These things were platformed through music, 180 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: through fashion, through media covering it, and the conversation was 181 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: about how can we protec you know, this group of 182 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: people because this will spark hate. I read the BAFTA 183 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: apology that they put up where they apologize to you know, 184 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: Michael B.

So we've 232 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: talked about as like black women, like all of my 233 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: black women listeners, I always talk to you you guys directly, 234 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: even without knowing it, because there are little things that 235 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: we do like the clocket and all the things and 236 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: mm hmm, like like girl, like I could just say girl, 237 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: and you know what's about to come next? 238 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: Right? 239 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: We have this like these these things, the body language, 240 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: the words that we use that you just know. 241 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: When I looked at Michael B. 242 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: Jordan and Del Rolando in that video and I saw 243 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: their body and I saw how they tightened up in 244 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: that moment, I'm like, they know they can't even blink 245 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: the wrong way right now, literally, because then the story 246 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: becomes about their reaction and not about what was done. 247 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: So it takes them from being a victim of a 248 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: moment they should have not had to endure to anything 249 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: else that people would have wanted to put on them depending. 250 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 2: On how they reacted. And I was so happy that. 251 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: They handled it the way that they did, only because 252 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: I'm like the world needs to respond for them. But 253 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: I was so it broke my heart that they had 254 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: to do that. And Del Rolando gave a statement to 255 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: a Vanity Fair and he told talked about you know 256 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: how after the Awards show, he just wishes someone from 257 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: the bath door, like you know organization had come and 258 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: talked to them about what had just happened, and that 259 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: I know of that has not still happened yet. I 260 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 1: did reach out to Bathta, and I plan to reach 261 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: out to Michael B. Jordan and Devery Lindo's teams to 262 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: see if there's any update there, because I can't imagine 263 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: they haven't reached out at this at this point. If 264 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: they haven't, someone over there is just very culturally incompetent 265 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: and just not a good human being. Dever Lindo said 266 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: to Vanity Fair about the moment, we were just doing 267 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: what we knew we had to do, and we always 268 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: are just doing what we gotta do, like we always are, 269 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: and that's never Honestly, I don't have hope that that 270 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: will ever change, you know, And I can't speak for 271 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: anyone else or any other racist. I've always just only 272 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: been a black woman. But it's always, well, you gotta 273 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: do what you gotta do. It's always that, and it's 274 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: frustrating because I look around and I think about, you know, 275 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: everything I experienced on this cruise. 276 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: I mean Keisha Cole and her. 277 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: Beautiful ability to sing and all the support she had 278 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: in the room, Monica and just her storytelling her how 279 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: she's been a part of our lives, telling these stories. 280 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 2: Literally, my whole life. I'm thirty four years old. 281 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: S WV went completely acapella y'all on that stage mid 282 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: c because their sound wasn't what they needed it to be, 283 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: and delivered motivational speeches.
