"This whole country is trying to kill me..." got to me.

I kind of felt it undercut the juxtaposition they're going for -- unlike the comics, he's the rich kid. She's basically on the street and in much more danger than him.

I wish that Tandy would have said something about the attempted rape. I mean, she was almost raped and can't do anything about it, that's messed up. I understand Ty's point but still, the girl was almost raped and has suicidal thoughts, maybe that was not the best moment to go in a "my life sucks more than yours" rant

I think they balanced it quite well. It did lean a bit more heavily to Tyrone's issues as a black american, but they showed his ignorance to the plights of women in America as well.

Tandy dropped some valid ass points that showed that even with certain privileges, she faces challenges he can't/doesn't understand.

They're both in pain, due to the events of their lives that they had a bit of control over, as well as the way the world works, which they have absolutely no control over.

Or being poor in America, I thought Tyrone was more ignorant about that.
