This is the most terrible thing that I have read this entire season. The layers of contempt masquerading as appreciation of "humor?" Wow...pic.twitter.com/b9ABXDIGiD

Are people going to stop comparing a career chosen in a capitalist system is the same as BEING Black? (Even BHO does this...)pic.twitter.com/mDHQQZeLDZ
Why? But why tho? Why "thank goodness" for this? Why is this considered new, creative or smart? Being offensive isn't a skill set.pic.twitter.com/VW0JGG4Kub

I literally do not care if this is supposed to be "satire." I don't understand why 'punching down' is still deemed creativity.pic.twitter.com/mnP9aPUOaS

It's "funny" to pretend you're suddenly Black & engage in 1-dimensional stereotypes because Black people "overthink" our real lives/race?pic.twitter.com/CKD199Z2Ec

You know what's actually brilliant?
#QueenSugar. THAT is brilliant. This nonsense I just read on#ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia is not. -
And yes I saw that the author is Black. A White supremacist society that impacts/shapes media doesn't skip over impacting Black ppl.
-
Also? Um...Zora was super clear about that whole skinfolk don't mean kinfolk thang so...
-
This author can go hang out with Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels as far as "I don't wanna hear your opinions on race like ever again."
-
In fact I suspect TV Guide specifically wanted a Black author lmao. Just like The Nation had an Asian writer insult Black content creators.
-
A form of 'entertainment' in the White Gaze is having PoC tear PoC down so that individual behavior obscures structural White supremacy.
-
This is so infuriating and disgusting. And lemme be clear again, I DO NOT GIVE A DAMN if you like this show or think it's satire.
-
Like...don't forget who runs Cinemacked lmao. If you feel the need to defend this article, please go ahead and unfollow. I'm good.
-
Anyway that was very upsetting. I know I usually focus on enjoyable media here. I'm definitely about supporting what's good....
-
...but that was outrageous and yes I had to say something here, specifically. That episode set up and that article are NOT OKAY. Fin.
-
One more thing...this is infuriating. How does the author understand racist satire that "punches" down but not nuance from Chapelle/Wayans?pic.twitter.com/sAajpJJh8t
-
You have no business critiquing satire or media if you genuinely think Chappelle Show or Wayans projects are about desiring to be White.
-
If you think the White Girls = "oh look BM/Black ppl desire to be White after all" then I cannot trust anything you say about media, ever.
-
You *really* think the Klan skit on Chappelle Show is about Black ppl coveting Whiteness? LMFAO. Hahahaha.
-
That writer also false equates oppressed ppl "punching up"--with limited media access compared to Whites--as the same as racist satire.
-
This type of analysis is flawed and dangerous on multiple levels. Beyond just entertainment. I really could get into this but I'm done.

-
I wish I could get into the show, but I just can't stand how awful the characters are. I know that's the point...
-
yep. 4 'friends' with no redeeming qualities. Certainly not for everyone but I love it
