I've just got around to watching the finale, and as a practitioner of the ATRS, it is incumbent upon to register my disappointment in the production team and @RonDMoore for producing this racist shit for television.

There are any number of ways they could have portrayed the African Traditional Religions, however they chose Hollywood's white washed view of MY religious traditions, instead of anything like historical accuracy, or for that matter anything congruent with truth.

There are any number of practitioners that could have advised them, but they chose to prey upon the traditional view of Europeans towards African religions instead of treating it with respect. I am so disappointed in their handling of this portion of the story, it's my lowest rated episode of this show, ever.

And after three seasons, I find myself questioning this show's integrity. Just to be clear: the kind of hodgepodge shit that you portrayed on screen borrowed from several traditions and did not portray any of them fairly or accurately.

#disappointedasfuck in all of them. The ATRs are not some hodgepodge you can borrow from to colour your story without committing to accuracy. How could they get it so wrong in 2017?

@sungoddess i think nobody care what you say.
Great season finale.

@hdfan Thank you for mansplaining and whitesplaing that for me.

I know you and 'nobody care', however you don't control what observations I make and or valid complaints I lodge in the Internet ether.

Which makes your comment vapid at best and unnecessary (dismissive and racist as well) at worst.

I am somebody. And I actually give a fuck, you can't dismiss my life experience because 'it was a great finale'.

I mean you can, but you really can't.
