Why does Lena Waithe like to place beautiful people with dark skin on screen only to portray trauma?

Do y'all notice this. She gets really attractive black women and men (the men are subjective, but you get what I mean) and show them in uncomfortable situations that involve the most disgusting racist torture.

And they are always british and never American except on the chi!?

Queen and Slim was one of those movies.

And now with them on prime.

She needs to be called out on this. The chi has this problem too.

She wasted a good cast two times on some bµllsh!t. She also teams up with white producers too as well.

I refuse to support any of her black trauma content.

It is exhausting.

I hate how nowadays Hollywood pushes and gives more major studio backing/funding to the complete opposite of positive representation.

The fact that she considers herself a “revolutionary” says all we need to know.

According to many people on this site, all dark skinned people are traumatized. Even when a dark skinned person says they have had a good life, they're not believed, so maybe Lena is making content for the LSA crowd?

She’s annoying. I watched Them and it only agitated me. I’m not giving Lena another chance

I noticed this too. One of the things that drew me to Them was how beautiful the family (especially the mom) is. Funny how beautiful dark skinned actresses can't be found for any other role, but when it requires them to be raped and brutalized, they can suddenly find non-mixed dark skinned black women.

She is weird.

In her casting she’s can’t even put looking for dark skinned black actresses. It’s always she would be a field slave with the sun too beating on her as her the overseer gazes.

And you’re just like why is that necessary.

I haven’t seen Slim and Queen but Them was too much. The family especially the wife was so beautiful but I hated seeing them mistreated. Lena seems off.

she could have made a beautiful love story with these two but she decided to show them in trauma. I AM SO SICK OF HOLLYWOOD.
