I think Issa would agree with you
That's one of the main points of the show, how these characters who on the surface have their shyt together fukk up their own personal situations through self-sabotage and their own insecurities.
As much as the show is about the black middle class it's also showing the flaws of the black middle class, particularly black women, which speaks to my original point about Insecure being way harder on black women then black men, which is why I found the coli's criticism ridiculous.
It sounds like you have more of an issue with the typical middle class black millennial than you do with the show because the show does its job as far as showing an accurate representation of them.
Your criticisms seem to be more with who the show represents than the actual show itself.
Your assessment of Atlanta is on point, not gonna argue with that
Most Black shows are way harder on Black women...but I don't think Black women sees it as criticism...for them it's drama and fukkery.
Insecure is different though because Black men are treated like shyt for the most part on that show, they are emasculated.
My problem with Insecure and Being Mary Jane is this weird pretentiousness that I am beginning to see as part of the American Black Woman's and Black Middle Class worldview...is that life is nothing but a checkbox...with self-fulfilling tropes...it shows up in these Black women created Black middle class shows...
This representation respectability politics...combined with the unnecessary fukkery...
I am worried that we as Black people get high off drama and being respectable...
That we don't care to understand each other or critique anything we do in an intelligent way...
Cause like...how many of these "nikkas can't get their shyt together...with their romantic life..." do we need?
We created an entire media infrastructure based off of failed romance bullshyt...
And this idealization of Black men being some gateway to a happy life...like what the fukk?
I am starting to think we can't see ourselves as normal. That's why shows like Being Mary Jane and Insecure are dangerous...it denies normalcy. It gives its characters nicer lives than the average Black person but the main characters are fukked up on a scale of 1 to 10, probably a 12. Then the main focus in the show is Black women's idealization of Black men to a path of a happy life...Black people especially Black women are made pathological.
Atlanta is probably the most healthy representation of Black people created by Black people...
