in two years, always make tar for queen like you and how could it be
sport first time aren't stray yeah. Yeah is yes
Yes, MA am absolutely I'm glad the heavy nowhere pressed for time, because you
Bisbees one, so I want to give
right to it? You don't have nevertheless reality shall ever in history right out. I never was a reality.
To watch one in one particular time and just never be now. We have to say constantly in the news watching the news twenty four hours a day, but when you join
real housewives in New York. Obviously I wanted to support you not first and foremost, but I've wanted to make sure that our understood why
we're doin what you were doing because, honestly, I didn't see you away that way. You know like how does she fit into their mouths and now that I'm watching I get it, I get one
You accept this opportunity, it makes total says to me I understand, but I want to ask you just splatter before I can get into that. How are you
on ebony, because this is a huge emotional tall and a lot of folks that don't work in the space that we do
maybe just gonna see these reality shows is what I call it trash tv or you know, entertainment, but to you what your brain,
to that space is what you do all of the time, which is black excellence and understanding the nuances and the importance and how every word matters because of you know your background. So too many
now it may just be entertainment, but to you it is obviously a bit
carry a big, live, an emotional lived, and so you took off social media a couple weeks ago for that reason began. He had this ban
yet, as I appreciate the inquiry right because it
all of what you said. It is my
honor in my privilege to be able right. I get to do this to represent a level of like excellent on this particular platform for the first time, by the way, the franchise history of thirteen years, which is unconscionable, but that's where we are sought, took the hiatus because I am a human being. You know
and you know we all know about those strong black woman narratives and we are strong and were human and we're complicated and we are vulnerable
so for me, it was a requirement to pull away from some of the just more visceral scrutiny.
I'm not new to the right as well. I mean you, and I both have shared space in in in the deepest of arena. Particularly
during appearances in time, if Fox NEWS, so I
It is to get those those horrific trolls, but frankly, after my time, a fox I hadn't really been in those spaces, say it's because I'd more or less been with my people, you know during my work
revolt and other spaces that had been predominantly a blackened of color
So that was just a necessary thing to me. I mean people are gonna, say what they gonna say: that's not my business, but I don't have to
they'll myself to abuse right, and I think that simple
for people announced. I take a step back how my feeling today much much better there,
still some Karen's controls out there. Please believe it, but I'm a big two things to be candid has become the muscle memory right really of of what you know
was used to during those cable news days has come back yet also
I'm a little better equip now for the the tough line, bounce off kind of effect they are used to employ very well, and you don't gotta get, must wag back with them
The other thing is, I'm being so beautifully affirmed by people did appreciate, appreciate this representation at you,
The vast majority of better appreciation looks like us and all of it does it a lot of our people that do not look like us. They also
of our very keenly aware that it is time for something different, something fuller they represent. This is new.
City. For God's sakes, you know how you,
how to show this exclusively white in what is said to be the most.
first city in the world. We don't fifty five percent of New York is both black and latina. It's unacceptable. So I'm getting really positive, love and affirmation that keeps me focused on the work for those who are not watching. I just kind of want to go over that on why you did happen
they they hide, is yet a very challenging episode watch every week. That way, I would talk about chilcats members, but I know you like to bring up
Podcast on the show and whose word remedy some measure year, because I got plenty to say about a couple of those on the gas that you did- you do it, but you took off because
there was a very heated exchange between
you and Lu Lu Start. What did you take up?
when it was between you and low about making the common value being angry black woman, who that's over two weeks a two week period right, because
over that two weeks. There was a few things we need to deal with. We had to deal with the angry black woman comment. We need to deal with my using the phrase white fragility,
we needed to deal with the micro aggression of when Heather called me, articulate so there with a few different, I'm embarrassed prize. Another man
a recent study there that I forget off, but I did because I knew that the react
was gonna, be so severe and I say so
We're tears because they were both people there were
strongly, finally happy
seekers Rony in a lot of ease, you know all white
predominantly white franchises of the platform they they had a displayed. What WU
We call casual racism for years. You know, and I mean that these are not secrets. Their episode will one of those
in any case members why woman on the precise walks into a nice restaurant in Manhattan sees a black man, gives them in her coat and a work here. You know so
stuff, like that. You know there was a lot of controversy roundly when last season,
two seasons ago rather showed up to a Halloween Party dressed,
Diana Ross. It looked like black face to me.
And many others so that that history is there. So I knew that once started really calling a thing, a thing by addressing the fact that when you call a black woman angry when this other white woman just Cassio
call Golly, constantly cousin amount about away you're right right on a daily basis,
Is there I called angry there? Never
ass to leave your home. There is a discrepancy here and I have to that's the work we do Tesla
This is where we do. That's why this shows so dear to my heart straight: shot, no chaser! I also call the thing a thing MA am that is a stereo, typical trope that you are levelling at me, and I will I will always called out in a best mess it up, something
good time to the folks they feel like. They only want to watch this schoeffer sheets and giggles and laughed and entertainment, I'm not going to let why supremacy prevail
for the sake of your entertainment value. I will not do that. I heard this is thank you for being just a support to me. It is so few of us, Madeira,.
and I'm sure you feel the same that I feel like along like truly, even though I know I have both like yourself,
better in this space, where this you'd make a ban, whoever Panada meal, it is such a small group of us
a handful. That really is ok, common thing, a thing and we're
Hey will calling a thing a thing more when front Wifi Box, you know, oh, you call and tell him. Girls is, but then we stuck on a thing of being in front black folks, then that becomes even a bigger problem, so we get it from every
angolan? You wanna talk about that the other night and I am so grateful for you. We get it from every angle. You get it from black, false the people you're fighting more you native to the people that you are fighting white folks. I mean every single angle,
on what it's like to show up in the room and not in
It's only make people uncomfortable not because
the competence and in calling a thing. I think it's just a bothers people ebony. It really really does in
that's being your whole experience and will your whole career right it. It has. If somebody really smart, a good brother, my name Eugene Scott he's at the Washington Post, brilliant journals. I went to school what you doing, what do you and see together a million years ago, Eugene made a good comment, because what you
you said I want to just sit with, which is it's one thing to have you no white supremacist and people. They do the work of upholding. Why supremacy, which sometimes quite his cap, and not all white,
They don't really want hold it up on its wiping out those people be combative and an visceral is something else for me, at least it has. It hits different and really more painful, much more painful when it is your own people, and one of the comments that I did not anticipate with this work in this space on this platform, more people of color in really my own black people, tat talking about how uncomfortable I'm making them by calling a thing of being on this platform and end Eugene
to me. He said whatever you have to understand when you do what you do, which is confront the supremacy on its face, and you don't let it slide, you are holding up a mirror to some of us. The in our everyday lives turn
other way and let it slide for the sake of status, quo maintenance for the sake of white comfort, for the sake of key
Hi you starting up like can't right right right now, is going to be it so when, when they have to look at you the opposite of what they do,
every day in their daily lives, it ruffles their spirit, eat something
more than they can handle, and so there was a good, a good take, because it really really lets me not take it.
This is not a visceral reaction to me. I am now making you uncomfortable. Actually you
are seeing a reflection of which you don't do nest was making you uncomfortable
girl ass it everybody needs to do it right test will be an honest. We have these conversations and everybody built like you test, and I know it was not built like me day of the shore everybody's not built like
mega it'll, be, does not have a mandate for an effort to shame those danish right to let the things slide or do
maintaining the status quo, for whatever reasons Unita to write it
no shame us that's right
leaving the way we need to spiritually move this right. That's right! Because there's something for everybody to do. I believe that it there's something
everybody to do, but I just wanna so interesting. You know the four five people there a sand, something you must give an example of poor people in Rome. The sand,
you're, so he'll been on making me shut up, you know, but even though you got a thousand people with you, what is
about me that you just feel you must shut down and you're right ebony and hold the mere up to what people are doing and should be told. This is not easy. This vessel is work of having to constantly have urged. I was watching,
view Mickey data early and you says, is gaining categorically. You said I have the pull through forecast
People always say the same thing, because every single report car says Greystone talks too much greater student case. I'm talking, I mean literally every single
here- and let me guess they don't matter who they sit you next to could they used to move my ass? To will talk to her too. I don't care
your call. Will you have in your spirit I'm telling
Have you no? We talked about some traumas
I'll bet you have had in that area and you really struggle with. Am I m a walking in an inn?
order? What God wants me to do? Am I making sure, because that's the only thing cuz? If I listen to other folks around me, I would never say anything so many times have to take a backseat. I have to
Let us not have leverage in and have to wonder about the consequences. When I call the consequences of consciousness, that comes with
So when you're Doin S showing your being so
true yourself and you haven't as well. Yeah, I'm sure you ve had your sell em up it,
what am I going. You know there's a constant struggle. Is this going to affect?
my business relationship of my personal relationships. How am I gonna move?
think people understand the the weight of that of having to make the decision, because most
just don't make the decision. Hey, I'm just going to say anything. I want to set my job. I wonder what everybody but the weight of that. I think there is a misconception.
Thinking that this is something we want to do. How did you get called
do. This. Work on real house was in the yard because, as very different than is actually the same facts actually be quite honest. What is
One of the few people bed know how parallel it is like it. I say in I'm not ever joking when I say again that people think I'm trying to be Q, I'm not the training ground of being in a space like Fox NEWS network was the profits preparation.
for the work I'm doing on roaming father,
does that have to tell you and if you don't understand what I said, watch both platforms, the you'll see arm. So it's heavy work.
but you said it important worrying. That is called, I believe in calling some people call to pulpits. Some people are called the classrooms at this juncture. In my life I am some people call to public office and leadership at this.
In my life, I'm very clear, because I believe him in prayer and and meditation. I am clear that God is called me to do this work on this platform at this part
the killer time. I dont know how long that calling will be relevant right,
As part of, why am I answered? When are other kind of income
which is the key
that negotiation. I have with myself both when we were taping and even
watching the episodes back and even as I prepare for the reunion taping, which will be in many weeks what
too much. Where am I doing too much
Why am I also second guessing some of these?
they could have decision making that you see- and you see I mean- and I know you could you catch everything to like. I do so. You see the Malcolm X Y short in the boxing.
you see the blacklist,
matter mask. You see the exaggerated five in central park. I carry those brothers with me
tension. You see our speeches,
As in the recent episodes we had a
LE wean Paget Party became an eye

Nineteen. Seventy on the dot
when the way and said that that was the theme of the party. My first thought: could you not come from Padgett ass? I could I get my black ass even be competing in the same passion with you in the nineties. Any did, of course, that's a thought. Mike

I love what you said. The young. You say the truth is that the consequent consequences of cartoons s so when you're you're carrying bat
it's fun for me to show up in that love.
Of honouring my ancestry and black excellent, so dont get it twisty, always
point in this. Sometimes the work is the heavy that you speak about sometimes is
in reiterating by curious trauma, and sometimes it is just fine like when I got there
put on it for a week and put on
jumpsuit and recite. The words on the spoken word I did is actually a quote from Angela Davis, and that was fun for me now get that that might not be fun for everybody MA yet
today was matters here. They was uncomfortable. You saw him looking around, but it was fun for me. So the
It is just something I want to make clear that bit. Every negotiation is not me being a martyr to this work. Some of this, for me, is quite.
