Donald Glover has heard the online criticism from some Black fans of Atlanta and is fed up. At a Television Critics’ Association panel this week, the creator and star of the hit FX show addressed claims, among others, that Atlanta — especially the recently-concluded Season 3 — is written for the white gaze, while indicating he was done with “the culture.”
“There are better ways to talk about it rather than like with shit I’ve heard in fourth grade about who we are because I feel this is such a Black show. To say it’s only for white people, it’s like we’re cutting ourselves down which is kind of wack to me,” Glover said.
