Every moment is an opportunity
Even if he does owe black women on the whole and apology, there's a whole lot of people that need to apologize in line before Donald.
Lemme guess, the main character had a cac love interest?
Weren't those shows critisized for that? Sounds like he wanted to go the other way, the right way really. I'm tired of shows that try and make me feel bad for pure monsters.

No more PAWGs, PLEASE??!!!??
Main character didn't love anybody but the her favourite singer. She smashed both a white boy and a breh (separately). The breh got locked inside a freezer.

It really is shocking how bad his early music was, I was listening to that shyt in 7th grade, insane that he was 26-27 recording that nonsense.
Nobody owes anyone a fukking apology
These are grown women who want to see a celebrity prostrate himself for their satisfaction, they have no intention of accepting his apology.

Oh wow, black male solidarity.
100% true. He’s a c00n and he’s aware he’s a c00n.Donald has a white baby mama
Mentioned that he liked when white women called him the n-word when he was with them
Whined on twitter about wanting to be white.
Additionally, and even worse than the typical c00ning is dude is actually talented and he wastes it on mid comedy like Atlanta and cheap anti-Black woman shock shows like Swarm.
This interview was him trying to be “artsy” for art’s sake and ended up saying something stupid. “I’m so smart and artistic, I don’t want your character to be layered like every other good character that was ever created. You should be an animal. See, that’s how smart and artistic I am
“This is what happens when Bourgeois Black Twitter and White Ally Twitter gasses up his trash work as some type of abstract masterpiece.
I do think he has some talent, but he’s not what he thinks he is. Neither is his brother for that matter, he f’d up the House Party remake with this same BS
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?

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.”

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.

Layering a character doesn’t mean humanizing them imo, although that’s what those shows did.
How he said it was stupid, but I get what he was going for. The main issue is that it doesn’t seem to make sense to have a character with no layers for a story like this, which is probably why black folks don’t like it
