Here we go: a 🧵

.Let me start with what some of my presuppositions were going into watching #youpeoplenetflix:
A) It’s a comedy and comedies often inherently lack nuance in order to… be funny. So, I knew it would lack most of the gray area needed for any discussion of cross-racial relations.

This season of #Blackish has been particularly exceptional in tackling very complex race issues. Like not Racism 101 stuff. More nuanced. The way only black people can truly write and think. Like Bow becomes partner at the hospital and starts grooming a black woman protege.

We talk all the time, but last night we had a long conversation...

He is so frustrated and I get it. Watching the righteous movement sparked by the murder of George Floyd get hijacked by people who don’t give a shit about the Black community.
