I’m going to use “Black shows” as an example, like Insecure. Shows like Insecure are made for Black people. These shows have a team of predominantly Black writers and Black cast for a reason. These shows are about the Black experience and they finally give us a chance to be represented, to be seen, and to be heard.

You don’t have to be Black to watch. However, I cringe everytime a non-Black person says, “I feel like I can’t relate to the show Insecure” or “I didn’t understand some of the things said or discussed”.... Well, DUH, what did you think a show with a majority Black male and female cast was going to be about?! You expected to relate to every episode? It’s really okay if you can’t relate. You don’t have to relate because this really wasn’t made for you. If you enjoy the content then just allow yourself to enjoy and learn, but stop feeling the need to relate us so bad.

These shows weren’t made to cater to your experiences like all of the others are. You don’t have to relate, just enjoy and let Black people have something for us for once where we can be seen.
