The crazy thing is Donald Glover has directly helped launch several BLACK WOMEN’S careers.

He’s the FIRST ever tv show-runner to assemble an all black writers room, including a black woman named Stefani Robinson, who went on to sign her own production deal with FX and has had tremendous success


He hired a black woman, Sherrie Silver, an at the time unknown Rwandan dancer, to choreograph the video for his biggest song, This Is America. She also appeared in the video and on Saturday Night Live with him and choreographed and appeared in his film Guava Island. She went onto win the VMA for Best Choreography for her work in the video


First project he did when he signed his massive deal with Amazon was hire a black woman, Janine Nabers, to co-create, write, and serve as showrunner on Swarm. Swarm is Janine Nabers creative vision much more than it is Glover’s. She wrote the story outline, co-wrote the pilot, and wrote or co-wrote three more of the season’s 7 episodes. A black woman, Adamma Ebo, directed three episodes of the series. Kara Brown, Karen Joseph Adcock, and Malia Obama are all also credited writers on the series.

Black women literally shaped the characterization, themes, plot, and execution of this series.



From left to right. Adamma Ebo (Director 3 episodes) Kara Brown (co-writer 1 episode) Malia Obama (co-writer 1 episode) Janine Nabers (Co-creator, Showrunner, writer 1 episode, co-writer 4 episodes) Donald Glover (Co-creator, executive producer, co-writer 1 episode, director 1 episode) Stephen Glover (co-writer 2 episodes, director 1 episode) Karen Joseph Adcock (co-writer 1 episode) Jamal Olori (co-writer 1 episode)


I fail to see how Donald Glover “Hates” black women if he’s using his status in the industry to continually put them in positions they wouldn’t otherwise have been included. Isn’t that what black men are SUPPOSED to do? Look out for our own and help build them up?
The same thing can be said for several racist white people. That doesn’t give them a pass to criticize black people. I just think it’s interesting that the Coli will defend criminals just because they’re black, yet criticize so called c00ns (hate that word) and black men who criticize black women.

Pretty sure his paper longer than Michael B Jordan
It probably should be but I really doubt it, especially off the strength of Creed 3.

His pay for acting plus directing it means he's probably got a great deal for a percentage of the overall gross and this ish is looking like the biggest sports film ever.

Find me a white person who hired an ENTIRE creative team of black people to do anything in a creative space and then used they’re platform to put black women in CHARGE of that creative space.


Find me ONE example

I mean….Modern black women are on some other shyt, so if you already married and have no reason to play along and put up with, why would you. :skip:

Glover probably feels like that and keeps lettin his true feelings slip out :lolbron:
My wife hate these hoes more than Coli nikkas do and I’m sure most good women do

Theyre just the silent majority who don’t have time or energy for social media

Pay these children no mind

Most of them don’t even want to reproduce so they will just return to dust and the world will move on unbothered praise God

A white person isn’t going to put an entire team of anything but their own on. But even Trump had black people on his cabinet.

If Donald is creating a black show, about a black woman, of course he needs a black team. Plus, he knows if the team was white, black women wouldn’t tune in as much. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t hate black women. The black female team is helping him make money, not be his friends and lovers. I’m just sick of the hypocrisy of bashing black women for dating non black men, and encouraging the opposite from black men. He openly bashed black women. That makes others feel justified. I don’t believe in publicly bashing your own people. That should happen behind closed doors.
