>When multihypenate Donald Glover first developed his upcoming FX show "Atlanta," the network's enthusiastic support occasionally exposed their ignorance about life for some in Black communities.
>As Glover told writer Rembert Browne for Vulture (the story also appears in New York Magazine's new print issue), FX initially suggested that a drug dealer character live in "traplike" apartment. "We were like, 'No, he's a drug dealer, he makes enough money to live in a regular apartment,'" Glover said to Vulture. "There were some things so subtle and Black that people had no idea what we were talking about."
>Glover aims to shine a light on those contextual differences with the surrealist comedy-drama, which premieres on September 6. "I wanted to show White people, you don't know everything about Black culture," he said. To that end, Glover employed an entirely-Black writing staff, featuring primarily Atlanta natives like Glover and his brother Stephen.
>His goals with "Atlanta" also reflect the criticism Glover received for years over his popularity in White cultural spaces. "I know when I go to Baltimore, when I go to D.C., it's like 50-50—half of them are like, 'I love this dude, this dude's cool.' And the other half are like, 'This coon-ass dude,'" he said. "But I have no hate in my heart for no Black person ever. Because we're in a position where the system has fucked us up so bad we can't always trust each other."
>Glover created and stars in "Atlanta" as "Earnest 'Earn' Marks," while Bryan Tyree Henry ("Boardwalk Empire") portrays his cousin, "Alfred Miles." The series focuses on Miles' burgeoning celebrity as the rapper Paper Boi and, as Vulture describes, "Earn's ever-evolving balancing act between his origins and a life often spent in predominantly White settings."
Man you kikes must be terrified. Sliding like crazy today.

I want him to specifically point out what everyone else doesn't know about black culture

Confirmed for never having met a drug dealer
They're in the trap house 24/7, it's literally their income and custies come a-knockin' every hour. Unless this "drug dealer" is some kid that sells weed who happens to be black, this is just sheltered black nigga stories: the show
Thomas Scott

THEN GIVE EVIDENCE OF POLICIES AND LAWS IN THE SYSTEM THAT OPPRESS BLACK PEOPLE, REEEEEE
This is why I hate famous people, they talk about shit they know nothing about
Cameron Jackson
He got his first gig from Tina Fey on 30 Rock actually. So if it weren't for a liberal white woman giving him an AA hire he wouldn't be shit.
Ethan Fisher
>Black culture No such thing.

Donald Glover is more white then black, the black community does not see him as black.

Jayden Reyes

The whole script is basically like this:
Dindu 1: So you be seyin' we wuz slaves?

Xavier Collins

Angel Cooper
I have literally no problem with black people writing black characters for a black audience and neither should anyone else.
However if some white dudes wanted to do the same thing, I'm sure there would be terminal butthurt.

We know that all this drama and whining in the west is too exhausting to listen to anymore so we fortunately get distracted by cooler spectacles.
The problem is that it even exists at all I can't wait for it to tank and this coon to screech about muh racist whities not watching his kike funded bullshit
Charles Jenkins

Lol the guy is racist.
Christopher Williams
What culture?
Leo Hill
>Atlanta >Atlantis This is no coincidence
Jose Lopez
Black people trying to create a culture that isn't OGA BOGA and this somehow triggers you?
Sometimes I wonder lads, you cry about too many black people in your movies and shows, but when they make their own you're offended?
Wew.
Alexander Nguyen
Literally nothing wrong with this.
A show about black people being made by black people.
Literally what flaw can pol find other than 'lol black people'? Especially when pol always is rambling about sending them back to africa.
A show about black people set in a (now) notoriously black city written by black people makes sense to me.
Only thing id find annoying is the double standard if say we did, Random Ass Southern Town.
Dylan Cox
Most of Sup Forums is more nigger than Donald Glover.

black culture = thug culture
Camden Morgan
Not a bad idea, if it's executed well, I'll tune in. Some of ya'll get triggered v easily - even for a bunch mentally ill Spenglerites on a Malaysian basket-weaving forum.
Chase Young
Is it possible to sue for discrimination if you are a non-nigger race? Like could an Hispanic, Asian, white, etc. sue the nigger for discrimination if they applied previously?
Andrew Foster
Dude, that is black culture. They're proud of it. Drug dealing isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's the violence that ruins lives
Daniel Young
>White people, you don't know everything about Black culture We know enough.
Wyatt Young
>"But I have no hate in my heart for no Black person ever. Because we're in a position where the system has fucked us up so bad we can't always trust each other."
Always interesting to see that black people have absolutely no problem to assert themselves along racial differences.
Jose Perry
He makes it sound like all blacks are of a hive mind and all share the same experiences.
Nicholas Diaz
Wait, some nigger is making a show I'll never watch and it's being written by a bunch of niggers? Makes me think.
Nicholas Myers
>However if some white dudes wanted to do the same thing, I'm sure there would be terminal butthurt.
That's 90% of TV dumbass
Jaxon Long
Honestly I'm okay with this. White writers and black writers shouldn't be writing together.
Noah Garcia
I have no problem with this. He isn't wrong, and black people need to control their own media outlets, same as whites. Or would you rather have an all jewish writing staff.
Brody Martinez
Post plot lines for my new, all-white written show to showcase subtle aspects of white culture that black people don't understand. >A white guy is pulled over. He keeps his mouth shut and does as he's told and, remarkably, a few minutes later he is free to go rather than handcuffed on the pavement.
Isaiah Bailey
I swear to god I'm gonna blow my fucking brains out if I see anymore of these "niggers superior race" horseshit.
As an Asian, I understand that without the white Europeans, I'd be fucked.
Nolan Hill
This is literally what everyone has wanted. Now they'll stop bitching and white entertainers can stop shitting in their product by pandering to negroes.
i might have written that poorly- tldr:
>non whites complain about "white washing", "#oscarssowhite", and white culture in general, ect.
>one mulatto recognizes the reality of freedom and creates entertainment based on his own specific culture
most negroes are inept, but trust me, just bleach them a bit and their iq kicks up.
Cooper Perez
Good idea, we should create a jew free hollywood.
Ian Stewart
Its because they create this "us vs them" mentality drawn by racial lines. Yes, its ironic as fuck.
Jose Cooper
>A white man divorces his wife, but works hard to cover the child care costs. He is not hounded by the Law because he's doing what he should.
Benjamin Sanders
There's not much going on, it's just a talking point they and most people are taught all their life. "Girls, watch out, because men are trying to fuck you over and you need to hate them first, the system is rigged against you" or "Black men, watch out, whites are out to get you and the system is rigged against you, hate them first". Even "white men, watch out, everyone else is trying to fuck you, they are rigging the system against you, get them"
It's some victim culture, most people are taught that the other guy is going to destroy you, so you have to strike first. It's like we're being pit against each other as well by the media.
Everyone is taught that some other group is about to fuck them, and the system hates them. I think "most" real issues were solved some decades back, but people are for some reason are more mad and trying to fight against perceived wrongs that don't have to do with anyone than ever. Has something to do with what people are taught in schools these days perhaps.
Carson Diaz
>getting divorced and cucked is white culture
Michael Stewart

I would be surprised if 100,000 people ever watch an entire episode of this show
Noah Lopez
are they burning faggots?
Nolan Carter
DonGlover is a brilliant comedian and I hope this works out for him. And while I don't have problems personally with an all black writing staff like some SJW, I can't help but think he also needs a white dude. I'm just afraid the show might turn out like a Tyler Perry production
Jackson Bennett
Yes.
Cooper Flores
What's wrong with Tyler Petty again?

Are you claiming to be 150 years old?
I bet your ancestors aren't even southern.

When this shit gets cancelled for being terrible they'll blame white people for it.
Joseph Campbell
>I bet your ancestors aren't even southern. My ancestors came to south carolina in 1735. North Carolina in the late 1600s, Virginia in late 1600s and founded Staunton Virginia. My whole family (not a cherry picked line) is from the south with the exception of my Norwegian and German parts who immigrated in the mid to late 1800s.
Fuck off with your 'real southerner' bullshit.
From Marietta to Atlanta and from Atlanta to Savannah basically everything got burned, raped and stolen. Then when the war ended the rich people left (northerners and loyalists) bought basically all land for cheap or took it, increased rent and prices for foodstuffs. Basically if you weren't a carpetbagger or a supporter of the US during the war you probably weren't going to thrive.

Ayden Harris
Why is nobody talking about the fact that the poster looks autistic as fuck? Seriously, try to come up in your head with a more autistic poster then this. Also here is a trailer, spoiler alert its boring. And trailers are usually just cuts of the best moments of the show. These are the best moments of the 10 episode show: youtu.be/MpEdJ-mmTlY
Logan Richardson
That song in the trailer is made and voiced by a white male.
Joseph Price
Good for him. Seriously, who cares? If you don't like it don't watch it.
Caleb Miller
the idea that blacks are ostracized by the piers for their success is a myth. Black students who do well in school are more popular with their piers than White students are.
Grayson Young
>Confirmed for never having met a drug dealer If anything most drug dealers don't make enough to afford a regular apartment. The average dealer makes minimum wage from it
The fact that its so abstract means that the writers have nothing to say. They just cut togethet meaningless scenes. I bet all my shekels on this show being unwatchable.
Aaron King

Not too surprising when Donald is a rapper himself

I like how he's not black the second he's more successful than you.
