00:00:00.000 So this was her response after the comments.
00:00:04.400 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. 0.71
00:00:23.620 But see, no, some of y'all were too busy naming and shaming me personally and black women in 0.97
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
00:00:43.260 long as you're doing your best.
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
00:01:00.280 into the bigotry of low expectations.
00:01:03.660 So I'm going to say one more time, there's absolutely nothing wrong with driving a bus.
00:01:08.580 My mother, Gloria, drove one for years.
00:01:11.380 But could it be that black America has been sold a narrative of average, regular and typical
00:01:17.460 being good enough for us?
00:01:19.480 Well, see, that's called white supremacy. 0.72
00:01:22.900 And in this case, it takes the form of conditioning black Americans to happily accept being a permanent 1.00
00:01:29.580 American underclass.
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.
00:01:44.480 What do you guys think of a response?
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 1.00
00:01:55.880 to it.
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
00:02:16.780 life.
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
00:02:26.200 that.
00:02:26.700 But you're still entitled to have that as long as you're not disrespecting other people.
00:02:31.440 That is it.
00:02:32.240 I think it's as simple as that.
00:02:34.580 What do you guys think?
00:02:35.920 I think her response was lit.
00:02:39.360 I feel like people are a bit too comfortable.
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 0.94
00:02:47.760 advantages.
00:02:48.960 But that interview when she was like, y'all need to work fucking hard.
00:02:51.840 And then everybody got onto her as well.
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
00:03:00.220 was definitely a stretch.
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
00:03:09.740 to office jobs and stuff.
00:03:10.500 We might not get that application.
00:03:11.860 So I feel like I get that point.
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
00:03:21.280 further.
00:03:21.620 I don't think she was doing it to like knock them down.
00:03:24.280 I personally think it's motivational.
00:03:26.200 If I was a bus driver, I would quit my job.
00:03:28.220 But she's acting like she's so much better than him.
00:03:30.920 But that's what I don't get.
00:03:31.860 That's not what I take that though.
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
00:03:46.940 a bus driver.
00:03:48.240 All you're doing is talking.
00:03:50.040 And we have so much privilege being women where, especially when we're in entertainment, 0.99
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.
00:04:06.860 She literally said she wants better for them.
00:04:09.020 And for herself.
00:04:10.340 Okay.
00:04:10.560 But if she said she wouldn't date one.
00:04:12.900 Because she doesn't want that. 0.53
00:04:13.980 Yeah.
00:04:14.200 Like, if, if, that's why I said it's like, maybe a cleaner or like an Uber driver might
00:04:18.800 be happy to drive a bus, to date a bus driver.
00:04:21.740 But if she's a news reporter and she just happens to not want to date a bus driver. 0.93
00:04:25.480 Personally, I don't, I don't see an issue with it.
00:04:27.920 I think there's, okay.
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 1.00
00:04:46.120 10% of men that will most likely not going to be able to obtain because there's such a
00:04:51.420 small portion.
00:04:52.680 So I feel like that's where she's being.
00:04:55.280 And that's why I'm understanding everyone when they're saying sometimes it's good to
00:04:58.420 set up for less.
00:04:59.580 But if she's in her ways where she just feels like, okay, do you know what?
00:05:02.540 I can do better.
00:05:03.340 And probably she's been in rooms of people who have been doing better than just for
00:05:06.900 like, you just let her be.
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. 0.96
00:05:15.400 Like you really can't tell.
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 1.00
00:05:26.060 because she's not saying she wants a billionaire.
00:05:27.580 Do you know what a chance of being married is?
00:05:29.440 No.
00:05:30.500 What is it?
00:05:30.800 That age.
00:05:31.680 Hit me with it.
00:05:32.300 Yeah.
00:05:32.900 Yeah.
00:05:33.160 12%.
00:05:34.360 But that doesn't mean she should first.
00:05:35.860 I'll be in that song sometime.
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.
00:05:45.120 Let's be honest.
00:05:46.240 And then my opinion, if you've got a good career and you feel like so hard for your career,
00:05:49.640 why can't you then take care and wear that? 0.52
00:05:51.620 You want to do that, right?
00:05:52.880 Do it then.
00:05:53.380 Why do you need now someone?
00:05:54.760 Yeah.
00:05:55.040 You wanted to do that.
00:05:56.180 You chose that.
00:05:56.980 Then do it.
00:05:57.780 Why now you want someone with high value?
00:05:59.960 That's my point.
00:06:00.840 It don't make sense.
00:06:01.560 That's my point because at 22, she could have married a provider. 1.00
00:06:05.740 She could have had been in that position, but she chose to go after it.
00:06:10.180 That's fine.
00:06:11.080 I'm not knocking you for it.
00:06:12.540 But then you get to that position and now you require someone that makes more.
00:06:17.120 It's like, well, why did you go for that?
00:06:18.880 Yeah.
00:06:18.980 My question is, why does she feel like she is above? 0.98
00:06:24.320 What is it that she's doing?
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?
00:06:34.660 I don't know, like a newscast or something.
00:06:36.720 News is important.
00:06:37.620 She's on TV every day. 0.68
00:06:38.640 She must have done something great for her to feel that.
00:06:43.540 You know.
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.
00:06:52.920 I think she's just delusional.
00:06:55.060 This is what they say.
00:06:55.960 Listening to the reporter's response, that's why she's 39 and alone.
00:06:59.360 She should buy a dog.
00:07:00.200 It has nothing to do with race.
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. 1.00
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
00:07:21.440 that are doing the hard jobs.
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?
00:07:32.420 She looks good.
00:07:33.600 Why are you not married and settled down?
00:07:35.500 Yeah, no, she's very... 0.99
00:07:36.040 What's wrong with her for her? 1.00
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. 1.00
00:07:48.300 You're a loser.
00:07:49.340 And so she's a loser out here, and she's shitting on an average dude. 1.00
00:07:55.800 Let her live in her delusion. 0.92
00:07:57.240 You know what?
00:07:57.600 Sometimes delusion pays off.
00:07:59.080 So let her live in her delusion, and she may find, and she will have to accept.
00:08:04.960 What's the definition of insanity?
00:08:07.000 Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.
00:08:10.160 Exactly.
00:08:11.340 That's my point.
00:08:12.960 There's no context here with this lady.
00:08:14.780 That's the hardest thing.
00:08:15.660 We don't even know.
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.
00:08:23.260 In that example, she's not a loser.
00:08:25.440 I think she's actually doing the right thing.
