I'm not gonna sit here and pretend the American Gods show was perfect but holy shit if you've never at least seen Orlando Jones as Anansi's speeches about historical and contemporary antiblack racism... well, here you go. (But warning, there are no minced words and obviously the subject matter is heavy, for lack of a better word, so it may be traumatizing)
But unfortunately, he was fired for literally being too effective in the role. Because they didn't want people to sympathize with him.
