11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: Subject He's fired and I'm under new management. Dear Stephen Shirley,

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm a forty one year old white lady and I

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: work in corporate America with a very good job. I

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: go to work dressed like a million bucks every day

15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: because I had I had helped buying my designer pieces.

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: I always start at the top one I date, and

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: I've never dated a man that is beneath me. A

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: man isn't even beneath me when we are having sex.

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm always on top and everything I do. I have

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: a sub and he likes the best of everything. I

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: work hard to keep him in a lifestyle that I

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: didn't have growing up. At work, I'm an executive and

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: I report to the president of the company. I had

24
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: a private affair with the last president of my company,

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: and he slipped up and his wife found out about me.

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: She didn't let him know anything. She went straight to

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: the board members of our company, and he would let go.

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: I felt terrible about it, and he wanted to continue

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: the affair, but it would have put my job in jeopardy,

30
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 1: so I moved on and prayed that the gossip woulden league.

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: Nine months later, we have a new interim president and

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: he's black. I love a man in power, and he's

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: not all that handsome, but he can dress and he

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: carries himself as though he runs the world. I guess

35
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: that he hasn't heard the gossip because he has already

36
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: asked me to go to lunch with him to give

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: him an overview of the day to day operations. Could

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: it be that I'm at the executive level and he

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: wants to hear from a manager, or is it because

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: he's interested in me. The best part is that he

41
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: is single and he is the interim president, so legally

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: we can do anything we want. He said, he's picked

43
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: the perfect place for us to go where we can

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: talk without distractions and he can get to know me.

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: Does this sound like he's coming onto me? Or is

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: this a professional lunch? Okay? Really, you already know, you

47
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: already know what the deal is. He asked you to

48
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: go out, and he's picked the place where you won't

49
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: be distracted and he can get to know you. That

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: is not lunch. That's a date. Okay, that is a date.

51
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: And surely you know that. You see that you are new.

52
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: You're not new at this dating thing. You're not certainly

53
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: not new at dating your bosses. I mean, isn't that

54
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: how it starts? You know, when they ask you to

55
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: go out like that, That's how it starts, right. So

56
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: my question to you is, what is your goal? Do

57
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: you want to get married eventually? Do you want to

58
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: be in a relationship? Do you just want to do

59
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: all the presidents in the company? I mean, what is

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: your goal? You're doing all that you're doing for a reason.

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: You wear designer clothes every day, you have a stylist

62
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: to pick out your designer pieces. You've never dated beneath you.

63
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: You're always on top, you say, even in the bedroom,

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: you sound very confident, very self assured, which is a

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: good thing of course, no self esteem problems here. But

66
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: my question still remains, what is your goal? What do

67
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: you want? Have you just written Steve and I to

68
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: brag or is there a means to the end. I

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: really don't think you would just be putting this much

70
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: effort into anything if you weren't purpose driven. You just

71
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: want you just will not come right out and say

72
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: that that's what you want. You want us to think

73
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: that you got it all together or you're on top,

74
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: as you say, but with no endgame in mind, that

75
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. You want to snag one of these

76
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: company presidents so you can continue your lifestyle and level up.

77
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: That's why, for sure, you are definitely gonna go out

78
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: to lunch with this new guy in hopes that he

79
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: could be the one that you finally get. Otherwise, why

80
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: would you even mention that he's single and it's legal.

81
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: You guys could do whatever you want. Listen, I say,

82
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: enjoy your date with him, but when you write us,

83
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: please be honest about your intentions. You are trying to

84
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: get a president. That's what it is. Say what it is, Steve. Okay,

85
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: I've moved. Yeah, I don't feel like play it alone, right.

86
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: You know, no, listen, let me stop. This has nothing

87
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: to do with race, so let me clear that up.

88
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: So while I'm giving my answer, this answer would apply

89
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: to anybody. You made it racial because you wanted to

90
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: let us know you are forty one year old white lady,

91
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: and you wanted to let us know the color of

92
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: the new interim president. We wouldn't have known no different.

93
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: You could have just said this is how I am,

94
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: this is what I do, but you made it racial.

95
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm just the guy for it, Steve, let's go. Sixty

96
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: five years old, I'd have seen this movie before, so

97
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: let's go. You want to make it racial, and you

98
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: want to bank it what it is. Now Here he is.

99
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: This letter is about a white gold digger, so now

100
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: here we go. I'm a forty one year old white lady.

101
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why you thought of necessary to tell

102
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: us that, but fine. I work in corporate America with

103
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: a very good job. I go to work dress like

104
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: a million bucks every day because I had help buying

105
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: my designer pieces. I always start at the top when

106
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: I date. I've never dated a man that is beneath me.

107
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 1: A man isn't even beneath me when we having sex.

108
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm always on top in everything I do. Okay, white lady,

109
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: you better, you better explain this. White lady, I can't

110
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: call you by your name that you didn't give us,

111
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: that you described yourself as a white lady. Hang on,

112
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: black man, hang on, coming back more about the white

113
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: lady when we come back. That's right. Part two of

114
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: scene's response coming up in twenty three minutes after the

115
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: our subject. He got fired and I'm under new management.

116
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening

117
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: to the Steve Harvey Morning Show, all right, come on, Seve,

118
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: let's recap today's strawberry letter and finish up with your response.

119
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: Because I'm not in the mood today. I told you

120
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: anything to play, so I'm an call it like it is.

121
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: This is a letter is about a white gold digger.

122
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: And the reason I'm starting off the letter with this

123
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: is a white gold dicker, because this is how the

124
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: woman started her letter. Dear Steve and ship she talking

125
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: about both. I am a forty one year old white lady.

126
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: This ain't even necessary, but that's what you want to

127
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: make it about. I'm the guy fight, White ladies say,

128
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: I work in corporate America with a very good job.

129
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: I go to work dressed like a million bucks every

130
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: day because I had help buying my designer piece. But

131
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: we already know what that is. I also started at

132
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: the top when I date that I've never dated a

133
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: man beneath me. A man isn't beneath me, even when

134
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: we having sex. I'm always on top in everything I do. Okay,

135
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: white lady, I have a son and he likes the

136
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: best of everything too. He ain't you. I work hard

137
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: to keep him in a lifestyle that I didn't have

138
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: growing up. And she ain't talking about just working hard

139
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: at her y'all. She working hard to date from the

140
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: top and stay on top at work. I'm an executive

141
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: and I report to the president of the company. I

142
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: had a private affair with the last president of my company.

143
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: He slipped up and his wife found out about me.

144
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: She didn't let him know anything. She went straight to

145
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: the board members of our company and he was let go.

146
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: Now this, I can assure you, was this a white

147
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: lady moved. The president you were sleeping with was white

148
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: because the black lady ain't keeping nothing to her and

149
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: to the board. Oh no, this fitning to be a

150
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: corporate ass whipping on display black women take it to

151
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: the house, the parking lot, the church, Facebook, Facebook Live,

152
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: just the Graham, her brother, her cousins, everybody involved, So

153
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: I know they. I felt terrible about it, and he

154
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: wanted to continue. But continue? Why would I continue? You

155
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: ain't on top lo right, he don't date the meat.

156
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: But it would have put my job in jeopardy. How

157
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: would it put your job in? Jefandy? He gonna Now,

158
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: you didn't get put in jeopardy when he got fired,

159
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: So that's a lot. It wouldn't have put your job

160
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: in Jepandy. I'm gonna prove it to you. Nine months later,

161
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: we had a new interim president and he's black. Okay, Yeah,

162
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: tell us that I love a man in power. Yes,

163
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: you do, because you are golden. And he's not all

164
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: that handsome. But he can dress in him carrish himself

165
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: as though he runs the world. A lot of ugly

166
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: people in char Trump was in charge, in charge, I'm

167
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: in charge of this radio show. I ain't all that good.

168
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: Look at my damn. So I get it. But but

169
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: you said, but he can dress and he carves himself

170
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: and run the world. Yes, I do him. So now

171
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: you got this black dude. I guess that he hasn't

172
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: heard the gossip because he has already asked me to

173
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: go to lunch with him to give him an overrule

174
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: the day to day operation. Could it be here where

175
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: she tried to place it? Yeah? Could it be that

176
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: I'm at the executive level and he wants to hear

177
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: from a manager. Or is it because he's interested in me?

178
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: She tried to trick us. No, lady, it's you the ones.

179
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: See you the ones, and now let me show you something.

180
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: The best part is he's single and he's the interim president,

181
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: so legally we can do what we want. Souse. Just

182
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: a minute ago, the reason you would not day the

183
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: white man after he got fired was because you said

184
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: it would put you It would have put my job

185
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: in jeopardy. How he didn't work out no more? He

186
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: don't even work out no more. But now you haven't

187
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: figured out that the black dude says he's single and

188
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: he the interim president. It's fine, so legally we can

189
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: do what we want. That is no where in a
