Firstly, there is no he’s not showing up until you’re okay with yourself. That’s not the planet we live on. Just as we were told find Mr right while boys are taught to get money, there are people regardless of gender who don’t operate that way. There’s 9.5 billion humans on earth, there is no template even though too many people rush to a template when they begin questioning the differences between male & female mental capacity and interactions. This trinkets game is only played by people in certain situations, it is not something every female does & guys usually have different reasons for doing the same thing. Secondly, anyone with sense (reality doesn’t change just because of folks without sense or those who ignore sense) wouldn’t put a wagon before the horse. Don’t be comfortable thinking you can be physically intimate with someone you don’t know like dat, or know at all. Right when you look at a chick yall be expecting open legs just because you found her attractive, you think if you compliment her and googly eyes her it’s all the false entitlement you need to behave like a toddler with a cookie habit if she doesn’t respond with her ass in the air so stop it. If you’re not even comfortable with someone leaving something at your house, ya black ass shouldn’t have brought them to yo house in the first place. Why was they even in yo face for real? Why is there an issue about folks leaving stuff at the house when the bigger question is why is anyone finding physical intimacy as a green light yet AFTER the physical intimacy you have antennas going off????….. FOH wit dat bulllllshit. Most guys only putting on an act for some cheeks anyway and then AFTER he goes there and becomes uncomfortable about having to continue his act until the chick comes to realization is when he wants to be clostriphobic. Again FOH wit dat bullllshit. Get to know folks then when your actually comfortable commence with whatever you want to do with dude. Guys want a whole report on a chick but the second he has to self assess it’s too much.

LR gave balance to MJW's perspectives. Good interview piece, glad they put them together cause if it was MJW's perspective alone, the interview would have fallen off the mountain...big up to the producer.

Good conversation family 👌🏾Facts. Don’t let anyone “mark territory.” And yes, one must be happily and successfully single first. God first.

“Make sure this is more than just a cool concept” 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Man! That was incredibly insightful! I need to see where else this interview went. Just WOW!

Such a powerful take! I Appreciate the podcast y’all! I’m gonna go checkout the full one now

….oh yeah, THEY are listening to us in privacy, and weaponizing against us

This is the same Dr. Black who made that inspiring commencement speech at Clark Atlanta. I am honored to be listening. I put that video of his speech on my social media. Peace. Gilda

They wanted our degradation and now we want that for ourselves. WOW. A very enlightened conversation. .

While we're speaking of words that there should be a moratorium on, what about the f-word, especially, because, it is often used in conjunction, with the word mother? Need I mention it is often followed by the lone word "you"? Why is such an important and pleasurably human activity, twisted and turned into such an expression of the worst of human emotional expressions? Should this word be not used by any human being?

Comrade - that's an interesting word for someone to use today. Isn't it associated with communism? Is that really a word/idea most Black-Americans people care to associate with? It is used here in association with the word community, but do we even live up to the basic idea of community?

Again. I love this platform

Interesting conversation. Particularly about the guest's nephew and the expectation that the judge would see the nephew as salvageable because he had a good network. THIS to me is fascinating. The idea that the kids who ALREADY have all the resources should be seen as valuable and those who have NEVER had resources should be seen as expendable. A very capitalist idea of who is grievable (think Judith Butler). Meaning, the loss (from incarceration, murder, etc) of the kid with no resources is NOT grievable. Is this who we have become🤔???

Please have Dr. Black back whenever scheduling permits, he is EDUCATING ok?! 🙌🏾

"I can hear the whip" I can hear the rhythm" I can understand those who hear the whip and the those who hear the rhythm! Damn that's a bar

Shout out the St Benedicts Prep crew team! Blacks and Latinos getting it in!!

Love this conversation. Can’t wait to watch more!

1:04:22 - preach

Great guest!

This show is much needd....thank you for showing diversity of thoughts. Its either comedy,over the top "pro blackness" , or over the top economic theory

Finally a grown folks conversation. Thank you so much.

loved loved loved this conversation! Kim is brilliant!

I love this!

It was NEVER OUR WORD! It was the white racist man's word. We became a colonized mind, thinking that the word described who we were supposed to be because "they called us that" let's PLEASE dig a hole so deep, put it there and leave it there!

I posted a comment earlier. I'm at 38:57 and this is very interesting...a discussion of the n-word. Your guest gave insight into the word's history among us without ever mentioning "them," the originators of the word. Masterfully done young lady.

Again Fresh Prince and Martin… two totally different shows…

The Cosby Show and A Different World are totally different. One’s family and other college come on mane!

absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!!!!!!♥♥♥♥

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥💪🏾🙏🏾👌🏾 Exquisite episode y'all.

Could we reconsider the value of the word revolution? It has more than one meaning or at least usage. It is used to denote a complete transformation of the basic nature of something usually of a social/governmental nature. But it also suggest something that rotates continually. Have "revolutions" simply brought back around what existed previously? Don't they required the same necessity of the power to defend the changes they bring about, often by any means necessary? Is that an adequate change, especially given we say we are a spiritual, resilient, creative, some even say magical people? Where should we set our sights? Is a "reset" great or otherwise, adequate for what humanity needs? Is any previous state of our existence adequate to return to? Should we be reaching for evolution. Don't we as a specie need to catch up in our emotion, moral, and spiritual evolution, with our evolution of intelligence? Without it aren't we like children with dangerous tools and weapons in our hands? Have our ideas of revolutions really been healing? If there are those among us who can be so idealistic as to call for the defunding and abolishment of police and prisons, as the level of and heinous nature of crimes, in our communities have long continued to rise, why can't there be a call for us to give ourselves a peace-dividend? What better way to defund and abolish police and prisons, than to make them largely unneeded? Is this what evolutionary healing would look like? Why is only government, which is impersonal by nature, being asked to be so idealistic, and nothing asked of we the people? The kind of change we are talking about, will never come from top down. It must come from bottom up. We must first live the idealism, we expect from government. When we live in this way, the people we elect to govern us, will be of this lifestyle, and thus govern in this way.

Jones' comments from about 20:20 to 21:00 seems to express the relatively old concept of being "unapologetically Black". The conversation from there went to the subject of "code switching". I see code switching as being multicultural. We are more like White people than we like to admit. How could we not be? That is why significant numbers of us can't relate to Africans and other Black immigrant. I have no problem seeing ebonics, as a legitimate dialect of English, but we all should be proficient in standard English. That we can't, may negatively impact our ability to learn, as we move through the educational process. As for being unapologetic about our blackness, that can be taken too far. It seem this may, to some degree, be the thinking behind many among us, who now, say Black on Black crime is not a thing, basically because people harm/commit crimes against people they live near. The factor of physical "proximity" they argue is the main consideration, when it is the closeness of the relationship between the victim and perpetrator, that is the main consideration, in 'Black on Black crime/violence'. It seems to me, their attitude is, we don't have to apologize, even to ourselves, for engaging in an extreme level of self-destructive/defeating behavior. I think this phenomenon should be widely discussed by us, since it seems significant number of us, especially recognized leaders have accepted the reality that we have psychological problems that need to be understood and treated. In saying that we are traumatized not just by the real-time continuous trauma, of everyday living, but also by trauma passed down through our genes, are we really responding adequately enough to this knowledge? What of the concept of triggering in trauma, considering the kind of audio and visual imagery we subject ourselves to, in what we consum for entertainment . Even the words we use, in everyday conversation often suggest if not state violence. What does it say about us, that we can give the communities we live in names that denote how violent they are?

It's Tiring... this podcast has great potential. BUT someone has to take the lead. Their guests have been phenomenal, but I think much is lost throughout the discussions. Peace and Blessings

It was a lesson to be learned tonight. Thank you’ll ❤

Another great episode! I think Baraka has in interesting perspective starting at a later age. As a kid I never understood alcoholism because I used to think why not just stop if you have a problem. It wasn’t until I got to high school that I started to understand. Seeing some of my classmates and younger addicted to alcohol before the legal age was eye opening.
