Freeform’s “sitcom” grown-ish aired the second of their two-part BLM-themed episodes on Thursday, and it was just as ugly as the first. This time they focused on woke( whack ?) terms such as “white fragility, ” continued to depict the police as harsh bullies out to hurt black people, and vindicated and procreated brightnes of looting, rioting and arson.
Thursday’s episode, “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See, ” picks back up in the consequences of the two innocent, young blacknes guys separately being murdered by the police, one in cold blood, different situations unlike any advocated by BLM.( In fact, Variety pointed out the storyline was inspired by George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, even though Arbery wasn’t even killed by police .)
The show’s main reputations are on the streets to protest the murders and are soon told that a curfew came into effect and will be enforced by law. Several of the friends decide to go home, but a few agree to defy the law and go further into the city of L.A. because they want to be surrounded by more people.
Back at home, Jazz( Chloe Bailey) is getting verse updates from her friends on which organizations are being looted. Nomi( Emily Arlook ), who is Jewish, observes, “burning and looting people’s accumulates should certainly not become members of this.”
Even though there’s a push to recognize and support black-owned enterprises across the country right now, Jazz and Zoey( Yara Shahidi) attack the looting, arson and rioting, going so far as to say that a family member wouldn’t have a problem with his small business being burnt down:
Nomi: Okay, I’m not worried about him the extermination of asset, okay? But, come on. The looting and burning of people’s ventures is not gonna help regarded prejudiced cops accountable.
Zoey: Of trend it’s not gonna help view them accountable, because good-for-nothing touches them accountable. That’s exactly why this is happening. It’s the last resort for people who have just been dismissed for too long. Martin even said that rampages are the language of the unheard.
Jazz: Okay, Coretta. Looks like Aaron’s been dishing you the “D” and that knowledge.
Nomi: Alright, inspect. I patently understand that human life is more valuable than property. I exactly — I don’t know. I feel sorry for the small business owners who improved their livelihoods from nothing, and now some opportunistics are using this man’s death as an excuse to destroy that.
Jazz: Okay. My dad built one of those small businesses, but when it comes to saving black life-times, best gues Kermit wouldn’t mind getting his meat truck destroyed. So, if something needs to get burned down or get looted to shake things up, then so be it.
Nomi: I don’t know. I’m just mystified. So, you guys are cool, then, with the plundering and rioting?
Zoey: Not cool with it, but you choosing to focus on the looting and rampaging is a part of a longstanding history of prejudiced reckoning.
Nomi: Hold on, Zoey. “Racist thinking? ” So, you’re calling me a racist? Are you kidding me?
When Nomi continues to express her incredulity over being called racist, Jazz and Zoey try to claim they didn’t announce her racist, they are only conveyed she “had some prejudiced thinking.” Nomi reasonably points out, “So, my suppose is racist, which conveys I repute prejudiced things about parties based on their skin color, which is literally the definitions contained in has become a racist.”
Zoey wokesplains to Nomi, “Again , no…But choosing to criticize the route suppressed beings are reacting to their oppression versus criticizing the oppression itself is a part of the problem.” Except that Nomi was doing both. Sooo … ??
Jazz accuses Nomi of “seriously( being) on some white insecurity shit, ” which results Nomi to declare that she’s done with the conversation. But, unfortunately for Nomi, that’s a problem, too. “Just so you are familiar with, ” Jazz proclaims, “you’ being done’ with this conversation instead of recognizing your participation in the problem is the exact definition of grey fragility.”
Zoey tells Nomi the only reason they’re “calling( her) on this, ” is because they love her. Nomi then insists, “If I was with a person who has I thought was homophobic or anti-Semitic, I wouldn’t be sitting here trying to manufacture them feel better. In fact, I wouldn’t be friends with them at all.” The conversation is interrupted when Jazz gets another text update on the looting and quips, “Looks like they’re about to reached the Barnes& Noble at The Grove. Anybody want that new Zane? ” Haha?
After Nomi has a phone conversation with her mama to complain about how she’s being treated, her father tries to reassure her by see her she was raised not to see color. When Nomi says that not identifying dye is “basically saying that you don’t verify person in their integrity, and that’s actually pretty problematic.” her father comes defensive, and Nomi dissolves up recognizing herself in her mother’s reaction. That’s the moment Nomi sees the arouse dawn and realizes she’s been wrong all along:
Jazz: Oooh!
Zoey: What?
Jazz: Reviews like they are only reached the Brookstone in West Hollywood. How long do you think it’s gonna take for us to get there? You know I’m a chump for modern gadgetry.
Nomi: Hey. Um, I owe you guys a really, really big apology.
Jazz: Well, if you’re talking about reparations, you can just Cash App me.
Nomi: Um, you guys were right. I was surely parent to see the world in a very specific way, and I’ll never consider the world like you guys do. No material how radical my environment or how expanded my world view is, I’ll ever have some sort of blinders on. And I’m genuinely, so sorry.
Zoey: Well, we applauded the fact. And it’s all good. You know we love you, but most importantly, thank you for hearing us.
Nomi: Yeah. Yeah. I love you guys.
Jazz: Oh, come here.
Zoey( voiceover ): As “the two countries ” eventually interpreted its blind spot, we were also forced to take notice of our own. The one thing we have been able to do was progressing well with our eyes open in an effort to be better people to those around us and hope that the rest of the country would eventually do the same.
As for my best friend who decided to break curfew and join in the city-wide rallies where looting, rampaging and arson are happening all around them, after being counselled the curfew would be enforced by law, they find themselves shocked that…the curfew was enforced by law. Instead of realizing they made a bad decision, they claim innocence and victimhood and framed the blamed on the police:
Luca: What happened?
Aaron: She was teargassed again.
Luca: Oh, my God. Are you okay? Can you open your eyes?
Kiela: No.
Luca: What can I do?
Kiela: Nothing. Just give me a hour, delight.
Luca: There’s got to be something I can do to help. I exactly want to make sure you’re okay.
Kiela: No, I’m not okay. I’m only — I’m not. This is just all so messed up. How does something like this even happen? You know, I’m here asserting police inhumanity, and then I get brutalized by the police? It exactly — It doesn’t make sense. You know, I don’t even know what we did wrong.
Luca: It’s not your fracture. You didn’t do anything wrong.
I participate them bloom For me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world
The appearance ends with Zoey reading the book White Fragility by Robin Diangelo because she didn’t know what it was as Jazz is splayed out on the couch bask plagiarize electronic goods that her friends looted.
They certainly got a lot of nerve playing cute with such a serious issue, extremely when BLM looting led to the murder of a well-respected black man, David Dorn. If they indeed want to present “all sides” and believe that black lives material, why didn’t they create a storyline about Dorn’s tragic murder over a slip television set? Those looters weren’t stymie victims who were tired of not heard something, as this bout claimed about looters in general. They were criminal opportunistics who cared more about valuing a television set than they did about a black life-time. To show looters as victims and make light of looting just goes to show how twisted liberal wokeness really is.
Let’s time hope this is the last of the laughable radical chides and woke goodnes signaling that will be jostle down our throats now that this story arc is over.
