Why does Donald Glover sometimes get heat for being with a white woman, but Jordan Peele doesnt?

[RamsayBolton]

To preface, I don't think it's really worth trying to dikk police anyone. It's their personal lives, and most people IRL won't give a damn. But this the type of shyt that gets brought up online so

These two are both in similar lanes where they're obviously worried about bringing attention to black issues and are very popular in entertainment. I just don't get why Glover sometimes gets criticized for his choice of partner while I've never seen it done to Peele.

Because Jordan is white.

Peele isn’t handsome.

 

[Rn.]

nobody with self respect cares about either

 

[Max Power]

One of them has a white mother.

I'll let you process which one it is through your simple mind.

Donald put the heat on myself when he did those interviews about black women not liking him cause he corny.

 

[Kuma the Bear]

Peele is half-white.

Jordan Peele is biracial. His mother is white and his black father unfortunately abandoned him when he was like 3. He didn’t even have any idea his father passed away until like 5 years after he died. He was raised in a majority white environment surrounded by majority white family and friends.


Donald Glover grew up in a two parent BLACK household in Stone Mountain, Ga. Donald has often spoken about the racism he received from whites both growing up and when he entered the entertainment industry. He literally is quoted as saying that half his career trajectory came from making white people comfortable with him.

That level of awareness of the savagery of white supremacy bleeds through in almost every episode of Atlanta, which he created, wrote, and directed. For someone as attuned to the culture of American blackness, its history, as well as white people’s position in denigrating, exploiting, and brutalizing it; it is nothing but understandable that some would look at Donald Glover funny or be outright disappointed that he would choose a white partner given how much he’s dedicated his career to exposing ignorance, hatred, and revulsion of blackness.


Of the new generation of quote unquote “Woke” auteurs who have experienced major levels of success, the only one who really walked the walk when it comes to choosing a black partner to marry is Issa Rae. Even Jerrod Carmichael, who is gay, has publicly stated he prefers dating white men and gets angry when called out on it.


I think both Peele and especially Donald are creative geniuses. Donald Glover is hands down the BEST writer, regardless of race, working today.

But a spade is a spade

If you have a white mother, it’s nothing out of the ordinary to choose a white wife. There is nothing wrong with that

Only one who bucked the trend is J.Cole
