This mindset is exactly why creative shows of color don’t get to exist on television anymore. There’s an overbearing sense of entitlement that refuses to allow shows of color to thrive. How dare we even try?

People on the Internet Can Be Hella Racist Congrats to Issa Rae and the crew of Awkward Black Girl for their Shorty Award win in the category of “Best Web Show”! (Having given out quite a few awards in my day, I know exactly the kind of racism she’s talking about in her piece.)

Oh man, that’s awful that Issa went through that. As someone who was at the Shorty Awards Monday night, I can ensure you that she got nothing but praise inside the venue. (Also, her acceptance clip was funny.)
