Y’all sound crazy as hell Amanda Seales is for the people and she stands for us all the time. I think Amandas intellect goes over many people’s head and dumb people are offended when they can’t engage in a intellectual conversation. You can’t want someone to advocate for the community and then not include them in spaces because you don’t like them.
I personally think Amanda seal needs to get out the entertainment business get into politics because she is about the people unfortunately, if you’re in the entertainment business, it goes against you
That’s so cringe to think that activists for the black community shouldn’t expect to be liked by black people. That speaks more to us and the self hate that so prevalent.
maybe Amanda should just start looking out for herself! She is fighting an uphill battle. Take a step back and self-evaluate and ask yourself how is this serving me, my career, and my mental health.

Okay, but guess what?

You also have to deal with the backlog because you could have to wait weeks, months, or more for that passport.

We have a woman who's fighting for black social issues, feminist causes, pro choice, pro woman, pro black man, pro education that are being torn apart by social media, and the uneducated. America is in a critical state, and Amanda is trying to reach the black community, which can be lackadaisical in efforts. I appreciate and applaud Amanda for trying to shake awake THE/my people.
Missed the whole point armon was making. Just because Seales allegedly does all that, can't people disagree with some of her statements? The article that set her off pointed out some of the things that they disagree with. Her over the top response is what people criticize her about.
As someone who has been a Behavioral Health Therapist for 10 years, i cannot tell you how much it touched my heart that Armon shed light on mental health issues. i immediately felt a different emotion when you mentioned nobody was there to help her, and now the media is laughing at her and giving their opinions on top of that!😪👏🏾❤️
I congratulated Armon on his new position on the show bc it’s a great thing for him. I also stated I didn’t really care for him. I must say he’s actually winning me over. He has a fresh outlook with a different way of thinking out of the box which I knew but didn’t think this was the place for him. I was wrong. Great job Armon!!!😊😊😊
Armon nailed it with his take on Amanda Seals. He didn't misunderstand anything Al. He simply disagreed with your opinion. Being a so called advocate for the community doesn't give you the right to determine what everyone else should aspire to. Bottom line; there are too many people saying the same thing about Amanda. She is abrasive and comes across as a "know it all". If she;s not going to change, fine but she needs to understand, not everybody is going to like her.
I love how Armon was aware and felt bad that the poor lady on the plane was probably mentally ill and it’s sad how no one is there to protect her. Then he said but yeah she’d get on my nerves 😂 Kinda reminded me of how Funky would have commented ☺️ I’m liking Armon as the new panelist. He’s doing a fine job 😊 But I do miss Funky. He will always be considered an integral part of Tea Gif’s journey to me ❤️
We do have to come to an agreement about some things as a community. Jordan’s or anything of the sort over owning a home, getting your credit up, having a passport (just in case), is just insane thinking. We need to wake up or we will die from within. 😢
I Absolutely hate how Al Reynolds interjects with "We don't have enough time for this" or "Go on to the next thing Claudia" or "We need to go to an ad break" with a condescending giggle and smirk every single time Armon expresses an opinion he completely disagrees with. Al, allow your co-hosts to express themselves fully without interrupting as none of them ever interrupt you when you talk yo shit.
yeah and then he takes time to ask these long drawn out personal questions on the matter that doesnt rlly add to the conversation and takes time up until commercial break
That's why Armon is fine as hell. He's a Gay Man "Man" being the operative word. No wigs lipstick and shadow he let his gorgeous look speak for itself ❤
I am with Armon on the Amanda Seales topic, I dont necessarily want to buy Jordans but I much rather spend on my home or my kids. I personally have little desire to travel. Claudia to each its own on that one. We all have different joys and that doesnt make those people "less responsible or put together."
I personally don’t like Amanda Seales’s attitude. I saw her in person when she came to my school to speak and my soul didn’t take to her. It gave mean girl who was overcompensating for her bad attitude by doing activism. I pray that she’s not that though.
her personality doesn’t appeal to me either, Angela Rye and Tiffany Cross both do similar work , but most people find them likable . So it’s Amanda’s personality that’s the problem .
The producers let them do that whole college basketball segment with no fact checking. Her NIL deals can transfer to the WNBA those companies still exist and will still endorse her. Additionally, Catlyn Clark is also going to the WNBA so there is no three peat and she only had 48hrs after her last college game to declare
I'm starting to like Armon more and more.. first thing he don't back down but when he said you will never catch me in wigs and makeup.. even though he is gay..he gives still a masculine energy.. because as a straight man is not painting there nails period and it's refreshing for a gay man to speak up❤
And he's up front with who he is and don't bs and take his answers that's why he straight out answered that Gay intimacy question head on and powerful without beating around the bush(no pun intended)😂 Al could barely answer it and once he saw how good Armon's commentary was on it he troed to move in the light saying, "Armon we finally agreed on something" No Al you didn't. Armon kept it real. You coattailed😂
1. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. 2. Nail polish was made for men, just to be clear. Primarily for intimidation in battle, which today is crazy.
@@Reefy1993 actually a lot of men watch tgif me personally I watch 4 Claudia I use 2 watch the Price i$ Right & Let’s make a deal because she was on those shows.
@@joncf3938 doesn’t disregard the fact this show was created to give black women and black LGBT a space to use their voice (which Claudia has said multiple times before). So are you really a fan of her fans because you obviously haven’t been listening. Heterosexual men have PLENTY of spaces. So it’s asinine to come on here and get upset about a feminine man. Y’all are the most backward people. This is a prime example of creating a space and having it infiltrated by the very people who didn’t want you in their own spaces. So “actually” 🤓 you’re spewing nonsense and so is he. But I don’t expect anything less because the average IQ of the soulmates after Funky left has drastically declined. I only watch because I’m so use to it being in my routine at work. Otherwise I would’ve been left. Tea-GIF is sitting on an average of 2k viewers per live. Funky is getting 8k-10k viewers per live. I’m definitely not the only one who felt this way when he took more than half of the viewers with him. LET US HAVE OUR SPACES.
"Your show was built around a certain concept and then someone's introduced and the whole concept changed and now it's all about that person." -- Al when talking about Armon
As a black man, I haven’t dated white at all. Have no desire.. I just feel it’s a disaster waiting to happen… I would be reading too in between the lines and trying to find the subtle racism
Regarding the West Hollywood (WEHO) scene, Armon is 1,000% right. Black people in WEHO look down on other Black people like "What's That?" Then, be the same ones crying discrimination against Black when White gay aren't into them. I just laugh. 😂😂 The lighter the Black guy's skin is,the more they roll their eyes. I just go to WEHO to eat and leave. I ignore everybody. The gay scene period is just about having seggs with you. No, I'm good. No substance at all.
I 100% agree with Armon on the Amanda. Seales thing….stop trying to get him to change his opinion or tell him that he doesn’t understand what she’s saying.
I hear Claudia as it relates to Amanda but let’s NOT make it a light-skinned woman thing. It doesn’t matter your complexion, black people will hate on you regardless of your complexion and olace in life as a black outspoken person.
Yeah sis he starting to rub on me...but being honest this is like real life.. we be around a person and at first you don't really like them..but after while you get to know them and you find that person is cool
Great Show Today👌👌👌👌👌 Great mixture of flavourful opinions with Claudia, Al and Armon. I appreciate Al taking the time to gently explain his Reasonings to young Armon, and i appreciate Armon receiving the explanation.
Amanda Seales is confrontational and insulting in her delivery. Real activist aren't on social media whining about magazine articles rather creating new ways to battle the challenges we face.
I understand where Armon is coming from and I agree with what he was trying to convey. What he is speaking on is respectability politics. Black people shouldn't have to achieve a certain way of living and thinking to be considered black excellence and good people. There is so many ways to achieve a great life, it just doesn't look one way. because at the end of the day we are up against racial systems in place that only see us as black no matter how high you achieve. We seen it with Obama and countless others the examples of how the racial injustices and systems in place go against us no matter how high or low ur status.
Black men were treating me like shit, I’m in a beautiful marriage going on 17 years, I feel like I just met him yesterday, at the same time I feel like we’ve been together forever. We are friends, like each other, we are both free, give each other peace. So do you think I should have not dated a white men because you don’t like it?
I think it's only an issue if for example you made a channel talking about how trash Black Men are. Date who you want to, but just don't down your own was my interpretation of it.
A non-Black spouse equates to weakness. You have yet to address your childhood trauma. "Black men were treating me like shit...". As a result, you "Coincidently" ended up with a White male.
Exactly. Just increased potential customers by 50%. Strictly business for them. Don't give a damn about any impact on the culture. I don't like the trend either. 'm with Armon. Where does it end?
@@beachlover9705 Yes SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO GOALS AND ARE QUITE CONTENT WITH THE BASIC NECESSITIES IN LIFE! Look at the Amish and some different cultures of the world!
@@YAYATHEDONCHIC That is subjective! Some people arent even interested in the rat race of the credit system if you didnt know. Different people value different things, doesn’t make one better than the other. Some are just more vain than others.
Amanda did a Breakfast Club interview and for 45 minutes straight she shared numerous stories in which she was the victim and never did anything wrong. It was exhausting. She went on again and did the same thing. She’s just never wrong about anything! Two years in a row she tried to force her way into a party hosted by someone that she knew disliked her. She felt she should get in because she’s “Black in Hollywood” as if it were a government program and not a private party. Her entitlement was unbelievable in recounting the story. She’s just not generally likable and can’t accept it. And I’m so tired of people who double down on their ways, insist they don’t have to change but don’t get their desired results. Where is that getting you??!!!
Al .What are you talking about? You work for a high-profile, celebrity, or professional in this industry, and you spill their personal business. You are blacklisted in hollywood, and you should know better
Al and Claudia we have to remember. At 50 something your life is at another place. Far away from 20-30 something. I’m 63 and my life is different then my 24 years of traveling and living in different parts of the world. all over as a military spouse and I LOVED IT. Miss it. Now I’m glam mom granny 🤣 wishing she can still travel 🤣🤣🙏🏽🙏🏽. But my life is different. Keep living.
Black Media! Please uplift your skin folks! Stop taring them down. Plant a seed than water it with kindness. Watch it grow. It's about growth. Uplifting someone's self esteem. They will eventually flourish.
I think Amanda Seals would be more successful if she was more aware of her delivery. I used to love watching The Real. And I noticed that when she was on the panel she always gave me the feeling that she looked down on and thought she was better and smarter than the other panelist. As if she felt she was too good for that show. I could be wrong, but that’s the impression I got. And granted perhaps she is likely smarter, but a little humility goes a long way. People don’t like to be talked down to etc. She is very intelligent and passionate and has a lot to contribute as an advocate. And she would reach a lot more people if she became more aware of her delivery. But if she’s happy and fine with her delivery then good. But take Claudia - she is smart and strong in her opinions and advocacy. But she manages to reach a lot of people because she is likable and doesn’t look down on others.
Sometimes Armon is a little touched by subjects pertaining to the black community and people/activist to want us to do better as a whole ie travel instead of WASTING 300 FOR A MATERIAL ITEM. Get the experience and open your mind up to much more outside of a pair of shoes. The world is huge
Amanda is not Bi-racial. Both of her parents are Black! Amanda had an issue with not being invited to Black spaces. Even though they write about her and use her talents they don't include her that was her issue. At the end of the day, even if you dont like someone's delivery doesn't mean they're a terrible person, their just not your cup of tea. Her heart is in the right place when she's advocating for Black issues. She's not perfect, but nobody is. Ppl in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I applaud Claudia and Al for taking up for Amanda and seeing her perspective.
Can Al stop cutting Claudia off. Every time she starts to speak he interrupts her no matter if she is agreeing with him or not. It’s so DISRESPECTFUL AND ANNOYING!!!!
I feel bad for Amanda Seales You can hear she’s going through something or she really got her feelings hurt 😢 but Mr Al is right you can’t win with both sides
Age and experience is what Armon needed. He has learned to listen more and from time to time he will admit that he didn't know. Al and Claudia have lived in the world of old values. Armon shows you what today has become from mistaken of the past generations. Good fit after all. See growth.
Angel Reese has the right to feel the way she does. It happened with Venus and Serena as well . They ended up having to skip out on some tournaments due to death threats and racism .
Loving the show today, great convo❤❤❤ I am starting to warm up to Armon a bit, his personality is coming in nicely he is not as immature as I first thought 👌👏👍
I love Amanda, but I also agree with this. There are way too many stories/accounts of people's interactions with Amanda. There is a common denominator and it may be her.
Let Armon have his own opinion without belittling him. I only agree with 50% of what he says but his “other” opinions keep things interesting. Who want to hear 3ppl with the same exact opinion all the time.
I love this trio. Now that Armons here it’s like two brothers and a sister. Love when Al and Armon be going back and forth 😂😂😂. Armon knows how to get under Al’s skin and Claudia loves to see it low key haha I’m here for it ALL love these 3 together
What media is showing BM gloating about LSU losing to Iowa?? And who made it about her crying and not the victim narrative that came with the crying???
RE: family Matters, a similar thing happened with Dynasty when Alexis made her appearance in the court scene. It was meant to be a one off and she did so well that she became one of the stars. She was only not the highest paid in the soap because of the clause in John Forsythe's (Blake's) contract.

@@truthbtold8697 Oh I see you have some issues!! I’m speaking from MY perspective and experience, I can’t speak for ANY other BW you’ve dealt with or described. Sounds like you need some healing or a therapist. Who tf said BM are disposable? sounds like you’ve been dealing with the wrong women sir.. Don’t come at me with that IGNORANT ass BS!! You sound ridiculous asf!! You might need to go and make you an appointment with somebody, because you sound HURT, bitter and definitely ANGRY!!!
We have a woman who's fighting for black social issues, feminist causes, pro choice, pro woman, pro black man, pro education that are being torn apart by social media, and the uneducated. America is in a critical state, and Amanda is trying to reach the black community, which can be lackadaisical in efforts.
I appreciate and applaud Amanda for trying to shake awake THE/my people.
Missed the whole point armon was making. Just because Seales allegedly does all that, can't people disagree with some of her statements? The article that set her off pointed out some of the things that they disagree with. Her over the top response is what people criticize her about.
As someone who has been a Behavioral Health Therapist for 10 years, i cannot tell you how much it touched my heart that Armon shed light on mental health issues. i immediately felt a different emotion when you mentioned nobody was there to help her, and now the media is laughing at her and giving their opinions on top of that!😪👏🏾❤️
Yes. It's obvious that she was experiencing some type of mental health issue. Not funny at all.
Have to have compassion
I congratulated Armon on his new position on the show bc it’s a great thing for him. I also stated I didn’t really care for him. I must say he’s actually winning me over. He has a fresh outlook with a different way of thinking out of the box which I knew but didn’t think this was the place for him. I was wrong. Great job Armon!!!😊😊😊
I felt the same exact way I wasn't for armon at first but know I'm team armon 🎉
@@time2eleveate15 Exactly! This is why I’ve learned you shouldn’t prejudge anything too early. Yeah?
Thank you both for your honesty! I love Armon & pushed for him to be chosen. I think that he is doing great thus far!!
@@maofdeuce1 Yes he really is.
Exactly!
Armon nailed it with his take on Amanda Seals. He didn't misunderstand anything Al. He simply disagreed with your opinion. Being a so called advocate for the community doesn't give you the right to determine what everyone else should aspire to. Bottom line; there are too many people saying the same thing about Amanda. She is abrasive and comes across as a "know it all". If she;s not going to change, fine but she needs to understand, not everybody is going to like her.
That’s right,attitude goes a long way.
EXACTLY!
I love how Armon has found the balance of growling back at Al while maintaining his professionalism. This was a great show
Al swears Armond can’t comprehend 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how Armon was aware and felt bad that the poor lady on the plane was probably mentally ill and it’s sad how no one is there to protect her. Then he said but yeah she’d get on my nerves 😂
Kinda reminded me of how Funky would have commented ☺️
I’m liking Armon as the new panelist. He’s doing a fine job 😊
But I do miss Funky. He will always be considered an integral part of Tea Gif’s journey to me ❤️
100
Agreed
I’m well traveled but I also recognize that success is subjective. Not everyone has the same definition and everyone’s opinion is valid.
Same! I was thinking the exact same I’m well traveled but I can’t assume that about everyone else. Claudia and Al act as tho no one can disagree
I personally don’t have a desire to travel other countries right now…
😊😊😊😊😊
@@LilJessyeJBligei never will. Ppl die to get the freedom we have in USA. Never been interested.
We do have to come to an agreement about some things as a community. Jordan’s or anything of the sort over owning a home, getting your credit up, having a passport (just in case), is just insane thinking. We need to wake up or we will die from within. 😢
I Absolutely hate how Al Reynolds interjects with "We don't have enough time for this" or "Go on to the next thing Claudia" or "We need to go to an ad break" with a condescending giggle and smirk every single time Armon expresses an opinion he completely disagrees with. Al, allow your co-hosts to express themselves fully without interrupting as none of them ever interrupt you when you talk yo shit.
Yessss he’s DELUSIONAL AS HELL
Frfr 😮
He knows he's wrong and BS won't fly that's why. It makes him look small
yeah and then he takes time to ask these long drawn out personal questions on the matter that doesnt rlly add to the conversation and takes time up until commercial break
@@moonsauce480 Ayee I thought I was the only one. That’s why I call him “RAMBLING AL”
Kevin Hart's assistant could've written a 'fictional" character book and blast everything.🤫💰💰💰💰💰
That would've been smart actually
There's still time
That's why Armon is fine as hell. He's a Gay Man "Man" being the operative word. No wigs lipstick and shadow he let his gorgeous look speak for itself ❤
I know that's right 🎉
Yes yes and yes so sexy
I heard that
Yes indeed
I am with Armon on the Amanda Seales topic, I dont necessarily want to buy Jordans but I much rather spend on my home or my kids. I personally have little desire to travel. Claudia to each its own on that one. We all have different joys and that doesnt make those people "less responsible or put together."
That’s exactly right.
I personally don’t like Amanda Seales’s attitude. I saw her in person when she came to my school to speak and my soul didn’t take to her. It gave mean girl who was overcompensating for her bad attitude by doing activism. I pray that she’s not that though.
her personality doesn’t appeal to me either, Angela Rye and Tiffany Cross both do similar work , but most people find them likable . So it’s Amanda’s personality that’s the problem .
BINGO!...She is very talented and creative but she gets in her own way.
The producers let them do that whole college basketball segment with no fact checking. Her NIL deals can transfer to the WNBA those companies still exist and will still endorse her. Additionally, Catlyn Clark is also going to the WNBA so there is no three peat and she only had 48hrs after her last college game to declare
And I believe Angel is a senior. She 22.
This!! 🎯🎯
It's many times the producers have done that and that's NOT COOL
Yes! My 14 year old knew more facts, she kept yelling “she’s a senior”
She's (Angel Reese) is not a senior and Caitlyn Clark is a senior but is eligible to come back for another year because of COVID
I'm starting to like Armon more and more.. first thing he don't back down but when he said you will never catch me in wigs and makeup.. even though he is gay..he gives still a masculine energy.. because as a straight man is not painting there nails period and it's refreshing for a gay man to speak up❤
And he's up front with who he is and don't bs and take his answers that's why he straight out answered that Gay intimacy question head on and powerful without beating around the bush(no pun intended)😂 Al could barely answer it and once he saw how good Armon's commentary was on it he troed to move in the light saying, "Armon we finally agreed on something" No Al you didn't. Armon kept it real. You coattailed😂
@@poeticpoems1234 exactly ❤️
I know he gay but that masculinity..he made me feel like I can at least show him the kitty🤣🤣🤣
Armon polishes his nails though.....
He said he gets a manicure. Many men do hand maintenance. clear coat is not gel and colored nail polish.
I am a man, MEN and nail polish NO. Do you, but my personal belief. ABSOLUTELY NOT. LEAVE A FEW THINGS TO WOMEN.
Ohhhh brother who cares. Go touch grass
( and if you so manly why you watching TEA-gif? Shouldn’t you be watching sports or something?)
1. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
2. Nail polish was made for men, just to be clear. Primarily for intimidation in battle, which today is crazy.
@@Reefy1993 actually a lot of men watch tgif me personally I watch 4 Claudia I use 2 watch the Price i$ Right & Let’s make a deal because she was on those shows.
@@joncf3938 doesn’t disregard the fact this show was created to give black women and black LGBT a space to use their voice (which Claudia has said multiple times before). So are you really a fan of her fans because you obviously haven’t been listening. Heterosexual men have PLENTY of spaces. So it’s asinine to come on here and get upset about a feminine man.
Y’all are the most backward people. This is a prime example of creating a space and having it infiltrated by the very people who didn’t want you in their own spaces. So “actually” 🤓 you’re spewing nonsense and so is he.
But I don’t expect anything less because the average IQ of the soulmates after Funky left has drastically declined. I only watch because I’m so use to it being in my routine at work. Otherwise I would’ve been left.
Tea-GIF is sitting on an average of 2k viewers per live. Funky is getting 8k-10k viewers per live. I’m definitely not the only one who felt this way when he took more than half of the viewers with him.
LET US HAVE OUR SPACES.
"Leave a few things to women" be careful with what you wish
Al is bang on about the Kevin Hart issue. Nothing is really private anymore. Suit won't go anywhere
"Your show was built around a certain concept and then someone's introduced and the whole concept changed and now it's all about that person." -- Al when talking about Armon
I love Armon!!! That’s why you got the job. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Love the way he carries himself.
I know, right🎉
As a black man, I haven’t dated white at all. Have no desire.. I just feel it’s a disaster waiting to happen… I would be reading too in between the lines and trying to find the subtle racism
Me either and never wanted to.
Don't do it, White women will destroy you once they get mad.
‼
This is why I could never date a white man....cause even if he's not racist, somebody in his family is and I don't got time to deal with that. Pass.
Regarding the West Hollywood (WEHO) scene, Armon is 1,000% right. Black people in WEHO look down on other Black people like "What's That?" Then, be the same ones crying discrimination against Black when White gay aren't into them. I just laugh. 😂😂 The lighter the Black guy's skin is,the more they roll their eyes. I just go to WEHO to eat and leave. I ignore everybody. The gay scene period is just about having seggs with you. No, I'm good. No substance at all.
Claudia! You broke it down 💯 referring to the young lady basketball player.
I 100% agree with Armon on the Amanda. Seales thing….stop trying to get him to change his opinion or tell him that he doesn’t understand what she’s saying.
Yeah I didn't like that. They were trying to son him. It's like they have him up there to ridicule.
The jokes on them. I agree with his view point on that!
Two things can be true at the same time. She can advocate for blk ppl and she can be a bitch. They are not exclusive of each other.
Al, please remember that Claudia is Diana Ross, and the two of you are the Supremes.
Whoa!!! lol😩😂 not Armon!!
🤯, 😂😂😂😂💯
I loved The Supremes! I loved the whole package. No one is better than anyone else. Putting people on pedestals can cause dissension. SMH!
@Vortex2654 not checking someone can cause problems
@@jillymcneal5085 So can arrogance!
Amanda Seals! I understand her frustration. But never let them see you exhausted. Because you're giving your power to the messenger.
I hear Claudia as it relates to Amanda but let’s NOT make it a light-skinned woman thing. It doesn’t matter your complexion, black people will hate on you regardless of your complexion and olace in life as a black outspoken person.
OMG I am agreeing with Armon 😮 I am concerned for myself 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Me too😊
Yeah sis he starting to rub on me...but being honest this is like real life.. we be around a person and at first you don't really like them..but after while you get to know them and you find that person is cool
@Tiffany-de1hr I like and follow his channel. Have for years. I disagree in the comments over there. But, today is me agreeing 🤣😳
Claudia, you look radiant. The pink, soft looks is gorgeous 😍
That's part of hubris, not being able to hear opinions about yourself
Ah you all done found a black gay Candice owens😂😂😂😂
I agree with Armon on the Amanda Seals. I also hear Al but Armon is not missing the point here I think Al and Claudia missed his point.
Armon’s energy is great with you Claudia and Al 🙌🏼🙌🏼.
I support Amanda Seales bc she’s dedicated her work for the mental liberation of black people, more specifically ADOS!
Great Show Today👌👌👌👌👌
Great mixture of flavourful opinions with Claudia, Al and Armon.
I appreciate Al taking the time to gently explain his Reasonings to young Armon, and i appreciate Armon receiving the explanation.
Amanda Seales is confrontational and insulting in her delivery. Real activist aren't on social media whining about magazine articles rather creating new ways to battle the challenges we face.
BINGO,YOUR RIGHT.
Claudia you’ve done a good job. This new guy Armon brings so much energy to this show. Al has senior energy and I love it..
I understand where Armon is coming from and I agree with what he was trying to convey. What he is speaking on is respectability politics. Black people shouldn't have to achieve a certain way of living and thinking to be considered black excellence and good people. There is so many ways to achieve a great life, it just doesn't look one way. because at the end of the day we are up against racial systems in place that only see us as black no matter how high you achieve. We seen it with Obama and countless others the examples of how the racial injustices and systems in place go against us no matter how high or low ur status.
Basketball players painting their nails is nothing new. Dennis Rodman has been painting his nails for 30 years.
Black men were treating me like shit, I’m in a beautiful marriage going on 17 years, I feel like I just met him yesterday, at the same time I feel like we’ve been together forever. We are friends, like each other, we are both free, give each other peace. So do you think I should have not dated a white men because you don’t like it?
I think it's only an issue if for example you made a channel talking about how trash Black Men are. Date who you want to, but just don't down your own was my interpretation of it.
A non-Black spouse equates to weakness. You have yet to address your childhood trauma. "Black men were treating me like shit...". As a result, you "Coincidently" ended up with a White male.
Was that “men wearing nail polish” segment/diatribe a Funky diss track? 🧐 🫣
Love Armon on the show!
At first I wasn't sure but I do like him on the show. He is very cool.
I hate the way Claudia & Al try to little boy Armon which I love how he stands 10 toes each and every time 💯
Exactlyyyy the ONLY thing Claudia & Al are doing is making people feel more for Armon!
They underestimated him… and he proved them and everyone else that doubted him wrong …
@@Sponsorship4u2yep
Armon is wearing two earrings but he has an issue with men wearing nail polish🧐
If men want to wear nail polish, ok. I don’t think it’s attractive. As far a Sally Hanson, they are just trying to increase their customer base.
Exactly. Just increased potential customers by 50%. Strictly business for them. Don't give a damn about any impact on the culture. I don't like the trend either. 'm with Armon. Where does it end?
They told Al to clean up his attitude toward Armon. Thank god.

Thank you Armon for being a voice of reason. Not everyone desires the same thing, not everyone wants to travel, etc.
Wanting Jordans over wanting a better credit score or experiencing different from your regular day to day is WHACK
Yes some people have no goals.🙊
@@beachlover9705 Yes SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO GOALS AND ARE QUITE CONTENT WITH THE BASIC NECESSITIES IN LIFE! Look at the Amish and some different cultures of the world!
@@YAYATHEDONCHIC That is subjective! Some people arent even interested in the rat race of the credit system if you didnt know. Different people value different things, doesn’t make one better than the other. Some are just more vain than others.
@@Intentionaltia having a decent score saved me when I didn’t have cash readily available. It’s valuable to have a decent credit score
Amanda did a Breakfast Club interview and for 45 minutes straight she shared numerous stories in which she was the victim and never did anything wrong. It was exhausting. She went on again and did the same thing. She’s just never wrong about anything!
Two years in a row she tried to force her way into a party hosted by someone that she knew disliked her. She felt she should get in because she’s “Black in Hollywood” as if it were a government program and not a private party. Her entitlement was unbelievable in recounting the story. She’s just not generally likable and can’t accept it. And I’m so tired of people who double down on their ways, insist they don’t have to change but don’t get their desired results. Where is that getting you??!!!
I agree with you on that.She’s unbearable and she will never be at fault for anything.
Al .What are you talking about? You work for a high-profile, celebrity, or professional in this industry, and you spill their personal business. You are blacklisted in hollywood, and you should know better
These commercials are sick and depressing, beastiality and traffic stop mind loss. Please something new.

This was a good episode yall! I really enjoyed it. I was cleaning and havent a good ol time.
At one point, women werent permitted to wear pants now fashion has evolved. Let people wear what they want if they're not hurting anyone.
Al, it's "athlete" not "athelete." You say it like that every show and it drives me crazy.
I’m sure Jaleel White was feeling himself. He turned a one show deal into the spotlight star. They had toys of him. He was everywhere.
Al is three sheets to the wind!😂😂😂😂. Or he ate an edible.
Al and Claudia we have to remember. At 50 something your life is at another place. Far away from 20-30 something. I’m 63 and my life is different then my 24 years of traveling and living in different parts of the world. all over as a military spouse and I LOVED IT. Miss it. Now I’m glam mom granny 🤣 wishing she can still travel 🤣🤣🙏🏽🙏🏽. But my life is different.
Keep living.
Exactly 💯 Meet people where they are.
Thank you for sharing!

Black Media! Please uplift your skin folks! Stop taring them down. Plant a seed than water it with kindness. Watch it grow. It's about growth. Uplifting someone's self esteem. They will eventually flourish.
I think Amanda Seals would be more successful if she was more aware of her delivery. I used to love watching The Real. And I noticed that when she was on the panel she always gave me the feeling that she looked down on and thought she was better and smarter than the other panelist. As if she felt she was too good for that show. I could be wrong, but that’s the impression I got. And granted perhaps she is likely smarter, but a little humility goes a long way. People don’t like to be talked down to etc. She is very intelligent and passionate and has a lot to contribute as an advocate. And she would reach a lot more people if she became more aware of her delivery. But if she’s happy and fine with her delivery then good. But take Claudia - she is smart and strong in her opinions and advocacy. But she manages to reach a lot of people because she is likable and doesn’t look down on others.
She’s the reason why I quit watching the real.Her attitude is what it is,she’s got a bad attitude.
Sometimes Armon is a little touched by subjects pertaining to the black community and people/activist to want us to do better as a whole ie travel instead of WASTING 300 FOR A MATERIAL ITEM. Get the experience and open your mind up to much more outside of a pair of shoes. The world is huge
Amanda is not Bi-racial. Both of her parents are Black! Amanda had an issue with not being invited to Black spaces. Even though they write about her and use her talents they don't include her that was her issue. At the end of the day, even if you dont like someone's delivery doesn't mean they're a terrible person, their just not your cup of tea. Her heart is in the right place when she's advocating for Black issues. She's not perfect, but nobody is. Ppl in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I applaud Claudia and Al for taking up for Amanda and seeing her perspective.
AL NEEDS TO TAKE A BREAK…GTOH
I love Armon! He is so REAL and honest! Thank you for not backing down! 💥
Love , love , love this show.
Can Al stop cutting Claudia off. Every time she starts to speak he interrupts her no matter if she is agreeing with him or not. It’s so DISRESPECTFUL AND ANNOYING!!!!
it's every episode at this point and you can tell he does it on purpose
The part I seen this time I feel he’s doing much better than before
I feel bad for Amanda Seales You can hear she’s going through something or she really got her feelings hurt 😢 but Mr Al is right you can’t win with both sides
Age and experience is what Armon needed. He has learned to listen more and from time to time he will admit that he didn't know. Al and Claudia have lived in the world of old values. Armon shows you what today has become from mistaken of the past generations. Good fit after all. See growth.

RE: family Matters, a similar thing happened with Dynasty when Alexis made her appearance in the court scene. It was meant to be a one off and she did so well that she became one of the stars. She was only not the highest paid in the soap because of the clause in John Forsythe's (Blake's) contract.
