‘Atlanta’ Just Introduced Us to Craig, the Most Annoying White Dude Ever

Tuesday night’s episode of “Atlanta” reached a new level of irony with Craig — the wokest white man we all love to hate.

Van (Zazee Beets) drags Earn (Donald Glover) to a very bougie Juneteenth party at the ginormous home of Monique and Craig — because Van needs to rub elbows with Monique and her friends to advance her career after being fired for smoking marijuana.

The celebration was pretty surreal, featuring black servants, slave ship decorations and a drink called “plantation master poison.”

Craig then tries to dap up Earn in a friendly greeting to show that he’s down (cool with black people), but it ends up being very awkward and uncoordinated.

At some point, Earn finds himself wandering into Craig’s study, where he observes a very dark picture of a man stabbing an eagle.

After Monique’s husband offers Earn a “real drink” and hands him a glass of Hennessy (we’ll let that one pass), he notices a picture of Craig in Africa and asks him if he’s an archeologist or an African Studies student or something.

Craig’s poetry takes a page out of Billie Holiday’s book and references her song “Strange Fruit” while saying “Jim Crow is haunting me.”

In a bonding moment between Monique and Van, the former discloses that Craig insulted her 95-year-old grandmother by telling her she was cooking her collard greens wrong.

Craig’s only saving grace in this episode was when his pretentious wife described Alfred/Paper Boi as a “trifling thug,” a sentiment that we could clearly see offended Craig.
