Dear Ann Marie! I agree 110%. Who cares about being liked? Thank you for “clarifying “!!!!! A lot of people out there have some growing up to do! Because this is just the beginning of our sorrows. God bless!
I agree! I informed my friend that I would no longer be going to a Denny's because the staff there were obviously prejudiced and even brought me a dirty syrup container. He tried to make excuses for their behavior and attempted to persuade me to play nice. I made it very clear to him that I would no longer put up with such behavior because there are too many restaurants in the area for me to spend money at disrespectful establishments. It was in that moment that I realized that we are always making nice through the disrespect.
Thanks for saying what I was thinking. Michelle is from the Southside of Chicago...we don't play silly fake it games and I get why she was missing😂 Barack has always played the nice to be nice game since I've campaigned for him here in IL his whole political career.I never thought as a Black woman, Bush's ignore and sit down move made me prouder than Obama's small talk to the incoming hot Cheetos man
I'm so afraid the overt disrespect is getting so much more prevalent and I have a horrible temper. Pray for me please. I heard my forever First Lady Michelle said she didn't go cuz she wasn't gonna be kee keeing in the orange turd's face. She gets all the respect.
Thank you once again for your musings about this topic with total agreement. Would another video be appropriate about the "icy" relationship between to be Former Madam VP and the soon to be former First Lady?
I 100% agree with you. But I see the other side. A overwhelming majority of jobs in corporate America particularly the high paying ultra-competitive jobs many have to do this to survive. I can’t do it- which is why I am constantly quitting and moving jobs. But not everyone has the courage to up and quit and move like you and I would. After all these years I have learned that to be able to live my truth fully is not compatible with most of these work spaces which is why I am trying to FIRE in the next 5 years before I turn 50.
11 minutes in… yup, this is truth. I was in a program where my teacher (colonel) was a bw. She was feared and you wouldn’t expect her to actually like you bc you had a fear (like how you would fear disrespecting your own mother). She was actually fairly nice but struck a carefully crafted balance that still kept you on your toes 😂 people complained about her for little reasons like her sternness, but let me tell you, when she left, people wanted to cry. They actually realized how much they loved her. The only other 2 bw teachers I had were during middle school. One was from Texas, straight hair, “valley girl” accent, and pretty sweet (wish I could’ve reached out to her after I left and let her know I saw what she was going through and appreciated her). The Asian students treated her with the most disrespect! It was wild. Some even left me out of group projects and work! The other one was from the Caribbean. A family and consumer Sci teacher. Had a slight “accent”. She was treated like SH!t and was also nice and unproblematic. It’s crazy. By the way, all the BM teachers I had… were all respected and cherished, like by DEFAULT. No matter is nice or stern the bw teacher was… she was always seen I a more negative light compared to the BM teachers…
Your correct Ann Marie about Obama. Obama is from the Chicago area, and he is just acting out how the wht community conditions the blk people in this area. I live in this area and see what Obama did all the time. If people are saying it was cool, they are just telling you what they are doing. But on the flip side, those same blk folks won't give another blk people the same grace Obama gave Trump.
It’s because of a power dynamic (yk YT ppl hold the power in this country, and it’s better to smile and nod) and possibly a bit of pitty. Trump, like most people, has a deep internal urge to be loved and admired. Well, his dad and mom were both immigrants, German and Scottish and although he has euro ancestry he wasn’t as respected as the multigenerational blue bloods of NY. So I guess Obama’s just trying to look past that for that occasion and try to empathize. Or maybe my take is “dumb”, idk.
Totally agree. Those smiles made bad optics.We gave Obama so much as black people. He could have at least kept a straight face and kept it curt. Did not like that pic at all.
Thanks for explaining how there are 3rd, 4th, and 5th options that dont involve placating or "acting a fool" 🙄. But...the mental gymnastics have already started in the comments. Enjoy your evening!
I agree. But there’s a part of me that wonders what happened behind the scenes. For all we know, Felon 47 could have threatened his family if he didn’t act “cordial”. I do not put anything past that man.
Errrbody forget that Obizzy is 50/50 that other side go say hi ya doin? Much respect tho he showed up and showed out. Sometimes you got to pop and show em'
I dont under the comments saying that people are just looking for drama and entertainment. Its not like you said Obama needed to snub the guy or make a scene. You just said to be cordial but not friendly. Why does Obama have to be chummy with someone who's disrespected multiple times in order to be considered an "adult"? Thats not being an adult that accepting disrespect
THANK YOU!!!!! You’re verbalizing what I was thinking! Who cares about being liked!!! God Bless your channel.

Thank you very much. I totally agree.😊😊😊
I second that! She's always on point 💯 🔥
Same!

Denny’s had to close down in some parts of Virginia because of their racism. I wouldn’t eat there if it was the same restaurant in tbe world.
I don't eat at Dennys either all the way back from 1977 to this day.
My food and my hair are two things I don’t play with at alll.
The unapologetic attitude you have is sooooo refreshing ❤
Thank you for your insightful, articulate commentary ❤❤❤.....
I agree. Thank you.
On point again.

I hear you! And you can see the look on their faces when they know you mean business like that.😊😅
Excellent video!
You absolutely 💯 sis I agree with you 💯

President Carter actually did a lot: Department of Education, being one of them. Lots more.
I agree, when I saw the exchange all I could think was wow I have faked kindness at work before. Then I thought dang Michelle was smart to not go.

I thought he was just joking, and it was a bit awkward so you just smile
