Y'all, it is Thursday. We are one day away from the weekend.
0:49
Baby, I cannot wait when I tell y'all, I'm so tired,
0:54
like my body hurt, like I'm ready to lay down and relax like today.
0:58
I promise I was over here fighting sleep like a two year old child.
1:03
But I guess me because I was up early being petty. But oh
1:07
well, who knows. But anyway, but welcome back to another episode of
1:11
Black Girl Interrupted. You already know what your girl ash u and this conversation
1:17
tonight, bab bag who this this? This has been on the forefront since
1:26
fourth did July. Tonight we're talking about Jill Scott in the national anthem fay
1:32
bad. I just I want to know what are your thoughts? How do
1:36
y'all feel about it? But say that before until we jump into the conversation.
1:41
But y'all already know what I do. At the start of every show,
1:45
y'all know I allready have to do my mental health check in, So
1:51
everybody that's tuned in, dropped in the comments, let me know how you're
1:55
feeling today? Again, Today's Thursday. We are one day away from the
1:59
weekend. What are y'all doing this weekend? What are your plans up?
2:04
Are you laxing? Are you gonna hang out with family? Like? What
2:07
are you gonna do? Um? And then how are you feeling to say?
2:09
Mentally? You know what, maybe just not even to a day,
2:14
but have you been feeling all week? Like I said, today is Thursday,
2:16
we finally made it to the weekend. How you feeling mentally? How
2:21
you feeling? Dropping the comments and let your girl know. Um. But
2:24
before we even jump into to nice conversation, I haven't done this in a
2:28
couple of episodes, but I want to go ahead and I want to play
2:31
something encouraging and uplifting to someone. Again, you never know what a person
2:35
is going through, You never know what storm a person is standing in the
2:38
midst of, so you always want to encourage somebody. So let me go
2:43
ahead and play my video that I always play and encourage and uplift someone.
2:46
And if we're gonna jump into the nice conversation, a big bag. The
2:53
backlash to this has has just let me with a video and then we're just
3:00
gonna jump into the conversation. I want to encourage somebody out there who's thinking
3:08
about quitting and giving up, somebody who has been praying for years for things
3:16
to turn around. You're thinking about quitting, You're thinking about giving up.
3:23
You're folding, you are caving in. This is for you. You're in
3:30
this storm and you're down on your knees and your cold, and you're weak,
3:36
and you feel like this is the end. You have a choice to
3:40
either give up or keep going, give up or get up. Don't give
3:47
up, you don't give up, stay in it, stay focused. When
3:58
you fail, try again and again and again. You just take one step
4:05
at a time. It's hard, but it's worth fighting. Is worth believing,
4:14
it's worth mustering yourself up, standing up inside yourself. It's worth fighting
4:18
relentlessly, never giving up. I love the sun, but things don't grow
4:25
because of the sun. You have to have some rain, and you've got
4:30
to stop looking at rain in your life. It's something bad. My greatest
4:33
moments didn't come from my greatest moments. My greatest moments came from my greatest
4:40
defeats, because it was doing my defeat that I had to find a way
4:44
to get back up. You look for one minute that you broke from me,
4:50
You got me twisted. I am not phenomenally skilled, but phenomenally will
4:57
I will not give up. I will look a run there. I will
5:00
not quit. Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop running toward your dreams.
5:10
Stay in courage, Stay in courage, and keep your head up,
5:15
stick your chest out, continue to walk with clod and know if it was
5:19
easy, everybody would do it. It's not gonna be easy, but we
5:24
have what it takes. They're rough time, They're gonna come, but they
5:27
have not come to stay. They have come to pass. Don't say I'm
5:31
having a bad day. Say I'm having a character building day. Don't look
5:35
at night at darkness, Look at night as a new beginning. All right,
6:06
So y'all already know, like I said, y'all know, I always
6:09
have to play something encouraging, something empowering, something uplifting, because like again,
6:14
you never know what a person is going through, You never know what
6:16
storm a person is standing in the midstuff. So I always want to always
6:21
encourage uplift, empower, and inspire someone to be the best that you can
6:27
be. This is why I do these mental health check ins, because if
6:30
we don't check on us, who will. As a person, like I
6:33
said, y'all know my story as a person that has dealt with depression,
6:38
a person that is dealt with anxiety, I feel like it's my God given
6:45
spirit or my will to check on you to make sure you're good mentally,
6:49
and not just mentally, but spiritually emotionally. That's what I'm supposed to do.
6:56
I'm supposed to encourage you. Even on my dark days, I'm still
7:00
to get up and push you to be the best you. And regardless of
7:03
how many people show up for you, you keep showing up for you,
7:06
and that's all that matters. You leave it to God, and God is
7:10
gonna handle the rest. Soul, let me not. Let me not dig
7:15
down to deep in a rabbit hole. Y'all know, I get emotional when
7:17
I get to talking about God and being blessed and being encouraged and being able
7:24
to maneuver and waddle through these storms that we encounter. But I wanna jump
7:30
into tonight's conversations, Soul. I've been strolling and scrolling through social media and
7:40
everybody's been in an uproar about this, Jail Scott allegedly disrespecting the national anthem.
7:55
So the essence best to New Orleans. Jail Scott was one of the
7:59
formers at the show, and Jill Scott, of course she's saying all you
8:07
know, a lot of her greatest hits, but she came back and saying
8:13
the national anthem her way. Jill Scott has been getting a lot, a
8:20
lot, a lot of backlash on this. A lot of people are not
8:24
happy about this. But if you really sit down, Andre you listen to
8:28
the words, she was actually speaking the truth. So are you more mad
8:39
at the message or the messenger? Because if you go back and you listen
8:43
to the original national Anthem and you do your research on who it was written
8:52
by, he was a slave owner, and I'm talking about Francis Scott Key.
8:58
He was a slave owner, and when he passed away, the slaves
9:03
went to his children. So again, are you more upset at the message
9:09
or the messenger? Because I'm gonna be honest with you. I listened to
9:13
it multiple times and I guess it really truly hit home being a person of
9:22
color, because are we really truly free in America? Are we really truly
9:33
on land that white people own? Last time I checked, no, because
9:41
y'all stolen from the Native Americans. But a lot of y'all not ready for
9:43
that conversation. But that's okay. I'm here to wake it up though.
9:50
Y'all know me. Y'all know I come to shake the table big big So
9:56
Tyler says, I'm feeling pretty good since, by the way, you're looking
9:58
beautiful this evening. You know what, Sis, I want to say,
10:01
thank you. I love you. I appreciate you for that comment, because
10:07
there are some things that I don't feel beautiful. But I still get up
10:11
and I show up for me. I still get up and I still show
10:13
up for me, regardless off who shows up for me. I'm always show
10:18
up for Ashley regardless. That's one thing my mom and my daddy instilled to
10:22
me was to always show up for me, regardless of how many regardless if
10:24
it's one person or a hundred people, you just stay consistent and you show
10:28
up for yourself. So that's why I do my episodes weekend and week out,
10:33
so because I know somebody's watching. But AnyWho. But for those that
10:39
have not seen the video, I'm gonna go ahead and play the clip because
10:48
I want to know your thoughts on this. How do you feel Do you
10:52
feel like Jill Scott took her too far? Do you feel like it was
10:54
a disrespect to the national anthem? Or do you feel like she was damn't
11:01
let me roll the video and then we're gonna jump back into the conversation.
11:05
I loved it. Here we go, all save can by the streams that
11:37
this good? Doesn't sid all you co shine us blood filled? This lake
12:09
where sweet? But your lass blas I your love? Oh say does this
12:43
true? Old? This is mocks the list by m hmm. I literally
13:41
got chills. I literally, y'all see the hair standing up on my arms.
13:45
I literally have chills listening to her seeing day because what she said at
13:52
the beginning brings so true, because every time you turn around, our blood
14:01
is left splattered in the streets. And when she said this land was built
14:22
m hmm, I just I have to kind of take it in for a
14:26
moment because because it was very powerful. Let me let me, let me,
14:41
let me just take about five seconds to just really process it, because
14:46
again, how many of our black men, black women, black boys,
14:58
and black girls are left slaughter than the streets. Police brutality is at an
15:07
all time high right now. But y'all are mad, y'all are outraged.
15:16
Y'all are in an uproar because Jill Scott stated that the flag is not for
15:24
blacks. Are we really truly free? I'm gonna ask that question again,
15:31
Are we really truly free? Here? People keep saying, oh, go
15:35
back to where you came from. Hell, y'all took us, y'all kidnapped
15:39
us. You shouldn't left us where we were if you didn't want us here.
15:45
But that's only the white people that say that. But y'all are living
15:50
on stolen land. But y'all really not ready to have those types of conversations.
15:58
Y'all would rather say, Oh, she's promoting hate, she's promoting racism.
16:03
No, she's not. Why are you upset at her freedom of speech?
16:11
Y'all do it? You had a president that told you it was cool
16:17
to be racist, But you're mad at Jill Scott about a song. Y'all
16:27
aren't mad at the people that stormed the capitol, but you're mad at Jill
16:33
Scott for a song in which she was speaking the truth in which she was
16:38
speaking facts. African American men and women are killed at higher rates than whites,
16:51
Asians and Latinos. You can argue with me all day, but you
16:56
can't argue with numbers and the statistics and the facts. We're passed over.
17:07
We're looked at as we're not equal. Y'all feel like black people the only
17:15
thing we can amount to being as rappers, actors and athletes. But you
17:23
won't give us credit on the black inventors that you white people have tried to
17:30
compenscate from us. But you're madag You'll Scott about a song. Why aren't
17:41
y'all outraged about the white people that walk around with black face and mock black
17:48
men and black women. Y're not upset about that, but y'all upset about
17:52
a song. If we're really gonna have a conversation, let's wait. Let's
18:00
let's wake it up today, because y'all know I don't mind shaking the table.
18:04
Y'all know I don't mind pushing the envelupe. But I love what Jill
18:11
Scott said. What she said was absolutely true. Michael says, but hold
18:26
on, this was at the essence Fest who was present to be upset.
18:32
It's the after mad. A lot of people say, Oh, that wasn't
18:37
the time of the place for her to do that. Why not? The
18:41
essence Fest is to celebrate the black culture, so she was in the right
18:47
space to do that, just like they were mad at Colin Kaepernick for kneeling,
18:55
and they missed the whole agenda. Oh that's right, because I forget.
19:00
They have to what's the word I'm trying to see. They have to
19:07
twist things to fit their narrative when really that wasn't even the reason for kneeling.
19:14
Kylin Kaepernick took a knee in commemorant of police brutality and how we're tired
19:25
of it, and how we're tired of not seeing our little black boys and
19:30
black girls and black men and black women go home from traffic stops. That's
19:34
why he kneeled. But a lot of the Tapioca Taliban, y'all have to
19:38
twist it to fit your narrative. But then you say, oh, all
19:44
lives matter, how in black lives don't. So that's the issue. But
19:53
y'all aren't outraged about the people that and even in recent time, these kids
20:02
that are dressing up in black face, But y'all not mad about that?
20:07
Did y'all get upset about the football player? The white football player? I
20:11
believe he was at flaw. I forgot what college he was at, but
20:14
was nigga this and nigga that, and then was offered two scholarships to two
20:19
HBCUs. I didn't see anyone outreached about that. I didn't see not one
20:26
white person be upset about that. But if you knew the history behind the
20:36
national anthem, maybe you think different. You keep saying or if we don't
20:42
like it in America, we should just leave, Why don't y'all just leave?
20:48
We built this, We built this, and you know what y'all did.
20:53
Y'all came in, y'all took it. Y'all stole it away from y'all,
20:56
stole it from us, You tore it down. You didn't want us
20:59
to have anything. So yeah, absolutely, I'm here to shake the table
21:04
today. Absolutely, I'm pro black and this and will continue to stand on
21:15
the forefront for the people that look like me. Not everybody's gonna like it,
21:19
but I don't care. I do this for the ones that look like
21:26
me, because see you don't know my struggle. I look at some of
21:33
these Karens out here that have meltdowns and oh my god. And then you
21:40
question us on what we're doing, as if we can't live in nice neighborhoods.
21:48
That's not your business. Don't come and ask me not one damn question
21:52
about anything. So no, America does not male at the black man or
22:02
the black woman. Know you don't. You disrespect us, you belittle less,
22:11
you drag us, You tell us where nothing will never be anything.
22:22
A lot of times we're passed over for jobs even though we're qualified for the
22:26
positions. You got on us about our hair. But you're mad about a
22:37
song. Y'all are in the uproar, y'all are outraged, But what about
22:47
the president that was promoting racism? Y'all want to have that conversation. Are
22:52
y'all really truly ready to have that conversation because a lot of y'all say y'all
22:56
are, and y'all really not. But again the National Anthem, I think
23:03
Jill Scott did a phenomenal job. She spoke her truths. So how are
23:11
you mad at someone speaking their truths or how they feel? Because the only
23:18
comeback y'all. Half of her is, oh, she if you don't like
23:21
America, just leave, just leave. You would have left us work we
23:25
were, we probably wouldn't be here. So let me show y'all this video.
23:34
So this is just a snip, a snippet, a smidge of some
23:42
of the backlash that Jill Scott has been getting with regards to this video.
23:48
Check this out and there I'm ready to jump back into the conversation. Anthem
23:53
outrage. Multi millionaire singer and actress Jill Scott performs a woke winded of what
24:00
she claims was the national anthem. Let's take a listen. This is what
24:10
the list, but the the I don't know if you caught that. At
24:37
the end there she said home of the Slave. There were also some other
24:41
nasty lyrics in her rendition. Joining us now for more reaction to musician who
24:45
actually loves America, Conservative rapper for Giatto blow, Thank you for being with
24:51
us. What was your reaction to hearing that rendition of the national anthem?
24:56
I was reading that, Jill Scott. She's worth over like twelve million dollars,
25:00
so she's clearly not in slave. She's clearly prospered in this country.
25:04
Well, it was disgusting, first of all, but look, she is
25:07
worth her net worth, there's twelve million dollars, so it seems like America
25:11
did her pretty good, gave a pretty good shot. She needs to stop
25:15
selling, you know, victimhood and being oppressed. You know, so many
25:18
people that live in this country. I asked myself why they could plain so
25:22
much. They should just get up and leave it. They don't like it,
25:23
go back to whatever country they would want to go to. You know,
25:26
certain countries like Africa, say they go to Africa, say if they
25:30
were a lesbian woman, it's against the law to be gay over there.
25:34
They're getting some way with so much stuff over here they don't even know it.
25:40
I feel like she's just promoting racism, you know, especially to the
25:42
next generation. She's keeping them in that box, and it's a box that
25:45
our country doesn't need, especially the time we're living in right now. It's
25:49
astounding to me that people actually cheered, that people should have booed her.
25:53
I mean, it is absolutely ridiculous and very divisive. She's saying at essence
25:59
fast it was a pretominant, predominantly African American audience, and why why that
26:04
message instead of teaching a message of hope for young people and saying you can
26:08
be anything you want to be. And this is the home of the free,
26:11
you know, lands of the brave, you know, I mean,
26:14
why, why? Why be so nasty? It makes no sense right,
26:18
this is the only country that we're allowed to pick what we want to do.
26:21
You know, she had a dream, she was able to chase it.
26:23
She chased her dream and she won. She got rich off it.
26:26
You know, if this is such a bad place to have a shot at
26:30
it, give all your money away to people who were oppressed. You're not
26:33
oppressed. This is just something for attention. You're just trying to get attention.
26:37
The thing I don't like, as you know, I see a lot
26:38
of artists and celebrities these days, and I'm not racist at all. I
26:42
don't condone any racism for anybody, but it seems like a lot of African
26:48
American celebrities and athletes can use this card and get away with it. If
26:52
a white celebrity or you know, artists or somebody would have said that,
26:55
they would have been banned, the would have been canceled. Yeah, maybe
26:56
why didn't go to show? Again? Absolutely, why doesn't you give away
27:02
one of her millions for a school or for something else, a community center
27:07
for an inner city area. So for Giotta. Last time you were here,
27:11
your song Boycott Target was a number one hit on iTunes. They were
27:15
trying to shadow ban it, but still it became number one. Since then,
27:17
you've released another song called Sweetheart Deal. It's of course about the Biden
27:22
crime family. Let's tick a listen, my daddy ain't a place fast,
27:29
ain't gole sat me on'm my wrist. This is pure corruption of political witch
27:33
Is it cover up Trump? Mornas all? They got a bull? I
27:36
don't know what you'll do again, Linny sleeping Joe sell at our car on
27:40
the South from this Crown Bill in nineteen ninety four looking up Americans for smoking.
27:45
Do but smoke? Wow? Your son smokes crack and probably snorts anyway,
27:52
what you don't mince words? Tell us about this song. We got
27:55
about a minute left. Well the end of the day. I'm using my
27:57
platform to really talk about was going on in the world and not sugarcoating.
28:02
His next generation has to understand they got to get out here. We're living
28:04
in crazy times right now. But I mean they got cocaine in the White
28:07
House right now, you know, and everybody complains about Donald Trump if Don
28:12
Junior or one of Trump's kids did anything like Hunter Biden's getting away with.
28:18
He's doing one hundred and seventy two miles an hour in his car with crack
28:21
pipes. I mean, it's crazy what's going on. And I think this
28:23
is all just to cover up what's ruy going on with Trump. They're just
28:26
trying to keep him from running. They want him at that White House.
28:29
They know he's coming back to take over the show again. You know,
28:33
we need Trump back. That's all I can say. Really, have you
28:34
ever met him before? Yes, Donald Trump? Yes, yes, so
28:37
he's Yeah, he's a good he's a good guy. He was what I'm
28:41
doing. He understands that I'm talking to a different generation, which Jill Scott
28:45
was talking to us. She's teaching them the wrong way. She needs to
28:48
do better, do better with her time. I think she could do a
28:51
lot better with that platform she has. Thank you so much for Giatto blow,
28:55
Thank you so much. Yeah, you know what, I don't even
29:00
have to take a break on this because let me say this, how do
29:03
you know what Jill Scott is not doing in the inner center community. What
29:07
are y'all doing to help the inner city community? Okay, I guess no
29:11
one's ready to have that conversation, but anywhere I'm gonna wake it up.
29:15
First Off, you keep saying African Americans pulled that race card. No,
29:19
we don't. Have you ever stopped to look at how much we put back
29:26
into our communities, but y'all failed to acknowledge that. Then you keep saying
29:32
old Donald Trump, Donald Trump, he promoted racism and still is. Again,
29:44
y'all are outraged about a song, but you're not mad that they stormed
29:48
the capitol and took a ship in the Rotando. But y'all not mad about
29:53
that. Y'all aren't in y'all these these publican white people. Y'all keep saying
30:03
what we're not doing, what we're not doing? What are y'all doing?
30:04
What are y'all doing to help us? Other than pointing and saying, Oh,
30:12
she's wrong for this, Oh she's disrespecting America. Y'all disrespect us?
30:19
Now what y'all disrespect us on a daily basis? Now? What? Now?
30:27
What? So again, are y'all mad at the message or the messenger?
30:34
Because if I can recall I remember white people back in the nineteen forties
30:41
and the nineteen fifties, you used to dress up in black face. Even
30:45
in current time twenty twenty three, wasn't it just a few months ago some
30:52
kids dressed up in black face. Oh but Jill Scott is promoting racism?
31:00
Oh really, y'all try to say that about Colin Kaepernick, But again you're
31:06
twisted it to fit your narrative when you overlook what the whole point of kneeling
31:11
was about. For police brutality was what it was for. You say,
31:22
this is what we do. We always pulled the race card. But your
31:25
white people do it when you act like Karen's and kens, that's what you
31:30
do, your white tears. Yes, y'all do that, but you're not
31:40
ready to have that conversation. And then for you to sit and say,
31:45
oh, that's disgusting. No, I think the guy that you had sitting
31:48
on the panel next to you and you were disgusting. That's the way I
31:56
sy you missed the whole point, because y'all do know America was not designed
32:05
to accommodate the people that look like me. This judicial system was not designed
32:12
to custom I'm so sorry. Was not designed for people that look like me.
32:21
Look at the Look at the what's the white lady that that was in
32:24
prison for fifty three years with Charles Manson? She's free and they slaughtered how
32:30
many people? Okay, Okay, y'all really want to go there? Because
32:39
again, y'all know, I don't mind pushing the envelope. I don't mind
32:45
shaking the table. I don't mind having these uncomfortable conversations. But what I'm
32:51
not gonna allow you to do is to disrespect a person's freedom of speech,
32:59
just like you may that dumbass song talking about, oh, we need to
33:01
get Donald Trump back in the White House and oh if Donald Junior ever?
33:07
Are you serious? Really? And the woman that sat next to you to
33:19
say, oh, maybe she should take her millions and put it back into
33:22
the inner city community, build a school. How do you know she hasn't
33:25
done that? Have you really checked Jill Scott's resume? M Because what happens
33:32
when you make assumptions? What are those first three letters? Okay, you
33:40
want to talk about what we should be doing in the community, Lebron James,
33:44
build a school? Okay, Nelly, I believe for what did they
33:51
say the last fifteen or twenty years has been sending two black children to college
33:55
every year. So don't say, well, we're not out here in the
34:00
community. If you're not out here beating the street with us. See,
34:06
your only show up when it fits your agenda or if it looks good to
34:09
your narrative. Let me reverse that. You only show up when it fits
34:15
your narrative and it looks good on your agenda, then you want to come
34:19
on down hend hang with us black folks. But you forget we built this.
34:28
You stole this land from the Native Americans, and we built it,
34:31
and then you try to come in and claim everything that we built. Give
34:37
accolades to all the black avendor inventors. If it wasn't for a person that
34:42
looked like me, you wouldn't even have a cell phone. If it wasn't
34:44
for a person like me, you wouldn't have a microwave. It wasn't for
34:46
a person like me, you wouldn't have a stop like Okay, but you
34:52
want to always take credit for what we do. But again, you're mad
34:58
about a soul, You're upset, you're outraged, and you say, oh,
35:06
she's disrespecting America. She's disrespecting our national anthem. Oh but you forget
35:15
again, let me reiterate. Francis Scotty was a slave owner. Oh okay,
35:23
and then when he died, like I told you in the beginning,
35:27
the slaves passed on to his children. But you're saying white people were coming
35:32
in and you were sleeping with us. M hm, you were. Now
35:42
it's you want to be us, But again you're mad over us? Song
35:49
you big mad or you're little mad? Who's your one? Because he just
35:52
last just what a couple of months ago, y'all was mad of Kanye West
36:00
and what happened? They came groveling back because our black dollars pay your bills.
36:07
Don't forget that, our black dollars come and support your businesses. And
36:15
the saddest part about all of that is we beg to come and sit in
36:20
your establishments, and we know you don't want us there. That's the sad
36:25
part because one thing about me, I'm not begging to go in anyone's establishment
36:34
where I'm not celebrating. For some of y'all not ready to have that conversation
36:39
though a lot of y'all not ready for that, Agarelle, how are you
36:46
doing good to see you. Congratulations on the house, Congratulations a beautiful,
36:51
beautiful home. Glad to see you. Hope you're doing well. Absolutely,
36:58
But we built this. But y'all, I mad. But then you say
37:09
we're disrespectful. How show me where she disrespected because she said this was the
37:23
home of the slave. When I just as I sit here, y'all and
37:42
I'm processing all of this, and I'm having this conversation with y'all, I
37:46
really think it's funny how upset white America is behind one little song and you
37:57
keep saying, oh, she's promoting race to the new generation. This new
38:02
generation is lost anyway, So how was she promoting racism? And all they
38:10
have to do is cut on the TV and watch the news and look at
38:16
the alarming number of black men and black women that are killed by the police.
38:23
Okay, because he last week, No, I'm sorry toolsday when I
38:30
did my episode on police brutality, What did I tell y'all? Nine to
38:32
eight point one percent of police officers are never punished, never punished, and
38:46
every year the numbers increase. Five hundred and forty three black men, women,
38:55
boys, and girls have been killed by the police in twenty twenty three,
39:01
and we're only seven months in and that was as of June first,
39:06
twenty twenty three. So America doesn't smile at us. You smile at us
39:14
when we come spend our money with you, But y'all don't celebrate us.
39:21
Y'all tolerate us ugly truth, but it's a fact. And then we beg
39:31
to sit at the same table. Y'all don't want us say. I'm not
39:35
begging you. I'm gonna go build my own table. That's what I'm gonna
39:39
do. But the saddest part of this whole topic is the way black people
39:52
have drug Jill Scott. All right, Clarence Thomas, you're not gonna get
40:00
picked either, but it's sickning how I've seen black men dragged Jill Scott.
40:20
The amount of disrespect that this beautiful black queen has endured is disgusting to me.
40:34
She used her freedom of speech, and y'all are mad. America always
40:42
wants us to be silent when we get to talking too much. They always
40:46
want us to be quiet. But if you realize this new generation, this
40:54
young generation, they're no longer remaining quiet. They're learning their rights because y'all
41:05
didn't want us to know him. You never wanted us to know our rights.
41:07
You never You always wanted us to believe we had no rights over here.
41:14
You taught us that. You want us to forget our black history and
41:24
learn yours. You want us to act like as if slavery never existed.
41:30
You want us to act like the Tussa massacre never happened. You want us
41:37
to act like Rosewood never happened. You want us to act like the massacre
41:45
in New Orleans never happened. You're trying to whitewash our history, hence the
41:53
critical race theory. Okay, but again, y'all mad about a song?
42:02
Y'all not mad at what the Santis is down there doing in Florida? Okay,
42:07
what y'all mad about a song that she exercised her freedom, her rights
42:14
to freedom of speech. Y'all not mad about the insurrection, And yes,
42:22
I'm gonna keep bringing that up. Y'all weren't upset when those three white men
42:29
killed them out all Bury, y'all weren't outrage You keep saying, Oh,
42:37
they're disrespect we're disrespectful. Let me show you something, let me let me
42:44
refresh your memory for the ones that have Stevie Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles's vision.
42:52
Hey, babe, let me refresh your memory for some of the ones
42:57
that forgot, because I really want to know why people so outread. I
43:06
really want to know. But I found this cute little video, y'all.
43:12
And I'm being sarcastic when I see this. But there's a video, y'all,
43:19
and you could YouTube, you could google it where Judy Garland isn't black
43:22
facing the black national anthem. Oh, here we're going. Then we're gonna
43:29
get back into the conversation. Sweet Chany, coming for to carry me home?
43:46
Sweet sweet chan coming for to carry me home. Oh, I come
44:09
from South, from way down South, when the cold emptenis used to vote
44:17
dance, great big elegant pictures showing, and my old Kentucky home is a
44:22
French chateau way down souping nixey, sweet sweet, I think we got something
44:31
there me. Oh, come from South, from the deep deep South,
44:43
when the fields up cotton just start with black and the pappy ings esquire when
44:46
the light while the Alabama many plays bridge all night, way down southing NIXI
44:52
swinging low, sweet Chay, come on, come on, come on and
45:01
carry me home. Oh I come from sound, got this soff in my
45:08
mouth. Uncle Tom's Camp's got a new routine. Lights across the icing the
45:15
Limo zine while Simon Lagree shakes tam boll red way down, stopping Dixie,
45:21
Sweet low sweet chery, sweet sweet cheery. Listen here, you won't let
45:34
me speak. Don't snow swany Ribby is dried up creek. Come on and
45:38
carry me home. Naana la na ho h. Butch I didn't want to
45:53
see that though. I just thought i'd pulled that out, you know,
45:58
my little bag of truth. But we've always been the butt of everyone's jokes.
46:06
We've always been the center of ridicule. But y'all are mad at you'll
46:12
scott about a soul, and we've been disrespected our whole entire lives. So
46:22
again, I'm really not understanding why people are so outraged. Why are y'all
46:27
so mad? Y'all were mad about Colin Kaepernick taking a knee, y'all were
46:36
mad about childish Gambinos video This is America. Y'all said, Oh, he
46:45
was promoting racism. Why, oh, that's right, Because a lot of
46:52
people run from the truth, a lot of people hide and don't want to
46:58
address the truth. But you'd rather skate over it. You'd rather slide it
47:07
under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist. Oh but it does, and
47:15
I'm here to show you that it does. Again, I think the rendition
47:22
of the national anthem that Jill Scott performed in New Orleans for the Essence Festim
47:28
salute to you, queen, thank you for utilizing your platform to shake the
47:40
table. Thank you, miss Jill Scott forgetting the white man's attention because they're
47:52
mad about that. They're pissed off. Oh, go take your money and
48:04
go build a school in the inner city community. How you know she hasn't?
48:07
Again, check Jill Scott to resume, because she does a lot of
48:13
feeling and you keep saying, oh, she's done quite well in America.
48:20
Was that the white dollars are the black dollars that helped her? Who helps
48:30
you that black dollars do? Because see, when we take our black dollars
48:37
away from you, you lose. Kanye is a prime example. Y'all get
48:46
so upset when we start standing up for ourselves and we're learning our rights.
48:52
Why, oh that's right, because that's the way you wanted to keep us
48:58
oppressed. You want you want to keep us down, but at some point
49:07
we're rising. I think it's more you guys are upset because y'all are no
49:17
longer the minority. I think it's more so you just want to have something
49:27
to be mad about, but you aren't paying attention to what's going on in
49:35
America. But you're focused on one little song that was not even written for
49:43
people that look like me and you. If I'm not mistaken, I forgot
49:49
what the stars represent. But I'm not standing for a country that doesn't protect
50:00
me. I'm not standing for a country that disrespects me on a regular who
50:13
belittles me, who makes me feel like I'm nothing, And for anyone to
50:22
sit and say leave, go back to where you came from, you should
50:28
have left us what the hell we were? How about that? So again,
50:35
are you're more mad at the messenger? The messenger? Because I'm really
50:42
lost in regards to why people are so outraged? Do you really actually know
50:46
the history of the national Anthem? Are you? Do? You just ignore
51:00
what the National Anthem really represents. I'm proud of her. I am proud
51:09
of every black man and black woman that has stood on the forefront and has
51:16
pushed the envelope. I'm very proud of you continue doing it because I'm not
51:24
gonna stop. I'm gonna continue to push the envelope. I'm gonna continue to
51:30
have these uncomfortable conversations. I'm gonna continue to be pro black. But just
51:37
because I'm pro black doesn't mean I'm anti white. So let's not get that
51:42
misconstrued. But do understand and recognize I'm always gonna protect who looks like me
51:50
first before I address and help anyone else. And you can't be mad at
51:57
me for that because y'all do it. It's okay for y'all to do it,
52:00
but it's not okay for us to do it. It's not okay for
52:04
us to protect our own. You call us a racist, but when you
52:08
do it, it's acceptable. How does that work? Why am I not
52:17
supposed to protect my own? Why am I not supposed to stand on the
52:21
forefront for the people that look like me first? They understand every day that
52:32
we wake up, we're black. Every day We're not privileged. No matter
52:39
how much money you spend, no matter how many times you tap dance and
52:44
shucking jive, you're still one nigga to them, just another nigga to them.
52:51
That's what you are when you leave, they're calling you a nigga behind
52:58
your back, and you just smiling and kicking all in their face. But
53:06
y'all get so upset, and y'all, y'all are never ready to have these
53:09
conversations because guess what. When we have these types of conversations, White people
53:15
have to face their mean malls and they popoles. But you will always twist
53:22
things to fit your narrative instead of actually sitting down and understanding. We saw
53:36
it with the flag. We saw it with the athletes when they were kneeling.
53:45
They were basically telling you shut up, nigga and throw the ball.
53:50
That's what they were telling you to do. Who do you think makes up
53:53
the NFL? Now we're taken over in baseball, we're taken over in hockey.
54:02
We didn't took over in tennis. And y'all mad and y'all mad about
54:09
a little old song when really, y'all should be upset because of the Supreme
54:17
Court overturned affirmative action. You should be upset because the Supreme Court has taken
54:22
away women's rights. They've overturned roll versus Wade. Those are real issues you
54:29
need to be upset about, not Jill Scott redoing the national anthem. See
54:34
that's what I mean when I say, y'all pick and choose what to be
54:37
upset about. Stuff that don't even need to be You don't even need to
54:39
be mad about. Be mad women that if you get pregnant, if you're
54:49
right, you can't get rid of your baby, If your baby is conceived
54:57
through incests, you can't get rid the baby. They've taken those rights away
55:02
from you. And then when it comes to affirmative action, who do you
55:07
really think that hurts the white people? So those are really big issues that
55:15
you need to be upset about. Be upset about what's going on in your
55:21
community. Be upset about what they're not doing to make and fix America.
55:29
Be upset because they're taking our money and they're spending it in foreign countries instead
55:34
of taking care of this over here. That's what you need to be upset
55:37
about. See y'all upset about. Like I said, you're pick and choose
55:42
what you want to be upset about. That's what y'all get upset about.
55:47
Your pick and choose, Hello America, And I say, America with three
55:59
kids, when we come together and we march peacefully, they arrest us,
56:08
we go to jail. That's what happened. But y'all are mad about a
56:19
song, a song that Jill Scott exercised her rights to freedom of speech,
56:30
and you're mad. You're mad about it. Y'all should be upset that Donald
56:38
Trump is able to run for president again, the biggest biggot in America and
56:47
admitted to it. I mean, Joe Biden ain't no better, you know,
56:54
But y'all mad. I think Jill Scott looked beautiful singing her rendition of
57:06
the National Anthor. I think she looked amazing. Hey, Sussie, she
57:14
said they will understand when it hits home. Absolutely. But again, y'all
57:22
are mad about a song. Y'all a outrage. She's disgusting, she's fat,
57:28
she's this old baby. They have drug Jill Scott through the cold,
57:34
drag your mammy like that, because every black man that has disrespected Jill Scott,
57:39
You've disrespected your mother, you've disrespected your sister, you've disrespected your grandparents,
57:46
you've disrespected your ancestors. But I'm sorry, Sambo, you still got
57:57
to sit at the end of the table. So I don't know why people
58:04
are so outreached. I don't understand. If that's the way she felt,
58:13
that's the way she felt, If this is the way she sees America,
58:17
Why are you mad at the way she sees America? You may not see
58:22
it the way she sees it, but why are you upset about her vision
58:28
and her opinion about how she feels about America? That's the sad part.
58:37
Y'all are mad over the way a person views and feels about America. Do
58:44
you understand what we go through as black men and black women as in America?
58:49
Do you understand y'all keep saying, Oh, it's only one race,
58:54
the human race, and then there's us. Do you understand where we go
59:07
through? Do you understand I will struggle our plight? Do you understand that
59:14
every time my child walks off that door, any one of my children at
59:17
the prayer with my children and my children making home safe to me, I
59:23
have to sit down and have a conversation with my children every time they leave.
59:27
This is what you don't do. If you ever encounter the police,
59:30
please don't make no sudden moves. Take that hoodie off your head. Keep
59:34
your hands with ACN see everything. Those are the conversations I have to have
59:38
with my children. But it didn't work for Philando because still and they still
59:50
killed him. They don't respect us here again, they're trying to. They
59:59
want us to forget our history. But every chance you get, we got
1:00:05
to watch something about the Holocaust, the Holocaust, we got to watch something
1:00:08
about World War two, the Civil War, and they're we're going to get
1:00:19
rid of CRT. They pulled a lot of books off the shof that educated
1:00:29
because you don't want people to know the truth. You don't want people to
1:00:32
know how badly African Americans are treated here, even in present time. Do
1:00:42
you realize how many black boys and black girls and black men and black women
1:00:45
that go missing and we get zero media coverage. Do you understand we are
1:00:59
nothing to y'all. Y'all look at us as were nothing. Y'all don't view
1:01:04
us as your equal, You don't. America does not. Hey, my
1:01:20
baby Antoine says, you're right, never really respect the black people America from
1:01:24
the first second we got here till now. Absolutely, and we are still
1:01:28
disrespected every day. But the first thing they want to say is, well,
1:01:37
y'all are killing each other. That's the way to deflect. It's black
1:01:46
on black crime deflection. The police are the slave masters. They do everything
1:02:00
to keep us in cars. Are read it, But you let a murderer
1:02:05
walk three after fifty three years, but you're still holding this man in jail
1:02:13
for Grandma Weed. America has always disrespected us and still doing the present time.
1:02:25
But I'm so sorry. A lot of y'all can't see that. I
1:02:32
do, so I understand everything that Jill Scott was saying in that song.
1:02:39
I absolutely understood. We built America our blood, sweat and tears, built
1:02:51
them business, them buildings that you work in, our blood sweat and tears.
1:03:00
But you took you took it from us and made it choice. Say,
1:03:14
that's the hurtful part. Y'all don't want us to be Greek. America
1:03:20
does not want black to be greet You make it harder and harder for us
1:03:30
to get anything. But a lot of y'all don't realize it's more white people
1:03:39
that get public assistance than blacks, Asians and Latinos. But y'all not ready
1:03:45
to have that conversation. Some of y'all run from that again because you're afraid
1:03:52
of the truth. Y'all prefer an ugly lie over the truth, a pretty
1:03:59
lie over the truth. Lot of y'all not ready to have that conversation.
1:04:08
A lot of y'all are scared to offend. I don't mind because I'm an
1:04:14
always stand up for what I believe is right. I'm gonna always stand up
1:04:16
for ones that look like me. Again, I'm pro black. Doesn't make
1:04:20
me anti white, So if you say I'm promoting racism, it is what
1:04:29
it is. But I know I'm gonna always always ride to the wheels fall
1:04:39
off of people that look like me. Always. I don't care how you
1:04:47
slice the cake, the pie, how you eat your pizza. I'm gonna
1:04:51
always stand up for people that look like me. I'm always stand in the
1:04:56
midst of the war for the people that look like me because we are absolutely
1:05:01
disrespected. Look at how they're exterminating us. But again, a lot of
1:05:13
y'all aren't ready to have that conversation. So I have a question, though,
1:05:20
is America really the land of the free? And if so, for
1:05:25
who? I know A lot of y'all about passed that question. But that's
1:05:34
cool. But again, I want to welcome y'all to another episode of Black
1:05:41
Girl Interrupted again at your Girl Ash and tonight we're talking about Jill Scott in
1:05:45
the National Anthem? Why are people so outraged? Do you feel like she
1:05:54
disrespected the American flag? You feel like that was a disrespect of the national
1:06:01
anthem? Hit dogs always hollowant that what the old people say, hit dogs
1:06:10
always hollow? So who was really offended? Again? Are you mad at
1:06:16
the message or the messenger? Because that's the million dollar question. Are you
1:06:27
mad that it was Jill Scott? Are you mad at what she said?
1:06:34
And then the comment that the young man made when they said, oh,
1:06:38
white people don't get up here on their platforms and do that, Yes they
1:06:41
do? Or did you forget I just showed you a video of Judy Garland
1:06:49
in black face singing a Negro spiritual, a Negro hymn. You don't feel
1:06:59
like that was and disrespectful? Again, what about those kids that I want
1:07:04
to say that was last year or maybe earlier this year that dressed up in
1:07:09
black face? What about the white kids that were put in cotton on the
1:07:16
little black boy's head in California? M you don't find that disrespectful? What
1:07:30
about the kids that dressed up in black face. You're not mad about that.
1:07:44
Again, y'all pick some of the weirdest things to be mad about.
1:07:51
We need to be mad about real, live issues. Again. Let's be
1:07:58
mad that they overturned rule versus wade. Let's be upset that they overturned affirmative
1:08:05
action and in colleges and universities. If you're really gonna be upset, be
1:08:14
upset about things that really truly matter in this world. Jill Scott singing a
1:08:18
song is not anything to be upset about. And for him to for that
1:08:27
young man to turn around and disrespect absolutely disgusting. So the question is,
1:08:39
since you want to know what Jill Scott is doing with how many what are
1:08:42
you doing with yours? Are you giving back to your community? Are you
1:08:47
helping to build schools? That's the answer. I'm wading. All m funny
1:09:04
to me. This whole situation was a joke because I said, now I
1:09:12
know they're not mad. Then I went and I listened to and I said,
1:09:15
oh, I see why they're up. Said they're mad because she told
1:09:19
the truth. They're mad because she said, this is not the land of
1:09:29
the free, but the home of the slave. Mhmm. What else are
1:09:39
y'all mad about? Is anyone prepared to go out to the polls and vote?
1:09:50
H Is anyone upset? That's the Supreme Court denied the dismissal of student
1:09:59
loans and that could have helped a lot of Americans. But you're not mad
1:10:11
about that. Y'all want to sit here and say, oh, Jill Scott,
1:10:16
Jill Scott, Jill Scott, or she's so disrespectful, this fat bitch
1:10:23
is disrespectful. Oh, because I've heard it all. I've heard it all.
1:10:31
So the question is America really the land of the free? And if
1:10:34
so, for who are we as African Americans? Are we really free in
1:10:44
America? Honestly? Are we really truly free? Drop in the Thomas y'all
1:10:56
let me know. Do y'all really believe that African Americans not free in the
1:11:00
United States of America? H m hm. I can only pray over this
1:11:18
situation because next week they'll be mad at something else. My nephew says,
1:11:29
we're not free anti not to me, absolutely not, absolutely not. Again,
1:11:42
they wanted to keep us oppressed. They never wanted us to have anything,
1:11:47
They never wanted us to own anything. They wanted the black boys to
1:11:55
just shut up and dribble the ball or throw it up. All they've told
1:12:04
America that black men are are not active in their children's lives, and I
1:12:09
gave y'all the numbers. They really want y'all to hate black women and black
1:12:15
men so bad. It's almost like it's it's a mental illness. They really
1:12:26
want you to believe that we're bad. And know how many times, no
1:12:33
matter how many times you try to fight for us, see at the table,
1:12:38
they're not gonna let you come sit with them. Start going where you're
1:12:45
celebrated and not tolerated, because I'm absolutely gonna go where I'm celebrated and not
1:12:53
just tolerate. When I tell you, I just love you, Jill Scott,
1:13:09
I'm very proud of everything that you've done, all your accomplishments, and
1:13:15
I'm absolutely proud of you for this song. I love it. I love
1:13:23
it. I understood every word she said. I felt every note that came
1:13:30
out of her mouth. I felt that I felt that m I promised I'm
1:13:49
not gonna get emotional, but I felt that I just listening to her sing
1:13:58
that song and then listening to the backlash again, especially black men have drugged
1:14:05
your Scott sickening. We gotta do better. We really got to do better
1:14:28
as the people because it's strength and numbers. Remember that. Remember that again.
1:14:39
Do I feel like America is really the land of the free? No,
1:14:44
because you're trying to keep us locked in cages anyway. He isn't good
1:14:53
to see you, good to see you. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
1:14:58
But I think everything that you'll Scott said she stood and she represented it well.
1:15:10
She sang that song with every fiber in her body and she made you
1:15:18
feel it. But y'all upset about a song, educate yourself about the national
1:15:32
Anthem, and then let's come back and have this conversation. Do your research
1:15:39
on Francis Scott Keith and who he is, who he was. But you're
1:15:45
mad, you big man, But you're not mad at the fact that they're
1:15:56
running America into the ground. H God, bless y'all, I promise.
1:16:11
Huh. I'm about to roll into these final thoughts because debey tonight's episode,
1:16:26
I wanted to address Jill Scott and her version of the National Anthem at the
1:16:30
Essence Fest in New Orleans. Some people say she's pushing racism she's pushing us
1:16:39
to be divided. But how because she told the truth or she stated her
1:16:51
opinion and how she feels about America, Why are you mad? That's her
1:17:00
opinion. If she feels that way, she's entitled to feel that way.
1:17:04
Stop trying to take people's opinions away. Just because there's a difference of opinions.
1:17:10
You're entitled to yours, and Jill Scott was entitled to hers. She
1:17:14
felt like that was the perfect time touching the song because we all know Independence
1:17:19
Day it's not for us. We got June Team. So again, why
1:17:31
are you really mad? Are you mad more at the message? Again?
1:17:34
I'm gonna ask are you more mad at the message or the messenger and who
1:17:39
it was delivered from? Because I'm giving Jill Scott a rounds of applause,
1:17:49
I'm telling her thank you, Salute to you, Miss Jill Scott, Salute
1:18:03
to you. I can't wait for this to pass over, because guess what,
1:18:20
y'all'll be mad at something else tomorrow. Y'all just temporarily mad at this
1:18:26
right now. So my sister says, the White's disrespect us daily. But
1:18:32
that's the shit they're not ready to discuss and you want to know why,
1:18:35
because when you address the disrespect that they have towards blacks, they have to
1:18:43
look at their me malls and they pop Paul's in the face. They have
1:18:46
to address they're me malls and they're racist bullshit, and they're not ready to
1:18:56
do that. Number One, it doesn't fit the narrative. So they're going
1:19:02
to switch and twist it to a way that fits their narrative and what they
1:19:10
feel it is. Because again, and I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna
1:19:14
say this again, they did this with Colin Kaepernick. When Colin Kaepernick decided
1:19:17
to take a knee. Oh my god, he's disrespecting the flag. All
1:19:21
he's doing this, all he's doing that, but you overlooked why he did
1:19:28
it. A lot of these celebrities are utilizing a lot of these black celebrities
1:19:35
at and athletes and whoever are now utilizing their platforms to get their messages across
1:19:44
to get the America talking about police brutality and how they're killing black men and
1:19:49
black women at alarming rates Black men and black women. These athletes, actors,
1:19:56
doctors, whatever, are utilizing their platforms for the raid A good Yeah,
1:20:00
you got a few bad apples in the bunch that be on some bs
1:20:02
sometimes, But guess what, the ones that are utilizing their platform for the
1:20:09
good, you're not giving them their props. Can we congratulate Lebron James for
1:20:15
opening a school in Cleveland? Can we give Nellie a round of applause?
1:20:20
Because again I want to say what it's been. I want to say,
1:20:24
maybe the last ten years, fifteen years, Nellie has been sending two students
1:20:28
to college every year. But you tell Jill Scott, why don't you go
1:20:35
take your a million dollars and go build a school in the inner city community?
1:20:43
Again, how do you know she hasn't, Because if I'm not mistaken,
1:20:50
I believe Jill Scott has contributed to the music department in various schools in
1:20:57
Philly. If I'm not mistaken, I could be about that. But I
1:21:00
think she. I think she has. Give this lady her accolades, give
1:21:05
this lady around up applause for being brave to stand up there and do that.
1:21:15
So I applied you not only for you having the strength and the couragements,
1:21:18
Scott, but for you getting there and you telling America how you feel.
1:21:27
And they don't like that. They want you to shut up and go
1:21:29
along with the agenda that they have for us. Well, a lot of
1:21:33
y'all have tried to put us in a box. But guess what, Now
1:21:36
we're breaking out. We're thinking on our own, we're moving and doing things
1:21:43
on our own terms. And I think that's that's where a lot of them
1:21:49
are upset, because now you can no longer control us like you did when
1:21:53
we were slaves unless we're behind bars. And that's where a lot of these
1:21:58
police officers really truly won't us sickness but the truth. And those are my
1:22:11
final thoughts. I do want to say, thank y'all. Tonight was a
1:22:15
really really, really really good episode. Like I really had to digestice.
1:22:25
I really had to sit back and say, man, Jill, that was
1:22:30
awesome. That was amazing, And I listened to it over and over and
1:22:38
over and over again, and I absolutely could relate to everything Jill Scott said
1:22:44
on that song and I love her for that. Thank you for going out
1:22:51
there in your pure essence and Blissmas Jill Scott and representing plus black women.
1:23:02
I salute you for that. I absolutely salute her for that. She did
1:23:12
that. My girl did that. Salute to you miss Scott. Huh.
1:23:23
Another episode down, y'all, Another episode down, But I'm good, So
1:23:30
moving on. So Black Girl interrupted again. Y'all know I'm live every Tuesday,
1:23:34
every Thursday night. Next week, I believe I am addressing health.
1:23:41
Yeah, Tuesday and Thursday, I'm speaking to men and women about their health.
1:23:45
So Tuesday on women, Thursday on men, and then August, I
1:23:54
think, Yeah, the end of July going into August, we're gonna be
1:24:00
talking about relationships and some of you ladies are gonna get triggered, but I
1:24:08
don't care because the way some of you women think is lost and disturbing to
1:24:14
me, absolutely disturbing to me, It is absolutely disturbing. But I do
1:24:20
want to say I love you guys. Thank y'all so much for tuning in
1:24:25
with me. Y'all. Y'all come in, y'all, show me love everything.
1:24:29
But I do want to give y'all some more good news. So I
1:24:30
just received the email today for another magazew a magazine interview Shout magazine here in
1:24:39
Houston, Texas, wants to do an interview with me. Of course,
1:24:45
I can't wait. I can't wait to post a link because I've done.
1:24:51
I just did another interview for a magazine called Unpacking the Podcast. Oh,
1:24:59
and that should be out in a couple of days. I will post the
1:25:01
link for that one. Um let's see. I do have this upcoming interview
1:25:08
with Shout Again, which is a magazine here in Houston, Texas. I
1:25:13
do have another virtual interview in August. I believe it's August the twenty six
1:25:18

1:25:23
for you guys, tune in and comes, you know, come support your
1:25:26
girl, comes, show me some love. Support is always free, you
1:25:30
know. And again for the ones that don't know, Black Girl Interrupted is
1:25:36
expanding officially in September. Again. I have not honed in on a date,
1:25:45
but I'm shooting for somewhere in the middle of September to get everything rolling.
1:25:51
I do want to let y'all know the website is currently down right now
1:25:55
because I am doing some revamping. I'm polishing up the website, so I
1:26:00
plan to have the website back up and running by the by the end of
1:26:03
the weekend. I really got to sit out and do that, uh,
1:26:08
and then I had to work on some more episodes, and then I had
1:26:11
to reach out to some guests that I'm trying to get to come over here
1:26:14
on the show. So a lot of beautiful things that are coming into play
1:26:18
for a Black Girl Interrupt the podcast. I'm so excited, but I didn't
1:26:24
do it. I owe it all to y'all. I owe it all to
1:26:27
y'all for coming in, day in and day out, supporting me, showing
1:26:30
me love, encouraging me, empowering me, uplifting me, inspiring me to
1:26:33
continue going on my journey. So again, Black Girl Interrupted would not be
1:26:40
going in the direction it's going to if it was not for y'all. Again,
1:26:45
for those that are just tuning in, I don't know if you saw
1:26:48
the promo video Tuesday, the promotional video for the expansion of Black Girl Interrupted.
1:26:54
But I am gonna go ahead and roll it, and then I really
1:26:58
want to leave you guys with something very empowering, encouraging, uplifting because I
1:27:02
really truly love you guys. Before this month is over, I will be
1:27:09
doing another segment where I just want to encourage somebody, so we will.
1:27:14
I will be doing another episode before the end of the month on that before
1:27:17
I roll into August, because I got beautiful feedback for me doing I just
1:27:27
want to encourage. Somebody got great feedback on that. A lot of people
1:27:31
share the video, a lot of people send me messages and said Ashley,
1:27:34
I appreciate you for acknowledging me, for pouring into me. Again, I
1:27:41
don't know what a person is going through, so I really want to pour
1:27:45
into you. I want you to know that I love you. I want
1:27:47
you to know that I'm proud of you. I want you to know that,
1:27:50
yes, you may fall down, but I want you to get back
1:27:53
up and I want you to keep going. I do want you to stop
1:27:57
standing in your way. I do want you to demming your life. I
1:28:01
do want you to know that you are gifted and you are talented, and
1:28:04
you need to allow the world to see it. But you can't be afraid
1:28:11
if your trust God. So I am gonna do a no that's gonna be
1:28:15
in August. I'm gonna do that in August because I did do one for
1:28:17
July. I'm so sorry about that, but that will be coming up soon
1:28:21
where I do another segment where I just again I dedicate the episode to you
1:28:26
guys, where I just pour into you, where I encourage you, I
1:28:30
empower you, give you your affirmations. Whatever it is you need from me,
1:28:34
I want to be able to give that to you. So again,
1:28:40
here is to promote for Black Girl Inserupted. That's standing, and then I'm
1:28:47
gonna close it out for the night. Let me know what y'all think.
1:29:33
Hey, oh yeah, I'm so sorry, y'all, I was over here
1:29:36
jamming. I liked a little beat. Shout out to my honey, um
1:29:40
for doing my intros for me. Um. Again, Black Girl Interrupted is
1:29:46
expanding. I will be debuting the Black Carpet Experience where I am spotlighting black
1:29:54
entrepreneur's baby. That's who I am putting a spotlight on. Um. I.
1:30:00
I do have a couple of people lined up, So I'm really excited
1:30:02
about that, and I hope you guys get excited about that too. I
1:30:06
hope you guys continue to support me on my journey. Again, y'all keep
1:30:10
pouring into me, Keep letting me know how much you love me, keep
1:30:14
letting me know how much how proud you are me, Because guess what,
1:30:15
I do this not only for me, but I do it for Y'allum.
1:30:20
Because again, I don't mind having these raw and uncut conversations, especially the
1:30:26
uncomfortable one. I don't mind, but I do. I will say this
1:30:31
the month of August. Ladies, y'all gonna be mad at me. That's
1:30:38
all I'm gonna see. And some of you fellows might be mad at me
1:30:42
too because I'm addressing men and women. But you ladies, Baby, y'all
1:30:48
gonna be mad with me. Y'all gonna be hot with me. But it's
1:30:51
okay, y'all get over it, and you will who cares? Oh well,
1:30:59
anyways, well, I'm gonna go ahead and bring tonight's episode to a
1:31:02
close. I love you guys again. Happy Friday, Eve. Uh.
1:31:10
I hope everyone has a great rest of the week. I hope Friday is
1:31:14
beautiful for you. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I know here
1:31:17
in Houston as hot as hades. I know it's about one thousand and fifty
1:31:20
two degrees outside, but um, stay cool. Uh, hit me up,
1:31:28
let me know what you guys are doing. Um, if there's ever
1:31:30
any topics that you would love for me to bring to the forefront, Um,
1:31:35
don't forget. Uh, there's my email address right there. Send it
1:31:41
to black Girl Interrupted one at gmail dot com. Whatever topic it is you
1:31:45
want me to discuss, whether it's relationships, whether it's sex. Um.
1:31:51
But I do have some great, great topics that I do have in the
1:31:56
works, um, that are gonna get a little uncomfortable. That it's gonna
1:32:02
get a little uncomfortable, especially when it when it comes down to talking about
1:32:06
relationships. It's gonna get a little uncomfortable. Maybe for the ladies, maybe
1:32:10
for the fellas. But it's gonna get uncomfortable. But that's cool. Um,
1:32:15
y'all already know this is a safe space. Y'all already know I tolerate
1:32:18
zero disrespect. I do ask that on every episode, and y'all have been
1:32:25
wonderful about that. Is keep the disrespect for comments to yourself, you know,
1:32:30
respect everyone that comments, because again, everyone has an opinion. Not
1:32:32
everyone thinks the same, and that's what makes us unique. But again,
1:32:38
I have some great, great, great conversations that I want to bring to
1:32:42
the forefront. I've been getting emails and messages about topics they want me to
1:32:47
bring two Black Girl Interrupted. One I may push forward because that particular topic
1:32:56
is personal to me and it's gonna be about bullying. Um. That one
1:33:01
is very personal to me, soul. I may push that one up.
1:33:10
I may slide it back and just wait, but but again, I have
1:33:14
some great, great, great conversations, great topics that I am currently working
1:33:17
on. Um and I hope you guys continue to enjoy the content. Don't
1:33:21
forget y'all like, share, subscribe, comment, let me know what you're
1:33:26
like, let me know what you don't like. Don't forget go subscribe to
1:33:29
my YouTube channel. It is on the Black Girl Interrupted. Um My Sois
1:33:34
says he's pissed at you're for her version of the national anthem, but he's
1:33:42
not pissed at one of the biggest promoters of racism and wants his orange racist
1:33:45
back in office. Make it makes sense. The caucosity girl be bad?
1:33:51
Do you hit me? And that's what? And you know sis to double
1:33:56
back on that. They're mad about that, but you're not mad at what
1:34:00
the Supreme Court has done and the things that they've over overturned. You don't
1:34:04
realize that this is another distraction for what they're doing here in America. But
1:34:09
no one's paying attention these quote unquote walk people. Y'all aren't paying attention to
1:34:17
this is another distraction. This is another thing to get America in an uproar
1:34:24
while they continue to do underminded things to us over here. Again, they
1:34:30
just overturned affirmative action. They have overturned roll versus weight. They have the
1:34:36
Supreme Court has said, no, we're not dismissing student loan debts from millions
1:34:43
and millions of Americans. Are y'all not paying attention to America? This Jill
1:34:50
Scott situation another distraction. That submarine incident another distraction. And all the while
1:35:00
they didn't overturn affirmative action, but y'all weren't paying attention because y'all were too
1:35:09
focused on what they're putting out in the media instead of what's in your face.
1:35:15
Another distraction. Whether marine up there in Camp Pendleton had a fourteen year
1:35:19
old girl in his barracks, y'all not mad about that? Another distraction.
1:35:29
But I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get into that tonight because that would be
1:35:31
a whole another hour or two our conversation. So we're gonna save that for
1:35:35
another day. But again, uh, don't forget subscribed to Black Girl Interrupted
1:35:41
on YouTube. Um anytime you want to catch the recaps. I'm on all
1:35:45
the streaming platforms again. I'm streaming I'm streaming to Ireland, I am streaming
1:35:50
to Africa. I am streaming to India. UM just got word that I
1:35:56
am streaming in the UK. Now I believe I've That's what it said.
1:36:00
I'm streaming now in the UK. So I'm really trying to push and make
1:36:03
black Girl interrupt that podcast. Oh my sis says I was at Essence and
1:36:11
saw it live and sist it was a beautiful thing with a standing ovation.
1:36:15
They could stay big man. You know what? Sis. When I went
1:36:17
back and I watched the video even tonight, the hair on my arms stood
1:36:25
up because it gave me chills. Because no one listened to the lyrics because
1:36:32
again, no one understands Francis Scott Key was a slave owner. Francis Scott
1:36:44
Key did not write that song for the people that look like me. And
1:36:47
you go back and watch Birth of a Nation, Go back, can watch
1:37:00
Twelve Years a Slave, Go back and watch Roots, Go watch Your Time
1:37:10
to Kill, go back and watch Mississippi Burning, Go back and watch the
1:37:18
Mega Ever Stories story. I'm sorry, the Mega Ever story. Hell.
1:37:26
Google Julie Garland and black face. Google all the people that have dressed up
1:37:33
in recent time and black face and thought it was funny. Again, We've
1:37:39
always been the ridicule. We've always been the center of everyone's jokes. But
1:37:46
you say, we're promoting racism. That's what they said, Sins, That's
1:37:54
what they told us. They say, Oh my god, y'all are promoting
1:37:58
racism. Scott is promoting racism. She needs to take her millions of dollars
1:38:02
and go build a school in an inner city community. That's what they say.
1:38:08
It sis. But again, y'all want to be us. Y'all are
1:38:19
paying money to be us. But no one's ready to have that conversation.
1:38:28
Y'all aren't ready to address the fact that racism still exists in twenty twenty three.
1:38:33
Y'all keep saying it doesn't, but it does. Funny, huh,
1:38:45
funny. How y'all never want to address anything until it fits your narrative.
1:38:56
It has to fit your narrative. You have to. It's construe and alter
1:39:04
so it looks good to you. See, you'd rather cover the truth with
1:39:10
an ugly lie. For what Jill Start said in the National anthemt was the
1:39:15
absolute truth. She said, the home of the slave. Do we own
1:39:25
anything in America? We don't even own the homes we live in. But
1:39:31
y'all not ready to have that conversation though, God bless But again, I
1:39:38
do hope you guys are loving the content. Like I said, I'm gonna
1:39:42
keep bringing your beautiful content week after week after week after week after week.

All criticism is welcome. I always want to try to strive to be better
1:40:18

thirty pm Central Time, nine thirty pm Eastern Time, and I will be
1:40:48
talking about health. I'll be talking about women in their health. I'll be
1:40:53
discussing men in their health and why it's imperative that we need to take care
1:40:57
of ourselves, not only our men, but our physical and our spiritual.
1:41:02
But on that note, I love you guys, God bless you again.
