[@lucasmoore2471]

@Nostalgia Crowning like the first ep was about a real thing that happened

[@henriquecruz1614]

@Nostalgia Crowning What he said. I didn't know about it until I read it in the comments, then I rewatched it. Basically the Hart family was a lesbian couple that adopted 6 black children. There's reports of abuse and apparently the couple's family didn't aprove of their education methods, so they were estranged from their parents. In 2018 they commited suicide pretty much the same way as in this episode, but none of the kids survived. I guess this is Atlanta's response to that, where the kids are actually able to get out of it. I also look at it as a comment on the fetishization of black children

[@TheOmegasVisage]

I thought he was just like “f_ck it, I’m just gonna take it out on this guy”, but he foreal thought that was Earn smh 😂

[@africarib]

He heard the man's accent. He knew it wasn't earn but he kept going cuz he just needed to abuse somebody. Same way it happens in real life.

Edit: Devontes body was never actually found.

The promoter beating up the guy in black face was hilarious and deep at the same time. It goes to show is it really just about traditions and not dehumanizing a group? Because to some (the promoter in this case) it reminded him of or saw the guy as earn to beat him up. An effect of racism the promoter probably doesn't even know he internalize.

I think the idea is to let us give our own interpretation. I actually thought it was based on frustration when i initially watched it.

[@arianagarcia732]

^^ same I thought it was frustration up until I realized the outfit prob reminded him of Earn not only that but while he beats him he says "why would you let me do this to you Earn" implying he probably thought it was him.
