How Redlining Shaped Communities (They Cloned Tyrone) || Netflix’s “They Cloned Tyrone” introduced a lot of people to The Glen -- one of many impoverished black neighborhoods in Atlanta, Georgia. And for a lot of African Americans that live in neighborhoods like The Glen -- aka the hood and ghettos -- They Cloned Tyrone has elements in its sci-fi blaxploitation that paint a great picture of its history with redlining and segregation, and even how it’s been affected by the likes of public school systems, sex work and the war on drugs.
