babyfairy: even if poussey DID still die they could’ve handled it so differently….like in the midst of all the police brutality that’s been shown on the news in the past few years and you chose to make it a fucking accident? chose to make the audience try and feel sorry for the dumbass white that did it? lmfao i’m so tired of white writers using our pain and trauma for their own fucking profit that’s what really kills me about the explanation as a whole. they took our experiences and our pain and tried to humanize her murderer? they really. tried to make the audience feel sympathetic for a murder and actual living representation of racial injustice in the US of A. and they’re trying to hide behind the idea of making a bold statement or some sort of social commentary and yet… they made the entire thing an accident? what kind of statement are you making if someone can just disregard it by saying “it could be racial injustice… but it was also an accident! so maybe not” which, in terms of criticism, that’s a solid argument for disregarding a message! it just don’t! add up!! i’m trying to do the math but all i’m getting is OITNB + the OITNB writing team = trash

They weren’t trying to make you feel sympathetic towards the guard that accidentally killed her. They were trying to demonstrate actual events that have happened like her saying she can’t breathe reminding us of Eric garner and taystee going through the whole prison yelling they didn’t even say her name like Sandra bland. Or what started it the peaceful protest that turned violent because the guards felt underminded and “threatend” reminds us of furgeson that started as peaceful protests then the police decided itd be a good idea and escalte a harmless event into something violent by bringing riot police. And showing that Caputo felt sorry for the guard who was in his eyes a good person they were trying to show that yeah some people felt like that, that the guard was put into a horrible situation but that doesn’t make it right and he should have faced concesequences but because of people in power he turned into the victim. Through out the whole season they were trying to reflect and represent real events that have happened fairly recently. If you can’t see that then you weren’t really paying attention. They even had people saying black lives matter and then also showing others trying to say “oh they have latin pride and black pride why can’t there be white pride” or chanting “white lives matter” they aren’t shoving in your face like hey its in here so you have to believe it and stand by it they are just representing how other people think and feel.
