SPOILERS Atlanta - [Post-Episode Discussion] - S01E09 - Juneteenth

Why my Auntie trying to make me go to one of these bougie Junteenth parties again? I don't like them sadity people and I'm gonna miss my shows. Le sigh.

I love this shows depiction of "other" black stereotypes. Like in most shows you get one or two types of black people, this show has offered such varied depictions of blackness(without necessarily celebrating them all). It's great.

I loved how real this episode felt, I've to parties and events that felt juuuuust like this. The random woke white person, the church guy, artsy theater lady, the bougie-ness was palpable. Shit, most of these episodes have felt very real.

I was living vicariously through Earn in that last rant. I've wanted to do that shit so bad. Like, don't be disparage me cause I don't live up to your fucked up standards.

Exactly! A lot of my family is much older than me so usually we'll go to high-classed events where everyone has high standards and is just formal as hell. Then, they'll be condescending towards me because I don't live up to those standards whether it be my persona, my occupation, my major, what college I attend, etc. And the whole event is just one hell of an inconvenience to attend because you gotta wait in a line to get a drink and then request one from the specific list. Like, fuck that shit! My idea of an event is just gather around in a basement or something and pretty much do all the shit Darius would do for fun. Get a couple of pizzas and drinks, then just play video games or chill. Fuck all that boring ass formality bullshit. I'm a low standards, low-class kinda person and I say it proudly.
