That Peruvian bit is god level and was strictly for the niggas I dont think ppl really understand how infuriating that s*** is until you live around those types (Shoutout to my hispanics in the south) for a good portion of your life

not surprised this is such a polarizing episode

interesting they chose to focus on the white liberal in this situation instead of a southern republican. feel like reparations in this form would lead to a lot of violence and anger which I would've liked to see the episode portray more

opening scene was kinda deep in retrospect. black guy getting sent to the back of the line while generic liberal white guy was literally drowning out discrimination with NPR lol. office scenes were funny too

not too sure about the ending tho. the magical honky who comes to explain it all and accept the responsibility yet is unable to live with it rang a bit false. then the denouement of the white guy finally accepting his loss of power and joking around with minorities seemed a forced happy ending

idk, reparations is a near impossible topic to tackle but I feel like Atlanta could've done it a bit better than this. would've been cool to see various characters going through this journey

also, if episode 1 was a dream, why not make this a dream too and have the 4 main characters playing different random roles. would give it a nice balance of having these episodic episodes but still including the characters and adding to their stories

Only thing that could’ve took this episode to the next level is if Ben Affleck played the main character on some meta s***

Affleck found out about his family history on Dr Henry Louis Gates show and then PBS cancelled the show

it really shouldn’t

when you see the dude crying in the hotel you kinda feel bad cause yeah HE didn’t do anything
but when the other guy explains why this is meant to happen and black people have been asking the same question since slavery it all just comes back around

Why did the black guy get send to the back of the line? There were literally no context clues for that

Nearly nobody voted for Marianne Williamson in 2020 primaries. She is the first Democrat to have a full on plan on black reparations in USA. She was the most googled person after first debate. And then hit pieces came down on her in abundance. Presumably, from the powerful elites, Biden and such. People could have still voted for her but they vote against themselves all the time. They as in many that want reparations.

If anyone thinks this show is about the rap career of paperboy I need to ask “Do y’all really watch the show or skim through it”

I’m honestly thinking some of y’all might be busy playing on ya phone while watching because the “rap career” plot has always been wayyyyy in the background and not the main narrative. This show has ALWAYS been theme heavy and a deep dive character study on the black experience.

I truly think some of y’all haven’t understood the point of this show from day 1.

episode was cool but donald gotta cool it with the black and white stuff while he literally married to a colonizer
