Latest / The D.L. Hughley Show / DLHS Hour 1 | Sarah Paulson Blames Sexism and Ageism for Decline in Roles
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Would you say that in America that white mothers are
- 0:05Speaker 1: the symbol of motherhood?
- 0:06Speaker 2: I would say that. That's my question.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't buy a wallet without a white woman
- 0:10Speaker 1: and a baby in it. You buy a stroller, diapers.
- 0:14Speaker 1: any magazine, baby books.
- 0:16Speaker 3: Or just go to the baby section and every image,
- 0:19Speaker 3: just about, or at least the majority of them, are
- 0:21Speaker 3: all white women with babies.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Yes. All of them. And I think with the country
- 0:26Speaker 1: even Gayle had problems with is a white woman who
- 0:28Speaker 1: was a symbol of motherhood was being thwarted by a
- 0:32Speaker 1: black man who was anything but that. Because everything that
- 0:35Speaker 1: happens in the black community, according to media and this country,
- 0:40Speaker 1: is the fault of either single black women or Single
- 0:44Speaker 1: black mothers and absent black fathers. But white women never
- 0:47Speaker 1: come under that kind of scrutiny.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Never.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Never.
- 0:50Speaker 1: You choke kids to death with an exercise band, which
- 0:52Speaker 1: is a symbol of white privilege. You know what motherhood is? Sacrifice. Yes.
- 0:58Speaker 1: It's mothers right now that are walking their kids across
- 1:00Speaker 1: deserts so they have a better life. It's mothers right
- 1:03Speaker 1: now that are not eating, so that's sacrifice. In the Bible,
- 1:07Speaker 1: that woman was rather letting her baby go with a
- 1:10Speaker 1: stranger than letting him get cut in half.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Split in half.
- 1:13Speaker 3: And as you said earlier, you know, there are women
- 1:16Speaker 3: who give up their babies in order that the baby
- 1:19Speaker 3: may have a better life.
- 1:20Speaker 1: That's it. Come on now.
- 1:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Peyton Panettere knew she was in a mentally compromised way
- 1:25Speaker 1: and gave them to their father. This woman killed her
- 1:29Speaker 1: kids talking about going to Jesus. Couldn't they go to
- 1:30Speaker 1: their mother-in-law? They can't go to that?
- 1:32Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
- 1:34Speaker 1: If you had time to research how long it was
- 1:35Speaker 1: going to take for your husband to get back, you
- 1:37Speaker 1: had time to research how long before your sister-in-law get
- 1:40Speaker 1: here to pick him up. You could do that, too.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Instead?
- 1:43Speaker 1: It's sick. It really is sick. And you mad at
- 1:45Speaker 1: people because they didn't go for it. But this is
- 1:47Speaker 1: the first time that a black man ever stopped a
- 1:51Speaker 1: white woman from being free. I'm not even trying to
- 1:54Speaker 1: be funny.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Yes, you are.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be funny. I guarantee you this
- 1:59Speaker 1: is the first time a black man's today. They all say, well,
- 2:02Speaker 1: she's going to go free. Nah, this ain't going nowhere.
- 2:04Speaker 1: It's the first time.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Yeah. I like it, though, because can you imagine him,
- 2:08Speaker 3: you know, as a black man in the room and
- 2:10Speaker 3: he's the lone holdout against all those other people.
- 2:14Speaker 2: He's like, I don't care what you're talking about.
- 2:15Speaker 1: They done turned into the white Amistad. Give us free. No,
- 2:20Speaker 1: not today. Happy birthday to Doug E.

- 3:28Speaker 1: Sarah Paulson is trending. I did Studio 60 with her.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Well, give her a shout because people are very upset
- 3:38Speaker 3: with her because she talked about how well she did.
- 3:43Speaker 2: After the O.J. Remember the O.J. series that she.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Did with Courtney Vance and Sterling K.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Brown?
- 3:51Speaker 3: Well, she did an interview in Variety, and she basically
- 3:55Speaker 3: was saying how after all of those awards, she didn't
- 3:58Speaker 3: get any more big roles after that. However, she was like, well,
- 4:02Speaker 3: Sterling K. Brown and Courtney B. Vance, they got all
- 4:04Speaker 3: the roles. They both got major roles, you know.
- 4:08Speaker 1: She played Marsha Clark.
- 4:09Speaker 2: She did.
- 4:10Speaker 3: But she says the reason why is she believes it
- 4:13Speaker 3: was attributed to sexism and ageism.
- 4:18Speaker 1: She was in American Horror Story for a long time.
- 4:21Speaker 1: She had great roles. She did 12 Years a Slave.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Well, she said she didn't hardly get any roles after OJ.
- 4:28Speaker 1: She did 12 Years a Slave.
- 4:29Speaker 2: I'm just telling you what she said.
- 4:31Speaker 3: She said, I haven't really been offered any big movie
- 4:34Speaker 3: roles after Sweeping the People versus O.J.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Well, you can't try to get an a * *
- 4:39Speaker 1: sent up and beat a woman because of soap and
- 4:41Speaker 1: get roles.
- 4:42Speaker 2: No, I love Cher.
- 4:44Speaker 1: I love Cher.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Well, when you consider the fact that black actors only
- 4:46Speaker 3: hold about 6.5% of the leading roles compared to 76%
- 4:52Speaker 3: of white actors, it was a little tone deaf.
- 4:54Speaker 1: She was in Horror Story. I got you.
- 4:56Speaker 3: I'm just telling you what she said. She said, I
- 4:58Speaker 3: do not get big movie roles. I don't get them.
- 5:01Speaker 3: No offers, no nothing. She said, meanwhile, Sterling K. Brown
- 5:04Speaker 3: and Courtney B. Vance, and we were on the same show.
- 5:06Speaker 3: We were like, hey, man, wait a second.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Snitch.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Courtney B. Vance ain't on no major movies.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Yeah, he just did... He's one of the ones that
- 5:17Speaker 2: he's just in a movie all the time.
- 5:19Speaker 1: I'm saying Sterling K. Brown does, but Sterling's more Paradise.
- 5:25Speaker 1: American Horror Story is as big a hit as Paradise is.
- 5:29Speaker 1: This is us.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Yeah, but this is us.
- 5:33Speaker 1: That ain't a movie. Yeah.
- 5:35Speaker 3: Paradise, This Is Us, American Fiction, Is God Is, Waves,
- 5:39Speaker 3: Black Panther, Supernatural, American Crime Story.
- 5:44Speaker 1: She was in American Crime Story.
- 5:45Speaker 2: He was in that horrible movie, Honk for Jesus.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Yeah, Honk for Jesus. Now, come on. That's the white
- 5:50Speaker 1: snow dog. That's another snow dog.
- 5:53Speaker 2: That was the white soul plane.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Yeah, it was terrible.
- 5:56Speaker 2: I'm just playing. I'm just playing.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Shots fired.
- 6:00Speaker 2: I'm just playing.
- 6:01Speaker 1: All right, just finish.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Anyway, I wanted to give you the details. We were
- 6:04Speaker 2: talking about this.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Yes, we were talking yesterday about that fight that took
- 6:10Speaker 3: place in the Black Eye. And the white guy in
- 6:12Speaker 3: the airport. And I was telling you about it.
- 6:15Speaker 2: It was a frontier.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Airline in Denver.
- 6:19Speaker 3: And apparently the white guy was really talking a lot
- 6:22Speaker 3: of smack to the black guy and just kept saying
- 6:24Speaker 3: things over and over to kind of, you know, kind of.
- 6:28Speaker 1: And the black dude went, your car is.
- 6:29Speaker 3: And he said, you know, I'll put you six feet under, dude.
- 6:32Speaker 3: And the black guy just kept walking. And then he
- 6:34Speaker 3: said something else. And then Skip was right. He's called
- 6:37Speaker 3: him the N-word.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Turned around and laid into him.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the N-word comes with a headache, right? Yeah.
- 6:45Speaker 1: It comes with that.
- 6:45Speaker 2: That particular N-word did. It used to be an option,
- 6:48Speaker 2: but now it comes standard.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the airbags go, you can ring my bell.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Ring my bell.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Ring it. Ring it.
- 6:58Speaker 3: Ring it.
- 6:58Speaker 4: Ring it.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Woo. Woo.
- 7:00Speaker 2: You can't rain, man.
- 7:04Speaker 3: Anyway, I just thought it was interesting that it was
- 7:06Speaker 3: a Frontier era. I mean, it was, Frontier fights just
- 7:08Speaker 3: the way Spirit did. Yeah.
- 7:10Speaker 2: With a lot of Spirit.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I could always tell because the, the terminal was bare.
- 7:15Speaker 2: It was bare, wasn't it? You could tell. They probably
- 7:17Speaker 2: had no restaurants or anything.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Just two vending machines. That's it.
- 7:20Speaker 2: That's all you get. But that's what's trending.
- 7:22Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. I'm not, I'm not
- 7:24Speaker 1: being judgmental. It's not like, you gonna, let me tell
- 7:27Speaker 1: you something. You gonna find a n * * *
- 7:28Speaker 1: a or two at Frontier.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:30Speaker 1: You got a chance. You gonna find something. You will
- 7:32Speaker 1: find the right one. I done paid $ 17 for this
- 7:37Speaker 1: ticket and he called me.
- 7:38Speaker 2: A n * * * a.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Yeah. Frontier looks up to Southwest. They're like, we want
- 7:45Speaker 1: to be them one day.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
- 7:48Speaker 1: A man talks about how he's not going to let
- 7:50Speaker 1: his transgender brother-in-law take care of his kids. Take a listen.
- 7:53Speaker 4: I don't want to confuse my two boys. We have
- 7:56Speaker 4: two boys and a little girl. Why would you want
- 7:58Speaker 4: that around them? One is 10. One is 8. The
- 8:03Speaker 4: little girl's 11. They ask the most craziest questions. You
- 8:06Speaker 4: don't think they're going to ask me Who was this person?
- 8:09Speaker 4: Why is Uncle Wayne in a dress? Turned to a
- 8:12Speaker 4: big uproar, got into a big argument. So yeah, I
- 8:15Speaker 4: went into the guest room. And not to mention, she's
- 8:17Speaker 4: talking about she can't be with somebody who doesn't allow
- 8:20Speaker 4: her family members to be active in our kids' lives.
- 8:23Speaker 4: I have no problem with your bro, whatever, being active.
- 8:28Speaker 4: Just not alone with them. He's not taking them out
- 8:31Speaker 4: of town. He's not spending the night with them without
- 8:34Speaker 4: one of us being there. And I don't agree with
- 8:37Speaker 4: his lifestyle, so I don't know what he's going to
- 8:38Speaker 4: do with talking about in front of the kids. We
- 8:41Speaker 4: haven't seen him, her in 10 years. The man I
- 8:44Speaker 4: met had a clean shaved head, had a fiance. This
- 8:48Speaker 4: new person now has a dress, a wig, and fingernails.
- 8:51Speaker 4: Maybe we need to discuss on how this came about
- 8:55Speaker 4: before we let him take our kids. What you guys
- 8:58Speaker 4: thought on that? Am I being an a * * hole?
- 9:00Speaker 4: Am I being pigheaded, you know, stubborn? I don't know.
- 9:05Speaker 1: I don't get it.
- 9:06Speaker 4: There's no word today, but it's not happening here.
- 9:09Speaker 1: You think he's right or wrong? We're going to go
- 9:11Speaker 1: to our social media platform. Skip, what are they.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Saying out there? Antoine in Cedar Hill.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Oh, I see how this is going to go. Antoine
- 9:20Speaker 1: in Cedar Hill says, I don't know what's wrong with you.
- 9:24Speaker 2: He's the kid's uncle. He should be able to take
- 9:26Speaker 2: care of them.
- 9:27Speaker 1: You know, here's the thing.
- 9:29Speaker 2: She's now. Well, he was an uncle.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Now, okay.
- 9:34Speaker 2: Antoine just got to work on it. Just leave it alone. Whatever.
- 9:37Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 9:37Speaker 1: I read it wrong.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sorry.
- 9:40Speaker 1: I think, oh, wow. I think to his brother-in-law, he's
- 9:45Speaker 1: a stranger. She's a stranger. I don't know this broad.
- 9:48Speaker 1: I don't know who she is.
- 9:49Speaker 2: He said that. He said, I ain't seen her for
- 9:51Speaker 2: 10 years. And he was Chuck when he left.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Listen, I think that honestly, what's more dangerous than transgender
- 10:00Speaker 1: is white dudes. Right. Interesting. It is. 70% of America's
- 10:08Speaker 1: registered sex offenders are middle-aged white dudes. So we may say,
- 10:12Speaker 1: screw them kids, but they actually do it. So I
- 10:14Speaker 1: think you got to. Yeah, but I could see not
- 10:17Speaker 1: wanting to confuse your kid like that. I could see that.
- 10:20Speaker 1: I could see that. But I don't know if that
- 10:23Speaker 1: makes you a bigot. I think it makes you a prudent.
- 10:25Speaker 1: I think you are the guardian of not only your
- 10:29Speaker 1: children's physical well-being, but emotional and psychological well-being too, right?
- 10:35Speaker 2: Yeah, in theory.
- 10:37Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say in theory.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Yeah, amen. Well, we're going to hear from these naysayers
- 10:43Speaker 1: right there.
- 10:46Speaker 2: That's a nice way to put it.
