Christ, that clip was insufferable. I watched the entire first season because everyone was raving about it. I found all four main characters to be repulsive, insufferable, and as annoying as nails on a chalkboard. If I was “supposed” to hate them, then my congrats to the writers. I hated them so much that I never saw…

That is a great question. Thank you for asking.

“It was so long ago”- Don’t care.

“She’s dreadful in this scene”— great. Still, the only black character they have is sexualized and made to be a fucking REPUBLICAN to be a foil for the white chick.

IF they are so aware of how terrible Hannah is... how about a scene with a black person who recognizes WHY Hannah is…

I’ve read a decent amount about Dunham. That said, something all writing and filmmaking students learn first year is that the text needs to stand by itself.

Re: “(Which is her representing how he sees her, as an object, which is also horrible)”

Hold up, are we in a court of law? Am I a judge? A member of a jury? A lawyer?

As a black woman I have to get this off my chest. If I see one more black man say this shit was brought up because of Birth of a Nation I am going to scream! I have known about this for at least 3 or 4 years you didn’t want to know don’t start with the conspiracy theories.

Just remember kids, so long as YOU don’t personally care about it, anyone else who does is wrong!

Oooooor! We could get over *ourselves* and think about other people for once.

I don’t think they are in the top 15 dangerous jobs in the US, the recent shooting is an exception. Fisherman and loggers have a higher death/injury rate.

Agreed, police officers have a high-risk job and are compensated accordingly in both pay and pensions. Meanwhile black people can be killed for having a tail light that doesn’t work.

To be grown up men who are hired to protect the public regardless of their opinion they are very sensitive and emotional. As a woman I always heard that was a bad trait so I’m confused.

Right. Like, cops and their families VOLUNTARILY place themselves in that position. They are PAID in exchange for going to work. When officers are killed or wounded in the line of duty, they and/or their families receive insurance proceeds meant to compensate them for their sacrifice.

They look like whiny babies.

Their families need to speak up too, since they probably hear the uncensored bullshit these cops (“good” and bad) are spouting.

It boggles the mind, doesn’t it? We’re asked to consider their perspective, but the ones who’ve chosen law enforcement as their profession are stubbornly myopic!

Hey, those cops are putting their lives on the line to protect their communities! They shouldn’t have to put up with reasonable demands to respect black people!

For fucks sake. I am trying very hard to relate to law enforcement perspective, but I am quite tired of being told to think about how their families feel not knowing if their loved ones will come back after work, and the stress that creates. It amazes me that they demand this while failing to understand how black…
