Moving on to a comedian and talk show host, 30 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: Sherry Shepherd Well, Sherry took time out of her show 31 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: on Monday recently to send a message to NBC and 32 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live.

For instance, Keenan Thomas, Keenan 37 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: Thompson played Rooby Goldberg, and even Sherry herself was impersonated 38 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: once by a male comic. On the show, Cherry said, quote, 39 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty five. Don't tell me you can't find anybody. 40 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: There's so much talent out there. This shouldn't even be 41 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: a debate. So do any you agree with her? Do 42 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: any female comedians come to mind. 43 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: Ain't nobody told Shay antimod I anybody ton so they 44 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: don't have to. 45 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: She talked about twenty twenty five. It's Project twenty twenty five. 46 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: That's what happened in this get yeah. See y'all, y'all 47 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 3: listen to me. They cutting out everything, you know. Can 48 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,559 Speaker 3: I make a comment. 49 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,119 Speaker 2: On dee I too, Sure? 50 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 3: Here's the problem with d Charlie Kirk said one time 51 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: he was talking to a young African American and Charlie 52 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 3: Kirk said to him he didn't like DEI because it 53 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: lowers the standards. And then he said, like, suppose the 54 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 3: NBA had DEI in it and you had to have 55 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: X amount of white players? 56 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: How would you all feel about that? See? 57 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: But that mask what DEI really is. And I've given 58 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:36,839 Speaker 3: this some thought. DI is for equity and inclusion and diversification. 59 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: What DEI does is it forces people behind the scenes, 60 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: in board rooms, in HR departments, and in interview rooms. 61 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 3: It forces them to consider other people that they would 62 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: not consider because they normally take the stance of hining 63 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: their friends and people that look a lot like them. 64 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: That's why DEEI came about to force them DI does 65 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: not lower standards at all. All it does is it 66 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 3: forces you to consider someone else. See, the reason there 67 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: is no need for DEI in the NBA is because 68 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: everything is upfront. We all know the court is ninety 69 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: four feet long. We all know the free throw fifteen 70 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 3: feet from the basket. We all see that the basket 71 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 3: it's ten feet high. We all know what traveling is, 72 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 3: we know what charging is. We know where the file is, 73 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 3: and it's played in front of everybody. So it's hard 74 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 3: to do what y'all been doing in board rooms HR 75 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: and interview rooms because it's all out front. On the 76 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: football field, we see it. All the rules is on 77 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 3: display for everybody. So if you dishonted the rules cause 78 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: the person's color, we can see it. DEI was created 79 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 3: will force you behind the scenes to consider other. 80 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: People that don't look like you. So that old statement 81 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: he made about it. 82 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 3: If I get on the pilot, if I get on 83 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: the plane I see a black pilot, i'ma be concerned. 84 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: When you get on the plane you see a black 85 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 2: person up there, Go in your. 86 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 3: Seat, put your seat belt on, buckle up, get your iPad, 87 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: start playing in one of your games, and relax.
