Not necessarily Lou Kayge (althought, you are correct in that they are half sisters),however, my family is like that whereas we range in complexions from very dark to very light (same parents). Ironically, my oldest brother has 2 daughters with his wife that would remind you of Ruby Baptiste (the older sister) and Leti Lewis (Jurnee Smollett). Genetics in the black community are truly a roll of the dice when it comes to complexions.

Leti and Ruby have different last names. Ruby and Marvin both have the last name Baptiste. Thus, maybe the daddies are different.

you know what got me about the bus breakdown?

I HONESTLY think there was a LARGE segment of the viewing audience that REALLY could NOT foresee that they would end up walking.

I mean after DECADES and DECADES learning about Rosa Parks and MLK?

I STILL think there are those who see it through a rose colored whitewashed sanitized lens

(maybe even some BLACK viewers had HOPE?)

WE KNEW they were NOT getting in that pick up

and salute to the actor playing the truck driver

man oh man

its aint easy to play racist without saying a WORD

you SAW his face and KNEW

and I LOVED how PROTECTIVE the brother was...

watching the sister, seeing what she was going to do, how they LEFT her to get her OWN bags and how he was so SMART

he KNEW he had to PLAY this situation JUST right as to NOT raise a ruckus...

(which is INTERESTING because a little LATER we see he is already TIRED of the bullsh*t)

and the SMART direction and editing to just CUT to them WALKING with the bags

No explanation needed.

so basically telling the WHITE audience..

THIS is the REALITY

You KNEW this was going to happen

NO NEED for the afternoon special bullsh*t

we not gonna go do some type of segregation porn right NOW.

This was EVERY DAY

and UNDERSTAND how that effects a people.

when this is the DEFAULT.

How about them knowing about the history of the white house giving them a head start?

I've only seen the 1st episode early but so far I have NOT seen this before

READING!!!

something these white folks KILLED us for

and at a time

through music and media was NOT encouraged in us

is what is saving THEM!

The sheriff and deputies are local boys, right? How come they don’t know about not going into those woods?

I would say that might have been a special event. Probably not something that happened before not to mention they're trained and on command leaving by a whistle blown.

When Atticus, Uncle George and Letitia fucking Lewis were speeding away from the racist White men in the truck, the Rolls Royce got in between them.

Shortly thereafter, the Rolls caused the truck to wreck.

Now initially I thought the truck hit the Rolls, but they cut to a shot on the side and the truck flipped a good 3 feet from the Rolls Royce.

Was that poor editing or intentional? The shot from head on it looked like they collided. Why the side view?

I believe the flipping of the truck was a supernatural event.

I noticed that. It looked like the truck hit an invisible wall. But that Rolls was later seen at the house they pulled up to, so I guess we'll find out what's up with it soon.

I thought so. No, I hope so. If not that was some of the worst editing I've seen giving us the perfect shot and then switching to a side view to show how fake it was

This aint some bollywood movie, the car had some invisible force field around it.
 
I'm going to ask the SAME question in this thread too

Is it an odd coincidence that these shows

I mean the BEST of the genre

Umbrella Academy, Agents of SHIELD Watchmen and I'm predicting the Boys...

Have VERY VERY STRONG themes on racism and its history specifically in this country?

Is this ALL a trump byproduct?

Will ALL THIS effect the election?

Will / Has all this effect the audience already and possibly played a part in the diverse participation in the protests etc?

How were they able to predict an audience for this?

Man u too smart to be slow on the take on this one. Obvious the lady in the rolls is protecting him. They flipped that car. They showed the flip on purpose. The series is based on Lovecraft so it's gonna be some supernatural shit goin on.

Dude is the father of modern horror. All the shit he wrote/channeled he gave away by making it copyright free. So all the modern horror writers like Stephen King, etc all admit to borrowing heavily from his work.

I know they have to put gay shit in everything nowadays so....Just hopin the lead don't wind up being gay.

Show is dope as fuck. Gonna watch again tonite. I don't get how Letitia wound up goin on the road trip with them tho. I missed that part.
