All the new age weirdo nikkaz. Acting like awkward ass cacs. Not even so much what they’re into so much as them adopting traditionally white traits.
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
What We Do in the Shadows and Atlanta’s Stefani Robinson Knows Vampires, Barbershops, and Everything In-Between
Writing for two wildly different shows—and getting Emmy nominations for both—requires some mental gymnastics: “I always say that I feel like they exercise very different muscles in my brain.”www.vanityfair.com
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
5 Things You Should Know About Sherrie Silver, The Choreographer Behind 'This Is America'
Aside from choreographing "This Is America," though, Silver is an accomplished creative entrepreneur, and her journey began far before this video dropped.www.forbes.com
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.

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?
In 2023, It's very hard for people to navigate the fact that you can have internal bias and still work w/ people you have those against. It's very easy if they are also on the same shyt.
come on y'all, you smarter than this. Lena Waithe on this same shyt too.
When?
Are black women above criticism? They can criticize black men all day and simps like you say nothing.He openly criticized black women. That’s why they don’t like him.

Amazing isn’t it? Chris Brown beat the dog shyt out of a black woman (who subsequently took him back), disses dark skinned women, is a baby daddy to multiple biracial/Asian women, and yet he still has scores of black female fans.Donald Glover gets more hate from black women than the rappers who beat them or leave them single moms or make them feel like they're ugly
This is why I don’t take these bloggers or whatever seriously. The selective outrage just exposes the hypocrisy. And I’m not even a fan of Donald Glover. He’s overrated, pretentious and undoubtedly a c00n, but not for the reasons the author presented.
Michael B Jordan gets crucified for standing next to a white woman, but if he had multiple black baby mamas, he wouldn’t be under such scrutiny.
The dysfunction in our “community” is depressing.

Atlanta is good, but critics and his stans think everything on earth has to be super duper deep.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
There's an entire episode that focuses on diving into her background, gives her humanity, and makes you feel like she really had no chance.
This is just one scene where you have someone go
when its apparent they want her to be portrayed as some monster. And to add to it, it's the black woman detective that's trying to figure out who she is, questions how would her life have played out if she grew up like Fishback's character, or how would Fishback be if she grew up somewhere stable.
This is also the sole episode where Fishback does not appear.
And the show is a satire of a lot of things, including serial killer shows.

It's shocking how many still haven't wrapped their heads around the concept of it literally being a dramitization of ep 6.
