This low self-esteem black guy act gets old. I like this show so far but the way they wrote Aldis Hodge part this time sucks big time. He could have just had it together and taken on saving the plane without the pep talk!
I don't think his self esteem had anything to do with his race, rather his age and lack of experience with exceptionally dangerous circumstances. While the show says nothing about his age at this point (and Aldiss looks in his thirties) Nate made a comment in the third or fourth season that Hardison was a 24 year old who had a problem with authority. Subtract three or four years from that, and you have Hardison here. 21 is very young, and considering (to this point) that most of Hardison's work is done inconsequentially behind a computer at his nana's, I don't think it's wildly inappropriate for him to need reassurance. Having watched the rest of the series every member has needed a pep talk at one point or the other, especially Parker.
Kinikya Hardison's lack of confidence is one of his character flaws. He'd really be an unbalanced character without it. I remember in one episode later on Hardison is insisting he could run his own team, and Nate tells him he doesn't have what it takes. What he's missing is the confidence needed to inspire others to be their best. Thats what he needs Nate and the team for the most.
