So I was at the @AtlantaFX Emmy FYC carpet in LA last week, very small, intimate carpet. Instantly I noticed something tho... All the black media was at the end of the carpet. and by ALL i mean literally THREE of us.

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.
