Who was at the beginning of the carpet? Entertainment Tonight, Extra, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, you know... THOSE types. Now, I'm thinking hey, @AtlantaFX is BLACK AF & this carpet is short, we're going to get to talk to all the stars, right? WRONG!

Because do you know what their VERY WHITE publicists did before the carpet started? They walked up and down that carpet turning their nose up at every black media outlet. Some not even speaking to black media at all.

Now I'm no guru but something tells me that
@AtlantaFX's target audience are black millennials. Now black millennials on my TL, do you guys go to@Variety and@THR for your tea on ATLANTA? I can speak for myself when i say I DO NOT.Show this thread -
Black millenials, do you watch
@extratv or@etnow for your tea on@AtlantaFX? I can speak for myself when i say, I DO NOT.Show this thread -
Have you ever seen
@extratv@etnow@THR or@Variety live tweet@AtlantaFX when we are watching as a#BlackTwitter family? I can't say that EYE have...

However, for some reason the WHITE AF publicists of
@donaldglover Zazie Beets &@lakeithlakeith decided that black media wasn't worthy enough of speaking to their clients. Instead, after they spoke to white media, they rushed their clients off like the red carpet was on fire.Show this thread -
Now had this been the carpet for...idk... "Entourage" or some shit, okay, I get it. But
@AtlantaFX? A show based in the BLACKEST city in America, geared towards BLACK millennials, with an all BLACK cast and they cant speak to BLACK MEDIA & our BLACK audience?Show this thread -
Black people are literally the reason this show exists because I can guarantee you, the % of white people watching
@AtlantaFX is low AF, but you mean to tell me that black media and our black audience isn't good enough to speak to?Show this thread -
And I don't put it entirely on the celebrity because
@donaldglover really looked empathetic when he was being whisked away and@lakeithlakeith did as well. However they COULD have also told their PR to kiss their ass when they realized only black media was being neglected.Show this thread -
Brian Tyree Henry's publicist heard us bitching about the disrespect so he made sure to have his client stop and talk to every single one of us.

But it also goes to show that celebs like
@donaldglover and@lakeithlakeith need to hire BLACK publicists and keep BLACK people on their team so that shit like this doesn't happen and make THEM look bad. I know the difference but the next person may not.Show this thread -
because it's OUR black asses that hype up "This Is America" & OUR black asses they hype up "Get Out" & most definitely without a doubt our black asses that got
@AtlantaFX to season 3. Stop having these white publicists have u looking like Uncle Toms@donaldglover@lakeithlakeithShow this thread -
and the WILD thing about all of this is, before the premiere of
@AtlantaFX season 1, I interviewed@donaldglover, Zazie,@lakeithlakeith and Bryan Tyree Henry on the red carpet as part of black media. No problems. It seems we're good enough til you're poppin.Show this thread -
But now they gave white media with NO CAMERAS 10 minute interviews on the red carpet but the 3 BLACK media outlets on the carpet couldnt even get 2 minutes a piece. They love to use the hell out of black folks but give us nothing in return.

After being pulled away, the cast came back to take a group photo. This is the publicist pulling Donald away to make sure he doesn’t get roped into doing anymore interviews. They had time to return for pics but not 10 mins to do 3 more interviews.pic.twitter.com/5xIwRugU6u

Back to the 1st time the PR snatched Donald away, he gave us an “im so sorry” face as she was pulling him across the carpet to go inside. Now, my son is a HUGE Childish Gambino fan. He worships him. He put me on all his music. I was able to yell across the carpet & Get thispic.twitter.com/Eh3axaFNk3

So he was gracious enough to give me that however, the whole time we were doing this, you could’ve just given me an interview. He was literally standing there and no rush when I called him. And at the end of the video u can see that same publcist guiding him inside.

So in the time it took Donald Glover’s publicist to pull him away, have him sit outside and talk for a few mins, make a video for me, go inside, come back outside and take a pic... she could have allowed him to interview with the 3 remaining (black) outlets on the carpet.
