Let me tell you...

Innocent black man being arrested and processesed

Is some demeaning slave level sh*t.

That scene was so viseral and powerful

That hurt

that was kunte Kente and Denzel being whipped cinematic iconic representation of our decades of pain we STILL feel.

This is NOT your regular CW show by any means

Great acting great direction well done

Now that was cool as hell!!!!!!

Clever flip of a tried a true superhero trope.

Nicely done, nicely executed.

The Thunder Clap was so dope. I love that scene. BUT before I go off the deep rails I need to know who was playing "Let's Take It To The Stage" by Funkadelic??
Who was the group and where these musicians black?? If they were not, then I rescind every good statement I made about that scene's greatness


EDIT: I'm hoping that was GC and the All Stars. It sounded like them

Still have no idea how no one knows that black lighting is Jefferson. I mean that is a big brother with an unusual build... it’s not like it’s that many dudes of that height and size in Freeland. But I’m going to use Superhero Clark Kent logic on this.

in the very first episode they addressed this. they said looking into his face is like looking into pure light.

we can't see that (obviously budget reasons). but that is what the characters on the show see.

I think it was powerful. To show just how inhumane and demeaning that shit is. Not to mention embarrassing. Some don't know.


Yeah that's what I said. Play that part for the skinny jean, bath salt eating, condom sniffing mumble rappers who think going to prison is cool like on Orange Is The New Black

They said that regarding his face... but not his Build. If that was true them not being able to see his build... it wouldn't have been mentioned so many times about how he his costume stands out with all the lights on it.

Mofukka shouldn't be walking around anyway if he can fly. I asked about this before. Freeland must be a very small town because they walking all over it
What happens if Thunder trips?? You take some hard ass steps to keep yourself from falling

I think with Supes it’s also his demeanor! At least in the comics! He’s a bumbling, clumsy goof that you wouldn’t even expect to be Superman! Jefferson no so much cause he doesn’t give off that vibe but with running the school and all the community projects he has going on... guess it’s like with anything in plain site, gotta bring ass to get ass :dunno:. Idk man! Lol
