Preach Lucious.....


"You all don't know you are black"....   

I almost fell off my couch laughing because I didn't know how Lucious's speech was going to go.

That was one heck of a speech from Lucious to his boys. In as much as I can't stand Lucious, this speech was something else. Most of the speech was realistic and needed, except the part where he reminded Andre of his wife. That was callous talking about Andre's dead wife like that,..or is she really dead?

IMO I think it was a good scene because I think it is important for parents who struggled to give their children a better life, to remind them and show them what hardship is all about. Growing up privileged can sometimes shelter them from the realities of life much to their disadvantage.

Great job Empire writers.
