DAMN RIGHT!!!!!

that was just...

I mean they are so damn SMART

and SMARTER!!!

I haven't SEEN that before, it wan't a "funny feeling" or they happen to see something

and to have the SISTER LEAD the way?

Leti is damn sure NOT a damsel in distress! She hauled ass out of that diner and jumped behind the wheel like it was second nature! I fell out when Uncle George kept calling her "girl" and she finally snaps and goes "my name ain't girl, it's Leti Fucking Lewis!!!"

i am very curious about Leti and her missing her mother's funeral and the beef with her family

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.

Bruh. You could just see the word "******" eminating from that truck driver's face.

And when Tic tried to go back for George, she was like "man, get yo ass in this house, we'll worry about him later".

It was actually a damn WONDERFUL piece of casting and acting.

I FELT that look through the screen

Now I wonder if WHITE VIEWERS felt it

or RECOGNIZED 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?

Excellent analysis. Each and every one of these shows addressed racism in some way that you probably wouldn't have seen just 2-3 years ago. Also, remember how Project Power did NOT make Joseph Gordon Levitt the white savior, as well as mentioning Henrietta Lacks and what was stolen from her.

The tension in this episode was thick. You honestly did not know whether or not something was going to go seriously sideways for Tic, Leti, and George. I could feel rage bubbling inside me every time one of those racist CAC's did something dirty.

I think this something we really need to address...

this REALLY hit my chest.

and I really thought I was desensitized to it at this point

I REALLY identified with these characters.

They had us fooled. Had us thinking everything was all well and good while they were up there singing, but then the truth came out. Big sis was not about the bullshit either.

some great PHYSICAL acting with body language and eyes...

now analyzing the scene

the audience reactions the reluctance the "sharing" of the microphone...

it ALL told a story.

With the way things are in America right now, I think a lot of us were watching these scenes and thinking that some shit like this happening in 2020 is not far fetched at all.

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.
With good movies and good TV shows, I play dumb. I don't want to see ahead of what the story has already told me, I want to be surprised.

Now, a bad movie or a bad TV show oh, I'll pick that shit apart like the game Operation, but the good shit like this, Watchmen and others, I just let it come to me as it comes so I can be surprised if that makes any sense.

I wonder how or if HP's mythos creatures are being incorporated in the show?

Since we have an invisible wall blocking cars and tentacles in the promo poster. It would be real cool if the racism on that show is being influenced by these beings who corrupt easily led mortals in order to spread chaos into the world of humans.
