So after the 50,000 plus comments posted on social, I only saw a handful that even
00:00:10.400
considered the possibility of a bus owner being a more aspirational position and recognizing that
00:00:17.360
I am actually speaking and pouring into the ascension of black men when I said what I said.
00:00:23.620
But see, no, some of y'all were too busy naming and shaming me personally and black women in
00:00:29.120
general as undesirable gold diggers and much worse.
00:00:34.020
Now, I suspect that some of y'all are the same men that were bringing home C's and D's on
00:00:38.560
your report cards, only to then be coddled by parents that said, well, that's OK, as
00:00:45.340
Well, listen, I love and believe in the excellence of black men.
00:00:49.200
So no, my dear, C's and D's or any other form of mediocrity is not OK.
00:00:54.820
No, I will not create a soft place for you or anybody that I love to fall comfortably
00:01:03.660
So I'm going to say one more time, there's absolutely nothing wrong with driving a bus.
00:01:11.380
But could it be that black America has been sold a narrative of average, regular and typical
00:01:22.900
And in this case, it takes the form of conditioning black Americans to happily accept being a permanent
00:01:32.080
But see, because I know the truth about black folk in America.
00:01:35.780
No, average is not and will never be good enough for me.
00:01:40.360
And the gag is, I don't think it's good enough for you either.
00:01:48.860
I'm not sure what race got to do with anything.
00:01:50.860
Yeah, I didn't agree with the whole white, I think that was a bit extreme to tying race
00:01:56.380
Actually, I didn't even watch the response before, but I was like, wait, what?
00:02:00.640
Yeah, I don't think we needed, I don't think that was necessary because I don't like, I
00:02:05.120
feel like we need to be responsible for ourselves, like not always bringing the race guard sometimes.
00:02:08.740
But I just think I get, that's kind of what I was saying.
00:02:12.540
I just feel like you are so entitled to your standard and what you want and accept in your
00:02:17.260
However, you need to be aware of the repercussions of that.
00:02:20.620
So if you're going for this top 1%, just be aware that you may not ever get it and accept
00:02:26.700
But you're still entitled to have that as long as you're not disrespecting other people.
00:02:42.120
It's like, I don't know if you guys ever saw that interview.
00:02:45.000
Obviously Kim Kardashian is probably the wrong person to say it because she definitely had
00:02:48.960
But that interview when she was like, y'all need to work fucking hard.
00:02:53.540
It's like, I feel like in general, people have like a certain comfortability.
00:02:56.960
And I think with her, I don't think she was saying, well, the whole white supremacy thing
00:03:01.020
But I feel like in general, I guess as like ethnic people, we're more comfortable with
00:03:05.120
jobs like bus drivers, because in general, we're kind of like pushed down when it comes
00:03:13.640
But in general, like I said, I said it from the beginning.
00:03:16.600
I said her conversation, she sparked that to wake up a bus driver and get him to work
00:03:21.620
I don't think she was doing it to like knock them down.
00:03:28.220
But she's acting like she's so much better than him.
00:03:34.320
Because she literally said, she literally said, try for harder or better.
00:03:38.000
But it's like, well, why don't you try for better?
00:03:39.880
When it's like all you're doing, like, I just think, wait, wait.
00:03:42.920
I just think it's mad that all she's doing is talking and she thinks she's better than
00:03:50.040
And we have so much privilege being women where, especially when we're in entertainment,
00:03:56.980
it's like, we have a privilege that men don't have.
00:03:59.540
And you're going to shit on a guy who has a job that makes society run.
00:04:03.660
But I don't think she said that she thinks she's better.
00:04:14.200
Like, if, if, that's why I said it's like, maybe a cleaner or like an Uber driver might
00:04:21.740
But if she's a news reporter and she just happens to not want to date a bus driver.
00:04:25.480
Personally, I don't, I don't see an issue with it.
00:04:29.060
I think there's nothing wrong with being aspirational.
00:04:32.200
But I think when you look at things from a factual perspective, the type of person that
00:04:36.980
she's looking for is probably a part of, is part of the 10 and 20%.
00:04:40.740
So that's why I feel like there's like a good 70% of women trying to grab this 20 or
00:04:46.120
10% of men that will most likely not going to be able to obtain because there's such a
00:04:55.280
And that's why I'm understanding everyone when they're saying sometimes it's good to
00:04:59.580
But if she's in her ways where she just feels like, okay, do you know what?
00:05:03.340
And probably she's been in rooms of people who have been doing better than just for
00:05:08.280
Because at the same time, she didn't say she wants a billionaire.
00:05:11.100
Like maybe she'd just prefer a train driver or a boat driver.
00:05:16.980
That's what I'm saying is like, she's entitled to her preference.
00:05:20.020
She doesn't have to be, you know, like a billionaire herself to not want to date a bus driver
00:05:26.060
because she's not saying she wants a billionaire.
00:05:36.740
So my opinion with this, I feel like as a woman, you should have standards, but then
00:05:41.180
there is a time and place like at that age, your standards should go a bit lower.
00:05:46.240
And then my opinion, if you've got a good career and you feel like so hard for your career,
00:06:01.560
That's my point because at 22, she could have married a provider.
00:06:05.740
She could have had been in that position, but she chose to go after it.
00:06:12.540
But then you get to that position and now you require someone that makes more.
00:06:18.980
My question is, why does she feel like she is above?
00:06:25.420
I just want to know, like, what is it that she's doing?
00:06:27.420
She's clearly doing something correct for her to have that opinion.
00:06:31.160
But what part of it made you think that she thinks she's above?
00:06:38.640
She must have done something great for her to feel that.
00:06:44.800
But what part of what she said made you feel like she felt that she was better than you?
00:06:48.980
No, I think that she must be doing something great to have that opinion.
00:06:55.960
Listening to the reporter's response, that's why she's 39 and alone.
00:07:01.760
Because, like, my whole point is he's in a job that makes society run.
00:07:06.360
And none of, like, women in general, none of us would be able to do anything
00:07:09.380
if the men didn't build society to a point that it runs.
00:07:13.340
And so now it's like the men are building and running society.
00:07:17.100
And then we come in and get these cushy jobs and act like we're better than the men
00:07:23.280
So it's not even that she's not a high-value woman.
00:07:25.460
It's that she is perhaps too dominant, in a sense, not feminine enough.
00:07:30.060
Because why is it that she's got a good career?
00:07:38.020
Correct, and so that's why I say she's delusional, because she has this ego where it's like,
00:07:43.580
okay, if you're 40 and you're unmarried, you're basically a loser by women's standards.
00:07:49.340
And so she's a loser out here, and she's shitting on an average dude.
00:07:59.080
So let her live in her delusion, and she may find, and she will have to accept.
00:08:07.000
Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.
00:08:16.080
She might have just came out of a marriage that he's just cheated, so she's left because
00:08:20.000
she's confident in herself and has the self-worth to leave.
