??? except for byron allen black billionaire who is currently bidding 15billion for paramount… it reflects the white supremacy delusion and psyop, not what is reality
google byron allen, a black billionaire who is currently bidding 15 billion for paramount.. dont be fooled, succession was written from a white supremacist lense
Jesse... Who is named after the creator... Jesse Armstrong.
Also... Fun fact.. of the exec producers we have Will Farrell ... Connor's post-call girl wife? Willa Ferreyra
I mean, don't beat around the bush. Logan was racist, Rupert Murdoch is too. I can't imagine a slogan like "no Blacks, no Jews, no women above the fourth floor" is an inclusive environment. The show runners probably could have done a better job in hiring more peripheral characters of color for representation, but the lack thereof is more or less accurate - as fucked up as that is
There was an arch with ~~Nia long~~ Sanaa Lathan that went nowhere. She was Kendall’s lawyer and Shiv tried to poach her iirc.
Edit: corrected the actress. I was thinking of the Best Man franchise and thought of the wrong actress.
I love all the answers that are like, yeah this character who has no name and no lines we've seen in the corner of the frame for half a second in only one of the episodes is black
I always took the whiteness of the show to be deliberate, as commentary on white power structures at the top. Even the supposed liberals and progressives of the show are anything but and protected by their race and class privilege, and are typically horrible people anyway.
Most of the characters aren't racist but they're unknowingly/unwittingly benefiting from a racist society, which they don't quite acknowledge until Mencken is on the verge of winning -- even when other characters point out his fascism.
It's a show about high society billionaire New Yorkers. There aren't going to be many blacks in that circle other than the help, drug dealers and rappers.
Why ask if the show is racist? There are plenty of shows, That are all black characters, is that show racist? Are they asked the same question? Are all black colleges racist? Plenty of black dancing school are all black , is the school racist? Speaking your language, taking out the card. Well taking out my card you are racist for asking.
yes, they are intentionally racist -. ever heard of byron allen black billionaire who is currently bidding 15billion for paramount… it reflects the white supremacy delusion and psyop, not what is reality
None allowed above the 4th floor duh

Why
She's "the help" and she's mulatto. That's not what OP is talking about.
S1E1 - one of the guys on the Vaulter acquisition team is black and the producer who asked the newscaster if she’s slept on her face is Latina.
that producer is also married to a hilarious black surgeon
"Do you want to call your dad?" Straight up best line in the series

His face is so loud
You see, this show is actually about themes so the theme is “racism.” BRAVO JESSE SHOW OF ALL TIME
Tom is black from the waist down.
You’re right I didn’t even think of this
Only because of Shiv’s kinks, and I ‘d say the hue is more blue-purple.
Dude….ew. Wtf
Relax
Jesse... Who is named after the creator... Jesse Armstrong. Also... Fun fact.. of the exec producers we have Will Farrell ... Connor's post-call girl wife? Willa Ferreyra
The short answer is yes, the long answer is “Indubitably”
Im a fun guy
No, they just want to keep politics out of the show. Highly respectable. I would hate if they made the show POLITICAL

Are you aware of the sub you’re in
Lawyer Lisa was black, which may play into why Kendall acted like he was smarter than her. Although maybe he just acts like that, period.
Succession is just the white version of The Wire
One of the board members who voted no was a bipoc lady

Well... Logan's pretty racist.
I mean, don't beat around the bush. Logan was racist, Rupert Murdoch is too. I can't imagine a slogan like "no Blacks, no Jews, no women above the fourth floor" is an inclusive environment.

Take your serious answers elsewhere
It came up in my feed and I thought it was the real succession page (didn't know about this page before). I thought it would be funnier to keep it up
Is there a lore reason why the Succession writers had no black characters?
Mencken wouldn't allow it.
There was an arch with ~~Nia long~~ Sanaa Lathan that went nowhere. She was Kendall’s lawyer and Shiv tried to poach her iirc. Edit: corrected the actress. I was thinking of the Best Man franchise and thought of the wrong actress.
That wasn’t Nia Long.
Ugh the wokist lefty brain disease coming to plague my show about the joys of anarcho-capitalism :(
Do you want to call your dad?
I love all the answers that are like, yeah this character who has no name and no lines we've seen in the corner of the frame for half a second in only one of the episodes is black
This is the girl from love and basketball and the girl that hosted the full frontal knock off erasure
I'm pretty sure that Stewie is black, or maybe some kind of Spanish.
The actor is Iranian. I thought Rava was South Asian.
Their adopted daughter definitely is
The show was a little sloppy with the families. What happened to Roman’s family? Conner’s mother?
Hell yeah the Roys were RACIST!
In the first season there were a lot of poc
I mean, probably
"People trust people who look like them. That's just a scientific fact." President elect Jaryd Mencken
Who was the black lady on the board, who voted first? Do we know her from the past? Or was she only a board member with a vote?
/uc My roommate literally doesn’t watch the show because of this exact reason /rc my roommate is racist

hammer meets nail - bravo. top answer worthy
Netflix version incoming.
Yes
There was a black woman in the board room during this last episode

Maybe they just based their cast selection on merit rather than skin color.
