Spoiler Alert: This article includes details about the series finale of “Clipped,” now streaming on Hulu.
The emperor with no clothes is still the emperor. That’s the ugly truth that FX’s “Clipped” arrives at in its series finale.
After Donald Sterling (Ed O’Neill) fails to block his wife Shelly (Jacki Weaver) from alleging her husband is mentally incapacitated and taking control of their family trust, Donald concedes to the sale of the Los Angeles Clippers to the rambunctious ex-Microsoft exec Steve Ballmer. With that, Donald also stops fighting against his lifetime ban from the NBA, imposed against him after TMZ publishes an audio recording of Sterling delivering a racist tirade to his assistant-mistress V. Stiviano (Cleopatra Coleman) chastising her for publicly associating with Black people.
For waving the white flag, the Sterlings are awarded $2 billion in the sale of the Clippers: an exponential return on the $12 million...

If you think about it, there’s no better place to premiere “Black Twitter: A People’s History” than at South by Southwest.
The three-part Hulu and Onyx docuseries based on Jason Parham’s similarly titled “Wired” story exists at the perfect intersection of entertainment, internet, and culture — just like SXSW itself.
“When I read the article, it was not only was only something that I love, that I participated in, but I saw the power of it,” director Prentice Penny told IndieWire during the conference. “It was sort of feeling like the way my mother talks about the Civil Rights Movement. That’s what I felt like was happening on Black Twitter.”
Along with being an active platform-formerly-known-as-Twitter user, Penny (whose profile welcomes users with the subhed “Fux Yo Blue Check”) was itching to do something different after “Insecure” — something that scared him.

A person who has spent most of his career “being anonymous, or nearly anonymous,” W. Kamau Bell is still adjusting to the attention that his CNN unscripted series United Shades of America has brought him. Beginning his artistic journey as a “live performer [and] podcaster, working on lots of small things,” Bell is now a two-time Emmy winner and five-time nominee, who has traveled the country with his latest series, offering nuanced discussions of such complex topics as racism and incarceration.
In the fourth season of United Shades, the host has looked to get smaller and more specific with his show, branching out from more general issues to cover a wide array of fascinating topics, while putting a lens to sections of the U.S. population that are lesser-known and little understood. Investigating megachurches in Dallas and the various facets of body politics, Bell also met with gun-toting liberals protecting themselves...
