the smell. I love dogs. Black Girl Magic. Intersectionality."
I'm not easily fooled like the rest of you nikkas. Remember this post.
exactly
there's a reason black women loved her youtube series so much
be prepared, nikkas.
So we going to ignore thisYall not fooling me... Look at the glee on her face.

This place is crazy....filled with agents and CACs
This show is good...support black shows
i really like the show. every episode has some laugh out loud type shyt. The fat friend is fukkin hilarious, low key show stealer.
A really good depiction of young minority professionals and the subtle clowning of white people and there ignorance. I know i work for a non-profit that the helps inner city community rise above poverty, and white people act just like that round here.

Cats are so feminineashy can't you just appreciate the show for what it is? Cats aren't wrong for their criticisms of the first couple of episodes the same way that you aren't wrong for acknowledging that the show has picked up from the first two episodes. There's no denying that the first couple of episodes pushed narratives that are commonly used to negatively generalize black men. Now the show has picked up and become much less predictable since those first couple episodes. Nobody owes an apology for commenting on what they saw tho. Now if cats were refusing to acknowledge that the show has approved then you'd be justified in your sassy bytching.
The truth of the matter is that the portrayal of black women on the show in the last couple of eps is almost as problematic as the portrayal of black men in the first couple of eps. The two main black woman characters are both bytches who really aren't that likeable. Seems like a show by and for black women should have better female characters representing them.
I like shows about flawed characters, I just find it more interesting to watch. If Atlanta and Insecure had characters who were perfect and represented black life in the best, possible way I'd find both of them boring as hell. Yes, Issa and Molly are headcases but they have a depth, realness and humanity to them that you won't see in a Tyler Perry movie where all the characters are badly written black and white caricatures. Truth is there are a lot of black women like the ones in Insecure who have the same views on relationships/black men etc. I don't think the show was trying to push that as an agenda or narrative, just showing it for what it was. If we're gonna praise a film like Boyz or Menace or a TV show like Atlanta for showing a certain situation/mindset for what it is and not attacking the creator for it, why not do the same for Insecure, as long as its quality art?
Black artists seem to have this pressure placed on them where they can't just be artists showing interesting but flawed people but they have to somehow represent black life in the best possible way or risk being deemed a sellout/c00n/etc, even if it compromises the art. I mean, I get it, they don't have the privilege of white artists who can tell stories that are viewed as just individual stories, not the definitive "white" experience. But when it comes to black art I'd rather the focus be on quality rather than preachy didacticism. As @Piff Perkins mentioned, the black experience is way too diverse and vast for us to limit black art like that

["Busted_Toes, post: 21971117, member: 13777"]Like i said wait till season two... she playing chess. Next year she'll be doing interviews saying, "i'm tackling the interracial dating problem many Black women go through"..
I can read her mind... "oh my god, i'm swirling. I don't mind the smell. I love dogs. Black Girl Magic. Intersectionality."

Yea negroes so easily swayed
Shows have focus groups and meetings to survey the public on how they feel about the show. In today's climate, you can totally alienate your black audience if you go the route the show likely was planning to go. You see a show like Luke cage and how disappointed that crowd was when they found out the star of Luke cage was married to a white women, they see the climate change and in order to keep the audience they likely playing it safe.
Rest assure tho, once they draw the numbers in, the bed wench c00n brigade will come out. It's inevitable. Can't blame posters who have seen this kind of story too often for assuming this is the route it's going.
Most black shows take the same roller coaster route, jeffersons, George starts off calling white people hunkeys and their child zebra, by the end of the series Tom his best friend
Good times , Michael starts off the militant midget, by the end of the show he a clowning fake playboy like his brother JJ.
You have all these shows on tv now, dealing with the plight of police abuse and misconduct shooting unarmed civilians later on it's all about tolerance smh
