    I’m Mexican indigenous decent and when she talked about praying she would be lighter skinned or that she thought if she was lighter she would be more beautiful it broke my heart. I remember crying as a child because I hated my brown skin and trying to stay out of the sun because I thought it would keep my skin from turning brown. My mother is mixed with Spanish so she looks white sometimes with her light skin and green eyes, and my younger brother looked just like her. The older women in our community would always compliment my brother and whenever they saw me they would just ask my mother “is she yours too?” Which my mother would always reply “yes my little beautiful girl, she resembles her dads side of the family.” Thank goodness my mother never made me feel less valuable for the color of my skin, even though colorism is very much alive and thriving in Latin/Hispanic cultures.

    Man, this show... it was so hard to watch! like my heart was breaking into a million pieces as the episodes went by. is a necessary story to tell, and through the efforts of the production and the cast we can see, there was a lot of care put into every single scene. The message I bring out of those painful 10 episodes is that the biggest horror here lies in the reality of the circumstances more than any fabricated monster. And as we continue to watch black bodies being murdered, unfortanelly, this just validates that we still have a long way to go.

    The scene where she's covered in white paint dancing in front of the other white kids pretending to be a white cheerleader, I felt like that was the perfect example to show white people how black face feels to us. Someone putting your entire race in a stereotypical box and performing it in front of you.

Maybe you don’t mean any harm, but not recognizing and or sugarcoating who this effects is also part of the issue. Black face was specifically targeted at Black Americans. Not inclusive of POC.

    What a beautiful interview! Deborah and Ashiley really did a great job being the gilrs' parents, and the fact that Deborah needed to love herself better so the girls could do the same is beautiful. The show is really deep, and I think people should really watch it and try to understand it, because as the cast said "there are difficult scenes to watch, but is a necessary process to go through".

      @@RustyDarkStone I hear you. I come from the aspect of not wanting to see us in this light anymore. These are the only kind of shows and movies they make now. Some kind of trauma, slavery etc. Hollywood refuses to back movies and shows that show us as kings and queens. The kingdoms of Giza, Kush, the story of Mansa Musa the richest man in human history, those stories won't b told cause they don't want us to think of ourselves in that light. Prime example, the movie called Gods of Egypt had Gerard Butler and other whites portraying Egyptian gods. When does the whitewashing stop, when do the traumatic racist or slave movies and shows stop being made. Black history didn't start from slavery and the Jim Crow era

    In episode 5 her character is sexually assaulted while her baby's life is ended before her eyes. Trash show. Extremely disturbing. The cast will probably be mentally messed up for the remainder of their career because of this show. The creator must have some deep issues. The whole show is just a trauma fetish series.
