[@joemanco1075]

"But... the price on tha can tho"

[@dhruvbaria8108]

"the price is on the can tho"

[@Sam-gl6bm]

One of the best episodes of tv I’ve ever seen. My interpretation really is that this episode is just pointing out (in Atlanta quintessential surrealist/absurdist way) how unfair it feels to have to deal with consequences of what your ancestors did, which is something black people already experience. They have to experience the unjust consequences of their people being enslaved. It's just asking what if white people had to experience the consequences of something their ancestors did. Marshall stealing the cookies at the start by accident really plays those themes. He didn’t steal the cookies on purpose. But he also didn’t mind benefiting from his mistake, even though it cost the coffee shop and is clearly immoral. He could have faced his mistake and gone back to return the cookies. Just like he could have tried to work out a deal with the woman who was suing him; his coworker even told him what to do, but Marshall was too caught up in his privilege/ idea that he’s a good person to entertain that thought. I think that the true point behind this episode, has to do with white sympathy. Someone brought up how the fishing dude named Earn might be a stand in for the Earn we know, and he has to be white in order for white people to actually listen to him and hear him out. What if the point of this episode, at least on a meta level, is that they know the white people watching it are obviously going to sympathize with the main character. After all, what happens to him is unfair and cruel. But the point, is that for some people in the audience, why is it only when it is happening to white people do they finally sympathize? This episode is just taking something that black people experience, and subjecting white people to it and if you only when seeing it happen to white people feel bad, it says something about you? Just a thought. The Madeleines image is also quite funny. They’re pure, white, packeted - top of the shelf biscuits. He genuinely accidentally steals them, but he benefits from them happily. Later, comes the cookie in the hotel room. It’s complimentary to the hotel room, but he’s far from home, saddened, and ultimately he’s had to pay for the room. So the cookie isn’t free. Furthermore, it comes in a greasy paper bag, and is Chocolate. Brown. No wonder he’s crying when he isn’t benefitting from his whiteness anymore. Marshall spends the whole episode downplaying the current effects of racism, asks his black coworker for advice then ignores him, then takes a job where most of his money is under the table so he can avoid paying reparations. “Nice guy” foh

[@tomasbreedveld]

Exactly, great analysis. Also, madeleines are the cookie Proust eats at the beginning of his giant 7-part work 'In Search of Lost Time', which deals with the notion of simple experiences reminding us of our lived time, our childhoods, the moments that shape our conceptions for all time. To Marshall, these cookies are not a constant reminder of anything, but just a moment he can let go. Compared to Proust, this is an almost impossible form of privilege - to consider ourselves not as extensions of an infinite amount of moments, but to feel an unburdened Self in a specific moment of time.

[@croupacabra]

[@Nope2479]

[@lego4virgo]

That's the conversation that many whites know they need to have with themselves and with us, but are too afraid of the gut-wrenching realization of it all. The concept of being freed from 'the curse' for both is a very empowering statement because of the the truth in it. It isn't just the facts about the enslavement of one group by another, it's the attitudes that surrounded how the the slaver saw the enslaved--as less than human, as not worthy of living, of having existence. Even with the end of slavery, there was a constant theme of keeping the enslaved repressed in some way, of destroying the spaces the enslaved made for themselves to exist apart from the slaver, and how that even made the enslaved desperate enough to do almost ANYTHING to be able to be seen by the slaver as..human. It even caused the enslaved to turn on each other, seeing themselves as unworthy because it was pushed, and pressed, and shoved into them that they were. And those feelings don't disappear because of an emancipation act, a constitutional amendment, or a civil rights affirmation--it's passed on from person to person, family member to family member, and is here even to this day: "You can't do cosplay, you're black and those characters aren't!", "You can't be intelligent enough to be a Supreme Court justice!", "Why are you trying to put together an engineering project for a contest? You're just three black girls--you don't know anything about that stuff!", and so on, ad nauseum. That's why "critical race theory" fears and banning books has caught on--it's a period that some don't want to be reminded of, because they don't want to look in that mirror and realize that they possess the same attitudes now that they're forefathers possessed then, and if they confront, confess, and attempt to change, that they'll realize how fractured--and how human--they truly are. Not better. Not greater. Just a faulty human. And it scares the living hell out of them. But still..we..rise.

I didnt get this episode until I rewatched this clip on youtube. From what I've observed it looks like it's based off of white fragility.

[@NomastiAfricanWarlord]

There's a difference between being poor and having everything taken away and being forced to be poor. This episode to me has always been about the lack of fairness for it all. It's not fair that Black people in the past were enslaved and suffered systemic racism for generations. But at the same time it's not fair to begin subjecting another group of people to poverty and suffering just because of the actions of their ancestors. Marshall is literally being punished for existing.

[@AnthonyWilliams_83]

@@NomastiAfricanWarlord I know some of us feel punished for just existing because they (society) will never let us have the upper hand at anything.

[@geraldking9385]

@@NomastiAfricanWarlord I mean whose to say it's fair? That's basically equity in a sense. Do you think that the racists grandsons/daughters should inherit anything? Not saying that Marshall here has racist ancestors, but we want to move to a common place or atleast I do. Even though they didn't have the riches that came from them, they still have a benefit from society as a whole while black minorities have a target on their back and eyes on them constantly just by being black alone. What do you think will help us get to a common place so there arent any more discriminating scenarios? I'm curious. Without us having to do more for the other side.

[@rpemulis]

@@geraldking9385 do you think the scenario depicted in the episode would take us closer to commonality? seems like its just the same ruthless system that effectively requires division amongst people, but with the roles swapped. if anything, i think it would drive people further apart, further enflame hatred on all sides. though i'm not sure i see any real solution within the framework of whatever form of american capitalism we have now that requires a much larger group to live in poverty to support the minority. not that i have a better solution or anything, god knows nothing significant is likely to change about this country barring some sort of complete collapse.

They’re supposed to be the opposite of each other. Black Earn started from the bottom, struggled and literally had to build his wealth and success from the bottom up. White Earn was born into success but it was built on the backs of the suffering. Where the two overlap and finally mirror is the realization of it all, of the horror that is the legacy of American slavery and racism. Black Earn carried this realization, this ghost from the start, and finally when his white counterpart saw it, truly saw it for what it is, he killed himself. That’s how I interpreted it.

I can understand the hatred but why put blame on someone for something they had no control of the sins of the father should not be passed down through generations to generations other wise the cycle of hatred just keeps continuing great episode though

[@angel5685]

The blame is placed because no one in a position of power in this country (white people) have ever really done anything substantial to rectify those sins. The wealth gap between whites and blacks is continually widening. Red lining, voter restrictions, over incarceration/policing, lack of school funding, the war on drugs, predatory banks, limited access to loans…Think of it like this, the emancipation proclamation was signed in 1863. The civil rights act was signed in 1964. That’s a hundred years where we were only “technically free”. I don’t know about you, but I know people who were alive in 64’. That’s not really “Sins of the Father” that’s sins of the present.

[@ezekielparker2762]

It’s not blame. Slavery was the foundation of centuries of injustices. It was crippling. Every time black people built successful towns or businesses, they were burnt down or the owners were killed. Now sure, we can make it without reparations many of us have, but the point is the head start it’ll give many African Americans, just like the head the country got when black people were pivotal in the success of America and the white bigoted people who ran America. Now I don’t believe it should be garnished out of white peoples checks but I do believe in the government handling it.

[@mako4874]

This scene explains to white people the significance of the trauma of black slavery better than most could have ever done and have ever done. For a moment imagine the trauma one would feel I’ve been descended from a race subjugated to such cruelty and dehumanisation how that would affect every single encounter decision and that’s assuming there is no racism today but of course there is we’ve come along way in the last 20 years are used to think the idea of reparations was ridiculous but this short film is made me reconsider it

[@CasterOilCamerata88]

Every race has been subjected to terrible traumas. Everyone except blacks and jews are able to move on. However jews don’t commit violent crimes in mass and blame the holocaust. All throughout history nearly everyone hated jews, way more than they did blacks and somehow they still managed to do just fine.

More specifically the long lasting effects of slavery. The children and grandchildren of slaves didn't have generational wealth or land or property to help them like many other Americans had, as their previous generation were slaves. We aren't far removed from the generations of Black people who's parent are slaves at all, as much as people like to say "that was hundreds of years ago. Those factors contribute to a gap in wealth that still exist today. It's hard to be on truly equal footing when your entire race is starting floors below just in a economic sense alone. Which is the actual logic behind the idea of reparations, to even the paying field economically finally, at least between white people and black people.

How is this woke lol… Youre just sensitive asf, Atlanta has always dealt with heavy themes of the blk experience in either comedic ways or they dealt with it in surreal ways with a slight added horror elements because the blk experience can be even scarier than a horror movie a lot of times..like thr robbin season episodes, Al getting robbed, captain crunch O’s ext. What show have you been watching lol, it’s literally like a more surreal version of boondocks..which also talked about race and the blk experience. Also, the message of this episode is not to take money from whyte peple for the sins of their forefathers, it’s actaully showing how silly that would be too target individual whytes instead of going for the governmental system which implemented those institutions that stunted blk peples growth and destroyed blk communties and businesses like blk Wall Street, r0sewood ext You are just too bas1c minded to understand the layers so your only coping mechanism & response to this brilliant episode is too do the most basic thing ever and call it woke lol So typical, can you think with even an ounce of nuance next time plz. Learn how to compartmentalize next time instead of being so emotional and calling something woke or political just because it deals with topics that you are uncomfortable with
