Saw a Game of Thrones billboard today. Got so excited I honked. The driver in the car next to me flipped me off. I pointed to the billboard. He threw me a thumbs up and said “John Snow for the win bro!”

As a black man who was a part of the first two seasons of @IssaRae and the very diverse writing staff of “Insecure’s” work, I’d have to say STFU! ...btw pick your pants up, your toxicity is showing.

Issa Rae teases Season 3 "Insecure" will be about black masculinity. A topic I bet she thinks she's an expert on. My guess is she'll follow the trend of other prominent black women producers/directors/writers in filmmaking and promote some sort of fuckery about black men.
