Wtf?


So, a black principal, gets profiled by two white cops driving around an asian liquor store owner to find her robber. He gets mad and black lightning is born again. So as a principal he's in a work place full of kids that maybe face racism; the radio and tv news in the show explained lots of major gang activity; he got his daughter out of jail for protesting the gangs when he won't...etc. But he ignores all that and lives posch. But two white cops profiled him he's born again? Wtf?! Can Netflix not give a script at least a second look? Like, wait, fix that, then shoot. The rising cost of Netflix is not worth the rising amount of crap. This couldn't be worse but it's a great idea. It needed better writing. And the stereotypical black gang stuff should insult all blacks.

This is a CW produced show.

Maybe the racial profiling was the straw that broke the camel's back.

In his very first comic he became Black Lightning to take back his streets from The 100. As a black man I don't like being profiled as a gang banger but I'm also well aware that they are still a plague on many black neighborhoods.

I think it's on Netflix in the UK.
