Let’s talk about Atlanta’s last episode. It’s rich that Donald Glover, who has openly expressed how he doesn’t like black women, shows an angry black woman lashing at a white woman in a interracial relationship.
It perpetuates all the negative stereotypes of the angry black (esp dark skin) woman attacking a poor white woman who is obviously the « victim » in this situation (as all she did was holding her man down til he became famous).
Is it how black men in interracial relationships (Glover included) see us? A bunch of harpies who are jealous of them dating out and attack them for no reason? That’s misogynoir at its finest.
Black women are not mad you’re playing in the snow. They just don’t like you throwing us under the bus to justify your « preferences » often rooted in self hate.
It’s also telling that the only woman character who has any kind of personality and development is lightskin and biracial Val. It shows how Glover sees black women, esp of a darker complexion, as non entities at best, or has hysterical drama queens at worst.
As someone who has dated interracially (and believe me where I’m from- Europe, that’s almost the norm) I would never, ever justify dating others by throwing black men/women under the bus. Never.
It shows that for black women and for queer blacl people, #AtlantaFX laughs at us, not with us.
