Issa Rae is smack-dab in the middle of production on season three of HBO’s Golden Globe-nominated Insecure. While the co-creator, co-showrunner, and star sees the success of her afro-centric exploration of young black Los Angelinos as a blessing, she also experiences a large portion of that responsibility as a toll. Heavy weighs the crown, and fortunately for us—Rae doesn’t mind sharing what that’s like, as we eagerly anticipate a whole new season of Issa, Molly, and Lawrence trying to navigate their 20s.
Being a triple threat—funny, beautiful, talented—might seem like the winning lottery ticket, but it ain’t always easy. “So many actors have the luxury of just going in to play a part, and I just feel like I know too much sometimes,” said Rae in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “I wish I could turn my brain off!”

She's one ugly bitch
Someone please tell that hoe her father is African. Take your long ass overbite to his country and judge the black men there!
After SJW Nazi's are done with whites they'll go after afican american guys what's next? Asian guys? Dumb feminazi's and racists
Issa man…not convinced she is even a woman
Issa Rae is so ugly.
Lets have a black male producer touch on lack of femininity as it applies to black men. Would that be black woman bashing??? No lets do it!
Mane….fukk these bitches.
So it's going to be Moonlight the series.
So many brothas in the comments are shook. You're reinforcing her point.
Hop out your feelings. We got work to do.
What that even mean, she just be throwing out liberal buzz words like a rap battle freestyle. Articulate.
Oh no…. I hope this doesn't go the way it normally go….
i dont want to be gay. i am a straight black male
Translation another white male produced black girl attacking black men …when was the last time we challenge toxic white male masculinity.
Why she look like a recent crackhead tho
IT'S A TV SHOW !!! IT'S NOT REAL. IT'S MAKE BELIEVE. IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS PEOPLE. GET A GRIP!!!. YOU ALL WILL BE OK. TAKE A DEEP BREATH!!! 🤣🤣🤣
When since blk women have masculinity? Like she trippin hard, they wanna be the men now. So yall wanna be masculine and be feminine at the same time smh
the roots went down this same road, attacking straight black men! saying "black male masculinity is toxic" then twitter created a hashtag #therootsarticle where folks spoofed on there pathetic twisted point of view. 😂 the real question to ask and do a show about is why certain groups feel so threatened by straight black males?
being a sbm and knowing the data and having folks like tone talks and yvette carnell bringing more data! straight black males are jailed at a higher rate, unemployed at a higher rate! killed at a high rate! so why fare the group that is blocked from being in the race? yes why? fear! the white male paranoia wants to get rid of any "potential" perceived "threat"
the straight black female has been brainwashed by systemic racism to believe that sbm are a threat too them, only woke sistas! know this is not the case! peace!
as far as rae not sure if she ment this as a joke, maybe in her circle in her mind not enough sbm are flirting with her, there are so many factors that could be causing this.
o and on a biological tip! miss rae may need a refresher, we have testosterone which makes us manly!
🗑🗑🗑
Making it not preachy…good luck with that
We get it black men ain't shit. We been told and shown this our whole lives.
Get dis bish tfoh
Im glad because Hollywood likes to put black men in skirts
“Toxic Black Male masculinity”? 🤔
Hopefully there's none of that Gay shit around this season 👍🏾
After she basically said black women should stop dating black men and date asians…
Be advised lil' ugly, fire ant face having "half-frican" feminist , STRAIGHT BLACK MEN AINT TAKING NO MORE BULLYING FROM YOU OR YOUR LGBT COMRADES. You want our attention , you got it.
This bitch cheated and hoed around for 2 seasons she created the toxic shit bruh n she blind lol this how clueless women can be
If you mute the video and just pay attention to Natasha he video gets a lot better
So this means they're going to try to dismantle, demasculate Black masculinity because to Black women, being a man or manly of being proud of your manhood is dangerous, evil and sexist.
this is why tv is just shit with antennas, really. these Black women would hate my guts because i fucking love being a man, unabashedly, because there's absolutely nothing wrong with being one.
you have a mental disease to think otherwise.
As i and many other black men have been saying. The black woman is the biggest race traitors on the planet. No wonder why black men marry everything but they bitter feminist trash ass.
only white people like her that's why she runs around saying dumb shit
I can’t stand this bitch at this point. “Toxic masculinity” isn’t a real thing. There are already terms to describe men who abuse or are physically, mentally or emotionally detrimental to their counterparts.
Lmao look how scared all u guys are
Fuck Issa Rae. They're tryna feminize all black men. A lot of single mothers have done part of the work. The media is trying to finish it. 🖕🏾 that bitch
Black males please stop being overly sensitive when the Topic is about black hyper-masculinity & how black women are affected by it. When black women show strength and its shown in our bodies we're called manly as if its the ultimate problem in the black community. We as black women have to carry more weight on our shoulders than any other race of woman. We get told being too independent having high standards & being the bread winners is the problem with why we cant keep find a black man but when we're coddling, progesting holding our black males hands then we're called the issue to black males being soft. Blamed for having kids with black men blamed for raising black boys alone as if black women had sex with no black man and his sperm didn't willingly enter an unprotected vagina. We're called out for speaking on black male behavior bc black males rather Point at black women to take the heat off them. We're held accountable responsible for everything we do & black males can do no wrong or it was their single mothers fault
Eurostep right by this nonsense.
Tease deez nutz 🥜
Most black """""women""""" look like men.
🤷🏾♂️
Just imagine men making tv shows about "toxic femininity". The fucking world would explode.
The feminist wench is right where she needs to be
In other words to say something negative about Black masculinity and Black men. And the only way not to be toxic as a Black person is to either not be a man or not be heterosexual. Her handlers have her in full control.
What the hell would she know about Black masculinity.
This bout to be some bedwench shit. Watch.
Throw this whole bitch away…
No mistakes.
Intetested to know how she defines "Toxic Black Masculinity".
In Relation to…
This.
One is in response to the other.
And, vis versa.
Natasha is a 6/10.
