Insecure

Insecure is a TV series that focuses on two main characters Issa and Molly who are two black women who want to be perceived as confident, successful, have everything figured out. In reality they possess many flaws and insecurities that seem to be brought out through their everyday experiences. But they also have to deal with the subtle and not so subtle racism and prejudice they experience as African American women. This racism and prejudice mainly occurs in their work places that are dominated by white people. Issa works for a non profit organization called "We Got Y'all" and Molly works in a law firm. The idea of We Got Y'all is pretty racist in itself because it's supposed to be an organization that helps people in "the hood" (primarily black and Hispanic people). In the opening scene of the first episode, the audience discovers that Issa is the only black employee at her job and she is the person her  white coworkers go to her to ask her questions like "What's on fleek?" (yes they literally ask her this to her face).  This particular scene is presented in a humorous, satirical way because to them Issa says "I don't know" but to the camera (the audience) she says "I know what that s**t means. But being aggressively passive is what I do best.  I used to keep a journal to vent but now I write raps." She is using sarcasm to critique the fact that black people have to deal with uncomfortable situations like that and not want to address the racism either because it's an awkward conversation or they are just used to it.
