I was doing IT work in a hotel lobby and the TV was on. This kind of scene is the only place I'm ever exposed to TV, as I don't voluntarily watch it. Have any of you guys heard of this show called Atlanta, which comes on the FX network? This particular episode was called "The Big Payback", which I didn't know until I used a search engine to clue me in. The white main character seems to find that in his family tree there were slave owners, which somehow everyone at his job finds out.
He suddenly becomes a pariah; his ex wife prevents him from seeing his daughter, saying her Peruvian ancestors never owned slaves. The woman seated next to him at work thumbs her nose at him saying she is Jewish, and that her people were always enslaved. A black woman sets up camp at his front door saying she is owed three million dollars for enslaving her ancestors. At the end the guy chooses to have his wages lifetime garnished at 15% which will go to the black woman's family. The end.
People actually watch and are programmed by this sort of abomination. It even made me wonder what kind of white actors and actresses would play parts in something this putrid, so I looked them up. Justin Bartha, who portrayed the main character? From that group of people who claim to be white only when it suits their purposes. Another white dude is portrayed by a Tobias Segal. No need to look up that last name. Or Scarlett Blum, the daughter. This show was nauseating and it is a wonder that people still have one of those programming TVs in their homes.
