However, when 423 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 2: I found out that Roseanne was a Donald stand, I 424 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 2: decided not to watch. 425 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: What confuses the shift out of me is. 426 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 2: How Roseanne, the show and the characters somehow became the 427 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 2: right wing family next door. The Connors weren't religious, church going, 428 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: or even overly patriotic. Roseanne the show was really the 429 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 2: first show that tackled gender stereotypes, openly talked about menstruation, 430 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: family sexual abuse, vegetarianism, and mental illness. The Connors' daughters 431 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: were on birth control and having premarital sex. Roseanne was 432 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 2: a female business owner. Jackie was a single mom. Dan 433 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 2: had black and white friends. They talked about acceptance. There 434 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 2: were two LGBTQ regular characters. It was the most left 435 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 2: show out there. I don't understand the trajectory. Dan on 436 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 2: the show would care more about the sports and be 437 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 2: pissed off about the politics around football, but Darlene would 438 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 2: certainly support taking the knee. AnyWho I've gotten into a ran, 439 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,479 Speaker 2: I've gotten into a ran. 440 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: De Chapelle was right. 441 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 2: White people going to white, even fictional white characters.

And then that's what happens. People go, well, 667 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 2: it couldn't be that bad, you know. And I've heard 668 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 2: people who have said he's not transphobic or the jokes 669 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 2: aren't transphobic, but they always are from transphobic people. I mean, 670 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 2: I think everybody has some transphobia in them, but it's 671 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 2: always from people who are very blatantly like that. And 672 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 2: I think what bothers me and gets to me the 673 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 2: most is how often those voices are black men, like 674 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 2: Sis had, Black men that want to be part of 675 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 2: this wave of making sure that we have these attitudes 676 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 2: that we know in danger and oppress a huge part 677 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 2: of our own community, And yet we won't want like 678 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 2: and yet we don't understand how we can be a 679 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 2: menace at times when we when we do that kind 680 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 2: of shit, the things we say about women. We can 681 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 2: be a menace at times when we do that kind 682 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 2: of shit, but we don't want to take any responsibility 683 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: because hey, I'm a black man and I'm also oppressed. 684 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 2: You know, cops see me and shoot me. I can 685 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 2: get killed and nobody will care, like nobody will stop. 686 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. Okay, cool, you're right, that's wrong. I 687 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 2: agree we should so should be done about that, and 688 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 2: I'm on your side. But then if I if that happened, 689 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 2: that same thing happened to a trans person, you'd be like, yeah, 690 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 2: fuck that. I don't have to care, and that that 691 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 2: shit bothers me. But you know, anyway, I just want 692 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 2: to be on record. It's funny that Andy said people 693 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 2: will people get so uptight these days are so scared 694 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 2: to laugh that the second so one even brings up 695 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 2: a topic, they start. 696 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: Hearing what they want to hear. 697 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 2: And this is this is how this feels, because that's 698 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 2: not what happened in that conversation. You know, like Dave 699 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 2: Chapelle definitely has transphobic jokes, and I don't get to 700 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 2: decide how bad they are. And other people can say 701 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 2: it's not bad to them, because I also don't get 702 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 2: to decide for them. 703 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: But I think it's bad. I'll just leave it at that, 704 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: you know, so. 705 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 2: But I appreciate you right now, Jane says, I totally 706 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 2: missed the second guess, the race the mom who takes 707 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 2: their son to get them up for Easter church.

I ain't technology grand Come on, I 710 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 2: know kids getting their ass with tases. Now that's the 711 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 2: wild shit. Even he says, I haven't watched Roseanne's reboot 712 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 2: even Yo. By the way, this is another thing that 713 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 2: gets on my nerves. Man, It's really difficult to watch. 714 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 2: And this is just this intersection I live at, or 715 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 2: just this this the things I can't help but notice 716 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 2: it's really difficult to watch people talk about how they won't. 717 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 1: Watch the Roseanne reboot and it's not funny. 718 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,439 Speaker 2: But they were the same motherfuckers that were like up 719 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 2: in arms at anyone that had a word to say 720 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 2: about Chappelle and his transfho of you, Like, I don't understand, 721 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 2: how can't you see it's. 722 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: The same fucking thing, you know what I mean? 723 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 2: Like, how can't you see that the impulse that the 724 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 2: white that white people who love Roseanne right now, the 725 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 2: same anger they have towards us to like, how these niggers, 726 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch this show, fuck with their it's funny. 727 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 2: So if you can't make jokes and let you agree 728 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 2: with him and shit like that, that's the same thing 729 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 2: I heard people saying about the Chappelle shit. And Dave 730 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 2: Chappelle is a man who quit his job because a 731 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 2: white person laughed wrong at the wrong part of his joke. 732 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle's the same. 733 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 2: Dude that had a long ass like rant on I 734 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 2: think it was Oprah interview or whatever about how he 735 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 2: would never wear a dress as a black male comedian 736 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 2: because of how they try to domean black male comedians 737 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 2: by putting them in dresses, and so he understands the 738 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 2: nuances and the psychological warfare and all this shit when 739 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,879 Speaker 2: it comes to this stuff. But yet if you bring 740 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 2: up this transphobic shit, he completely opts the fuck out. 741 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 2: And it's frustrating because I know he can get it, 742 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,399 Speaker 2: and I know he probably does get it, but when 743 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 2: it comes to that, it's just jokes. But it's never 744 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 2: just really jokes with him, because that dude is a 745 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 2: political commentator. That dude is a philosopher at times when 746 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 2: he wants to be. People will repeat his bits for 747 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 2: years because they resonate, like the Clayton Bisbie shit or 748 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 2: the you know or even like you know, his bit 749 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 2: about you know, white people reading a paper killing niggas 750 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 2: an't left jazz and shit like that, like even some 751 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 2: of those jokes gentrification we talked about DC. Like maybe 752 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 2: he didn't quote unquote mean to be that guy. Maybe 753 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 2: that's the whole point. But I know he can get it, 754 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 2: and he's emblematic of a lot of brothers, a lot 755 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 2: of brothers that can get it. 756 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: That's sharp. 757 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 2: They just don't want to get it when they're on 758 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 2: the other side of that equation. 759 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,359 Speaker 1: Well, it's not convenient, then fuck it. But I've seen 760 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: so many. 761 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 2: Niggas opine about like I won't support Roseanne. It is 762 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 2: normalizing Trump votings, which is normalizing racism, which is normalizing bigotry, 763 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 2: and we shouldn't do this is sanitizing this, da da da, 764 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 2: And they have all these things to say. And then 765 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 2: if I say, well, isn't Chappelle kind of normalizing transphobia 766 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 2: and isn't that like some shit that he can improve on? Man, 767 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 2: First of all, if you don't think it's funny, fuck 768 00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 2: you don't watch. Okay, Okay, we get stuck here again. 769 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 2: So it's frustrating. But as a black man, this is 770 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 2: the world I live in. 771 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:06,359 Speaker 1: These are my. 772 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 2: Peers, these are my contemporaries. If I had to if 773 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 2: I was only friends with niggas dad was on the 774 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 2: shit I was on, I wouldn't have no friends, to 775 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 2: be honest, That's how fucked up it is. 776 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:18,439 Speaker 1: Eve. 777 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 2: He says, I haven't watched the Roseanne reboot. Even though 778 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 2: I used to watch the original series and enjoyed it, 779 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 2: I won't watch it now because frankly, Roseanne is a 780 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 2: horrible person. 781 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: And while I try to separate the person from the art. 782 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 1: I refuse to support that. 783 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 2: The fact that dope, that dope forty five called to 784 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 2: congratulate her stealed it from me. They're trying to normalize 785 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,240 Speaker 2: its presidency, and I want no part of it. Roseanne 786 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 2: is basically trying to get people to say, even though 787 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 2: you voted for the jackass. 788 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: You're not a horrible person. Right, Well, she's just the 789 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: latest one to do it, and they've been looking for 790 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: a vehicle to do it, and she has really found 791 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: a way to capitalize on it so far. I heard 792 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: the second rating. Second week ratings were very strong as well. 793 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, like twenty some million people, and that wasn't even 794 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 5: including like the DV, Like a lot of people actually 795 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 5: watched that she lies m m. That wouldn't include in 796 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 5: the DVR. The next stage, you know how all those 797 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 5: numbers and they were saying that those numbers were. 798 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 3: Even gonna be higher, and they said something. 799 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 5: Like she captured like a huge percentage of people that 800 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 5: was fifty and under. 801 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: You know what's funny, it just talks. 802 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 2: That's another example of just how small the circles that 803 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 2: I live in are, because I don't know anyone's watching 804 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 2: that show, but It's probably the highest right to comedy 805 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 2: on TV right now. 806 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 3: It is number one. 807 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 2: All my people watch Atlanta and Shit, and I bet 808 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,280 Speaker 2: you it's not even fucking with Roseanne ratings. 809 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: That's wild. I have a theory about this show anyway. 810 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 2: My guess after the ratings come out for the double 811 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 2: for Mere was the ratings will eventually dwindle down, not 812 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 2: saying it won'ts to have a following, but it won't 813 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 2: be this big. They've already decided to decline after the 814 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 2: second week, started to decline after the second week. He's 815 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,720 Speaker 2: the writers begging people to give a show a chance. Nope, 816 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 2: fuck Roseanne. Yeah, I don't know. I heard the ratings 817 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 2: are strong going into the second week, but maybe I'm wrong. 818 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's what I read anyway, That's what 819 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 1: I read. 820 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 2: Through, So I don't know, And it would probably be 821 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 2: they would probably have to fall off quite a way, 822 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 2: you know. And if people are just watching out a 823 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 2: spike and the show's not funny, then I understand. But 824 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 2: if Randolph and Andy were correct, I mean, you got 825 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 2: norm writing for that ship, you got Wander writing for 826 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,360 Speaker 2: that shit. I mean, the motherfuckers are funny, like they 827 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 2: gonna find a way to make that form of Roseanne acceptable, 828 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 2: and it's funny we do.
