0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.160

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>and for whatever reason, I had a migraine Saturday morning,

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Sunday morning, Monday morning. But Sunday I never left the

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>bed and my whole right side of my body was

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>doing something like without me even moving. It was like

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Paul satan All type of shit was going on.

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Don't you take drugs on Saturday night?

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>No, I didn't drink the entire weekend listen. I had

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>a very clean birthday. I went to my niece's graduation,

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>My youngest niece graduated from high school. Shout out CanYa,

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>congra baby on the stage. Okay, she graduated top of

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>her class and she better from Burke High School. Bitch,

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you better be at the top of the mouth anyway, girl.

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>It was so ratchet. I feel like I was at

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Coolie High. Okay. The graduation was Saturday, twelve o'clock. We

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>got there and I'm like, okay, are we at the

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>same event? Because why is bitch's ass out with baby

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>bumps in the front?

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 5>Like really?

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>And this is this is why later on in this

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>episode we talk about Sexy Red because I think they

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>was at the graduation. Sexy Red was at the graduation. Bitch,

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>you hear me? Who was looking like they was going

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>going to a cookout and then looking at you looking well, yeah,

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 1>probably they probably went straight from there to other probably

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>little family gatherings. But I fell out of place because

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I looked like an adult. And this is one of

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.119
<v Speaker 1>the you know, probably not the best school in Charleston.

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Downtown Charleston is almost fully gentrified. This is the last

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 1>black school downtown Charleston. All the other elementaries no black students.

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>My niece's school only had sixty five graduates from it,

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and I want to ask her, you know, what was

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>her freshman class number, like how many people was in

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the freshman class to kind of gauge how many people

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 1>should have been graduating or maybe they just no longer

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>live in the city. But I mean, it was terrible, y'all.

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>And I this we got we got some big problems

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>in the black community, and this, this, this graduation was

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>just a sample size of some real bullshit. One of

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:05.399
<v Speaker 1>the speakers is the president of Johnson C. Smith. She's

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>a Burke graduate from Charleston, South Carolina. Oh, I tell

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>you the ADHD in the building they sign and why

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the lady is talking. It was so embarrassing. Who's going

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 1>to talk to the children if y'all niggas ain't Because

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>if these are the families that these kids are coming from,

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>if it's sixty five graduates, half of them probably doomed. Yeah,

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>because these are the families raising him.

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because it's some weird shit going on. A young

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 3>man his grandmother reported him missing over the weekend, and

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 3>he wrote a disc track.

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 2>He made a dis song to her and released it.

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 3>It was calling her all kinds of hoes and saying

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 3>he ain't missing he's just running up his bag fifteen

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 3>years old, calling his grandma the hole in the song

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 3>because she reported her.

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I've seen that, and like he gonna pull up on

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>her with the blicky yeah.

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 3>And hurt his grandma for like reporting him missing is insane.

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 3>And where are the older men in his family who

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 3>are to course correct that, because somebody need to course

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 3>correct that.

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>But there is nobody, Nope, and even I know I

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>talked to you about this a little minute ago, but

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>this this dude in Charlotte murdered his forty three on

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>mom because she told him to go get a job

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>and killed me. He came back and shot her. Yes,

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>so now you don't have a mom to support you

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>while you're in prison.

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.599
<v Speaker 3>Just you should have just went and got the fucking job, right,

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 3>because now you're going to hate. But I think maybe

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.160
<v Speaker 3>this person must have had like some type of mental

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 3>health issues that wasn't being because who just killed their

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 3>mama for telling them they need a job?

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 2>It got to be something not right that correct.

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.279
<v Speaker 1>That other boy was a rapper and he murdered his

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 1>mom for life insurance policy to defund his career.

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 4>Like, I don't know what.

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 2>That's so superath behavior behavior, because.

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.479
<v Speaker 1>That graduation was disappointing. And you know, my niece, she

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.840
<v Speaker 1>did her things. She's going off to Klafling University in Orangeburg.

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>She's a very smart girl. Like when I tell you

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>hood babies be, they gonna make it. They gonna make it.

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>So I wish that class good luck. But I'm gonna

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 1>tell y'all a dulting is scamming. It's a scam likely, okay.

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, aside from that, my birthday was cool. We

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.599
<v Speaker 1>had a good dinner and shit, I carry my masks.

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.599

<v Speaker 1>There's too many people.

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 3>It's all the fucking people. And I'm trying to lose weight.

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.520

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>tastes I need. I'm trying to unbig my back. Let's

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 1>get into scenes of the week.

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 2>So if y'all were under a rock, y'all miss that.

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Michael Rainie Jr.

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Did Tyler James live stream and he was grown by

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 3>the streamer's sister live on the streaming. You could see

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 3>him like, go, my penis is being grabbed right now,

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 3>and she looking at him like what's up?

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:42.280
<v Speaker 2>And shit went viral.

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 3>Everybody was talking about it. The young man, Tyler James

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 3>tried to blow it over at first, but it got

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 3>so much attention that he issued an apology to Michael

0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 3>Rainie Jr. And then Michael Rainey Jr. Also said, you

0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 3>know that he was stilling talk about what happened, and

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 3>basically he was he was gonna let it blow over,

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 3>but he felt like if it was the other way around, it.

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Would be an issue, you know, and.

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 3>And it's not okay, and it ain't okay for her

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 3>to do that, to just grab that young man's uh

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 3>private and if it had been.

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 2>What's that nigga name, he would have kicked you in

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 2>the face. So what's his name?

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Gate?

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Kevin Gates would have kicked you in the face.

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 2>You can't just be grabbing people parts.

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Listen, what is The girl looked young as hell, She

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>looked younger than Mike Rainey.

0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but very aggressive, Like her face was very like,

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 2>what's up?

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think women actually have more more trouble

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>accepting rejection than men. M you know, because in our

0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:00.080
<v Speaker 1>minds not an hour because in that group, but in

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>some women's minds, you want to at least fuck me,

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>at least imagine somebody at the very least you want

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>to at least fuck me like that is definitely some

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>women's thought process. So when they are rejected, even for sex,

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 1>it's you're gonna have hell to reckon with as a

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 1>as a man. If it was on the other if

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 1>it was the other way around, he'd be in jail

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 1>right now, right That shit is never okay. Stop touching

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>people if it's not invited, man or woman, anybody. Yeah,

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>And to do it on live and make him feel

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.080
<v Speaker 1>visibly uncomfortable, you literally sexually assaulted him in front of

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.440
<v Speaker 1>the whole world. You gotta be a shaming yourself.

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you ought to be embarrassed. I'm sure she is

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 3>somewhere embarrassed. She did not issue an apology. She's probably

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 3>somewhere hiding in shame for embarrassing her brother.

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, he says she's no longer.

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Michael Rainey's like, what makes you think you got access

0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>to that, to that anyway? Like like this, ain't even

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.840
<v Speaker 1>no regular at the house that might butt you down

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:04.079
<v Speaker 1>right quick, right?

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 2>That was crazy to do it, nut, no pun intended.

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:19.440
<v Speaker 1>It's nuts. So y'all the internet is getting even more spooky. Okay,

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Meg the Stallion has a sex tape. It's not her, though,

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 1>It's an a I created sex tape of Meg thee Stallion.

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Meg thee Stallion's performance of Florida proved more emotional than

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>most fans probably expected, because Meg barely held back tears

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>right before playing one of her hits. When the beat starts,

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Meg tries to launch into the song, but can't even

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.520
<v Speaker 1>get through the first few bars before stopping to collect

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.960
<v Speaker 1>herself once again. Her fans share on and writing added

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the video by the person filming shows love for MTS,

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 1>so her fans didn't seem upset by the star needing

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to let her feelings out, so she went and tweeted

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days ago, It's really sick how y'all

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.680
<v Speaker 1>got y'all way to hurt me when you see me winning,

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>y'all go too far, fake ass shit. Just know today

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 1>was your last day playing with me, and I mean it.

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 1>So somebody created a fake AI video of Meg thee

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Stallion having sex. I hadn't seen it. I didn't even

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>try to look forward for real, even though I would

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.959
<v Speaker 1>like to see you make the actual, the actual Maga

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>having sex. I would like to see that, but if

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 1>it's fake, I you know. But anyway, the amount of

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>people who thought that shit was real, who was talking crazy, yes,

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.320
<v Speaker 1>saying crazy shit to her about how she all head

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>these crocodile down tears, and you wasn't saying that when Tori,

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 1>when you put Torri and Joe, it's that lady gets

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>too much hate. It's diskysting how much hate she gets.

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 3>But that's why I'm glass glad how blessed she is,

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 3>because the hate is equivalent to the blessings at this point.

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 2>It's just absolutely extreme.

0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 3>What I'm you know, I hate that that happened to her,

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 3>but I'm glad it's not her real body, obviously, But

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 3>what we need to be concerned with is why are

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.239
<v Speaker 3>we not out in the streets about.

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:09.680
<v Speaker 2>This AI shit.

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 3>This ship is scared real and we are just very

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 3>very taking it on the chin, very much, taking it

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 3>on the chin that we are allowing this AI reality

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 3>to be a thing in our culture. It should be

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.839
<v Speaker 3>demolished in some way. It's gonna take over us. We

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 3>are going to be second class citizens in our in

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 3>our country to AI.

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so y'all keep playing.

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.559
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk tweeted, you know how we're not tweeted he's

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 1>actually challenging Apple because they want to put chappie Chat

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 1>GPT onto iPhones, like within this new update, which is

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of shit coming with this new update

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 1>for iPhone. I'm considering switching back to Android because that

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 1>was never an Apple girl. Okay, I know business people

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 1>prefer Apple, but y'all might see this green bubble pop

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:10.439
<v Speaker 1>back up on y'all shit. But yeah, like people don't

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>realize how this is bad.

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:13.439
<v Speaker 2>This is terrible.

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:18.199
<v Speaker 1>It does help move humanity forward some because we would

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 1>like to think that the that there there's a human

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:25.440
<v Speaker 1>programming the computer. But at some point it's gonna be

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>not just artificial intelligence, it's going to be artificial and

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>artificial consciousness. You know what I'm saying. This is why

0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 1>you have apps like Clubhouse. They are getting our vocals,

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:41.079
<v Speaker 1>our voices, how we sound, how it elevates when we're mad.

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 1>They have all these different apps out here studying real

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 1>human interaction so that we can be replaced. You not,

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:50.920
<v Speaker 1>And in a minute, you're not gonna know what the

0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 1>fuck you're looking at online anymore. You know, nothing's true,

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>everything's false because you just don't know what the fuck

0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 1>is happening. You don't know what's real, what's fake?

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 3>Right, And it's gonna a robot sitting outside your door

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.319

<v Speaker 3>gonna get shot now.

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Then what you're gonna do?

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 1>They already have robots policing people. Yeah, places, Yeah, it's RoboCop.

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.680
<v Speaker 3>This motherfucking robot car is our robot, bitch, And shit

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 3>gonna get real, like so we all gonna be living

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 3>in a motherfucker sewer because y'all wanted to make the

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 3>style your fuck with an AI apple.

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 2>See keep playing the only.

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.959
<v Speaker 1>Thing I want to do with AI is make songs

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 1>like bb ol Drinzy bbyl Drenzy.

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 2>That's the start of it. That is the start.

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to do that for sure.

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Do we have any other suits?

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, okay, y'all, I don't know. Do you do dating apps?

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 2>I used to, but it just never worked out for me,

0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.120
<v Speaker 2>so I stopped swiping. I'm tired. I feel like I'm

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 2>talking to AI person. It's just the same conversation over

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.199
<v Speaker 2>and over again with a different face.

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Or a scammer. Because the last dat and app I

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 1>actually tried to get on with Sugar Babies whatever that

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>shit is, and it was a bunch of scammers from

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Africa and shit on there. It was nobody, nobody for

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>real on those.

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 4>Apps, right.

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I saw this story on the Shade Room. So black

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:29.720
<v Speaker 1>women are taken to TikTok to express their dissatisfication with

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the dating apps. So dating apps have forever changed the

0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>landscape of dating, of the dating scene as we know it. However,

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>some claim that the algorithms could be biased towards certain races,

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 1>so it says several black women have claimed that the

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Hinge dating app is pushing their profiles to the bottom

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 1>of the dating pool. A recent TikTok train revealed that

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 1>some women saw better matches when they changed their ethnicity

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>to Caucasian in their settings. Both men and women are

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 1>stepping in to the shade room to share their experiences.

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 4>D D.

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't watch the full video. I didn't go watch

0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 1>because they actually had people like, you know, different people talking.

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>But okay, so you change your preference, I mean not preference.

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:16.400
<v Speaker 1>You change your demographic right to Caucasian, and then all

0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden different types of men start popping up,

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 1>is what I'm gathering is happening. So me, black girl,

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>put my picture up. I'm not having access to the

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 1>same pool of men until I change my and my

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 1>settings to Caucasian. I can I can see these well,

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the company's doing some shit like.

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 3>That, but can't the men put is there a preference

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 3>on race on there?

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I believe so you could put like what you so?

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so maybe I think the men that you are

0:15:52.360 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 3>seeking are looking for right, So yes, and I so

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 3>that it might you might be seeing these men because

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 3>they put Caucasian women, that's what they're interested in, and

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.359
<v Speaker 3>that's now why you're seeing them.

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Right, Like who you're in right and I'm wondering if

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:18.560
<v Speaker 1>they are seeing is it white men that start popping

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 1>up or other nice looking black men? Maybe right, maybe

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe their preference can also be white. They might have

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:27.520
<v Speaker 1>it to what they don't want their preference to be

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 1>black women. We already know we got a problem with

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>these niggas. I don't know what. I don't know what

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>more what?

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 4>What are you?

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 1>What do y'all really want? You know what I'm saying,

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not telling you to go date white men, But

0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 1>there's other groups of people we can start exploring. You know,

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>if you're having having problems dating amongst your own right,

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you have to start exploring. We don't have to. We

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>don't we knocking a dialog. We don't have to. Right, So,

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 1>if you're on a dating app and you feel like

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you're not even being chosen a dating app, I think

0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 1>part of it is internal, right, because I think if

0:16:59.920 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 1>you if you let's just say it, if you are

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.879
<v Speaker 1>a pretty girl, there's gonna be white women. I mean,

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, there's gonna be white men, black men, whoever

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.920
<v Speaker 1>man they in m DMS, they're gonna be messaging your ass.

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.640
<v Speaker 1>So that goes into a whole nother thing. Like maybe

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you're not being picked in real world

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and online. What can anybody do about that? Because men,

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that's what goes back to saying, like women, we don't

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 1>like feeling rejected, but people have preference, and people are

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 1>allowed to have preference.

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 3>But just we imagine being mad enough about a dating

0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 3>app to sue to.

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Y're not picking me?

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.440
<v Speaker 4>Like what like what?

0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? So I mean it kind of goes into our

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:53.679
<v Speaker 1>topic today because, like I said, people are allowed to

0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 1>have preference as long as somebody is not disrespecting you.

0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you see online like where like let's say a

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 1>basketball player he has a black wife, right, this black

0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 1>wife may not be light skin, but she's black. I mean,

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.120
<v Speaker 1>may not be dark skin, but she's black. You'll look

0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 1>into comments and the things that black women are saying

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:20.160
<v Speaker 1>about it's always a light skin like what what's happening? Yeah,

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:21.399
<v Speaker 1>it's still a black woman.

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:22.640
<v Speaker 2>She's still a black woman.

0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:27.200
<v Speaker 1>That's still a black woman. And if that's that man's preference,

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 1>let it be. Is nothing you can do about it, y'all.

0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Y'all can't make people choose you other people you, Yeah,

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 1>you can't make people choose you. So I don't know

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I've never had I've never had those issues, so but

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I know they exist. So I'm not being discissive of that.

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:49.399
<v Speaker 4>Bitch.

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I've been getting the same I've been getting niggas with

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the same body my whole life.

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:52.879
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:54.639
<v Speaker 1>It might have been a little slimmer at one point,

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.680
<v Speaker 1>a little chunky, but I never had problems dating or

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.160
<v Speaker 1>accessing the person and I wanted to access never.

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, likewise, I don't know, but let's get into that

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:13.000
<v Speaker 3>conversation about, like, you know, the relationship between women light

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 3>skin and dark.

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:15.080
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk about it.

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Call her colorism.

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:23.160
<v Speaker 3>We'll talk about it when we get back, all right, guys,

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.800
<v Speaker 3>I know we were just talking about a little bit

0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.679
<v Speaker 3>of colorism, which brings us to our topic today.

0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:34.160
<v Speaker 3>I brought on my good friend Teresa. I reached out

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.240
<v Speaker 3>to her yesterday and I was like, you a fine

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 3>chocolate girl.

0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 2>You grew up chocolate with light skinned sisters.

0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.000
<v Speaker 3>Would you like to talk about your experience as a

0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:47.520
<v Speaker 3>young girl growing up in a household with light women

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 3>being a dark woman. She said, absolutely, I have so

0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:53.800
<v Speaker 3>much to share about that. So I couldn't wait to

0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:55.880
<v Speaker 3>bring her on so we could have this conversation. Thank

0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:57.520
<v Speaker 3>you for coming. Teresa, Hey.

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.520
<v Speaker 4>Meeting you as well.

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.439
<v Speaker 1>So y'all know, like in the black community, this is

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.359
<v Speaker 1>like one of those conversations aside from the fifty to

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:12.880
<v Speaker 1>fifty conversation, It's just one of those those things that

0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I think, maybe it's uncomfortable for me because I don't

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:22.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like I've actually experienced what darker skinned women or lighter,

0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:26.520
<v Speaker 1>lighter skinned women experience. But I understand both sides of

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:32.200
<v Speaker 1>the spectrum. I understand the dynamic between these two subgroups

0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 1>within the black culture. We've created a whole subgroup, and

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:40.000
<v Speaker 1>some people act like it's a different race. Light skinned

0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:44.200
<v Speaker 1>people are race, Dark skinn people are different races. It's weird.

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 1>So I definitely can't wait to dive into this today, y'all.

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, when we're not busy going in with.

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:57.720
<v Speaker 1>White people, guess what you're still in it to them.

0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:02.879
<v Speaker 3>It's like if I ride in a car with a

0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 3>bunch of light skin bitches and they say, you niggas,

0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 3>get out of the car.

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:07.800
<v Speaker 2>They're not just talking to me.

0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Everybody.

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:20.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So Teresa, yes, talk to us about your experience

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 3>like growing up as the chocolate sister in the family,

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 3>Like what did you go through what'd you.

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 4>Experience, Well, I am the second.

0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Out of three girl syndrome to go ahead to.

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:36.439
<v Speaker 4>The black sheep.

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, And I never thought of it as being the

0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:44.280
<v Speaker 6>black sheep. I thought it was because why she didn't

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 6>get in trouble or why did I have to get

0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:48.760
<v Speaker 6>in trouble? And I just in my own head put

0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:51.439
<v Speaker 6>it as oh, because I'm the dark skin one of

0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 6>the family, Like they get treated better because they're light

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.399
<v Speaker 6>skin and I'm dark skinned. So I always had it

0:21:57.440 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 6>in my mind and my mama sat me down. I

0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:03.440
<v Speaker 6>think I was like seven or eight. I made a comment, Oh,

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.360
<v Speaker 6>she looked better because she likes skin, and my mom

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 6>was like, don't ever let me hear you say that again.

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:11.480
<v Speaker 6>Don't ever let me hear you say that you are

0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:15.080
<v Speaker 6>you're pretty too. Like she she made me feel okay,

0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 6>but still in the back of my head like, yeah,

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:20.159
<v Speaker 6>it's because she dark it's because she likes skin, and

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.439
<v Speaker 6>I'm dark skinned. It's just like I felt like I

0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:26.840
<v Speaker 6>wasn't enough because I was dark skinned. And my daddy,

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:32.480
<v Speaker 6>he honestly came from a colorism background, like you're better.

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 6>You could sit on the bed if you're light skinned,

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:37.040
<v Speaker 6>if you're dark skinned, you have to sit on the floor.

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:41.439
<v Speaker 6>It's just like they got praised because they were lighter.

0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:44.639
<v Speaker 6>And I accepted it after a while, but as a

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 6>forty one year old woman today, I still play like

0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:52.880
<v Speaker 6>if this somebody called me a black bitch, that kind

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:55.159
<v Speaker 6>of fucks with me. I'm sorry, excuse my language. It

0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:59.359
<v Speaker 6>kind of bothers me. But yeah, it's like, oh, I

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:06.320
<v Speaker 6>all like skin and bitches are not pretty, Like you know,

0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 6>you're not better than me because you like skin. And

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:11.640
<v Speaker 6>I had a friend that made a comment, but we

0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:14.400
<v Speaker 6>were just into our friendship, we were learning each other

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 6>and she made this post on Facebook. People are at

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 6>my job don't like me because I'm like skinning pretty.

0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:24.320
<v Speaker 6>So here I go with my Twitter fingers. Maybe people

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:29.440
<v Speaker 6>don't like you because they're intimidated by your spirit or nothing.

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 6>It has nothing to do with you being light skin

0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:34.719
<v Speaker 6>So don't put yourself on this high ass pedestal because

0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:37.040
<v Speaker 6>you feel like you're light skinning pretty and people just

0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 6>don't like you. Because I always hear, oh, my son

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:43.080
<v Speaker 6>is you can't do this because you're light skin Why

0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:44.119
<v Speaker 6>why can't you do it?

0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 4>Because you're light skinned?

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:47.879
<v Speaker 6>Like he's human, just like the rest of us, what

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:49.800
<v Speaker 6>does color have to do with it? Like I had

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 6>to really tell her how that made me fear feel

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 6>because we were watching Pee Valley a few years ago

0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:59.400
<v Speaker 6>when it first came out, and she was saying, how

0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:05.120
<v Speaker 6>you know the black girl because she is biracial, she

0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 6>grew up with a white family, So the black girl.

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:12.640
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, both of those girls are black. What you say,

0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:15.960
<v Speaker 6>the dark skinned girl? So that bothered? That bothered.

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Saying the dark skinned girl because you know that's still

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:23.120
<v Speaker 1>her human experience as well, and how she felt on

0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 1>that job site, right, So that now insert how you feel,

0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>how she shouldn't feel is a projection act.

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a project because yeah, and I think, yeah, go.

0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:37.359
<v Speaker 3>Ahead, No, And I was about to say, I think,

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:42.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, honestly, white people, you know, has caused this

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:44.600
<v Speaker 3>division amongst blacks.

0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:46.880
<v Speaker 2>In the black community. Let's keep it real. They put

0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:48.439
<v Speaker 2>the light skinned ones in the house cause.

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Their children and they had yeah, right right.

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Well they know.

0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Somebody is because how they got light and they caused

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 3>that divide.

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>People have always come in all shades colors, you know,

0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:10.960
<v Speaker 1>even if if you're just thinking about slavery, we've always

0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 1>been different shades, right, So I don't feel like we

0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 1>only got light because we mixed with European or Hispanic

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:25.119
<v Speaker 1>or something. At some point. We've always been different shades.

0:25:25.160 --> 0:25:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Like I have some people in my family who have

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:30.679
<v Speaker 1>green eyes, red hair, damn near albino looking, you know.

0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:36.200
<v Speaker 1>So black women are so amazing that we create all things, right,

0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:39.959
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, we could take it back to slavery and

0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:42.760
<v Speaker 1>absolutely some of them niggas in the house was the

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:48.320
<v Speaker 1>slave master kids, right, But who created them? And they

0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:51.159
<v Speaker 1>know like after that, why do we have this this

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 1>thing between light skin and dark skin when.

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, could you imagine I'd be mad at a bitch

0:25:57.720 --> 0:25:59.440
<v Speaker 3>too if I'm out in the field all day.

0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 2>And she said, up in the house looking down at me, and.

0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 3>That that definitely creates a culture of division between two

0:26:11.880 --> 0:26:14.720
<v Speaker 3>women who are the same. Essentially we are the same,

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:17.480
<v Speaker 3>we just look different, and that creates a divide.

0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's just passed down.

0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 3>And you know what, trauma is passed down in our

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:25.400
<v Speaker 3>dm DNA Because even then your mom told you, don't

0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 3>you ever say that, where did you learn that?

0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 2>You know?

0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 3>How did you subconsciously decide that you weren't enough? Was

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 3>it something that was already in you or is it

0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:37.879
<v Speaker 3>just learned behavior from society around you that makes you

0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:38.480
<v Speaker 3>feel that way.

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I saw this video. I can't remember what it was called, unfortunately.

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 1>But it was where children were acts which doll was prettier,

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and they were little little kids, and all the little

0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:54.919
<v Speaker 1>black kids said the white doll was better looking. And

0:26:54.960 --> 0:26:58.159
<v Speaker 1>it's like, what is happening in our society where that

0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 1>is being taught to us consciously because we're not literally

0:27:01.840 --> 0:27:04.480
<v Speaker 1>watching nothing that says, hey, this white doll is better,

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, but there's some type of learned behavior that

0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 1>is being passed down to us. And that's so, is

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:13.160
<v Speaker 1>your mom light skin or your dad light skin? Because

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:14.719
<v Speaker 1>I know you said your dad's side of the family

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>was you know, well, honestly, my mom and my dad

0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 1>is my color. So and my sisters, I don't know.

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 6>My mom has light skinned sisters, my dad had like

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 6>has light skinned sisters, So maybe they got their color

0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:31.680
<v Speaker 6>from each side. But it's crazy. I hear the story

0:27:31.720 --> 0:27:34.480
<v Speaker 6>all the time. My first sister was born. She came

0:27:34.480 --> 0:27:39.320
<v Speaker 6>out seven, super super read. Yeah the milk.

0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:46.560
<v Speaker 4>She came out, of course, they said she came out

0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:49.960
<v Speaker 4>looking like my dad, But she was really, really really red.

0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:54.240
<v Speaker 6>And my dad he drinks, he has a little fun

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:56.639
<v Speaker 6>and he went to the hospital. He was like, wake

0:27:56.680 --> 0:28:01.880
<v Speaker 6>your ass up, who bay is this? So my mom

0:28:02.040 --> 0:28:03.240
<v Speaker 6>was like, you know, she didn't want to hear it.

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:05.600
<v Speaker 6>But when I came out, he was like, damn right,

0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:08.399
<v Speaker 6>that's my child right here, because I came out dark.

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 6>So it's just like, yo, they probably got their color

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 6>from the family, because of course, you know, sometimes things

0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:16.760
<v Speaker 6>skipped curations.

0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:19.879
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that's like one of my sig she's the

0:28:19.920 --> 0:28:22.560
<v Speaker 1>middle and she's the light skin baby, and my mama

0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:25.960
<v Speaker 1>has the most pictures of her. She had red hair,

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:30.560
<v Speaker 1>light skin, and my dad's mom would say shit to

0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:33.640
<v Speaker 1>my mom like whose baby? This is? What's she get

0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:35.679
<v Speaker 1>that hair from? And what type of name is Amantha?

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Like this is how she would chast not chastise, but

0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:43.360
<v Speaker 1>like antagonize my mom about having this lighter baby. But

0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:47.160
<v Speaker 1>my mom's dad, I meanxcuse me, my dad's dad was lighter.

0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 1>And I even realized that my daddy is lighter because

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 1>this nigga was working in the sun my whole life.

0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was dark skin until he retired, and

0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:59.120
<v Speaker 1>now he's like lighter than me at this point.

0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Right, he just had a.

0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:07.520
<v Speaker 3>My dad used to say, so, my mom's side of

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:10.960
<v Speaker 3>the family is I'm probably we're probably the darkest one.

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Me and my sisters are the darkest ones in my

0:29:13.080 --> 0:29:15.760
<v Speaker 3>mom's side of the family. All of them are mixed

0:29:15.840 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 3>race and very fair skin. And my daddy used to

0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:21.880
<v Speaker 3>poke fun when I was a child and saying that

0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 3>we couldn't go to my grandma's church because they have

0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:28.000
<v Speaker 3>a comb hanging down from the door and if you hear,

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:29.280
<v Speaker 3>don't slide right through.

0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:30.480
<v Speaker 2>It walking to the church.

0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:42.440
<v Speaker 4>I would have got at the door to.

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:55.840
<v Speaker 7>Me too, Okay, Okay, that's so stupid, that's funny.

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:57.400
<v Speaker 3>But I used to I was a little girl, so

0:29:57.480 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 3>I used to be believing that ship he was saying that,

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, like not understanding that. He was just making

0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 3>fun of the colorism things that go on within a family.

0:30:06.600 --> 0:30:14.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's funny out of all things.

0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>So, what's the dynamic with you and your your lighter sisters.

0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:20.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's three of you, you said, and so you

0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:23.000
<v Speaker 1>have too older or you're in the middle.

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:29.680
<v Speaker 6>So well, Tya, Teresa, Tracy, And honestly, I love my sisters,

0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:32.920
<v Speaker 6>but I really don't have a relationship with them. Yeah,

0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 6>we'll speak, but it has nothing to do with the color.

0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 6>It's just more so we don't have anything in common.

0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:42.720
<v Speaker 6>So that's why I labeled myself as the black sheep.

0:30:42.760 --> 0:30:45.480
<v Speaker 6>We don't have anything in common, but they have so

0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 6>much in common. But like I said, I love my sisters,

0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:52.800
<v Speaker 6>but we really don't speak, but we're there for each other.

0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 6>Y'all live in the same y'all grew up in the

0:30:55.680 --> 0:31:00.080
<v Speaker 6>same household and father. And you don't feel like they

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:04.400
<v Speaker 6>had anything to do with your internal issues about being darker.

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel like they felt like they were better for.

0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:09.280
<v Speaker 4>Being like I don't. They never gave me that. They

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:11.680
<v Speaker 4>never because no, they never gave me that.

0:31:12.200 --> 0:31:16.720
<v Speaker 6>But it's like I was the rebellious one, so I

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.920
<v Speaker 6>could do anything and I'll get in trouble. But it's

0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:22.720
<v Speaker 6>me reverted, so she I got in trouble because I'm

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:25.160
<v Speaker 6>you know, they're better than they think they're better than me,

0:31:25.280 --> 0:31:28.560
<v Speaker 6>or they never get in trouble because they're the light

0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:31.720
<v Speaker 6>skinned sisters. That's just how I felt growing up. And

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:33.720
<v Speaker 6>you know, as an adult, I see now I was

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:36.800
<v Speaker 6>a little badass, not bad, but I was rebellious. I

0:31:36.840 --> 0:31:39.640
<v Speaker 6>wanted to hang out with the killers and the drug dealers.

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:43.480
<v Speaker 6>You know, I wanted to be outside when they did it.

0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:48.280
<v Speaker 6>They were homebodies. They did not you know, they didn't

0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:50.400
<v Speaker 6>get their tan they were supposed to get in the

0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:53.720
<v Speaker 6>summer time. But I look like I got burnt by

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 6>the sun. But no, they were not outside. I was outside.

0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:00.320
<v Speaker 6>So no, I don't think they never threw the colored

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 6>thing up in my face. I must say that they

0:32:02.720 --> 0:32:05.040
<v Speaker 6>never did that. It was just me and my own

0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 6>you know thoughts, my inner thoughts or you know, because

0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:10.520
<v Speaker 6>I used to hear my daddy talk about my baby,

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:12.920
<v Speaker 6>my baby, my baby. He never my daddy looked at

0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:16.560
<v Speaker 6>me as, oh you my nigga. But these are my babies.

0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 6>That's how I grew up, you know. That's me and

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 6>my I must say my daddy is my best friend.

0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:26.040
<v Speaker 6>He never gave me that baby baby affection. He gave

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:29.880
<v Speaker 6>me like you, my nigga, like you my we're cold

0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:32.280
<v Speaker 6>like that, Like you're the daughter I can go to

0:32:32.400 --> 0:32:35.920
<v Speaker 6>for anything. But the other ones are like my babies.

0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:38.240
<v Speaker 6>That's how I look at it. Maybe I could be wrong,

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:40.720
<v Speaker 6>but that's how I think parents.

0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:41.959
<v Speaker 2>So you feel like you did.

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I think parents do treat their children different regardless. Right,

0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody has a different personality, and he probably saw more

0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:52.200
<v Speaker 1>of himself and you while there was a different type

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:55.480
<v Speaker 1>of you know, closeness with you as opposed to with them.

0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 1>And then also it could be their personalities. Do they

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:00.520
<v Speaker 1>act more delicate you're the rebellious one. Want to hang

0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 1>outside with niggas? Yeah, I did, Like they're in the

0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:10.520
<v Speaker 1>house like you know, so I don't know, but I see.

0:33:10.680 --> 0:33:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I definitely see your perspective and how you would feel.

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, that's just I mean, that's just what it was.

0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 6>I don't like I said, they never threw, They never

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:27.680
<v Speaker 6>called me like black, because if anybody called me, you know,

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 6>how to be like with your.

0:33:28.640 --> 0:33:30.320
<v Speaker 4>Black cells, like.

0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:39.720
<v Speaker 6>I don't know, to be sorry, Yes that was a

0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:42.120
<v Speaker 6>black That was how I was like brought up in

0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:44.640
<v Speaker 6>school and stuff. If you the dark girls, the dark

0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:47.440
<v Speaker 6>girls were overlooked. It was like the light skin bitches

0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:51.560
<v Speaker 6>that were very, very very popular. But there has beens

0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:55.200
<v Speaker 6>now now the black girls are winning, like they wont

0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:56.480
<v Speaker 6>to slip pink.

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:04.320
<v Speaker 2>All the coaches is pink on black light.

0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's on the inside.

0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:14.799
<v Speaker 2>So you know, do you.

0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>All think some of it does stem from like the

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:20.840
<v Speaker 1>school time. Okay, so you got like the fine ass dudes.

0:34:20.880 --> 0:34:22.839
<v Speaker 1>They are after the light skin girls and a lot

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.040
<v Speaker 1>of them. That's what we see now when niggas is

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:27.480
<v Speaker 1>buying bitches because they didn't have access to the light

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:31.200
<v Speaker 1>skin pretty girl you know, quote unquote in high schools.

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:32.719
<v Speaker 1>So now you get the check, and now you can

0:34:32.760 --> 0:34:36.480
<v Speaker 1>add water, add money for instant swag, and now you

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 1>got the bitch you always wanted access to. Do you

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:45.720
<v Speaker 1>think like the dating in high school where black women,

0:34:46.000 --> 0:34:50.319
<v Speaker 1>darker skinned women didn't feel chosen by men, Right, that's

0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 1>really not a problem with the other woman. It's really not.

0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:56.200
<v Speaker 1>The issue really isn't with the lighter skinned woman because

0:34:56.200 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 1>she can't help who likes her. So in high school,

0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:05.800
<v Speaker 1>did you not, I feel like the guys like engaged

0:35:05.840 --> 0:35:09.600
<v Speaker 1>with you as much the ones you wanted.

0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:13.279
<v Speaker 4>So I didn't really I was.

0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 6>My focus was cheerleading and the nigga i'm with today, Marcus.

0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:22.440
<v Speaker 6>I've been with him since I was fifteen, So I

0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:26.880
<v Speaker 6>ran behind one guy, damned in my whole life. So

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:29.759
<v Speaker 6>I don't know, he was my main focus. I didn't

0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:32.800
<v Speaker 6>care about nothing but cheerleading in Marcus. Cheerleading in Marcus,

0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 6>and he was pretty much the same as me, like

0:35:36.200 --> 0:35:38.960
<v Speaker 6>the dark skinned one in his family. Like there were

0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:42.480
<v Speaker 6>comments made about, oh, that's not my son because he's black.

0:35:42.880 --> 0:35:45.360
<v Speaker 4>So we pretty much can relate in that on that subject.

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 3>So so y'all had a trauma bond as kids based

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:53.480
<v Speaker 3>on much, Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, that's how it was

0:35:53.640 --> 0:35:56.480
<v Speaker 3>because a lot of his family they're not dark like

0:35:56.719 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 3>me and him, but they're more like aj like the

0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:06.879
<v Speaker 3>caramel Tammy, the caramel color, not black like me and him.

0:36:06.880 --> 0:36:09.600
<v Speaker 3>Look like we shared a feel together picking cott and

0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:15.319
<v Speaker 3>that type of black. But no, but yeah, no, yeah,

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:20.760
<v Speaker 3>we can relate on, you know, being called the dark child.

0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:23.640
<v Speaker 3>And at that moment, you know, growing up, I didn't

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:28.960
<v Speaker 3>see nobody but Marcus, and in today, I don't see

0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:33.080
<v Speaker 3>I have a slew of color friends. I have my

0:36:33.200 --> 0:36:35.799
<v Speaker 3>red chicks, I have my darken chips chicks. But I

0:36:35.840 --> 0:36:38.040
<v Speaker 3>look at them, I don't see their color. I see

0:36:38.040 --> 0:36:42.040
<v Speaker 3>they're hard. I don't see people. It's I don't see color.

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:44.080
<v Speaker 6>I can't say, oh, that light skinned girl over there

0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:45.799
<v Speaker 6>or that dark skinned girl over there. I'm like, oh,

0:36:45.800 --> 0:36:48.120
<v Speaker 6>look at that pretty girl right there. And I got

0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 6>I hated to hear growing up. Oh she's pretty for

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:53.919
<v Speaker 6>a dark skinned girl. That grind my gears. Why can't

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:54.279
<v Speaker 6>she just be.

0:36:54.920 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Because it's not color is your facial features, Because like

0:36:58.239 --> 0:37:00.840
<v Speaker 1>you said, you can be light skin and fair complexed

0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:04.719
<v Speaker 1>and not have nice features, right.

0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 4>That just for me.

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:11.960
<v Speaker 3>When I was growing up, I always considered myself dark skinned.

0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:14.399
<v Speaker 3>But much like your dad, aj, I spent a lot of.

0:37:14.360 --> 0:37:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Time me too.

0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I was black as hell.

0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:19.879
<v Speaker 3>I was glad. I was black as hell as a kid,

0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:21.880
<v Speaker 3>So I didn't even know like this is my color,

0:37:22.560 --> 0:37:25.320
<v Speaker 3>my natural color until I got grown and stopped running

0:37:25.320 --> 0:37:26.360
<v Speaker 3>out there in that swim like.

0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:29.239
<v Speaker 1>But I used to be black from the eyes up,

0:37:29.680 --> 0:37:32.680
<v Speaker 1>like I was averigining. My oldest sister would be like,

0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:35.160
<v Speaker 1>you look like a damn aborigine. My forehead used to

0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:39.760
<v Speaker 1>be so black, y'all, and my skin just looked like dust.

0:37:40.200 --> 0:37:42.560
<v Speaker 1>When I was a kid, it just looked like I

0:37:42.600 --> 0:37:44.000
<v Speaker 1>haven't played in dirt all day.

0:37:44.040 --> 0:37:44.600
<v Speaker 2>But I wasn't.

0:37:44.600 --> 0:37:45.920
<v Speaker 5>It was just dirt all day.

0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:49.759
<v Speaker 1>The tone, like the little red undertone was trying to

0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:52.560
<v Speaker 1>come up out of there. But it's just that something

0:37:52.680 --> 0:37:54.040
<v Speaker 1>beat me up. And I mean, I feel like you're

0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:55.920
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more healthy. The darker the skin is

0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:57.879
<v Speaker 1>get all like the vitamin D.

0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you something.

0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:05.400
<v Speaker 3>I ain't never seen a dark skinned girl crack, you know,

0:38:05.600 --> 0:38:09.480
<v Speaker 3>like they say black don't crack and they meet and

0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:12.600
<v Speaker 3>there's there's a spectrum for that because.

0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:15.600
<v Speaker 2>The darker you are, the TIGHTI your skin stay. I

0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:20.200
<v Speaker 2>feel like you think. So you got absolutely okay.

0:38:20.280 --> 0:38:27.480
<v Speaker 3>I got one night I had since okay, and I

0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:28.120
<v Speaker 3>got botox.

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Bit you, I don't know what I got up on

0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:35.120
<v Speaker 2>the hill y'all talk about.

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I used to west Swop for years, and all of

0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:42.279
<v Speaker 1>years are frowning and crying behind fucking niggas. One day

0:38:42.320 --> 0:38:45.399
<v Speaker 1>I just started wearing my forehead out and I'm like, yo,

0:38:45.480 --> 0:38:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I got rainkos.

0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:49.360
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:54.840
<v Speaker 3>So the melanin do protect you from that sun? Sunscreen

0:38:54.840 --> 0:38:57.360
<v Speaker 3>ain't nothing but liquid melon in as far as I'm concerned.

0:38:57.560 --> 0:38:59.959
<v Speaker 3>If you put it under a black light, it'll you'll

0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:02.560
<v Speaker 3>look black. So it's all it is is liquid melion.

0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:05.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh look, she's like interesting.

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:09.880
<v Speaker 4>I never knew.

0:39:10.280 --> 0:39:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I just I didn't hate that we black people

0:39:14.560 --> 0:39:17.400
<v Speaker 1>are facing so much shit in America, in this world,

0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:20.560
<v Speaker 1>because no matter the skin complexion, it's almost like we

0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:24.000
<v Speaker 1>hated across the diaspora. Right, So then for us to

0:39:24.040 --> 0:39:28.680
<v Speaker 1>be feuding amongst the different people of the different cultures

0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:32.839
<v Speaker 1>in the diaspora, then amongst the different subgroups, like we

0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:35.640
<v Speaker 1>are we doomed at this point. I feel I don't

0:39:35.680 --> 0:39:39.160
<v Speaker 1>think that black people will ever be on the same

0:39:39.200 --> 0:39:43.200
<v Speaker 1>accord collectively at this point, because we can't see past

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:49.839
<v Speaker 1>all the little stupid, dumb ass idiosyncrasies within our community. Yeah,

0:39:49.920 --> 0:39:52.839
<v Speaker 1>like light and dark, yeah right, And I don't want

0:39:52.840 --> 0:39:55.040
<v Speaker 1>to be insensitive. I remember Tam and I had a

0:39:55.080 --> 0:40:03.240
<v Speaker 1>guest on Doctor Orioo. She was a uh sexologist doctor,

0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:08.759
<v Speaker 1>but she started going into colorism and texturism and futurism

0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:11.879
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that, and then, you know, I don't

0:40:11.960 --> 0:40:14.600
<v Speaker 1>ever want to make somebody uncomfortable, and I never not

0:40:14.640 --> 0:40:17.680
<v Speaker 1>want to validate, you know, someone's feelings on something in

0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:22.160
<v Speaker 1>particular you're experience. But if me and Tam really did not,

0:40:23.400 --> 0:40:27.960
<v Speaker 1>we kind of like swerve, swerve that fucking conversation right quick, right,

0:40:28.000 --> 0:40:31.320
<v Speaker 1>because no, we aren't light skinned, but maybe our experience

0:40:31.360 --> 0:40:34.759
<v Speaker 1>isn't the same. And we just couldn't have that conversation

0:40:34.800 --> 0:40:37.279
<v Speaker 1>with her because I really wasn't with the topic. What

0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:40.000
<v Speaker 1>were we talking about? We were talking about sex, you know,

0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:44.480
<v Speaker 1>so it started going into colorism. I'm like, oh shit,

0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:48.919
<v Speaker 1>because that is one of her other things. But it's

0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:54.280
<v Speaker 1>almost like you can't dark darker skinned women. You can't

0:40:54.400 --> 0:40:56.520
<v Speaker 1>challenge them in any way about that stuff, you know,

0:40:56.640 --> 0:40:58.560
<v Speaker 1>because I do feel like a lot of it is internal,

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, and light skinned women and it may have

0:41:02.800 --> 0:41:05.359
<v Speaker 1>very well been put on a pedestodair whole lives, but

0:41:05.600 --> 0:41:07.799
<v Speaker 1>is that their fault?

0:41:07.960 --> 0:41:08.200
<v Speaker 4>You know?

0:41:08.400 --> 0:41:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I have a friend. We had our odds right now,

0:41:12.440 --> 0:41:13.759
<v Speaker 1>so I ain't talk to that bitch and by the

0:41:13.760 --> 0:41:18.280
<v Speaker 1>month or so, but hey, Lisa, I have a friend,

0:41:18.719 --> 0:41:22.960
<v Speaker 1>right and she has a platform on social media and

0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:27.040
<v Speaker 1>she does like does like spiritualism and stuff like that,

0:41:27.400 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and she is very, very smart. She's an intellectual, and

0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:37.600
<v Speaker 1>it's almost like you cannot be light skin smart. Funny.

0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:41.560
<v Speaker 1>The very first thing I always would see, because she

0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:44.480
<v Speaker 1>would on Clubhouse is where I met her. She'd be

0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:46.920
<v Speaker 1>running her rooms and I'll be just looking at like

0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:49.879
<v Speaker 1>what people saying in the chat. It would always be, oh,

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:51.560
<v Speaker 1>how the fuck does she talk about this? She don't

0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 1>even got she not even black. Her mama white. When

0:41:54.520 --> 0:41:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, her mom is darken than all three

0:41:56.640 --> 0:42:01.000
<v Speaker 1>of us. She's Jamaican. Her father is lighter, but her dad,

0:42:01.120 --> 0:42:04.480
<v Speaker 1>her mom is a black woman, and she looks exactly

0:42:04.560 --> 0:42:07.759
<v Speaker 1>like her mama. Future wise, future wise, the only thing

0:42:07.840 --> 0:42:10.759
<v Speaker 1>is the skin tone. But that would be the main

0:42:10.840 --> 0:42:14.960
<v Speaker 1>goal to and it would always be black women attacking

0:42:15.080 --> 0:42:20.759
<v Speaker 1>this lighter skinned black woman about her skin tone. That's

0:42:20.760 --> 0:42:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the like a goal to to offend somebody.

0:42:24.640 --> 0:42:25.520
<v Speaker 4>So do you do you?

0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like or do y'all feel like? Was

0:42:28.840 --> 0:42:32.479
<v Speaker 1>the hate ever coming from lights lighter skinned women? Because

0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I had one of my homegirls cut this light skinned

0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:39.839
<v Speaker 1>girl hair in high school. So I would always see

0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the darker skinned women attacking lighter skinned women physically, verbally,

0:42:45.320 --> 0:42:47.239
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, bitch, you can't fight anyway. So now

0:42:47.239 --> 0:42:50.520
<v Speaker 1>they got to learn to fight because somebody's gonna try

0:42:50.560 --> 0:42:52.759
<v Speaker 1>them on a daily basis, because for whatever reason, within

0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the black community, we associate light skin with white.

0:42:57.400 --> 0:42:57.760
<v Speaker 4>Hmmm.

0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're right, You're absolutely right.

0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:05.560
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember a time where I felt like the

0:43:05.680 --> 0:43:11.000
<v Speaker 3>light skinned girl was the aggressor with a dark, darker

0:43:11.040 --> 0:43:15.200
<v Speaker 3>skinned woman, but they I have seen them be attacked

0:43:15.719 --> 0:43:16.879
<v Speaker 3>by darker skinned women.

0:43:17.040 --> 0:43:17.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:43:17.920 --> 0:43:22.680
<v Speaker 6>Why my friend, my biracial friend, she's like, you know,

0:43:23.400 --> 0:43:27.840
<v Speaker 6>people I've seen when somebody tried her because oh, she

0:43:28.080 --> 0:43:31.279
<v Speaker 6>mikes white people can't fight. You know, we already have

0:43:31.400 --> 0:43:33.600
<v Speaker 6>the stereotype that we could beat they white.

0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:35.680
<v Speaker 4>People ask anyway.

0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:42.239
<v Speaker 6>But she is a certified beast with the hands. I'm like,

0:43:42.920 --> 0:43:45.920
<v Speaker 6>where the fuck did you come from? Yeah, that nigga

0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:46.239
<v Speaker 6>is in.

0:43:46.760 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Why we ain't see and being able to whoop ass

0:43:49.040 --> 0:43:51.080
<v Speaker 1>with niggas because I don't see niggas gotta beat up

0:43:51.120 --> 0:43:54.600
<v Speaker 1>by white boys because they bite. Really, they do all

0:43:54.640 --> 0:44:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the things to win the fucking fight. Okay, yes, absolutely.

0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:00.879

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm light skinned, but I'm still a dark nigga.

0:44:09.600 --> 0:44:10.360
<v Speaker 1>That's him.

0:44:10.600 --> 0:44:13.160
<v Speaker 6>Yes, I don't know why people do that because my

0:44:13.320 --> 0:44:15.920
<v Speaker 6>best friend, she has a little boy. Of course, my

0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:19.239

0:45:03.719 --> 0:45:06.520
<v Speaker 6>I think it's what was embedded in us was also

0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:10.319
<v Speaker 6>embedded in the white folks about well, what'sn't bettered about us?

0:45:10.320 --> 0:45:11.280
<v Speaker 4>About white people?

0:45:11.840 --> 0:45:14.680
<v Speaker 6>The same thing there were you know, oh those niggas,

0:45:14.680 --> 0:45:16.799
<v Speaker 6>and we're looking at all those honkys. It's just like,

0:45:16.840 --> 0:45:20.600
<v Speaker 6>I think it's a generational thing. Honestly, That's how I

0:45:20.600 --> 0:45:23.480
<v Speaker 6>feel about the light skin the dark skins. It's just

0:45:23.520 --> 0:45:28.040
<v Speaker 6>something that came from the older generation and it went

0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:29.759
<v Speaker 6>over and over and over and over.

0:45:29.880 --> 0:45:32.640
<v Speaker 4>So that's, you know, when.

0:45:32.520 --> 0:45:39.520
<v Speaker 3>I think of white people honky.

0:45:36.960 --> 0:45:39.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm back, I grew up with honky because I'm from

0:45:40.000 --> 0:45:43.920
<v Speaker 6>Holkes secretly loved black women in particular because that's actually

0:45:43.960 --> 0:45:45.080
<v Speaker 6>where the term came from.

0:45:45.120 --> 0:45:47.440
<v Speaker 1>So if you think back to like the days where

0:45:47.480 --> 0:45:51.600
<v Speaker 1>they had like the whorehouses and and and shit like that.

0:45:52.000 --> 0:45:54.759
<v Speaker 1>So the white men who wanted to trick on the

0:45:54.800 --> 0:45:58.680
<v Speaker 1>black women. They'd come past the building honked air horn,

0:45:59.080 --> 0:46:01.680
<v Speaker 1>So then the pimp would probably be like, y'all are

0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:02.799
<v Speaker 1>honky outside.

0:46:04.800 --> 0:46:05.840
<v Speaker 4>I never thought of that.

0:46:05.840 --> 0:46:09.000
<v Speaker 1>That's where the term honky comes from. Now, cracker comes from,

0:46:09.040 --> 0:46:10.240
<v Speaker 1>cracking that fucking whip.

0:46:11.400 --> 0:46:11.560
<v Speaker 4>Wi.

0:46:12.200 --> 0:46:15.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think, and I think that's why we feel

0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:16.920
<v Speaker 3>like we can fight.

0:46:16.719 --> 0:46:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Because we've been getting beats.

0:46:18.200 --> 0:46:22.040
<v Speaker 3>You got this motherfucker, you know. So I think that's

0:46:22.080 --> 0:46:24.080
<v Speaker 3>why we feel like we can take a whoop.

0:46:25.520 --> 0:46:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Slavery ended because we was fucking they ass up. Okay,

0:46:29.440 --> 0:46:32.759
<v Speaker 1>let them tell it, oh Lincoln it no, Okay, the

0:46:33.239 --> 0:46:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the fucking Haitians came over here. We was fighting them crackers, Okay,

0:46:37.320 --> 0:46:38.760
<v Speaker 1>that's why slavery.

0:46:38.400 --> 0:46:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Ended, fighting bad.

0:46:39.480 --> 0:46:41.680
<v Speaker 1>We was never laying down. And so there was some

0:46:41.800 --> 0:46:45.840
<v Speaker 1>people because we see niggas laying down today, okay, but

0:46:46.239 --> 0:46:49.000
<v Speaker 1>not not the majority of us, not collectively was. We

0:46:49.000 --> 0:46:51.560
<v Speaker 1>wasn't having it. We was definitely fighting and dying.

0:46:53.239 --> 0:46:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Right, So let's talk about all right, And this is

0:46:58.280 --> 0:47:00.880
<v Speaker 3>this is me being my ignorance, So y'all forgive me

0:47:00.880 --> 0:47:01.520
<v Speaker 3>in advance.

0:47:02.520 --> 0:47:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Listeners too, don't come for me.

0:47:05.320 --> 0:47:12.160
<v Speaker 3>Oftentimes, when I see that there's a mixed race child

0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:15.200
<v Speaker 3>or a mixed race girl, I'd be like, what color

0:47:15.239 --> 0:47:15.960
<v Speaker 3>was your mama?

0:47:16.840 --> 0:47:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh, if the mama was white.

0:47:20.239 --> 0:47:23.120
<v Speaker 3>I view this person more as a white person versus

0:47:23.120 --> 0:47:26.600
<v Speaker 3>a black person, And I don't know if that's I know,

0:47:26.640 --> 0:47:30.080
<v Speaker 3>that's ignorant and it's probably not fair because.

0:47:29.840 --> 0:47:33.680
<v Speaker 1>We just saw that with the Drake and Kendrick, and

0:47:33.719 --> 0:47:34.759
<v Speaker 1>that's where I was getting into.

0:47:34.840 --> 0:47:37.239
<v Speaker 3>I was getting to Drake and Kendrick Lamar and how

0:47:37.440 --> 0:47:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Kendrick was like basically saying he's not black enough.

0:47:40.920 --> 0:47:41.120
<v Speaker 4>You know?

0:47:42.320 --> 0:47:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Is that a thing?

0:47:43.080 --> 0:47:45.359
<v Speaker 3>Do y'all feel like that's a real thing, you know,

0:47:45.520 --> 0:47:49.960
<v Speaker 3>to call somebody not black enough because of how much

0:47:50.040 --> 0:47:53.640
<v Speaker 3>who is black in the family and how black they are,

0:47:53.760 --> 0:47:54.040
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:47:55.040 --> 0:47:55.839
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's how it is.

0:47:55.840 --> 0:47:57.800
<v Speaker 6>What one of my close friends, her mom is white,

0:47:58.239 --> 0:48:02.239
<v Speaker 6>her dad is black, But like I said, she fight

0:48:02.360 --> 0:48:04.600
<v Speaker 6>like a man, So I'm thinking it's stemming from her

0:48:04.640 --> 0:48:07.560
<v Speaker 6>black side. But then again, I heard stories that her

0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:10.640
<v Speaker 6>mama used to whoop ass in Germany, So I'm like, damn,

0:48:10.800 --> 0:48:13.640
<v Speaker 6>so your mama know how to throw hands, So yeah,

0:48:13.760 --> 0:48:15.560
<v Speaker 6>the white side of her, I guess, in the black

0:48:15.560 --> 0:48:17.040
<v Speaker 6>side of her, I think she just got it on it.

0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:18.719
<v Speaker 6>So I don't know.

0:48:19.120 --> 0:48:19.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:25.120
<v Speaker 1>That's yeah, yeah, like your day to day right, so

0:48:26.480 --> 0:48:27.920
<v Speaker 1>go ahead, go ahead.

0:48:28.440 --> 0:48:33.200
<v Speaker 6>I yeah, she's my friend is It's like she knows

0:48:33.200 --> 0:48:35.399
<v Speaker 6>how to switch it up.

0:48:36.040 --> 0:48:37.879
<v Speaker 4>Like I could see when the family come around, there

0:48:37.920 --> 0:48:41.920
<v Speaker 4>is gathering and she's like, hi are you when when

0:48:41.920 --> 0:48:46.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm around, girl? What the yeah? What girl? What the

0:48:46.080 --> 0:48:50.280
<v Speaker 4>fuck you doing? So I see both switch.

0:48:51.360 --> 0:48:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we all yeah, we all had the code switch.

0:48:53.480 --> 0:48:55.480
<v Speaker 3>She just might have to code switch in a different way.

0:48:55.600 --> 0:48:56.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

0:48:56.480 --> 0:48:59.320
<v Speaker 6>I am not that girl. You're gonna get the same

0:48:59.520 --> 0:49:03.400
<v Speaker 6>lady every day all day. I'm just the same person.

0:49:03.480 --> 0:49:05.480
<v Speaker 6>I can't switch it up because I feel like I'll

0:49:05.480 --> 0:49:06.440
<v Speaker 6>be fake to myself.

0:49:06.640 --> 0:49:08.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't know why. I mean, I know how to

0:49:08.360 --> 0:49:11.960
<v Speaker 4>be professional, but I'm just the same.

0:49:12.200 --> 0:49:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've never worked a corporate job and not like

0:49:15.760 --> 0:49:18.880
<v Speaker 1>just maybe maybe by the month, and here it comes

0:49:18.920 --> 0:49:24.000
<v Speaker 1>trouble haircut. You fucking right, because I am a nigga.

0:49:24.080 --> 0:49:26.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm a real nigga when I out clock out, So

0:49:26.320 --> 0:49:28.640
<v Speaker 1>piss me off in this office. I'm be on your

0:49:28.680 --> 0:49:31.040
<v Speaker 1>ass in the garage. I swear to god, I had

0:49:31.160 --> 0:49:33.200
<v Speaker 1>a nigga like I wanted him to pull up on

0:49:33.239 --> 0:49:38.400
<v Speaker 1>his white bitch. I used to work with not I

0:49:38.400 --> 0:49:41.759
<v Speaker 1>wanted somebody to do something to that lady. But back

0:49:41.760 --> 0:49:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to the Drake and j Coles, and I do feel like,

0:49:46.960 --> 0:49:49.239
<v Speaker 1>because like I always say, black is a culture, right,

0:49:49.920 --> 0:49:52.120
<v Speaker 1>anybody can be in the black culture. We try to

0:49:52.160 --> 0:49:54.000
<v Speaker 1>dismiss people from the black culture. But there are white

0:49:54.000 --> 0:49:56.399
<v Speaker 1>people who grow up in the hood. You know, there

0:49:56.400 --> 0:49:59.239
<v Speaker 1>are Hispanic people who grow and I hate to associate

0:49:59.480 --> 0:50:03.040
<v Speaker 1>black with hood, but come on, y'all, uh like, yeah,

0:50:03.080 --> 0:50:05.520
<v Speaker 1>it's just it is what it is. It's urban, right,

0:50:05.920 --> 0:50:10.200
<v Speaker 1>So because there is a different class, right of black people,

0:50:10.239 --> 0:50:12.239
<v Speaker 1>and they are light and dark. We're talking about the

0:50:12.280 --> 0:50:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Boulet and you know, the divine Nines, all the different

0:50:17.760 --> 0:50:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, they they they have. I've read this book.

0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:26.399
<v Speaker 1>I started reading this book called Our Kind of People,

0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and it actually made a series out of it. I'm

0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:30.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna go back and watch it. But it talks about

0:50:30.800 --> 0:50:36.879
<v Speaker 1>the upper class Black American experience. But I do think

0:50:36.960 --> 0:50:39.920
<v Speaker 1>there's a difference between like somebody who's raised by a

0:50:39.960 --> 0:50:44.080
<v Speaker 1>black mother in comparison to someone who's raised by a

0:50:44.080 --> 0:50:49.200
<v Speaker 1>white mother, because you are more likely, as this biracial child,

0:50:49.960 --> 0:50:55.359
<v Speaker 1>to get a black experience over somebody who's raised by

0:50:55.400 --> 0:50:59.520
<v Speaker 1>a white woman like Drake is black and Jewish, which

0:50:59.520 --> 0:51:03.040
<v Speaker 1>is not a right. So he's black and white and

0:51:03.200 --> 0:51:07.640
<v Speaker 1>his are Polish, let's be very clear, okay. And he

0:51:08.120 --> 0:51:10.440
<v Speaker 1>was raised by his mom like his daddy was estranged

0:51:10.440 --> 0:51:14.239
<v Speaker 1>most of his life, so I associate him with that

0:51:14.480 --> 0:51:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Jewish woman, and Tam could tell you since the beginning

0:51:17.400 --> 0:51:21.319
<v Speaker 1>of since since we talked back conception, I have been

0:51:21.320 --> 0:51:24.120
<v Speaker 1>calling Drake the white man that infiltrated hip hop since

0:51:24.120 --> 0:51:27.480
<v Speaker 1>our very first episode, because that is exactly who he is,

0:51:28.200 --> 0:51:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. So we looked at different rappers like Eminem

0:51:30.960 --> 0:51:33.759
<v Speaker 1>and all these other people who are actually like ap

0:51:33.800 --> 0:51:39.320
<v Speaker 1>pairing presenting as white men. Drake was the unsuspecting white

0:51:39.320 --> 0:51:44.000
<v Speaker 1>man who studied hip hop like a college course and

0:51:44.040 --> 0:51:49.520
<v Speaker 1>he's perfected it and he's become one of the greatest.

0:51:50.040 --> 0:51:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but what about But here's the thing. J Cole

0:51:54.680 --> 0:51:57.560
<v Speaker 3>got napi as hell, right, and.

0:51:57.560 --> 0:51:58.840
<v Speaker 1>He just looks like a light skinning.

0:51:58.880 --> 0:52:02.160
<v Speaker 2>But but his mother is white.

0:52:03.160 --> 0:52:08.600
<v Speaker 3>But people don't give him, Yeah, he got a white mom,

0:52:09.480 --> 0:52:11.879
<v Speaker 3>So I don't feel like people give him that same

0:52:12.000 --> 0:52:17.680
<v Speaker 3>type of stamp that they give Drake for being white,

0:52:17.840 --> 0:52:21.680
<v Speaker 3>even though they have pretty much similar genetic makeup when

0:52:21.680 --> 0:52:23.280
<v Speaker 3>it comes to halfway, I think.

0:52:23.120 --> 0:52:27.440
<v Speaker 1>What it is is that Drake exploits the worst of

0:52:27.560 --> 0:52:33.239
<v Speaker 1>black culture. Right Meanwhile J Cole is more like some

0:52:33.280 --> 0:52:37.640
<v Speaker 1>people would call him a revolutionary or something like that.

0:52:37.680 --> 0:52:39.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, some people I don't think that he really

0:52:41.280 --> 0:52:45.880
<v Speaker 1>is on black struggle issues like that, Like he raps

0:52:45.920 --> 0:52:50.400
<v Speaker 1>about it, but what is he actively doing in regards

0:52:50.400 --> 0:52:52.920
<v Speaker 1>to it. So I feel like that is the difference

0:52:52.960 --> 0:52:56.400
<v Speaker 1>between them. Like, Drake, you do not grow up in

0:52:56.920 --> 0:53:00.279
<v Speaker 1>this black culture. Ja Cole absolutely did, So he understands

0:53:00.320 --> 0:53:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the struggle more so He's not going to be the

0:53:02.600 --> 0:53:06.680
<v Speaker 1>one to exploit black struggle as if that's the only

0:53:06.760 --> 0:53:10.600
<v Speaker 1>thing black people are. But that's what Drake does, you know.

0:53:10.680 --> 0:53:13.319
<v Speaker 1>So that's why he's synced up with Sexy Red, and

0:53:13.360 --> 0:53:15.800
<v Speaker 1>you know every day I like Sexy Red more. I

0:53:15.840 --> 0:53:20.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know why those people exist in our culture. People

0:53:20.800 --> 0:53:23.359
<v Speaker 1>like her exist, so she represents just like black women,

0:53:23.480 --> 0:53:26.800
<v Speaker 1>darker skinned women feel like you don't have representation and

0:53:27.040 --> 0:53:30.399
<v Speaker 1>music and on TV and all that their Sexy Red

0:53:30.480 --> 0:53:33.440
<v Speaker 1>is representing all the hood bitches. Because I'm from Charleston

0:53:33.480 --> 0:53:35.600
<v Speaker 1>and I'm telling you, like fifty percent of the women

0:53:35.600 --> 0:53:36.640
<v Speaker 1>look like sexy red here.

0:53:39.840 --> 0:53:40.120
<v Speaker 6>Wow.

0:53:40.640 --> 0:53:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Really yes, like that is that those people are a

0:53:44.120 --> 0:53:46.279
<v Speaker 1>part of our community. And I hate to even say

0:53:46.320 --> 0:53:47.239
<v Speaker 1>those people.

0:53:47.320 --> 0:53:51.759
<v Speaker 3>Well, I hate I hope y'all aren't grabbing y'all kochie lives.

0:53:51.760 --> 0:53:52.680
<v Speaker 1>And that was wild.

0:53:52.680 --> 0:53:55.239
<v Speaker 2>I ain't like that when she that was too.

0:53:55.200 --> 0:54:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Much, that's too much. But she represents us culture of

0:54:01.239 --> 0:54:05.399
<v Speaker 1>niggas that some of us be looking like at them

0:54:05.480 --> 0:54:08.120
<v Speaker 1>like the same way maybe darker people would feel like

0:54:08.200 --> 0:54:10.680
<v Speaker 1>light skinned people look at them. We do look at

0:54:10.719 --> 0:54:12.360
<v Speaker 1>them like ugh, you know.

0:54:14.320 --> 0:54:16.000
<v Speaker 2>But it ain't got nothing to do with color.

0:54:16.040 --> 0:54:21.960
<v Speaker 3>It's definitely with class behavior sometimes class socialism.

0:54:22.480 --> 0:54:24.439
<v Speaker 1>And she's from Saint Louis. I lived in Saint Louis

0:54:24.520 --> 0:54:27.000
<v Speaker 1>almost five years, and I could tell you it's no

0:54:27.120 --> 0:54:33.080
<v Speaker 1>real racism in Saint Louis. It's definitely classism. Yes, it's

0:54:33.120 --> 0:54:36.360
<v Speaker 1>like the rich niggas against the broke niggas, the white

0:54:36.880 --> 0:54:39.200
<v Speaker 1>white people against you know, and it's a melting pot

0:54:39.320 --> 0:54:44.920
<v Speaker 1>and white people, but there's Russians, there's Cambodians. It's like

0:54:44.960 --> 0:54:48.200
<v Speaker 1>a melting pot of all these different cultures. And it's

0:54:48.200 --> 0:54:49.840
<v Speaker 1>like do you have money or not? And who do

0:54:49.880 --> 0:54:52.359
<v Speaker 1>you know and what do you have access? To it's

0:54:52.440 --> 0:54:54.240
<v Speaker 1>like that in Saint Louis.

0:54:54.800 --> 0:55:01.880
<v Speaker 3>That sounds like the American way right there, though, Yeah, yeah, yes,

0:55:02.880 --> 0:55:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Do you have anything to offer a young black girl

0:55:07.120 --> 0:55:11.240
<v Speaker 3>who's listening to this episode in terms of self esteem?

0:55:11.719 --> 0:55:16.400
<v Speaker 6>Hmmm, a young black girl, I will say, let me

0:55:16.440 --> 0:55:18.439
<v Speaker 6>speak back to my younger self.

0:55:20.239 --> 0:55:24.240
<v Speaker 4>Being like you, you were enough.

0:55:24.719 --> 0:55:27.160
<v Speaker 6>I feel like I wasn't at one point. I know

0:55:27.320 --> 0:55:30.480
<v Speaker 6>now you were enough looking back at my younger self,

0:55:30.520 --> 0:55:33.799
<v Speaker 6>like you did, what they say did not matter to you.

0:55:34.040 --> 0:55:38.160
<v Speaker 6>I had a very low self esteem issue, like very

0:55:38.280 --> 0:55:40.719
<v Speaker 6>very very low. And then I had to build that

0:55:40.800 --> 0:55:43.759
<v Speaker 6>confidence within myself now within a man, now within what

0:55:44.000 --> 0:55:46.319
<v Speaker 6>they say, he say, she say. It was just like

0:55:46.440 --> 0:55:48.880
<v Speaker 6>what do you think about yourself? And I had to

0:55:48.960 --> 0:55:53.200
<v Speaker 6>learn that as an adult, like love you, love every

0:55:53.320 --> 0:55:55.520
<v Speaker 6>ounce of what you see in that mirror every morning

0:55:55.560 --> 0:55:58.400
<v Speaker 6>that you wake up like you are a beautiful black woman.

0:55:58.520 --> 0:56:00.920
<v Speaker 6>God picked you to look this way and be this

0:56:00.960 --> 0:56:03.359
<v Speaker 6>way for a reason, and I know God don't make

0:56:03.440 --> 0:56:04.279
<v Speaker 6>no mistakes.

0:56:04.520 --> 0:56:07.839
<v Speaker 4>So I feel like, love who you are.

0:56:08.600 --> 0:56:12.359
<v Speaker 6>Don't don't let an image a lifestyle did take who

0:56:12.480 --> 0:56:15.640
<v Speaker 6>you are as a person. Love every ounce of you

0:56:16.200 --> 0:56:17.920
<v Speaker 6>and you will see how that would make you feel,

0:56:18.239 --> 0:56:20.160
<v Speaker 6>you know, on the inside, make your heart feel so

0:56:20.280 --> 0:56:22.040
<v Speaker 6>much open and pure. That's why I was like when

0:56:22.080 --> 0:56:26.200
<v Speaker 6>I became an adult, I'm like, you know what, I'm

0:56:26.320 --> 0:56:29.360
<v Speaker 6>tired of listening to what or looking on the internet,

0:56:29.920 --> 0:56:33.560
<v Speaker 6>especially these girls that are so lost in image and lifestyle.

0:56:34.080 --> 0:56:34.759
<v Speaker 4>That's not me.

0:56:35.320 --> 0:56:37.879
<v Speaker 6>I want to love me first before I could let

0:56:37.920 --> 0:56:40.400
<v Speaker 6>the world love me. I want to love me first

0:56:40.880 --> 0:56:43.279
<v Speaker 6>before you know. I'm like, I can't. I can't keep

0:56:43.320 --> 0:56:45.560
<v Speaker 6>living my life for other people. I want to love

0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:49.960
<v Speaker 6>learn to love me therapy, you know, me reading and

0:56:50.000 --> 0:56:53.560
<v Speaker 6>looking at real you know, spiritual reels. I'm learning to

0:56:53.640 --> 0:56:55.759
<v Speaker 6>love me. And for a long time, I didn't love me.

0:56:56.160 --> 0:56:58.000
<v Speaker 6>I didn't even know who I was. I didn't even

0:56:58.040 --> 0:57:01.719
<v Speaker 6>know what love was. But I think I finally finally

0:57:01.840 --> 0:57:04.200
<v Speaker 6>knew what love was like at the age of thirty

0:57:04.200 --> 0:57:06.680
<v Speaker 6>five or thirty six, I didn't know what it was.

0:57:06.800 --> 0:57:08.439
<v Speaker 6>I just didn't know what it was because I didn't

0:57:08.480 --> 0:57:12.680
<v Speaker 6>come from love. I came from chaos. So now as

0:57:12.719 --> 0:57:17.000
<v Speaker 6>a woman, I love every ounce of me down to

0:57:17.080 --> 0:57:17.840
<v Speaker 6>the big terrier.

0:57:18.320 --> 0:57:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I love me, even that black even that black big toe.

0:57:20.880 --> 0:57:25.480
<v Speaker 4>Now, yes it ain't black, not you confirming.

0:57:28.520 --> 0:57:29.959
<v Speaker 1>What black toe.

0:57:30.400 --> 0:57:35.160
<v Speaker 6>No it's actually whir it's a white Yeah, I gotta white.

0:57:36.080 --> 0:57:36.880
<v Speaker 2>I ain't never seen that.

0:57:38.760 --> 0:57:42.320
<v Speaker 6>Answer to that, but no, yeah they're white, they're white. Yeah,

0:57:42.360 --> 0:57:43.280
<v Speaker 6>but I love that too.

0:57:43.440 --> 0:57:46.040
<v Speaker 3>But you know, I feel like that's an experience, not

0:57:46.480 --> 0:57:49.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, not only just for you. A lot of

0:57:49.240 --> 0:57:54.080
<v Speaker 3>women struggle with self love, and you know, oftentimes we

0:57:54.280 --> 0:57:56.560
<v Speaker 3>know it is in our late thirties and forties when

0:57:56.600 --> 0:58:00.720
<v Speaker 3>we're starting to feel like, now I'm fully okay with me.

0:58:01.120 --> 0:58:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm fully okay with who.

0:58:02.840 --> 0:58:04.880
<v Speaker 3>I am, and I'm I'm living in it and I'm

0:58:04.880 --> 0:58:08.360
<v Speaker 3>walking it in. And once you start doing that, it exustes.

0:58:08.440 --> 0:58:11.640
<v Speaker 3>People can tell, you know, people can see that, yes,

0:58:12.040 --> 0:58:14.960
<v Speaker 3>when you're fully loving yourself. So that is good advice,

0:58:15.600 --> 0:58:18.560
<v Speaker 3>not just to the Chocolate Sisters, but everybody listening to me.

0:58:18.640 --> 0:58:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that there are a lot of light skinned

0:58:20.200 --> 0:58:23.320
<v Speaker 1>women who also have self esteem issues, a lot of

0:58:23.800 --> 0:58:26.120
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and it might come through, you know,

0:58:26.240 --> 0:58:30.760
<v Speaker 1>as promiscuity, you know, growing up things like that, them

0:58:30.800 --> 0:58:33.080
<v Speaker 1>just letting anybody have back, and that's just all of us.

0:58:33.200 --> 0:58:33.360
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:58:33.680 --> 0:58:36.480
<v Speaker 1>So this so this past Saturday, y'all was my birthday.

0:58:36.480 --> 0:58:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Tell me, hey, birthday, and I turned I turned like

0:58:40.200 --> 0:58:44.240
<v Speaker 1>three d. I turned four d right, and with my

0:58:44.280 --> 0:58:47.040
<v Speaker 1>little post on social media, I put like this, like

0:58:47.080 --> 0:58:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm hugging Lot Ashley with the Jerry curl, okay, because

0:58:50.680 --> 0:58:53.880
<v Speaker 1>that was my insecurity growing up. I was chunky with

0:58:53.960 --> 0:58:56.080
<v Speaker 1>a goddamn Jerry curl. My mom will not let me

0:58:56.080 --> 0:58:58.520
<v Speaker 1>get that damn curl out my fucking head because you know,

0:58:58.600 --> 0:59:01.800
<v Speaker 1>she had to work all day. So low maintenance Jerry curle,

0:59:01.880 --> 0:59:04.000
<v Speaker 1>get that shit done once every couple months. Put your

0:59:04.040 --> 0:59:06.880
<v Speaker 1>juice in there. I used to be leaving juice on

0:59:07.000 --> 0:59:11.880
<v Speaker 1>the bus window growing up, and I used to suck

0:59:11.960 --> 0:59:14.360
<v Speaker 1>my thumb. So I'm like, God, damn mama, like it's

0:59:14.400 --> 0:59:16.400
<v Speaker 1>either the thumb sucking or the Jerry curl, Like I

0:59:16.480 --> 0:59:18.400
<v Speaker 1>need one of them to get away. So I fell

0:59:18.480 --> 0:59:20.760
<v Speaker 1>in love with this little boy in the hood and

0:59:20.800 --> 0:59:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't get the Jerry curl out, so I stopped

0:59:22.800 --> 0:59:28.920
<v Speaker 1>sucking my thumb. So that's who I'm hugging, little black

0:59:28.920 --> 0:59:30.440
<v Speaker 1>ass actually with the Jerry curl.

0:59:31.240 --> 0:59:33.160

<v Speaker 4>He passed away December twenty twenty one, so I'm sorry.

1:07:00.920 --> 1:07:03.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that that was the whole difference, and that's a

1:07:03.840 --> 1:07:04.680
<v Speaker 6>whole different story.

1:07:04.720 --> 1:07:06.320
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, he passed away.

1:07:06.520 --> 1:07:11.280
<v Speaker 6>But my child, well, my boyfriend and my child saw

1:07:11.360 --> 1:07:13.040
<v Speaker 6>him first when he came in this world.

1:07:13.080 --> 1:07:15.400
<v Speaker 4>Besides the doctors. He saw him first. He didn't even

1:07:15.440 --> 1:07:16.160
<v Speaker 4>see me first.

1:07:16.600 --> 1:07:19.640
<v Speaker 6>So he's been calling him dad before he called his

1:07:19.720 --> 1:07:22.520
<v Speaker 6>real dad dad. That's the only dad. Well that he

1:07:22.720 --> 1:07:25.120
<v Speaker 6>that's the main dad that my child knows. He knows

1:07:25.160 --> 1:07:27.680
<v Speaker 6>his real dad. They had a relationship, but that's the

1:07:27.800 --> 1:07:32.040
<v Speaker 6>dad that he knows. So that's that was my story.

1:07:32.240 --> 1:07:33.880
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you try to play with me with this

1:07:33.920 --> 1:07:36.680
<v Speaker 6>girl you got. She got pregnant three or four times,

1:07:36.920 --> 1:07:40.080
<v Speaker 6>but I got one big successful being on your damn head.

1:07:40.240 --> 1:07:44.000
<v Speaker 6>I got a baby. Where your other kids at? She

1:07:44.200 --> 1:07:49.320
<v Speaker 6>switched the number around, I got a baby.

1:07:49.440 --> 1:07:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I try to be funny though, but what you

1:07:52.920 --> 1:07:56.200
<v Speaker 1>like when your when your son's dad passed away? Like,

1:07:56.440 --> 1:07:58.400
<v Speaker 1>did y'all see that video recently where the dude was

1:07:58.440 --> 1:08:00.240

<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, yeh.

1:08:04.440 --> 1:08:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Came in there like wow, I was. I was thinking that,

1:08:11.000 --> 1:08:12.360
<v Speaker 2>but I ain't want to ask it because.

1:08:12.200 --> 1:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I already know the story already.

1:08:16.560 --> 1:08:19.320
<v Speaker 6>He did not, Like I was in there crying in

1:08:19.360 --> 1:08:21.599
<v Speaker 6>the garage when I find out my baby daddy died.

1:08:21.960 --> 1:08:25.800
<v Speaker 4>He called for work. I was like, what the fuck

1:08:25.920 --> 1:08:26.680

<v Speaker 4>Like it was my friend? He was.

1:08:34.160 --> 1:08:37.760
<v Speaker 6>Girl, Yeah, he was my friend first. But I think

1:08:37.800 --> 1:08:39.360
<v Speaker 6>that was just the emotion.

1:08:39.080 --> 1:08:43.360

<v Speaker 6>He was my best friend before we became my baby daddy.

1:08:46.600 --> 1:08:48.120
<v Speaker 6>And that's why I think a lot of people miss

<v Speaker 6>like we known each other since we were six years old.

1:08:51.240 --> 1:08:53.800
