Yeah that’s that white boy in you
Is that a typo when you said "auteur"?
WAYMENT......Ya'll think that show is PRO BLACK???because black people are in it?
ahahahaahahaaa
The main character is a classic king kong caricature....the script is a fukking "c00n alert" CW producers are racist as hell
black people don't talk like they do on that show in real life my whole fam was laughing at the ignorant shyt we thought it was a joke at first
LOL. There are plenty of posters in TLR who think "Atlanta" is a pro-black show just because it has a majority black cast.

No idea, I didn't sticky it. Ain't seen the movie, either.

au·teur
/ōˈtər/
noun
- a filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie are so great that the filmmaker is regarded as the author of the movie.
And Atlanta is definitely about as “pro black” as it gets on mainstream television

You do realize that Mara Brock Akil's Husband, Salim Akil, is the Showrunner & Head Writer of "Black Lightning", right? Mara is only a Exec Producer because she's a big name involved, just like Greg Berlanti.
As far as "Atlanta" being a pro-black show, nah. If "Atlanta" is considered a pro-black show, that any black TV show or film can be labeled pro-black.
All of the major characters on Black Lightning are professional Black people (doctor, school principal, teacher, former politician, detective, etc.). What's wrong with the way that they talk? Should they split their verbs? Should they walk around drinking 40s & sucking on rib bones while their pants are sagging? Should they be more L&HH and less Huxtable like?WAYMENT......Ya'll think that show is PRO BLACK???

Matter of fact, don't worry about it...
@Deacon Frye, I think we got one.

I’m not talking about Black Lightning when I speak on Auteur. I CLEARLY said in my original post that INSECURE is the only show on tv led by a black female auteur which is Issa Rae. She is the creator, writer, executive producer and star.
And if you watched The BAN, Juneteenth, and Teddy Perkins episodes of Atlanta you’ll definitely see the show is pro black. Its not “in your face militant” pro black but its impossible to ignore the themes and messages of those episodes.

What do you guys think about Power, which comes on a Starz? It has a 75% Black audience on a premium cable channel that isn’t **specifically** geared towards black folks. Just an anomaly/cultural zeitgeist? (Really asking, not being sarcastic)
