I’ve been with my man for a smibillion years and I don’t touch his phone and he doesn’t touch mine without permission.  

I thought she was supposed to be his mom at first and was really confused. 

She ain’t gonna be around for long...

As much as I hate to quote Kanye, at least this was BK (before Kardashian)...

What has struck me the most about this epidemic is exactly the lack of humanity that white people have shown. The “I don’t care about no one but me and mine” mentality and the “too bad if it hurts you” attitudes have me cringing in my skin. I don’t understand why these people ignore that we do not live on a frontier…

My mom had control-freak issues and we weren’t allowed to do our own hair. I spent my first semester of college looking like a dandelion because I’d never been allowed to use a blow dryer or curling iron on my own hair.

Hey, there white folks! Just a reminder that there are lots of us black folks that you don’t notice so much because we aren’t blackity-black. We get to know you really well, kinda like spies, because we can pass.

That was the clearest definition of “yoink” if I’ve ever seen one.

Let them drink bleach.

Welp, you can’t be a black girl without one hair catastrophe. Good thing it grows back and YouTube tutorials exists. As does Zoom/Skype/pick a medium with mom’s stylist I imagine..

“6-year-old son Maceo”

His sexist, homophobic, transphobic assholery isn’t his “unapologetic blackness.” *eyeroll*

I thought that when I first saw the scene, thinking, I know Tyler Perry isn’t gonna serve as an expert on quality black cinema, but Tyler addressed it himself by saying he didn’t give a fuck about what white folks and white critics want. IMO, it’s an exercise in unapologetic blackness.

There is this special kind of not Black enough critique that Black creators get. Nobody ever watched “Friends”, and asked “Is this White enough?” (Although NBC execs for sure said that when watching Living Single). 

I’m not sure if you can put Blackish and Insecure in the same category when it comes to appealing to a “white audience”. Lawrencehive was the blackest blackity black ish on social media for a hot minute. That has to speak to the way Insecure resonated with it's black audience in a spectacular way.

Marsai Martin is the best.

That’s what I was getting from the trailer so thanks for confirming.

The younger actress in Little is on Black-ish and I’d like watch the show for her alone. She has excellent comedic timing and dry humor and its evolved over the course of the show whereas the kids on Modern Family tended to have schticks that just became weird and unfunny as they got older or were never that funny to…

I finished it last night. It’s basically a mix of Curb and a richer Blackish. There were moments that had me laughing so hard. I enjoyed it. 

Yikes, this was tough medicine. Very fair, very tough.
