As a New Yorker born and raise, wealthy people in nyc take transit.
Public transportation should be the great equalizer and I definitely don't like seeing it referred to divisively as a class/culture-war issue, where only the "lessers" take it and it's beneath those of higher class...however please don't take that as a critique of this video, I don't think the point was to demonize public transportation but rather highlight the disparity in the perception of such between the classes. Rich people not taking public transit as depicted as such is more of an indictment of rich people themselves than the public transit system and those who rely on it.
one of my main gripes is how they portray Miranda as this uneducated, out of touch with technology old lady even though she was arguably the most progressive in the original series; especially with technology! just doesn't seem like an honest character progression
Agree
They screwed her character. It was a step backwards.
they do the same thing with carrie - she's always been weird with new tech but now she's so out of touch with EVERYTHING
If they would have let Stanford pass it would have added on the Carrie’s pain of losing her husband and friend , and often times in real life ppl do lose ppl in twos or threes , it wouldn’t have been too much , it would have been authentic
Carrie took the subway once or twice in the OG show - people of all backgrounds take the nyc subway in reality. Since Miranda lives in Brooklyn, makes sense she would take the subway - but you’re totally spot on in that the subway wasn’t a major feature for any of the characters until Nya was introduced.
true true. I'm glad to know the subway isnt what i thought it was - but i still side eye that scene choice lol
@@kythekunoichi Yes, basically everyone in NYC takes the subway. Usually it is faster than driving. Not sure why in SATC Carrie was always taking cabs -- that seemed strange to me. Maybe it's because of her stiletto obsession. It broke some of the immersion for me in the original show.
I am sure there are some celebrities or CEOs with private drivers but the vast, vast majority take the subway.
Such a great analysis. As a non-ambiguous black woman it was so refreshing to hear someone else acknowledge the significance of how these two women are portrayed
thank you!!
People can make excuses all they want Che is a terrible character. They gave Cynthia Nixon too much power. She ruined Miranda and Steve. She basically modeled Che and her storyline after the person she left her husband for and it just doesn't align with the Miranda we know and love.
It made no sense that Carrie would need an assistant. Like she was under employed and needed an assistant ?
LMAOOOOO

I AM SCREAMING!!!!!!
I felt very uncomfortable the whole time the clip about Jennifer Hudson’s character was playing because it felt like somebody kind of missing the point. Also, what does he mean “someone who looks like they’re from St. Louis” and “not another Barbie doll.” I hate the implication there that the POC woman should be heavier or curvier? That’s another weird stereotype. I don’t know if that’s what he meant but it felt kind of skeezy.
The miranda and the professor scene took me out its so forced😫 Miranda in the OG series would never be this cringe
MPK talks about the Jen Hudson character , describes what’s essentially a mammy . Then smugly tells us , “you’re welcome.”
Nicole Ari Parker has done a multitude of interviews stating she is NOT biracial. ( One in particular, the Breakfast Club interview). She has stayed at both of her parents are black, and they are also NOT biracial either. They are brown skin, and she come out light skin. Just Clarifying.
Valid. But that's her phenotype... which is more relevant because that's what people see and why the decision to cast
She should have just said lightskinned then. If it’s mostly about phenotype then she wouldn’t insist that parentage is the true and foolproof distinction between biracial and Black. Still a good video but that bit made her seem like she failed to do proper research.
Back handed compliment =not a compliment at all. His ENTIRE description of Louise was such a mammy, save/help the white womanhood throwback
14:12 I’m not liking his description of casting Jennifer Hudson. It sounds so racially coded. And just ewww.
Right i hate it it’s extremely stereotypical
Michael Patrick King thought the only Black woman to cast was pretty much the meoman who has to pull Carrie up? Honey, no. She had to be real? So, sassy and obsessed with designing bags? He doesn't have Black female friends
I was so upset that Dr. Nia's husband left her for a white woman! Dr. Nia was a missed opportunity. We do have elite Black academics with money and families. They could have talked about the discriminatory practices in academia. They could have followed the lead of Megan Good's character in Harlem. Her character was more fashionable and financially stable than Dr. Nia. As a Black woman in a PhD program, I was incredibly disappointed by her character's story arc.
I miss Samantha but I am grateful for not having the Samantha storyline where Brandy is hitting on her and wants to sleep with her. Disgusting! That was a big part of her decision of not coming back for the reboot. Samantha deserved better.
Charlotte taking care of the flowers, Samantha being the comic relief then crying for Miranda, Carrie running to walk with her. It was so beautiful and shows how friends can all be different but still so powerful
It’s so sad that they couldn’t write POC characters that feel real! Like Che is my Mexican representation ???
damn i am so sorry to hear that lol
Im a Mexican/Irish AFAB nonbinary person who enjoys weed and I think Che is the worst queer character I’ve ever seen on screen. I finally get to see myself on screen and this is how they do us? It’s shameful
16:48 I know I was like “she does all the work so Carrie can just “exist” and she can take care of herself so Carrie doesn’t have to “worry about her.” (As if Carrie would worry about anybody besides herself…)
I heard the black woman character needs to do all the heavy lifting do the white character can just be self centered and self involved… :/
(And I’m white)
Yes, so cringe. The man is racist and doesn't even know it.
Respectfully a deep dive on the second season would be greatly appreciated
Just my immediate impression of the reboot was to take issue with Sarah Jessica Parker herself (and of course Michael Patrick King who is obsessed with her/the Carrie character). By the end SJP had so much creative control over SATC, so it feels very ridiculous that when it came time for the reboot, Carrie was the character who was already woke, she had the diverse working group, she was already aware. Meanwhile, they "stuck" the Miranda and Charlotte characters with the task of making up for the sins of SATC (of which SJP was partially responsible for). They made Miranda/Charlotte the bumbling characters who can't keep up, even though it was Carrie who historically was always doing a curmudgeon routine about things changing (usually as it relates to technology, but still). So after watching/listening to this, it makes me think it's kind of ironic that even as they're trying to portray Carrie as the forward one, SJP and MPK behind the scenes are kind of exposing they're not as forward thinking as they want to come across. It also kinda makes me upset that I couldn't put my finger on why I wasn't enjoying Nya, but you really lay it out there, they set her up as a story device for Miranda the first few episodes, they make her the broke one, the one who can't get pregnant, the one who doesn't get the "I love yous." I know all the other characters had problems, but it felt more balanced.
Thanks for watching. I love this comment and I totally agree.
It’s the same with Cynthia Nixon, you notice she directed a few of the AJLT episodes? It felt like Miranda became real life Cynthia, instead of the actress playing the role.
@@kythekunoichi I hadn't connected those dots before, but you're so right!
I stopped watching AJLT because of Che and Miranda
valid af
Nobody liked their characters. But Che is gone now. Maybe you can give s3 a try. Except now Miranda thinks she's a lesbian because she dated a non binary woman which is contradictory... It wouldn't bother me if it was true to character. 🙄 She's totally different. Samantha should replace Miranda.
sex and the city videos usually talk about it from the perspective of 2023. it may be seen as offensive now but its sexist and homophobic jokes were tolerated in the 90s, but viewing the series merely from this standpoint simply takes away from all its value, the friendships, the character development. you did such a good job when summarising the series. honestly its refreshing to see satc get the credit it deserves.
Thank you ❤️
11:52 skip to here to get to the diversity and colorism part. You’re welcome 💜
Kind of reminds me of Fresh Prince. Hilary got to be the spoilt ditsy one with 0 character development over 6 seasons still living in the pool house and asking for $300 at 30 but Ashley was the social justice activist, the smart one, the one going to college etc. Hilary was mixed with two black parents too which makes no sense 😅
I always attributed it to Hillary favoring Uncle Phil and Ashley favoring "the Real Aunt Viv" and Carlton being a mixture of both parents.
@@tnp1047 I think that’s what they were going for but I mean in reality it made no sense lol but that’s 90s network television for you.
The Barbie doll comment is interesting because the only woman on the original show that actually looks like a Barbie doll is Charlotte. SJP to most is not conventionally attractive outside of being thin and white. Neither is Miranda.
I could not stand Nya/Miranda’s first couple of encounters. Very cringe and too in your face for me. I guess I just expected more from Miranda than the other main cast ladies. And I sort of wish Nya/Miranda had been explored bc I’m not a fan of how they wrote Che’s character
The only time I can remember Carrie taking the train was in the first movie when she goes to see Miranda for New Years but I remember Carrie saying in the show that she absolutely hated the train
And she was broke because she always took taxis 😂
What was missing for me in the reboot is the characters, I felt like they got lost. And the outfits doesn’t seem like something their characters would wear most of the time. where was the simple,archive pieces they OBVIOUSLY would have had since they lived through the 80 90 and the 00? On top of that the storyline was weak. And I don’t get why Carrie got together with (spoiler) Aiden again. Like make a new character! Someone who actually fits her. And Miranda was all over the place..
I liked Nya. I think the showrunners made a lot of mistakes and one was adding four new girls to the show instead of one or two... our attention is too divided. I also hate that all thr orginal cast are now obscenely rich so Nya being less so was pleasant for me. I still wish theyd shown everyone else as more relateable, too.
Honestly i would have been happy if they only added Nya and maybe Seema instead of Che.
And dispersed with all the clueless white lady stories. Just act like thry always knew black people, which they did, and let the characters be people not teaching moments.
its sad because they ended up losing two of the 4 women added. there probably shouldve only been two, like you said.
That interview about JHUD started out decent until he said "delicious"... It went downhill from there 🤢
LOL!!!
Just revolting. Felt the ick just pouring out of the headphones.
Hearing that producer describing Louise's character was so painful. To me, erasure hurts "less" than racist inclusions. Why couldnt she be "another Barbie doll" (rhetorical)?
You have to check your sources before making a video like this - Nicole is NOT BIRACIAL. And the truth is, Dr Naya didn't fit with the group for economic and academic reasons. She was fine as Miranda's friend cuz Miranda was always the one that felt that her friends didn't have the depth to talk about anything other than men and shallow things. Her and Naya are equally intellectual. Which is why Lisa and Carrie's friend fit better in the group. Lisa is upper East side, stylish and wealthy. I'm very familiar with colorism but i didn't get much of that from the show. I got classism. Granted, colorism and classism can go hand in hand. But let's not act like the women never looked down on Miranda the moment she moved to Brooklyn with Steve.
Spoiler I hate that Andre gets with a white woman who immediately becomes pregnant because of the way it’s written to pitch her as the better partner for being subservient and giving Andre what he wants, it makes Andre look controlling as there’s no story arc or intro and worse yet Naya is presented as cold, selfish, and becomes bitter and resentful and childish. Naya is portrayed as immature.
I agree out the actresses she is the youngest in her late 30s while the rest of these women are in 50s and 60s, I think that could have been acknowledged and discussed as well, that would explain why it look like her and Miranda's relationship is not balanced and seem more mentor like. She is not treated like a peer not just because of class but also age.
There were multiple times after Miranda moved to Brooklyn that she mentioned taking the subway. Back in the og series. Carrie took the subway a few times, especially to go to Wall Street
Knowing what we know about Cynthia Nixon’s insistence that Che was Miranda’s love interest and not Nya as originally intended, I can’t help but wonder if that’s why Nya’s screen time was so badly handled. Colorism is definitely part of it as that’s likely what led TPTB to cast her aside so easily.
Also I just want to shout out the random storyline with Nya’s chocolate soufflé and how the writing made it seem like she cooked Andre into the soufflé and ate him lol
wait what??? Nya was supposed to be Miranda's boo???
@@kythekunoichi yes and they thought she wasn’t “butch” enough so now we have the worst character of all time: che.
@@oguzhankara409 PPFFFTT WHAAAAAT!?!? omg woooooww
@@kythekunoichiCynthia Nixon needs to be put in horny jail for her crimes lol
Carrie took the train to get to jury duty on time once because there was traffic, Also I’m glad you pointed these things out because some went right over my head
* to ring the stock exchange bell
@@natashacampos9908 oooooo you’re right
The subway you overthought. Its a quick way to get around the city, not low class. And Miranda in the last season if the regular seies Miranda complains that her feet hurt from walking from the subway to Steve when they were at the Brooklyn home. When Miranda lived in manhatten it makes since she took more cabs.
I agree with what you said, and we know that in NY even celebrities and politicians take the subway, but I think her point is, have we ever seen a SATC character take the subway before.
Great video! I really enjoyed it. Not that it matters, but I don’t think Nicole Ari Parker is biracial. She has said “I’m just light-skinned and from Baltimore… My mother’s from North Carolina and she has green eyes and freckles. So, I’m sure there’s a whole lot of white and Native-American mixed-in there. But I’m only claiming African-American, because that’s really what I know.” I think she comes from one of those multi gen mixed families.
You had really interesting and insightful takes! And Just Like That is honestly like a cringe horror lol, I was surprised at how many of Nya's early scenes I had blanked from my memory because Miranda's racism was just so excruciating lol.
22:38 I've heard the saying that black skin in of itself is a political statement, regardless of that individual's intention, stance or choice in the matter. This feels like an extention of that. Just the image of a person who is does not visually fill the role of white, cis, hetero male is automatically politicised and is automatically assumed to be left leaning. Its the new form of fetishization. Only now has the fetishization flipped from being a tool used by traditional jim crow rascists to liberal rascists in the present.
‘Taxi’s dont go to brooklyn!’ Or something like that from satc show. They wete totally unhinged and took a taxi everywhere(at least from the point of carrie)
“I’m talking about dating….. in your 30’s”
Me about to enter my 30s
I've been here for 3 years - its not so bad lol (minus the dating part)
Very interesting! Thank you. It seems all those bad scripts in modern series/movies are written by chat GPT and never checked by real humans. The same showrunner's project Emily in Paris is even worse with stereotypes about everything possible
There's an episode where Carrie has to (GOD FORBID) take the bus and the subway and they make a huge deal out of it.
I love the analysis, but Nicole Ari Parker, though light-skinned, is not biracial. The phenotype discussion is still valid, but since you made it a point several times, it’s worth clarifying.
Please over analyzing season 2 bc I don’t want to waste my time watching it bc I was so upset with season 1 bc I still want to know how it turned out in your perspective as a fan.
Season 2 is better and sometimes it kinda feels like the old SATC
Big dying made sense because that marriage wasnt going to last. Just the few moments they spent together in the movie #2 and the AJLT premiere was absolutely unbelievable. As for Sarah Ramirez, she is absolutely the most talented person in that cast. Blaming her interpretation of the character abd not the director who sets the done is ridiculous. The 100% hate that she received was crazy.
im the same age and was watching it so young lol used to be like " im such a Carrie" to being an adult like " omg Carrie sucks" lmao
The character of Louis/Jennifer Hudson and how the director described her not being another Barbie doll casting is because Sara Jessica Parker is not an attractive person. She gets so much flack for her looks. So the show purposely cast someone who couldn’t be called a conventional beauty aka Barbie who would upstage SJP/Carrie. In this case I don’t think this had to do with race. Kim Cattrall already upstaged SJP in the series and the movie so they couldn’t have someone else upstage the not so attractive star. Even in the movie Gentlemen prefer blondes with Marilynn Monroe they cast an actress that was less attractive than her to be her co star.
Jane Russell is gorgeous though.
Awesome analysis, writing and delivery!
thank you!!!
I was too young to watch as well, but my white college roommate watched the DVDS religiously, so I got hooked. I hate the reboot, but am grateful for this evaluation bc I didn’t trust the writers to create nuanced Black characters…
Thank you so much for this! I’d love to see a season 2 breakdown!
Miranda started catching the subway when she moved to Brooklyn
This was interesting. Great video!!! I think that featurism also played a large role in this. While both actresses are beautiful and appear black, one has more European features. I also think that Karen Pittman's character as written was always going to be a problem because it's extremely unrealistic for a smart Professor to befriend someone who's made racist and or microaggressive comments during their first 3 interactions. If they hadn't changed Miranda's character so much, the friendship would have made a lot of sense, so this is definitely the writer's fault
Yes, agreed. I could see a Columbia professor befriending a lawyer at a top New York law firm. It makes sense as a natural friendship. Maybe they both bond over being ambitious, intelligent women in the legal profession. They would likely have shared connections and overlaps in their circles. Not sure why they decided to do it this way.
LOVE the way you started the video! Got me excited like when I would get ready to watch the show, back when we couldn't rewind, pause or fast forward. Thank you for such a thoughtful video!!!
And I want an over-analyzation of season 2 LOL
thank you for watching!!!
Really enjoyed this analysis!! I will definitely be seated for part 2 if you make it
That whole rant? About jhud, cringe is not the word. It made my skin crawl 😢
He kept saying strong like no
my jaw was dropped
Great analysis!
It's just such lazy writing. Even the foot-in-mouth situations are so boring. Like Charlotte confusing a woman for someone else. Such a tired old "joke".
Same for Nya. The braids?! That's what they go for? I'm probably slightly younger than Nya and faculty at a university and I'll get a lot of the "wait, you're the professor?" stuff just based on being a young looking woman. That Miranda scene was so cringey. No. Braids.
There are actually interesting things they could do with a black woman who's an accomplished professor, like the fact that every time a woman, especially a person of color, gets a faculty position, there will be nasty people saying how it's about "minority hiring/promotions" yet women are still doing their thing confidently. Or generally, a woman in academia because that's its own struggle. But yeah... the writing is just uninspired and lazy throughout.
PS: As for the subway, that might just be common sense, given traffic. Miranda lives in Brookly, so it might be faster to go from Columbia to Brooklyn on the subway than in traffic. Same for Nya. Also, I don't know of any people working at universities in cities with decent public transportation who would uber or drive to work. I used to work in Paris and my university was quite a bit away from where I lived, and I'd rather walk 10 miles than having to drive a car there. People are insane :)
Thank you for using The SIms Hot Date score...I love it!!!
thank you!!! thats awesome that you recognized it! i love the first sims music
@@kythekunoichi Me too!!! I use it when I work sometimes. It’s soothing ☺️
Nicole Ari Parker has two black parents she is not biracial
im pretty her step mom is black but her real mom is white (irish and native american). but she's said that she only claims her black side.
Nicole’s parents are both black theyre divorced yeah… but they very much black. Nicole looks like her mama. She has the same eyecolor as her etc. if anything Nicole has ad mixture like a lot of Black people do and those trait just come down from generation…Nicole‘s husband Boris he’s black and German.
@@kythekunoichinope u wrong she full black
I agree with much of your analysis of the reboot.
Although SATC always made it seem that public transport was beneath them, taking the train in NYC is common for people of all income levels and backgrounds. Nya likely would not take a cab from Colombia to her home in Harlem as a professor. The same for Miranda as a now student living in Brooklyn.
This modernized the series, where I feel other parts were forcing the issue of wokeness.
A big issue is the time-lapse. A 12 year jump is a lot of time. The 4 years from the show to the first movie was a decent jump. They are really starting from scratch. The movies had a jumping off platform from one another and the show.
Yes please, I'd love to hear the analysis on season 2!
This was masterful in how well thoughout and presented all of this was done. I heard that Nya was actually supposed to be Miranda's gay awakening actually, and tbh I think Miranda should have been left how she was written. I forever am disappointed when characters are molded to fit the character versus actors exploring a role that is completely the opposite of them. I pray Nya's talented actress finds much better success. 🙏🏻 girl was just as stunnin as LTW and should have been shown to be that way too.
I want to suggest another show where I feel the dark skinned black girl was much better done, at least in the spin off. The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. Idk if you've watched any of TWD in general but I grew up on it and came back in early 2023 after being gone from the fandom since losing cable in 2018. And Ms. Danai Gurira has my heart! Finally in this spin off her gorgeous skin is lit well, sure she still has dreads, but that's something I've accepted as the Michonne character. But yeah that's been the show I've seen her character be allowed to be vunerable. Something, as you so brilliantly put, has been lacking with the stereotype of the darker skinned woman having to only be strong and capable, and sure Michonne is that but I excuse it considering its the zombie apocalypse plus her hubby Rick is just as strong abd emotional at times. Definitely reccomend it, plus its just nice to see a black leading lady seen as gorgeous and cherished. Rick truly is a lover boy to end them all. 💕
im only saying it cus you said it so much NICOLE IS NOT BIRACIAL. a quick google search proves that she is light skinned and has eurocentric features but shes pure black nd so are both her parents
i just did a quick google and it said her mom is white and dad is black so 🧍🏾♀️
Loved this! Very healing and informative. Thank u ❤
By the way with the Subway, they explained that because both Miranda and Nya live in Brooklyn it's easier for them to take a subway because apparently most cabs don't go to Brooklyn idk
I thought that was a main ‘joke’ in the original as well
I loved the music you had in the background
Thank you - it’s from the PC game the Sims Hot Date ❤️
these topics are too important, enjoyed this so much thank you
I would love an analysis of season 2! Amazing video
plz do analyze the second season ! im hooked and never even seen either of these shows ! this has convinced me to finally watch S&TC! great job
I really appreciate this analysis. I’m so glad I came across this video today! 😊
I agree with everything you said! Great video!! PLEASE give us the overanalyzing of s2!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is exactly how I describe my feelings for tv shows like Sex and the City and Queer as Folk
YES, I want an overanalyzation of S2
I love your commentary, please do season 2!!!
Yes pls for a video on season 2, this video is excellent!
thank you!!!
I would like to see you analyze the second season please 🙏🏾
Love your analysis of Jennifer Hudson’s character. It always made me uncomfortable and squirmy but I never knew why
It seems like the issue with Nya is they rushed the friendship. I think they could have met at the school and got to know each other or reconnected in the second season. And in NYC, most people take the subway (even some well known actors). It was a criticism of the OG show along with the lack of diversity. The only person in the SATC universe rich enough to never take the subway was Big and to a lesser extent, Samantha. Charlotte theoretically could have walked to work and taken cabs late at night for safety, but she'd have needed the subway for anything else. Even her eventual husband, Harry, is someone who should have taken mass transit. On his salary as an attorney, they more realistically would have lived in Westchester or Long Island, not UES. The show is very unrealistic about money overall. It's a fantasy. I remember meeting people who'd move to NY saying the city was nothing like SATC. That show is a fairy tale when it comes to any sort of real estate, fashion, or financial storytelling if we're talking about actual salaries these characters woukd have earned. 😂
Harry wasn’t just an attorney. He was a pretty important partner at a law firm. So it is entirely feasible that he could have been in a fancy upper east side home. Also, let’s not forget that the apartment in which they lived was the apartment that Charlotte received as her settlement from her brief marriage to Trey.
I never really thought about the differential treatment that Nya and Lisa received but I think you make a good argument. I did like both characters and appreciated how the show didn't seem to force the relationships (this seemed more appliable to Lisa and Charlotte. Looking back now, I do see that the relationship bewteen Nya and Miranda did seem rather forced but I thought less so than the one between Miranda and Che (ugh)). I am sad to see Nya go (because she was so freakin' cool) but I'm curious to see who will come next, if producers even want to even try. At least I didn't see so much of a "magical negro" treatment of either Nya or Lisa.
Yes to the Season 2 analysis!!! Subscribed.
thank you!!!!
louise’s role reminds me of the black best friend type character from queen’s gambit, jolene, who was a black woman in racist 60sAmerica, and yet gave all her hard earned economies set aside for college to beth, so that beth could go to russia and win at chess. don’t get me wrong, i loved queen’s gambit, yet it was extremely and obviously stereotypical in many things. yet people seemed to not notice.
Completely agree on both fronts !
LWT dad died last year in season 1 but in season 2 her dad is Billy Dee Williams 🤔
YO! i was thinking about that because I remember her dad being a big deal in season 2. I'm going to look into that when i deep dive season 2
This video is GOLD. Appreciate this commentary ❤
thank you!!!
Great video i totally agree with you about louise even though i enjoyed Jennifer in the film and i also agree about Stanford i didn't like what they did in the reboot would you ever do a video on the pretty little liars reboot
thank you for watching! omg I've never watched PLL - in college my roommate always had a movie night for it and I always went to sleep during lol is it good? Should i check it out?
@@kythekunoichi even though the show is problematic it's totally worth a watch
yes, miranda started taking the train when she purchased the house in Brooklyn. They never showed it but she mentioned it in a conversation with Stevie Pooh...I love steve
I’ve never watched it (sex and the city) but this was so sweet, reminds me of Toni Morrisons Sula
Great work on this video, you have some very interesting insights !
I personally think the reason she took the subway could be because she is an activist, and fights for equality and so a so-called lower class transportation system would not be a problem for the inclusive activist.
(I comment later because I didn’t finish the video earlier)
But I do think it’s interesting they choose the ‘fancy’ black woman (Lisa) to have permed hair/or a wig and the actively inclusive woman to have supposed ‘unprofessional’ braids. And the ideology that braids are unprofessional is such a western ideology, i live in Africa and braids are often more appropriate in international schools (which is a problem in it self-why is natural hair not professional??..-) but it’s interesting to see how the west (specifically America) treats hair
I really enjoyed your take. Especially about the lighter skinned black people! One of my good friends actively avoids the sun to avoid a tan and keeps insisting she’s light skin and lighter skin than her sister which is so weird! But I feel awkward to correct her b/c I’m not black! I wish she’d not be influenced by societal expectations so much
My comments are so unorderly and don’t even make much sense I am sorry for rambling
oh yeah that could be part of it lol
I would love to hear your take on season 2❤
PLEASE do season 2!!
This was really well done and interesting. I'd love to hear your thoughts on season 2! Thanks for all your insights.
thank you!!!
The way my dumbass would have just been like I’m sorry you looked too young and hot to be a prof lmaooo
Edit: I’m sorry, the joke was about how white saviors are necessary and not how THE ATTACKER WAS CHUCKY!?
Loved your analysis, thank you for your work!!!!!❤❤❤ agree on everything you said. Thanks for pointing out so much of the not-so-obvious!!!!
thank you!! ❤
This was GREAT. Thank you!
Would love to hear your perspective/thoughts on season 2 and beyond.
Love your channel and takes on this! If I could offer a suggestion to grow your channel even more, I think you should look over some of the pauses in your video. Its kinda weird. Great video though, its so hard finding other black women who also love SATC ! I noticed the colorism "trope" has become a new common way for Hollywood to remove fully black women from movies and show. I call it a trope because lately you'll notice, they will throw in just one woman of mixed race or have a black man paired with a white woman as a love interest. And this is their way to show "diversity". Its sad how people choose to ignore this. I just don't see as a actress how do you read some of the scenes from SATC and not speak up and have them change it. That cab scene was cringey af.
PLEASE REVIEW IT ALL!!! ❤❤
yessss season 2 please!!!!!
