Nah, suck my dick.
White people just need to walk around with those big FRAGILE stickers on their forehead
Oy vey…
Let’s answer all of these questions, shall we?
1) How is this show on Netflix?
Well, it was written, performed, and produced, and then uploaded to Netflix. Pretty simple.
2) Why is the show so political?
Because cops keep killing back people.
3) Why do they talk about being black all the time?
Because they’re black, and they’re proud of that. It’s not their fault that them being black makes you uncomfortable.
4) Where are all the white characters?
In the many predominantly white shows that completely misrepresent the population of areas like Harlem in practically all other fiction.
Luke Cage is a jewel. It’s not a flawless piece of fiction, but it is a glorious series that managed to develop a character who has become one of my favorite heroes in the MCU, some of my favorite villains, and an atmosphere that is simultaneously modern, and retro. It is simultaneously heartbreaking, and inspirational. If you can’t relate to the characters because they are a different color than you, that’s not only your loss, but your problem. Don’t try to blame the series for that.
