Can I be honest?
I never thought that y'all were male bashers.
But I did think that based on what you've lived through in your life, you told your truth. And the truth is, a lot of people don't want to hear your truth if it doesn't fit what they want it to be. So I can understand why you got that label. Not saying that it was fair, but I mean, I get the same label too. If I tell my truth about life,
Whoever is on the opposite side of that truth is going to feel like I'm bashing them. You know, and I got to receive, yeah, I'm misogynistic.
Are they? Are they? I'm going to challenge you on this. We talk about black Twitter.
Or Spanish Twitter.
Don't even bring up grits. Because if you talk about grits on black Twitter, whether it's sugar or salt, it's a problem. But what I will say, this is, you don't know the beefs that go on in the other Twitters because we don't be on it. White people be beefing. Bro, I've seen white people and white men and white women going at it over Taylor Swift.
Because white women been saying Taylor Swift is their savior. She's their Beyonce, right? So white women is up here. I'm independent. And I seen white men going at them. There was a post on white Twitter today. It's funny I'm calling it white Twitter.
That Fox News posted that Taylor Swift is a hypocrite because she always talks about climate change. But she flew a private jet to get to the game, and a private jet has more emissions than any vehicle.
So I'm watching these white people go back and forth, and I'll say, you know what's funny? If this was a black news site and this was Beyonce, we would be saying that black people are our own worst enemy. White people do the same thing to their stars too and their people. We got to stop giving them a pass like they don't.
You have a good point. And this is what I will have to say. We as a black community expect everybody to just understand our plight and care about our plight.
But if the plight don't address you, why would you care? Why would a white, why would a Karen care about a Drake and a Lexi?
You see what I'm saying?
And if we being fair about not representing, 78% of black men voted for Kamala. 99, no, 91% of black women voted for Kamala. not that many white people voted for Trump. Like, it wasn't in the 90s and the 70s.
There were less white people who voted for Trump, which means there were less white people who were in agreement with his policies and his politics, which means white people don't always rock with white people. The bottom line is that black people are only 15% of the population. If we were 50% of the population, then Kamala would be the president. But the truth is, is that...
We're still the minority. And we would need our Latino and Latina sisters and brothers and our Asian sisters and brothers. Yes. I mean, a lot of those groups failed us. But that brings me back to my point. We should not ever be worried about any of those groups. This is the building we got in here.
It's never been that.
I mean, it's always been a divide. Do you know why they mad? Do you know why they mad? It's easier to be accepted. when you are in alignment with European values. It's that simple. Like, we can't sit here and make it seem like that ain't what it is. The reason why Puerto Ricans and Dominicans beef is because Puerto Ricans say, well, we're Americans. You're not American.
But then when you look at Puerto Rican culture, they tend to assimilate to European ideals. Whereas Dominicans, like you say, look like Haitians. They share the same island.
You see, they just speak Spanish, but they was like, I'm not black. I'm Dominican. If you understand... I know black. Oh, God.
