Man, I hope this gets a season 2. Good thing we have Spike Lee's "She's Gotta Have It" series to look forward to this fall on Netflix.
https://youtu.be/LxagtZcTobkIs a white person singing along to a rap song with "n#gga" in it considered offensive by most PoC? I've never really seen that before. I thought a lot of those songs purposely reuse a variation of the word n#gger as a way to reclaim it's purpose. So while n#gger is a word that is intended to insult / degrade, n#gga is a term of endearment? So I thought a Universal adoption of the word n#gga is exactly the point? I'd never personally feel comfortable saying the word even in the context of lyrics, but it is weird being at a party and having people cease to sing along to parts of these top charting songs. I don't mean to offend anyone, because I know I'm ignorant, I'm just curious
I gotta pick and choose my battles, I get uncomfortable as hell being one of few black people at a party and hearing white kids say Nigga while singing Broccoli or something, I don't like it, I really don't like anyone who is not Black saying it, but I don't go outta my way to tell people to stop at a party. Outside of that scenario though, someone may catch a hand to the face if I ask them to not say it around me and they still choose toIs a white person singing along to a rap song with "n#gga" in it considered offensive by most PoC?

The cops stuff took me out of it tbhJust finished watching the whole series last night. The whole thing was incredibly good, in my opinion. Obviously there was decent amount of exaggeration for comedic effect in the show, but I felt it was pretty realistic for the most part.
Ugh I hate when racial consciousness/topics exclusively is brought up in a white/black context. African Americans are far from the only minorities affected by racism in the US, yet they are almost seen as ambassadors of the non-white side of the racial dialogue. Many minorities relate as little to black people as they do to white - blacks dont represent all of us. So dear black people: stop acting like racial representation is a white vs black thing.
It's not and for the most part they don't try and represent it as such. It's just to many, people feel that blacks are the most disadvantaged/appropriated POC overall and they are the loudest voice in the oppositionUgh I hate when racial consciousness/topics exclusively is brought up in a white/black context.

Though I didn't like the DWP movie at all, my friends say while this show is bad, it's still entertaining. I'll give it a spin later.

If you don't like black people why are you watching this show
Damn those black people stealing all the spotlight, how dare they speak out on their experiences and not all experiences!
Just finished bingeing all ten episodes. Overall, I really enjoyed it except for some of the dialogue and the African character.
Like someone else mentioned in this thread, the dialogue sounds Sorkin-esque. It's trying too hard to be witty and because of that the characters don't sound like real people sometimes.
The African character was another issue, probably because I'm a first generation African student. Besides one or two clever lines he was just used for his funny accent and ignorance of American culture. I'm kind of tired of the goofy foreigner trope, and using it shows a real weakness in Justin Simien's writing.

Is there a lot of sex in this show? I might not want to watch with certain people due to awkwardness if that's the case.
