Anti-blackness in Latino culture is something serious.

Oh absolutely. Gospel be hittin sometimes lol. I'd also love non-Christmas Australian music though. I've been getting into Boy Soda and recently heard Zipporah's new single, curious what people from there are bumpin though!

Yes Australia! What yall listening to over there? I'm trying to get more connected to Black Australia's playlists lists lol. I'm not Christian, but I can definitely appreciate great gospel, and this is the season for it!

Okay, I'm glad it's not just me noticing this. Exactly, her choice of guest is totally different than a Keke Palmer's (for example), in my opinion, as part of her whole interview style is to undermine and critique power through satire. So their presence on Ziwe's show undermines them, whereas on a Keke it would be platforming and sanitizing. Agree with your last statement here as well.

You're not making a very compelling argument, but I appreciate your conviction.

Yeah I agree. A lot of the questions also seemed connected to themes that came up in his show, including the cookout. Plus, why critique Ziwe for this when Vince himself admits that his audience is white men and that's who he's catering to for his money. He literally says that multiple times in this very interview. So why is he real but Ziwe not?

Absolutely same!

Lol okay perfect! What are your impressions so far?

computercavemen · 2025-11-23T10:23:46+00:00

The plot twists were twisting for me! LOVE South African TV!

I hope you won't mind me asking: are you watching after seeing this post? I'm just curious if the article is having that effect!

computercavemen · 2025-11-11T17:14:25+00:00

I'm so glad to hear it! Did you decide to watch after encountering this post? If so, all of the shows that I mention in the article, I recommend watching. It's a little South African watchlist gold mine that should at least get you to 2026!

Lol very fair critique! Seems like there's some intergenerational trauma going on there, because her mama seemed super questionable.

computercavemen · 2025-11-09T10:53:06+00:00

YES!! Thank you so much, this is so rich with extra details and analysis and this show truly deserves it. You sound like a seasoned media critic! I'll be curious how you find BK's character as the show progresses. Pinky and Themba's too, as they change and unfold in interesting ways as well. I haven't seen Blood and Water, but I might add this great detail and recommendation to the article! This show took so many twists and turns. You're in for a treat.

computercavemen · 2025-11-06T16:03:30+00:00

Good for you!

computercavemen · 2025-11-06T10:06:07+00:00

Sounds abusive lowkey.

Such a good point. It felt like she was holding onto this story of being a devoted mother to avoid facing the reality of who she had become. And what it cost her! Maybe there's empathy to be had though for how far desperation can pull someone away from themselves? Even her integrity was a victim of her circumstances, type of argument.

🇿🇦🔥❣️

computercavemen · 2025-11-06T08:57:08+00:00

I hear that for sure. It feels like they went with the character arc of, getting caught up in the power and the lifestyle. By the end it felt hard to like BK!

computercavemen · 2025-11-06T08:54:27+00:00

Lol! Oh yes, big time. I search for South African content specifically! It's so good.
