Whew. Okay I’m 30:42 in on #PennyDreadfulCityofAngels and I can’t do it. Nazis, Mussolini, every derogatory word for Latinx people and the only horror element is based on a race war.

Why the FUCK does TV shows have to be about POC in PAIN to be entertainment!?! #PennyDreadful
That’s like asking Black writers to write about Malcom X, Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, but white writers get to write about Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, fairies and princesses.

Why does publishers LOVE profiting off of Black pain. Don’t they realize how TRAUMATIC it is?!?
I’m so FUCKN sick of it.

I just wanna watch tv/read about Black witches and warlocks, Black folx in space, Black romance, if there needs to be Black pain, then make Freddy Krueger killer without a race element (Sorry Candyman).
It’s just so damn played out. And before y’all hit me with examples, don’t. No shit I know they exist, my point is 10 ain’t enough. 20 ain’t enough. 100 ain’t enough. White folks have had 75+ years of white shows.

FUCK YOUR CRUMBS
White folks have had centuries of books.

Again. FUCK YOUR CRUMBS.

That includes TP always profiting off of Black women’s pain. Give me something that isn’t deep rooted in that. I REFUSE to watch ANY of his shit. My support ain’t for you, IDGAF your race. 🤷🏾‍♀️
