And most of people who valued those things back when you were a kid....look at where they are now
To me, I saw it as:
Earn goes to Al when he needs to be bailed out of something
Al looks out for him out of duty, he's family, that's what family does
Earn and Al don't speak until halfway through the episode. Earn seeks him out, Al goes
"You see DBZ last night?" and Earn goes into how he needs his help because people might start picking on him.First episode of the series, off the top of my head, I don't think Earn and Al meet until like the middle of the episode when Earn finds out he's got some buzz. He doesn't even know where he lives, has to go to his parent's house to find out. Al gives him the "I ain't seen you since my mama funeral and now you wanna piece of Paperboi
"More exaggerations and denigration of the black community while low key propping up white society. Just about tired of this
That's the only part I didn't like. The insinuation that materialism isn't as big in white society.

But some of you muthafukkas need to realize some of the biggest haters of black folks are other black folks!
Black Panthers some how survived the cops and Hoover but were ultimately taken down by one of their own.

Now that I think back I was friends with a lot of dudes where all they did in school was play basketball and that was it. They would hoop during their gym class then would skip their other classes to be in the gym to hoop some more.Then roast people at Lunch then head out the back door and left school early
Yea I kept wondering why Earn never just left school early instead of being terrified every before class
Back in highschool If I was ever having a bad day I just left out the back door or at least jumped the fence during by the track during gym class
If I didn’t wanna be there I was GONE

Going to an all black middle school and high school this episode was 100% realistic (minus the suicide). The pressures to look fly was real. Getting caught in fake gear would get you clowned. Our mindset was embarrassing looking back at it.
Earn was an excellent student, he wasn't gonna ditch class.Yea I kept wondering why Earn never just left school early instead of being terrified every before class

I'm talking about making fun of each other. You took it to that next level. You from The Bronx, I'm from Brooklyn. What being black shyt are you talking about?
nah i wasnt gettin at you.
im just saying. when youre black in this country is just a foreal wild experience. especially if youre in the hood.
you gotta understand...
i came from Kingston, Jamaica to the South Bronx!
its almost a miracle i didnt lose my mind.
we should be getting disability pay just for being black in this bytch.
I have never seen anyone clowned by an entire school for an entire day for a fake shirt. The premise itself was dumb; two kids have the same shirt so one has to be fake? Never saw that before in my life. There is nothing wrong with looking presentable and getting fly, so I wouldn’t call the mind set embarrassing. And we are far from the only culture who acts that way.
Beyond that, the white kid saying “oh I had this on a few times this week and no one cared” is another underhanded slight to black folks. Along with another slight to black women acting like they’re materialistic, as if any middle school girl has any real depth to them or know what they like.
The past few episodes really shows me Donald Glover kind of hates being black
Exactly. Even last week when he showed a black party turning into a huge fight, but the white party was everyone having a good time and being a little gay. It’s corny.

Black kids don't commit suicide over shyt like that. Maybe a white kid.
