1. An Open Response from Tracy Oliver & Issa Rae

   Some of our viewers may have been offended by some of the language in our recent episode. We take this matter especially to heart, considering the CFC and members of the LGBT community were among the first to embrace ‘The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl.’

   Since our first episode debuted in February this year, ‘Awkward Black Girl’ has received an incredible outpouring of support from hundreds of thousands of fans. We love and appreciate each and every one of our fans! In return, we strive to provide a show that uses irreverent comedy and humor to address the oftentimes uncomfortable situations that many people have experienced at some point or another in their lives.

   In creating a series of this nature, we are willing to accept the praise when the jokes work and the feedback when they may not.

   Sincerely, Issa & Tracy

       It’s disappointing to me because I was kinda hoping for an apology. Or at least an outright acknowledgement of what it...
