One of my favorite lines in history of TV even to this day was when Carlton from Fresh Prince was not considered black enough to get into a fraternity and he said " Being black isn't what I'm trying to be, it's what I am. I'm running the same race and jumping the same hurdles you are, so why are you tripping me up? You said we need to stick together, but you don't even know what that means. If you ask me, you're the real sellout."... still love that scene and that line

This episode had so many references to actual Atlanta, that was missed too. From White Grady (Grady is known as the hospital for poor black people), threatening Aaron with taking the MARTA, the public transportation line for the city, typically riddin by the working class black population; also Cobb County, one of the whitest counties petitioned not to have Marta built up to its County afraid it would bring more blacks into the area. Lithonia, where the Nigerian kid said he was from is a heavily black populated area of Georgia. Lastly, taking down the name of Stonewall Jackson, the confederate leader is reminiscent of Stone Mountain park. The side of the mountain has a carving of Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee (not S), and President of the confederate states, Jefferson Davis. For years, people have unsuccessfully petitioned to have the carving removed from the side of the mountain, but to this day it's still there showing its embarrassing confederate glory. Also, I believe Donald Glover is from the stone mountain area. Lastly, just wanted to correct your pronunciation of Lake Lanier. It's Lake Lah-near. I love your analysis also so I hope this gives you more context on the depth of the writing.

It's actually more deep than that with Grady. Back in the day Grady hospital was segregated into the white wings and black wings of the hospital. So much so that people used to call it "The Gradys" when referring to Grady Hospital. So when Samuels told the paramedic to take the kid to "White Grady" he was making reference to the racist past of the hospital.

12:30 “so now you’re not white anymore, you’re light skinned?” Inserting the “you were white yesterday “ clip from the Reparations episode was pure genius and made me lol. It’s probably a stretch, but with all of the white Earns this season do you think this character was purposefully named Aaron because they sound similar? I absolutely love your Atlanta deep dive reviews , look forward to them every week, and have recommended them to many fans. May KZbin never claim your firstborn or break your knees! 🖤 Mmm, mmm, mmm

I think in this instance Aaron is a stand in for Al in the fashion episode. Like his blackness was a commodity that he sold, but when he needed to be true to it, it was still used as a product in ways he didn't anticipate. Aaron denied his blackness until it didn't benefit him anymore, and when he needed it he was still seen as the white boy he'd been posing as all along.

This episode came at the most perfect time, I would like to highlight the scenes of the flamethrowers. I’m from Buffalo and what just happened this past weekend is a prime example of this episode when these young adults are playing these games having this anger and want to carry out violence in real life. The parallels between black and white and the uncomfortable discussions that need to had with our youth today because they’re so ignorant. This episode definitely sums up a lot of what’s going on now.

I think a part off this you missed is that his character never really switched up, he just was more accepted by the white people than the black people for being himself. However in the conversation with them at the school you can tell that he is the odd man out and doesn't fully fit in with the other white people to. This also ties into Gambino's earlier albums a lot where he talks a lot about not being accepted by the black community for being a certain way and typically fit in more with white people. Donald was still black like the character is but his "blackness" was always going to be questioned because of how he acts, interests, etc. However like Aaron its uncomfortable being the only black person hanging with only white people because they say shit exactly like what they said in the show lol. Also the whole scene with the "blackness test" fits with my thoughts on this as well. Aaron doesn't have the "stereotypical black answer" therefore he is deemed not black further alienating him from any one real group. I think this is once again taking a dig at the fact that as a black person your supposed to "act a certain way" and this is something we perpetuate ourselves as seen in the episode. Gambino had an old interview talking about "new black" essentially saying he wants black kids to be able to be whoever they want the way white people can and also talks about this on camp hence the album being at the beginning of the episode. Also at the end he gives into the pressure and becomes a stereotype they want him to be once again further perpetuating the cycle.

Surprised by how good Kevin Samuels was in this! But yes, great work as always. An important angle I was hoping you could may be touch on a bit more is one hinted on by the kid asking for the wave check: the ADOS (American Descendant of Slaves)=Blackness conversation. The ADOS movement has been garnering steam in recent years (especially as pertains reparations), but such experiences as represented by Felix shows how non-ADOS Black people in the US are still confronted with the isms that come with Blackness in the US (whether they choose to see it or not.)

Love your breakdown, this is my favourite episode of a season thats proving to be a different beast from anything out there. I was conflicted coz i found it amazing & disturbing at the same time but thats a good thing(forget where i heard this but if u feel exactly the same way after watching a movie as u did before it, the movie failed.) I love the conversation Donalds having thru this show because its difficult and often confusing which forces u think(alot of shows/movies are so predictable & formulaic weve been brainwashed to hollywoods brand of entertainment). I personally enjoyed seeing Kevin Samuels, i laughed my ass off when the principal gave him a huge intro and he walked out to no applause🤣🤣🤣 that was a great touch. Keep up the awesome work!

Other points from this episode to mention: ASU was one of the universities at the center of college admissions scandal a few years ago, particularly with the actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Laughlin and their daughters(look very similar to Aaron’s gf in the episode). ASU has a reputation as a party school that’s relatively easy to get into. They mention the ADOS( American Descendants of Slavery) Movement right before the audition that makes Black Americans a distinct lineage within the African American “race”. Aaron is ADOS by lineage thru his father, but still gets denied by the tribunal because he doesn’t just not look Black, but has purposely self-isolated himself from Blackness. Zion Williamson had a reputation for dating White girls until recently...

Man, I love this channel and the comment section. Really fills in the water-cooler space I need. None of my friends have Hulu and my girl has a quota on how many 'challenging' shows she'll watch at a time (She's SPED teacher. She deserves to relax when she can). So I just wanna thank you for making both the content and the conversation space. [edit: Would love to see you finish the Herman Cain piece when this season is done]

@@NineNerdYards he's been fascinating since he came on the political scene. While I'll never agree with his politics or treatment of women, he was charismatic and even deeply tragic by the end. And I find his eponymous award hilarious. He's like the sad Ronald McDonald version of Colin Powell/Clarence Thomas.

This is one of my best anthology episodes. And I always wait for your breakdowns, they are awesome. Hopefully, you'll continue breaking down black media as Atlanta is coming to an end. We need more of those like F.D Signifier and Primm's Hood Cinema etc

Great vid, per usual! Believe that violin score you reference when Aaron's gf breaks up with him is from (and/or based on) the score from Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet film. Which also has deeper/double meaning, since he and his gf represent star-crossed lovers from different sides of the tracks.

Another one, yes sir, you give the best reviews of this show. provocative,deep, I appreciate the insight that you give. Mmm,mmm,mmm. Keep up the good work and yes this was my favorite episode of the whole season. it touches on so many things that people are afraid to talk about and I think that’s the point of the one off episodes to have those discussions. Again, mmm, mmm, mmm.
