I get the endemic issues, ones we as human's really continually struggle with. I'm open to the story, to learning his perspective. But comparing things like the NFL combine to slavery just feels off, as does the way he displays his adoptive parents, basically throwing them under the bus.
I had to stop about half way through the second episode.
It's easier to digest the hypocrisy once you've accepted that most of the prominent racial justice warriors like Colin Kaepernick are themselves racist. Our society hasn't learned that bigots like Kaepernick deserve the exact same judgment from the public (and corporations) that would be given to any generic Caucasian bigot. To do otherwise as is done today - to ignore racism and bigotry from black America in particular - is a disastrous recipe for perpetual racial friction. This is what the Democratic Party wants, but not (in my opinion) what most regular people want. No honest, rational person who sees people as individuals with free will buys the contention that structural racism holds black people back (Asians, Latinos, and every other minority of course don't count as usual...it's all about black people all the time).
It used to be that mainly Republicans were guilty of dog-whistle racial messaging that crept over the line into outright racism. That situation has reversed. It's now the Democratic Party that sponsors racists in their ranks who are allowed by the media to belch out their bigotry unchallenged (Maxine Waters, Ayanna Pressley, Cori Bush, etc).
I agree with your take completely. The show depicted the parents as kind and wise, but utterly clueless about the subtle racism, which I have a very hard time believing to be the case. The single with-it white person in the show was his buddy, who was a thief.
It came across as more than a bit cartoonish. I lost respect for CK over this, thought he was a lot more on the ball, perceptive than this. He didn't even appreciate how privileged his own experience was, which is sort of ironic itself - having parents who will drive you all over creation, pay for your camps, get you hooked up with great coaches, going to good schools - he simply focused on the single irritant in his rather wonderful upbringing - the erosive effect of racial prejudice of upper-middle-class white people upon a biracial son of privilege.
