Albert Hughes talks about his experience as a black man depicting racist dialogues in its storyline. Hughes, who is biracial, explains that understanding the intention behind the creator is crucial. Drawing from his own experience with 'The Good Lord Bird,' a story dealing with slavery and a biracial lead, Hughes finds it essential to portray historical accuracy, even if it involves uncomfortable dialogues. However, he warns about being careful with black stories that are completely controlled by white people, pointing out the risk of black creators being used for the sake of diversity rather than an honest presentation of the narrative. Despite the setbacks, Hughes remains proud of the work he did and hopes to continue telling important stories.
