Isn’t this what white people (she is Armenian I think) with privilege are supposed to do? Try to get justice and make things right?

Just because I’ve never experienced something doesn’t mean I don’t understand it. I get the premise of loyalty to a barber who knows how to cut your hair right. Do I get every joke in every episode? No, but I often come away with a better understanding of black culture than when I started.

(White guy Atlanta stan here) It’s REALLY GODDAMN GOOD, THO. The last episode was some of the most gripping work I’ve ever seen in or out of a movie theater. Beautifully shot too

Because there’s only one way to bring children up ‘right’ and the only way to view the past is through today’s woke lens? Give me a break. When the original commenter referenced ‘people who were brought up right” s/he clearly didn’t mean “people who were brought up with an awareness of racial issues that we recognize…

From what I’ve heard race is not really relevant in the first book, maybe in subsequent books? I don’t know. (Please correct me if I’m wrong.)
