There's only one, young grasshoppers.
As you can see, I'm totally down to discuss the terrible depictions of Black men and women in cinema, but damn son... were you jealous or something when I did it? Did you start paying attention and realize I was onto something? Why were you at MY neck for critiquing our cinematic depictions?

Beyond all that, a word of unsolicited advice... this might go over better if you make the critique about the specific person you're dealing with rather than saying "black women" as a whole, because a black males were behind "dear white people" and "empire." This is less about who's producing, writing and directing than who's giving the green light to these specific depictions.
