It really does take us back to the days of lynching black people for KKK entertainment and I really think the writersproducers are obtuse and clueless about it. And all the people taking joy of it either don’t realize they’re racist monsters or do realize it and don’t care, either way they’re scum

As a fan of Iris it has been extremely hard to see that scene replayed over and over by the show. Furthermore, I have witnessed people who hate the character make light of the footage and pictures of that scene and use it as it some sick form of entertainment on youtube and facebook. The producers of this show are very shortsighted and myopic with a limited understanding of the cultural implications of the images they are producing. Can’t wait till this storyline is over and she is saved!
