A lot of us don’t know we deserve it. I’m recovering from self Sabotage myself. I now know I deserve more for myself and will move accordingly by and thanks to Gods grace!

Why should a Black writer focus on writing about white people? I'd read Toni Morrison because want to read what SHE writes.

I came to look for this episode after watching the Tragedy Khadafi episode of Drink Champs.He said Will Smith had the Intelligent Hoodlum poster in his room, and Will did that on his own.Tragedy was very appreciative of the free promotion.

predominately white institution (PWI)

Was there also something distorted about the psyche of the African tribes who sold POWs to the Europeans?

PLEASE stop saying "X" zavier It's pronounced, Zavier (Xavier) University!!!

I like this scene, but gotta admit even though this clip is 10 years old, I don’t get the phrase “read patriarchy for filth.” Sounds like some grammar I don’t get.

Go Phylicia!

love the cosby show a lot my favorite .

Kamala Harris?

That show is truly incredible!!!!💕💕💕

Just started this on Friday. It's a really good show. I can't wait for the 2nd season to come out. They need way more episodes. At least 12. Written well, and the characters are perfect.

WOWWWWW 2024. THE PART ABOUT IF YOU CAN ONLY BE TALL WHEN SOMEONE IS THEIR KNEES

Read him for FILTH with tact and class. Iconic!

Phylicia Rashad, the best TV mom ever❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love her response

“And there you are, all strung out, and all you got is your little self. And what is that? What are you without racism? Are you any good? Are you still strong? Are you still smart? You still like yourself?”

How sway?

BOOBIES!

This Aunt Viv was amazing

"Writing about race" doesn't mean writing about charachters that look like you. It means talking about the struggles of people that suffer racism. So the way she interprets the question is one-sided. You can still tell stories where characters are black but their lives are not defined by racism. Just like you can write a story about jewish people without focussing on the holocaust. Of course she can write about the topics that she prefers, but I see that she also likes to twist other people's questions into the narrative that she likes to talk about.

started reading abt her at the age of 11 in nigeria.. she, malcom x and maya angelou

Original Aunt Viv had a class that remains unmatched. The only woman that could have given her a run for her money would have been Marian (Whitley Gilbert’s) mom.

She says she writes for black people, not the "white gaze", and yet it is only that vast white audience she unaccountably acquired that gave her mainstream success, innumerable (undeserved) plaudits and a platform for grovelling interviews such as these. She may say till she is blue-black(er) in the face that she writes about blacks, for blacks, but if her books were read, and more importantly bought, only by blacks, where would she be? What would she have? How large is the black book market for literary fiction? How large was it in the 60s and 70s? Russians can write books only for Russians and do just fine, since there's a lot of Russians, and a lot of Russians read books. Is the same true of African-Americans? More importantly, if we took away her race, what would SHE have left? Would she be any good--as a writer? If she had been White and male, would she have received a fraction of the fawning praise and attention she did as a black woman writer? Such a subtle but disingenuous game she plays. Saying so sweetly what she writes is not about us at all, racism is our problem, leave her out of it. But if we took her advice (as I wish we would) and left her (and her dusky witchy ilk) alone, then she truly would be left out on the margin, in the cold, excluded, without her prizes and royalties and public appearances and sycophantic interviewers like these she so delights to lord it over in her passive-(micro?)-aggressive way, to flaunt her much (self) vaunted moral superiority in their gaves. This is the paradox of the black public intellectual, of the black liberal, if you will. He adopts a posture of disdaining, of bristling under the (obsequious, servile, adoring, imploring) gaze of his white liberal bootkissers *ahem* readership. But without the pallid host, on what would the dark parasite feed? Who would pause, much less pay, to hear his sweet, sly Jim Crow mockingbird song?

Toni da phoney

Kayla you don't owe your family 💩 ITS YOUR LIFE

I swear will dumb just like me😂

Racism is a subset of the larger pathology which thinks of any person mainly as a member of some group rather than an individual. This video does little to reduce the confusion surrounding race because they both talk of "whites" and "blacks" as if these groups are monolithic and stereotypical. Consider: 1. Race is not the same as skin color. There are thousands of non-white tribes in sub saharan Africa. Many people in such tribes hate neighboring tribes and have for thousands of years, including centuries of intertribal slavery and many efforts at genocide. This continues today. 2. A racist is anyone who thinks that race is important (positively or negatively). 3. A person's skin color is irrelevant to any decision beyond perhaps sunburn treatment or diagnosis of sickle cell anemia. 4. True diversity is the individual diversity that only the human species has evolved to celebrate. You are no longer limited to be a hunter or a gatherer or the son of a king. In the modern world it is your choices and actions after birth (not accidents of birth) that allow you to create your own essential individual identity. Toni Morrison and Charlie Rose are unique individuals.

The glare from the mirror is blinding

I will also say, the Og Aunt Viv was also a really an important figure/example for Poc’s and I learned ALOT from her about being both strong and nurturing.

This show had incredible character development and story lines and was so well rounded and heart felt , before they replaced Aunt Viv and changed the writing style. It was really tragic actually and the show was never as good afterwards.

Profound, indeed, Ms. Morrison!

Made her career on finding racism.

Toni Braxton was in the same boat as well. Also don't worry Kayla, think of every African American Person who went through much more to get to a level of Higher Education.

An amazing woman and writer. She is missed.

The way he demanded for her to “give ⚪️ppl free advice.” Whew he would’ve got slapped. He’s old enough to have seen ⚪️ only signs on stores 😒

Modern women a d redpill men need this.

Charlie was gaslighting

I always loved the dark skinned Aunt VIV

The closest we got to a Fresh Prince and Different World crossover

The white racism in this country isn't Black America biggest problem speaking for self our biggest problem is the division among us he has been successful in dividing and conquer one of the oldest tactical move used every since Jesus walked this land and the irony of it all WE have allowed it to happen if you ask me how was this accomplished I would point out the lack of love ,respect, trust ,and the willingness to help our neighbors oh less I forget to add selfishness, greed and the lost of identity

I could listen to her talk forever

What a classy response ❤️

Racist POS.

This is corny af. I’m embarrassed for liking it as a child.

O I thought this "Culture Content" channel was from Oprah. Mon mal!
