  Speaker 1: what their apology says. Target says, an apology from us.

  Speaker 1: We pulled an offensive Halloween costume that it should have

  Speaker 1: for sale. As a company, we got this wrong, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: we are deeply sorry. We know this is especially hurtful
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to our black guests, team members, and partners.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: That's all you got?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I bet you, Jiggy Boozy, you'll come here now, huh? Yeah, sure.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: They thought since black people was boycotting, we wouldn't see it. Yeah, stop.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Stop it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Wink, wink. Stop it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Big wink, wink.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: That's when you don't have black people in the boardroom like,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: what's wrong with you?
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: You know how many people they had to go through?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. From the person who did.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: The printing, the last person who approved the copy and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the print, right?
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Somebody had to say, you know what?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Not one of them was black.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, not one. This looks good. Jeremy, you did a
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: good job.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I think it's great.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Anyway, also trending. Maybe we can have some of those
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: patty pies. Another hanging. North Carolina, Demetrius Eugene Fleming, 38
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: years old, was found at home on Roanoke in Rapids
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and Roanoke Rapids. He's got nine kids. And the family,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: of course, wants answers. And, of course, the authorities are saying.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: We don't really know what's going on. I'm so tired
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: to see here.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Nothing to see here. No speculation about anything.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: And we want everybody to relax.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Don't jump to conclusions. That's always the first thing they say.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you. I don't know who did it, but
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I'm guaranteeing it was somebody white. I'm telling you.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: It's completely out of control at this point. These people
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: ain't hanging themselves. Yeah. At all.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And I will also say that little boy who got
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: shot by that police officer, why is his record sealed?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Man. You know what?
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: That's what's true.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: We got to fight to prove our love. Fight the power.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: All right. Be quiet. She's jazz. She's smart.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: It's the Jazzy Report on the D.L.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Hughley Show.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: California took a big step towards making HIV prevention more
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: accessible than ever. The California Assembly Appropriations Committee advanced Senate
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Bill 1023. which will expand access to the most powerful
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: tools for the communities to prevent the spread of HIV.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: SB 1023 requires health plans that already cover injectable PREP
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to also reimburse it through their outpatient prescription programs, which
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: is great.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: That is great. About time you're doing something good.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: It seems like it's been forever since HIV has been
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: at the forefront of health.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I didn't mean to say I need some. I don't need. Well, yeah,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: don't say that. As a community, we need it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: But the community needs it.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Well, increasing numbers of young people are identifying as graysexual,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: meaning they only feel sexual attraction occasionally, rarely, or under
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: certain conditions. Now, the group can also include other identities
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: such as demisexual, who are people who only feel attraction
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: after forming a strong emotional bond. Now, experts believe social
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: media has a lot to do with the spread of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: different identity terms.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Great sexual. I thought that was like, you know, having
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: sex with an old person. I thought that was.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Nah, either that or it's just flat sex.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Like, it's just boring. It's great. I thought it was
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: just marriage sex.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: What's that? Thanks for that encouragement.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: To get married. What is that? You know your birth date.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Thanks for those encouraging words.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: No wonder I've never been married. Yeah, buddy.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: No, thanks.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: But we're grateful for whatever we get. Yeah, sure you are, Jim.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: All right. So this is very interesting, kind of lighter.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: So there was a young white woman with braids who
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: confronts a black woman who had a problem with her braids.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: This is very interesting. Apparently she wanted the smoke, baby.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I think she bought some edges, too.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Do you have a problem with white people wearing traditional
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: black hair? So I remember Bo Derek did in 10.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Remember that?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: I remember that running down the beach.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Bo Derek. You can't say like, here's the thing. They
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: do take a lot. They do culturally appropriate, but we
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: do too.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we do.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Don't tell me you mad
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: at their braids and you got blue contacts in. That's weird.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: But we were brainwashed to do ours. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Don't tell me that. They just like our stuff. Well, well, well.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Don't tell me that we don't coach them. When you're
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: straightening your hair, you're doing it to what? Well, no, no, no, no, no.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I disagree with that.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: You do?
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I disagree with that. Maybe the color contacts, perhaps.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: But I think it is a totally different thing with
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the way that they have, you know, talked about our
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: hair and criticized it and called it nappy and called
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it all the things. And then they turn around and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: try to get it. You know, even when you look,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: To talk about rock and roll and took that, too.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I know, but that's my point.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: You know, we've never criticized their eyes or their hair
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: or whatever.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: When you live in a culture like this, people are
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: going to take from you. They take more from us.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. But don't tell me we
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: don't coach your program. We got macaroni. Come on now.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: You need their hairstyles to get a job here in America,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: you know, in a lot of cases. So we've been
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: brainwashed through television. Not to work at Sally Beauty Supply,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you know. But if you want a good job.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: So, yeah. So what do you think?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Do you think that you have a problem with– with
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: white people wearing traditional black hairstyles. That's the question that
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: we're posing to you.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: 877-242-2426.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Also, it is up on Twitter at D.O. Hughley Radio
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: or on Facebook at D.O. Hughley Show. And the website
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: is thedohughleyshow.com.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: The question we're asking a young white woman with braids
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: in front of somebody who had a problem with it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Do you agree? Do you think that.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: You have a problem with, you know, white women wearing,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: white people, you know, wearing our styles or our traditional hairstyles?
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Uh, we are going to go to our social media platform, especially.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: What are they saying? So we got Stephanie from South
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Dakota and Stephanie says.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Whatever you want to wear is whatever you want to wear,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: but people can talk about it.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah. If I see one more homeless white dude with dreadlocks,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I think I'll lose my mind.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that might be a little different, huh?
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, but I think his hair didn't grow that way.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: In some cases, I mean, in some cases, you can't
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: wash it and comb it. It could mat up on
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: its own.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Not like that. That's what a dreadlock is. They're not
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: going to look like Bob Marley.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: It's what it is. You just don't wash your hair.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: You know, in some cases, they put a little something
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: extra in it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Generally, if you, well, as someone who has hair that
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: would tend to, if I don't take care of it,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: would tend to do that, they have dreads down to
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: their ass, and you know it's not their hair.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: I see it all the time.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Homeless people?
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I see homeless people all the time.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Where are they getting this artificial hair?
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe they got it a long time ago.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: They got phones, too. I don't know who you call it.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Perhaps.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: But I see a lot of people, and I say
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: this all the time, what the world thinks of America
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: in terms of being cool and hip and avant-garde and fashion,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff, it comes from black people,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: all of it. What the world doesn't like about America
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: comes from them. Like that we, you know, are warlike and,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: you know, loud and arrogant and, you know, want everything,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: everybody to comply to our wishes and all that kind
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: of stuff. So I think it is natural for them
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to want to be like us. Like, everybody want a
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: tan until the police roll up and then nobody want
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: to be a tan. Yeah, so, but I think that there's,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: you know, in different parts of the world, if you're
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: fat and dark.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: you're rich. Yes. But here, if you're fat and dark,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: you're poor.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Know what I mean?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I also think that has a lot to do
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: with here, we have everything in excess. In certain places,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: they don't. So obviously, if you have enough that you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: can be a certain size, then that does denote wealth.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I just think it's quite remarkable how all of these
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: things that they have always talked about in a very
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: negative way about us, whether it is how colorful we dress,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: whether it is the swag in our step, whether it
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: is even, you know, black women who are curvy and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: have big butts and, you know, all of those things,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the brown skin, all of the things that they have
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: just talked so horribly about. Now, all of a sudden, well,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: not all of a sudden, but the past couple of years,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: two decades even, all of those things have become very popular,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: especially on social media.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: The bustle that they... Because they want a big butt.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: They've been doing that whole thing. Yes. It's always been.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Wearing their hair in a bun.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Even now, when you go in the stores, you know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: right next to you is a white girl buying a
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: bonnet with you.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: What you doing over here?
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: What stores are those?
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: All of them. I'm not even kidding.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: All of them.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I haven't been to a store.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: You go on CVS or you go on the store.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: I don't go on Target. But you go on some
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: of these stores.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: And the black hair kids... Ah, you don't know what's
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: going on here, man. I don't go in Target.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: God is my witness. I don't go up in there
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: no more.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Anyway, where the black hair care is, I'm telling you,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you step right there and there's somebody white right next
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: You're like, what are you doing over here? This is
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: our stuff.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: But I don't care. You can wear your hair however
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: you want to.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: I get scammed.
