Speaker 1: It's topic times called eight hundred five five one five
Speaker 1: one to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: Morning everybody in cj Envy Charlamagne the Guide. We are
Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club now if you just join us. We're
Speaker 2: talking about an incident that we've seen happen at Costco.
Speaker 2: I guess a lady was body shamed because of the
Speaker 2: way that she looked in attire, and her coworkers might
Speaker 2: not have looked the same way.
Speaker 3: Right now, we're asking eight hundred five eight five one
Speaker 3: oh five one.
Speaker 2: We're just talking about our culture and the fact that
Speaker 2: you know, usually our women are more thicker black women, is.
Speaker 3: What you're saying.
Speaker 4: So is this a regular thing women go through that
Speaker 4: your body shape makes your tire look inappropriate? We got
Speaker 4: aj and Tam Bam from the We Talked Back podcasting.
Speaker 3: Hell, that's a question, Larry Lady.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, man, We've been going through that whole lives for real,
Speaker 5: in a real way. I think women of other ethnic
Speaker 5: cities get away with a lot more. I think Black
Speaker 5: women and girls are over sexualized from a very young age.
Speaker 5: So it is a real thing, and a lot of
Speaker 5: the disrespect come from other women now, So I deal
Speaker 5: I dealt with that in a corporate setting. You know,
Speaker 5: my clothes might look a little better on me, may
Speaker 5: not be inappropriate. But and this was coming from other women,
Speaker 5: though black women in particular, bigger black women.
Speaker 4: In this morning, I saw the sanitation workers losing their mind.
Speaker 4: They looking good girl early in the morning in New York.
Speaker 4: But that's just jealousy though, right the other women, the
Speaker 4: women they see you come into corporate workplace. You might
Speaker 4: have on the same dress that they have, on the
Speaker 4: same outfit that they have on, but because of your
Speaker 4: body shape, they probably just feel jealous or intimidated.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: One of another producer of Iour said she used to
Speaker 2: deal with that in school. So I guess it was
Speaker 2: a uniform that she had to wear. And she said that,
Speaker 2: you know, when she was younger, she was a lot
Speaker 2: thinner up top and bigger on the bottom. And when
Speaker 2: she wore the uniform that the other girls and have
Speaker 2: a problem. But when teacher pulled it to the side,
Speaker 2: I was like, you can't wear that, and she was like,
Speaker 2: this is the uniform. I can't wear anything else where.
Speaker 2: They actually took her to the principal. She said, thank god,
Speaker 2: the principle was black and was like, no, this is
Speaker 2: her body.
Speaker 3: She can do it. And she was like the white
Speaker 3: teacher made a big fuss about it, like there's boys
Speaker 3: in there, this bois of that. But she was like,
Speaker 3: this is my body.
Speaker 4: White teacher ain't got no ass. That's just jealousy. The
Speaker 4: white teacher ain't got no hips. That's just jealousy.
Speaker 5: And her husban there on whatever the porn site ws.
Speaker 6: You know, women are made very conscious of their body
Speaker 6: from very young. I remember my mom would tell me
Speaker 6: a story when I was little and they were like,
Speaker 6: she's too big to be in a panther. Still, well,
Speaker 6: you need to take her out of paper.
Speaker 7: She's like that, ain't no pamp I.
Speaker 8: Don't know, no, maybe not.
Speaker 7: Maybe I just looked like I had one.
Speaker 3: Okay, I know what you say.
Speaker 2: Wearing what you said, you was saying you were in
Speaker 2: a panther now, but but you're saying that it looked
Speaker 2: like you had a papa.
Speaker 6: Like I had a pamper on it was like bomb Square,
Speaker 6: We had a homeboy, like do y'all know Dre?
Speaker 3: What Dre?
Speaker 4: We used to call dra dirty diaper because I remember
Speaker 4: that I didn't used to call him that way, when
Speaker 4: when when you call him that, no I know used
Speaker 4: to call them that.
Speaker 3: Well, let's listen.
Speaker 4: I do feel like that when when someone says that
Speaker 4: to a woman, they're just acknowledging how they see them,
Speaker 4: so they're sexualizing, exactly objectifying them.
Speaker 3: Very young Ashley, good morning, good morning. How you feeling.

Speaker 9: but fitted dresses. Yep, and she's sicker and there was
Speaker 9: girls in there, mind you, with her hanging out their
Speaker 9: after their body open, their sea grew. But they made
Speaker 9: her all need to bring her sweater to put around
Speaker 9: her waist because her.
Speaker 3: But was m that's crazy.

Speaker 10: her get escorted into the front door, and they literally
Speaker 10: made her stand there with escorts until I got there

Speaker 12: but it's not.
Speaker 3: She said. You kind of get used to it or
Speaker 3: what it's not right, But she said it's not right.

Speaker 5: wear like a thicker material if you and in an.
Speaker 7: Environment like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but leggings amongst mostly men out that we have
Speaker 5: to consider those things as women.

Speaker 6: to change their attire? Like the men need to change
Speaker 6: their mindset?
Speaker 7: Like focus on your not very support it's important.
Speaker 3: I agree with you. But what if it's hard for
Speaker 3: them to focus.
