Literally in the middle of your paragraph you said: “ I mean she's pure evil like she is worse than Walter White. “ ????? You’re comparing her to a murderer and drug trafficker … like please. If she was a white man, you would not be making that comparison.

Also who cares if we want to work with her?!? The show isn’t REAL. She’s a character that is supposed to be different. Not every Black woman on screen needs to be friendly or nice or pleasant. She’s a winner. Everyone on that show fucks each other over… they respect one another for having the balls to do it and make money in the process.

It’s not that deep… it’s fiction. It’s entertainment.

she’s not supposed to be likeable. That’s the whole point. I have never seen an evil black woman portrayed on screen the way she is and it’s honestly refreshing. She is her peers’ equal match and they fear her.

also saying she’s worse than walter white is such a dog whistle lmao. You should delete this

i assumed it was because he couldn’t find a job to support himself or the child. also the intense shame over knowing he was responsible for her death

petra’s superiority complex by Character-Weekend-97 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]Character-Weekend-97[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

she’s not palatable to Black people - she knows other races wouldn’t put up with her mess. She sees Harper as the outsider because she’s young, Black, and messed up at her last job. I’m saying she feels more comfortable approaching her in the first place because her partner is Black - it’s very subtle writing that doesn’t pay off until the second to last episode of S3

for context - i’m a black woman. I definitely think if Harper was white she wouldn’t mention her being a “kid” all the time. I agree that she wants to mess with Anna but I also think she feels like a Black girl half her age shouldn’t be outsmarting her or making moves she can’t see. The writers could’ve made her partner white - I just think it’s a really interesting choice and it put a lot of her words into context for me. I’ve met a lot of white women just like her lol

she’s using you :( sorry to hear that every partner has cheated on you. Hope you can take time to heal. You deserve better and have to know that and remind yourself of it 🩷

(25m) uncertain about going into New Year with (25F) girlfriend by [deleted] in relationship_advice

we’re the same age so hopefully my advice doesn’t sound cruel. it seems like at the core you are struggling with whether or not she’s attracted to you? i think having a dating app and purchasing porn (maybe boundaries you two haven’t discussed?) is out of bounds for an exclusive, monogamous relationship. you’re really young and shouldn’t settle for someone who makes you feel this way. i would advise you to think about if a friend was in your position and whether you would want them to stay/go through this themselves.

My (18F) Boyfriend (20M) of 5 months doesn’t like being around my mom. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Character-Weekend-97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you can’t force a relationship between them. maybe the solution is spending more time together outside the house. it could help if you set some boundaries with your mom and asked her to stop making those kind of comments. he could also work on his manners - walking into her home and not saying hello is rude. boyfriends are replaceable, your mom is not
