- 1:29SPEAKER_01: Because there's a there's a TV show called Younger, right?
- 1:32SPEAKER_01: Where in order to find and keep a job, a white woman in her forties pretends to be in her twenties.
- 1:40SPEAKER_01: Because white women age so well.
- 1:56SPEAKER_01: See, I don't I don't understand how the star of that show is not a black woman.
- 2:03SPEAKER_01: Aging well is what we do.
- 2:13SPEAKER_01: Come on, Angela Bassett is two hundred and nine.
- 2:22SPEAKER_01: I'm eighty-seven.
- 2:29SPEAKER_01: Actually, you know what?
- 2:30SPEAKER_01: I was I was taught uh that it's impolite to ask a woman her age.
- 2:35SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 2:35SPEAKER_01: But it happens.
- 2:37SPEAKER_01: So now uh whenever a man asks me how old I am, uh I ask him if he's good in bed.
- 2:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah, see, that way we both know we're about to lie.
- 2:55SPEAKER_01: You know what?
- 2:55SPEAKER_01: How about how about this?
- 2:57SPEAKER_01: How about because it really tells you nothing substantive about who I am regarding age, I just say I'm a seasoned woman.
- 3:12SPEAKER_01: Which basically means I'm delicious.
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: And I'm probably gonna raise your blood pressure.
- 3:27SPEAKER_01: Real talk though, real talk, I don't I don't like sharing my age because I feel like it gives people another way to discriminate against me.
- 3:37SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 3:37SPEAKER_01: Like I got the hang of racism and sexism, I got that.
- 3:41SPEAKER_01: Now you throw in ageism, now I'm Trinity in the Matrix.
- 3:48SPEAKER_01: And I just took the red pill, right?
- 3:52SPEAKER_01: I mean, one of my biggest fears is that I will be brutally murdered.
- 3:56SPEAKER_01: It will make the news, and they will say my age.
- 4:02SPEAKER_01: Lee and Lord 87.
- 4:06SPEAKER_01: So it's not bad enough that I'm dead, but now the whole world knows that I am fourscore and seven.
- 4:14SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Anderson Cooper.
- 4:21SPEAKER_01: That's a lot of self-esteem, right?
- 4:24SPEAKER_01: To think that my murder will make CNN prime time.
- 4:30SPEAKER_01: Shout out to my vision board.
- 4:38SPEAKER_01: I gotta tell y'all, according to my vision board, tomorrow me is amazing.
- 4:44SPEAKER_01: All right, she's gonna get up early, she's gonna eat right, she's gonna exercise, and be married to Jason Mamoa.
- 4:58SPEAKER_01: And you know what, if if if anyone in here doesn't know who Jason Mamoa is, let me fill that void in your life.
- 5:08SPEAKER_01: Jason Mamoa is the actor who played Aquaman.
- 5:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yes, even the men are moist now.
- 5:21SPEAKER_01: Now you know what I I I saw the movie and I was a little confused because somebody told me that Aquaman had a plot.
- 5:39SPEAKER_01: I don't remember that.
- 5:44SPEAKER_01: I remember Jason Mamoa came on screen.
- 5:49SPEAKER_01: Two hours and twenty-two minutes later, I knew how to swim.
- 6:00SPEAKER_01: Now I uh I really wasn't into the whole superhero thing uh until I saw Black Panther.
- 6:11SPEAKER_01: Y'all, I saw Black Panther opening weekend.
- 6:16SPEAKER_01: Right, and I had not seen that many happy black people in one place since Election Day 2008.
- 6:35SPEAKER_01: The line, the line to get into the theater was so long.
- 6:39SPEAKER_01: I got excited.
- 6:40SPEAKER_01: I was like, are we voting?
- 6:48SPEAKER_01: One of my uh one of my favorite lines from Black Panther is uh be silent, colonizer.
- 6:58SPEAKER_01: That's how I'd be getting through these zoom meetings.
- 7:09SPEAKER_01: And and that's how you teach critical race theory.
- 7:18SPEAKER_01: But my um my favorite superhero movie is Harriet.
- 7:23SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 7:24SPEAKER_01: The movie about Harriet Tuppin.
- 7:27SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 7:29SPEAKER_01: And I'll tell you the part of the film that that really moved me is when she escapes, she's free.
- 7:37SPEAKER_01: She goes back home one year later to rescue her husband and finds that he is already married to another woman.
- 7:46SPEAKER_01: Now, to her credit, she took it well.
- 7:50SPEAKER_01: I did not.
- 7:56SPEAKER_01: Because I was like, if that could happen to Harriet Tubman, that could happen to me.
- 8:01SPEAKER_01: I leave, I come back, he's married.
- 8:04SPEAKER_01: Talk about baby, I didn't know where you went.
- 8:06SPEAKER_01: I didn't know how long you'd be gone.
- 8:09SPEAKER_01: Motherfucker, I went to work.
- 8:21SPEAKER_01: I left this morning.
- 8:29SPEAKER_01: I have to tell you guys, I was incredibly thrilled and honored to be invited to do this show.
- 8:43SPEAKER_01: Because women, we are we are fifty-two percent of the population.
- 8:49SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 8:50SPEAKER_01: But we only make 85 cents on the dollar.
- 8:54SPEAKER_01: That's why I don't feel bad about shoplifting.
- 9:03SPEAKER_01: Now, black women, we only make 65 cents on the dollar.
- 9:08SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
- 9:09SPEAKER_01: So that means if I told a joke that you didn't like, that's because I only wrote 65% of it.
- 9:19SPEAKER_01: No, I know 65%, that does that doesn't sound too bad, right?
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: But in in fairy tale terms, uh, that's Snow White and the four and a half dwarves.
- 9:31SPEAKER_01: That is insufficient.
- 9:34SPEAKER_01: I need a full set of dwarves.
- 9:37SPEAKER_01: Yes, one for each appendage.
- 9:40SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 9:40SPEAKER_01: I grumpy happy, dopey doc, sleepy, sneezy.
- 9:46SPEAKER_01: Bashful.
- 9:55SPEAKER_01: Stop crying, bashful, you know what it is.
- 10:02SPEAKER_01: But I wanna I wanna ask y'all a question before I go.
- 10:06SPEAKER_01: Um, by round of applause, round of applause, how many of you here would agree that time is money?
- 10:12SPEAKER_01: Applaud if you believe time is money.
- 10:19SPEAKER_01: So then I have a proposal.
- 10:23SPEAKER_01: If they're not going to pay me all my money on the dollar, then I have to take back my time.
- 10:31SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 10:32SPEAKER_01: So that 12-hour shift is now eight.
- 10:34SPEAKER_01: Nine to five is nine to two, and my weekend starts on Wednesday.
- 10:47SPEAKER_01: All those in favor say aye.
- 10:50SPEAKER_01: The ayes have it, the motion carries, and the senator from Wakanda reclaims her time.
- 10:55SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
