And this episode is exactly why THT is pure white feminism. Let’s villainize a dark-skinned brainwashed Black woman only trying to survive --- and let’s have the direct result of her trying to navigate this society be the hanging of ANOTHER black woman --- terrorize her, then shoot her while June gets pleasure from it and call it “colour-blind” and “post-racial” and “diversity”. This is why I only watch for Nick and June but Nick is gone so I’m just done. I’m soooooooo done.

Also, if Ofmatthew is not there to finally explore or point out some actually believable racial issues in Gilead I’m going to be pissed.

What her story should be, is that this pious nonsense is just an act, just fear - you know like they ALL did in season 1 to protect themselves? Yeah remember that? I also noticed the Wife that was holding Ofmatthew’s baby looked like she was of Southeast Asian descent. It would be interesting if there were layers of privilege within the handmaids and wives/commanders. And they were trying to other anyone that wasn’t white. It’s just not believable that a group of religious zealots that literally categorizes people into colors to indicate their position, has done away with racism.
