Please welcome Leticia to the show.
Hi, Leticia. Pronouncing it right. Right. Leticia.
Okay. Um, your son Shannon is head over heels in love with this woman right now. And it's not good news for you. Why is that?
Because first of all, she's white. Second of all, she's she's she's just not the one for him because of the fact there's so much racial tension going around these days. It's like I don't want my son to get hurt because of her. I fear that ain't it. Stop for his safety. Only reason why she's with him is because of the sex.
Because?
How YOU KNOW THAT? HOW YOU KNOW THAT she only winning because of sex? Yo, you be watching. See, see, it's already starting. Said that um that's all that white girls go with black men.
Wait, wait, wait. What' you say? That's all that white girls what go with black men for is the sex.
And uhoh. See, so now you you kind of see where these stereotypes come from, right? White women only like black men because they put it down in the bedroom.
She's not even allowed to eat off your plates. No, she's not because I have paper plates and cups that I keep in my house for my social guests and I feel that if need if she needs to drink or eat anything that she could use that.
That's now that's a lot. Look at that white dude. You doing a lot, lady. Come on, man. She can't even eat on your plates. Is that serious? Come on, man.
So, if she ate off one of your plates, what would you do?
I would throw them in the garbage. Um, is this because she's white or is this Do you treat everybody like this who comes?
No, I don't because this girl is trying to ingratiate herself in my family, which is my personal life. Okay. And I do not appreciate that.
It sounds like it's your son's personal life, though.
Well, it's mine because that's my son and I love him and I would
You see that? You There it is. Because that's my son and I love him. Son, husband. You see there it is.
Would not let her think for one minute that she would try to inter in integrate herself in in my relationship between him and I.
OH. OH, that didn't sound good. My relationship between him and I. Oh, no. Oh.
If it was another girl, a white girl, you would still have a problem?
Yes, I would.
You have a problem with interracial dating?
Yes, I do.
What are your views on it?
My views is that I feel black should stick with blacks. Okay. And the white the white men and women should stick to their own kind.
Do you consider yourself a racist?
No, I don't.
Lady, you just said a white woman CAN'T EAT OFF YOUR PLATES. YOU ARE RACIST. I don't know what you mean. God talk. Look at her face. All right. So, you're saying
The crowd even laughing?
Other than dating uh dating outside of the race or black people dating white people? You don't have a problem with white people or you don't have a problem with black people?
I don't have the white problem with them per se, but when they come to try to get into my family, that's when I have the problem.
I mean he could date her and they could have good time and let it be over with because right now my son is making a mistake.
He's making a mistake where is that I'm if I'm here as his mother and going to try to correct it.
Oh.
So but you're talking about just based upon race. We're not talking about what kind of person she is, how she treats herself.
I don't care to know the kind of person she is.
Okay. So let me get this right. You don't really know this girl cuz you haven't bothered to get to know her.
That's right.
She comes in your house, she's not allowed to touch anything.
Exactly.
You don't want her touching anything.
I don't want to eat off your plates.
No. And she surely can't use your hairbrush.
Exa. No way.
Whoa. You got some seriously strong view. But you don't consider yourself a racist.
No, I don't.
Even Queen Latifa is like, "But you don't consider yourself a racist." It's interesting.
How could you say you love your son? If you love your son, you will love whoever he's with. White, black, no matter. Look at that that that finger.
Love does not have no colors. You need to check yourself. Do you have children, young lady?
Helen.
I want to answer her. I want to answer her. Okay. Out of Nazis with your
Do you have children?
All right. Until you walk a mile in my shoes and do what I do for my children, you cannot tell me how to raise my children. Do you understand that?
You can't You can't You I think it's time we meet the person at the center of all of this. Shannon, her son. Shannon, come on.
Okay, now watch how the audience responds to Shannon. This is funny. And this is where another trope comes from. Here we go. OUT.
DENZEL WASHINGTON, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. DENZEL WASHINGTON. OKAY. You to have thought Denzel walk in the room the WAY THIS CROWD WENT CRAZY. LOOK AT ALL THE BLACK GIRLS LIKE, "YEAH, LET'S KEEP US." YOU WANT TO KEEP THEM? You see that? That's where it come from. I love it. So, you guys have heard this. When it's a it's a black man who black women deem valuable, then they like, "Okay, now I got a problem cuz you just stole one from us." So, they like, "Man, they like the brother." So, they like, "Hey, man. Now I'm mad. I'm kind of with the mom now because this dude, he got he got a together. He got it going on." That's what they think. So, they like, "Hey, man. She just stole one. We need to keep that one.

You in her presence. In her presence. So, how does that make you feel?
I mean, Corey's not the first white girl I dated. And it just been this whole this whole going through my period of my life, you know? She just been, "No, you can't do that." Or, "You can't you can't you can't." I'm like, "Mom, breathe."
Well, let me ask you, how do you feel about Corey?
I mean, I feel like she's the one for me, you know? I mean, she's she's the only person I see out of the eye with far as being a female, you know.
Let me ask you this. Does Does she make you happy?
Yeah. So, I mean, she's the only person that make me not want to be with another female. She's the only one that keep me like we we happy.
Makes you not want to cheat.
Yeah. That's the only only girl that I've been with.
He got a point. He has a point there. The master listen to what? Listen to mother right here. He has a point there. She been monitoring this dude.
Used to be all over the place.
See,
And I can't believe it. The part that really makes me upset is that this girl is actually keeping taking his time away from me and my little son.
There it is. This girl is taking away time from me and my son. This is absolutely nuts. This is nuts.
And I be out of I do not like that at all.
It sounds like that it's a little jealousy there, ma. Sounds like you got
Well, you call it jealousy. I call it my time with my son.
What you mean? WHAT? OH,
WAIT a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Where Where's your husband?

So, you're single right now?
Yes, I am.
How long you been single for?
It's been over 5 years.
Over five.
You've been SINGLE FOR FIVE. LADY, YOU NEED TO GET UP out there. WHAT YOU DOING?
HOLD UP. HOLD UP. NOW, SEE Y'ALL DON'T COME FROM THESE KINDS OF FAMILIES. QUEEN DO. WELL, NOT ALL Y'ALL. SOME OF Y'ALL DO. SO Y'ALL CAN SEE WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS.
Now, did you give him You're the oldest, right?
Yeah.
So, when your father or father figure, who whomever he was, got out of the picture, you sort of became the man of the house, didn't you?
Right.
And this was my baby who I loved to death where, I would always make sure that my father had the very
You have made him the man of the house and you got comfortable with him in that position. But
But that still doesn't stop you from speaking on what I have to say. Y see and Queen Lativa was trying to tell her I mean they wouldn't calling it son husband or whatever you made him son husband essency that's what she did she didn't got comfortable in that role of having been around he found a woman white woman and now she mad lady you got to cut the cord okay oh wait hold on uh as man out bomb said when ma when moms step in like this all they do is make these new dudes not want to f with black women at all. Hence those growing interracial marriages. It's it's it's a bad look. But uh you know the first time that I I heard the sun husband thing was when I started doing content creation and um I heard people talking about that and when I came across this video I was like I think this is a perfect example where it you know we can see how it actually looks in real life present day. So sad man. son is a 24 year old man who can make his own decision.
Y'ALL JUST FALL DOWN ON MY FACE. DAMN, MAN.
He could Why don't Don't you think you've done a good job with him?
Well, I think so. And I think he could do better. I think he could do better.
But that means you could do better then.
That's right.
That means you should have done better. But if you if you raised him with all that stuff that you that mothers give their sons and what you
But look at look at how he look at how he turned out. So, don't you trust that you will not wait? Don't you feel like you trust Don't you trust your mother and skills well enough to know that you raised him well enough to make his own decisions? Can't you trust him at this point to let his own life go his own way?
Yes, I can. But I'm still going to keep on what I have to do.
He don't get I'm still going to say what I got to say.
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU really don't have a case. You just And you don't think you're racist, but everything you saying is racist.
Yeah.
You don't even know this girl. You're judging her. She can't touch your plate. You can't sit on your couch.
Before she even come in the house one time,
didn't you? Didn't she catch y'all IN BED ONE TIME?
As soon as she came out. Get out. Get out.
Nah, she Hold on now. Now it's some foolery going on. Some tom foolery. What you mean she caught you in bed? Your mom didn't catch you. She was watching y'all and then she she she watched a little bit and she was like, "All right, now you got to get out." This a nasty ass woman right here, man. And what the hell? Well, he is 24. Maybe he's just finding his way. But what the hell you doing in your mom's house sneaking in, man, at 24? What you doing? What? What you getting into, man?
My house. I'm not trying to hear it. Okay. I'm not trying.
So, you threw this girl out of your house when you caught them in bed?
Yes, I did.
Has he brought other girls home before?
Yes, he has.
And you know what's been going on in that room? Did you throw them out?
DID YOU THROW THEM OUT? DID YOU THROW THEM OUT?
YOU ARE.
YES. SHE This lady nasty. She'll let She'll let him sneak in with a black woman in the house. But that white woman coming here, you got to get your ass out of here.
RACIST. YOU ARE A RACIST.
YOU'RE A RACIST NOW.
I KNOW MORE THAN ME. I GOT LOVE FOR EVERYBODY else who think I got love for everybody. I DON'T THINK YOU'RE RACIST. I THINK YOU KNOW HOW TO RAISE MY SON OR my children.
BUT YOU RAISED HIM ALREADY. HE'S GROWN. GROWN.
He's 6 years past the legal age of having to raise his person. The man is grown. He can make HIS OWN DECISION. WELL, I think it's time that we meet Shannon's girlfriend, Cory. YOU READY TO MEET THE PERSON WHO AFTER THE CENTER?
WELL, WE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK. WE'RE GOING TO MEET HIS girlfriend right after this. Her son Shannon are dealing with this whole situation right now. Leticia refuses to accept that Shannon is in love with his girlfriend Corey, who is white. Now, you caught them in bed and you at like 6:00 7 in the morning and threw them out the house.
Yes, I did.
This was not the first time your son had a girl in the room.
No, it's not.
But you never threw any of those other girls out. Why'd you throw this girl out?
Because I don't like her.
You don't even know her.
To get out.
But you don't know her, do you?
I told you I th I don't want to know her. I don't want to know. I want this to be a passure passing phase that my son is going through right now. And trust me, after next week or maybe a month later, she's gonna be out there. Wait a minute. What did you say? And I'm still gonna be here.
Hang on. Hang on. What did you say?
I'm still gonna be here.
You need to be on your trading places show.
That's right. I think we need to put you in the home. I think we need to PUT YOU IN A WHITE household for a couple weeks. Slap you with somebody else who feels the way you do and see what happens if you spend a little.
Yeah. Take a couple weeks off. My comment is, and I have a grown son, too, but the emotional and the mental abuse you cause your son by trying to control his life. You ought to consider what you're doing.
Like he's being controlled.
Yes, he does.
Yes, lady. She don't even get it. You Yes, you are. You are causing some trauma to this brother.
You rebelling, right? It don't sound like it. To me, it sound like my son can speak and think for himself. I think it's time we get her OUT HERE. CY, COME ON UP. YES, SHE IS.
Little rice spice. OKAY.
MAMA GOT REAL STIFF.
YOU GOT LOOK, LOOK. LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT HER FACE. Look at her face. Yo, she do not like it at all, man. This is absolutely nuts. My goodness. Lady, you got to get over this, man. Your son is grown.
You're being all nice just so your son can get into my daughter's pants. White guys don't want a relationship with black women. They just want a notch on their belt. You're a novelty to these people.
A novelty? We used to date before I met PETA. So what are white women to black men?
A very pleasant page in our memory books.
A right before I get cooked. Hold on. Here we go.
Now, Corey, you you go into his house. What What is it like for you to walk into his house and Lord
feel like you can't
I ain't allowed to touch nothing. I ain't really allowed to breathe. I feel like, you know, I'm in the house. She's telling us to get out, hurry up, get her stuff. She's not allowed to be in my house. I'm not allowed to be in the shower.
Look, she got the big hoop earrings and everything. Dressed like Nino Brown or something. But yeah, man. She got a little little flavor
because of the white hair. I mean, I have found her hair all over my bathroom floor already, which
her hair don't even come out like that.
I don't have blonde hair, okay? My hair is not long.
All right. I don't I don't appreciate cleaning up after after her.
I take I take good care of him, you know. I don't I don't treat him bad. I don't cheat on him. I don't know. I don't know what you do when you're not with him. She's always with me. When I go to my photo shoot to do a modeling shoot, she's there. When I go anywhere, she's there. She's right there.
I go to the bathroom and take a doodle, she's sitting right there.
HE SAID GO to the bathroom, take a doodle. He said he a model. So this dude may be on some escurl box or some like that. He may be one of the 90s dudes that was in commercials. You never know. So yeah. So I guess he he get some duckets. We may know this guy. I may have to do some research to see what he has done. So yeah, this is pretty cool. Mom, what are you what are you going to do if he does decide to marry this woman? Well, I know what I will not let her do as they decide to get married is to keep me away from my son.
Okay? I will not let her do that to me. I will I refuse to let her come in between the relationship between me and my son. First of all, what do you what do you is your son
got handcuffs on him? Is he chained to the ankle to this woman? He's choosing to do this. Your son is choosing to be with this woman, choosing to spend all this time with her. So, if anything, he's taking that time and saying, "I want to put this time here."
You can't say, "Come here, get away from your family." I mean, I'm I'm sure he she seems like he loves you enough to not do something stupid like that.
No, I'm not, man.
Well, then listen to somebody that's saying, "You don't need your mother. You don't need your little brother. Just come kick it with me."
I can't see her coming to my son's defense. If three of her white friends jump on him to try to kill him or hurt him,
SHE KILLED HIM. WHAT YOU
ALL RIGHT? SHE MAKE SO SHE'S trying to make it seem like she's fearful for his life. And do I want to shoot her some bail? I will shoot her some bail. You You should be concerned about that or whatever depending on the type of white person. Yeah. About their families. You definitely should be concerned. And that's for any black woman or black man that decides to date outside their race. Typically, it's nothing wrong with doing that. But yeah, I would have some concerns. I guess I would I but it seemed like she kind of making stuff up, you know, to try and justify her actions. This doesn't justify anything. But in that, right, a smidg just a smidg of concern. Not to say that it couldn't happen in the black family, some bad, but it is what it is. Just me being a black man, I would have some some slight concern. So, I'll shoot her a little bit of bail. Just a just a little just a smidge.
Hang on. What are you going to say?
Oh, look. Look how she grabbing. THAT WAS CRAZY.
SHE LIKE a child. Please. Please. I would never even put my man in a predicament where he would be harmed. I wouldn't be around friends that would even want to harm him. Those aren't real people. We don't know anybody there.
But, you know,
Yeah. And and just, you know, to give, I guess, some advice to the black men and women who date interraially, um, speaking from military experience, if you're going to have, you know, white people around you, white friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, or whatever, make sure they acknowledge that racism does exist. Because I think the worst type of white people to be around is the white folks that think that racism doesn't exist. because they may put you in situations because of that mindset that you, you know, put you in situations that you shouldn't be in. Okay? So, just keep that in mind. If you going to decide to jump the fence and date outside of your race, just make sure they understand that racism does exist. So, they won't put you in situations that could be harmful to you as a black man or a black woman. Like if you traveling, you know, cross country or you driving somewhere and she's like, "Oh yeah, let's stop in this town and you know it may be one of these sundown towns. You don't know, oh man, all that racism stuff. It ain't really serious like that." No. Make sure that they protect you. Even if it goes to the point where they got to say, hey, I know, you know, we need to stop for gas. And I'm using an example. We need to stop for gas here, but I've heard some crazy things about this town, so let me go in. you stay here because I don't want you to get into no trouble. Okay? So, just keep that in mind. And I I get it. I would prefer to see black men and black black women together. But that's, you know, I mean, it's just not going to happen based off of how the dating climate is, especially in the black community. Black men's marriage rates going up. Black women's are declining. I see what's happening. So, I know that that's not feasible for me to see all black men and black women get together, but just keep these certain things in mind. All right? They have to make sure they acknowledge that racism exists. Okay? Let's continue. Well, you can't stop that. Anyway, I mean, there's another thing. I mean, you you worrying about what could happen with those two going out together, some racist jumping on them. You ever heard of black-on-black crime? YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S
WHY SHE bring that up. OKAY,
I'M MORE SO worried about the white boy jumping on my SON BECAUSE THEY NEVER WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE. BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL, THEY DON'T FIGHT FAIR. THEY WANT TO USE BATS and guns AND THEN THEY WANT TO KILL HIM. THEY DON'T WANT TO JUST BEAT HIM OR HURT HIM. THEY WANT TO KILL HIM.
She She exagger over exaggerating.
Understand? And I'm not I'm not going to let my son if he going to die. Don't let him die after because of something somebody like her.
No, it's not her. It's the ignorance of racism.
She loves him. He loves her. They're not killing each other. IT'S SOMEBODY ELSE THAT'S GOING TO DO IT.
NO, IT'S not her friends. Why would she get her? Why would she have her friends beat up a boyfriend? That doesn't make sense. She wouldn't have them do it from getting jumped and all that kind of stuff. Why don't you join some nonviolent uh group? Why don't you go do some protesting for the Klux Klan? Why don't you stop racism? I'm not a violent person. I'm not a violent person. I don't I don't go out and say something about the problem itself instead of worrying about her cup. You're you're actually worried about this is my problem. THIS IS
BUT YOU ARE THE PROBLEM, TOO. When you think like that, you're just as racist. YOU'RE JUDGING HER based purely on her race. You do not know this woman at all. And everything you said is I don't WANT TO. EXACTLY.
What makes you any better than the GUY IN THE WHITE RO?
You know, the more that I watch this, I'm kind of looking at the son. He's he's starting to come off as a little bit weak to me. He's allowing his mom to do this. He should have been put his foot down and be like, "Hey, mom. Look, you overstepping your boundaries. I like this woman. You need to chill out." That conversation needs to be had. But the more he sits there doing like this and just letting his mom cook and this my son, your ass should have stood up and be like, "Look, mom, this is what it is." But I think the problem is that he ain't got a place of his own to stay. He's still staying with his mom. So, he trying to keep sweet. He's trying to make sure I don't say nothing crazy to where mom gonna kick me out of this nice cushy place while I'm doing these modeling gigs and I get to pocket my my money. But yeah, he's starting to look kind of suspect to me, man. You got to speak up. That's your mom's. You supposed to put your foot down and get out of her get out of her house. You shouldn't be sneaking in in her house anyway. Like get your ass out of there if you making money. Get out of there cuz now you kind of stuck. You can't say because you know first thing your mom's gonna say is get out the house. Okay. So now I'm starting to look at him a little bit crazy. You you you wild mentioning a black person.
I'm not saying that I'm better than anybody. All right. I'm just speaking up for mine. My mother always told me something. Mess with me, but don't mess with what belongs to me. And right now,
he doesn't belong. This my son belongs to me as well as the rest of my children.
You know what? You
She got more more kids. They probably looking at her crazy.
Couldn't control the day he was born. You cannot control the day he dies. This is something you don't control. That is the child you raise.
That's God's child you raised. But you the day I die.
So, LET ME ASK YOU THIS. ARE YOU A SLAVE MASTER?
OH, HELL.
WELL, THEN YOUR SON IS NOT PROPERTY. HE'S NOT PROPERTY THAT YOU CAN POSSESS AND SAY, "THIS IS MINE."
I mean, I understand you love him, but
it is your son, but your son
you hear you hear the key word my
This is my son.
And that's she ain't hearing nothing Queen Latifah got to say.
Her man.
YOUR SON IS HER MAN TO DO WITH HER.
HER MAN HAVE nothing to do with her. The mother, like she said before, that is her son and she has legitimate concerns. There's always that fear of when those two go out, there's going to be somebody from a hate group, a white hate group that's going to want to harm her son.
When we go out, when we go out, we go to predominantly black places. Wait a second. Wait a second. Okay, first of all, I'm the one who's getting hated on by black women, which is no offense to any black woman, but it's the truth. It is what happens.
Now, look here. She's not lying. And you know why I know she's not lying? Because if you remember in uh Jungle Fever, Queen Latifah actually played the part of the waitress when Wesley Snipes and his white girlfriend was out, you know, eating. You remember that? Who remembers Jungle Fever? She played that part. Well,
Excuse me, Miss or Miss.
Yes. May I take your order?
Is this your station?
Yes, this is my station. Do
you have a problem?
Yes, I do have a problem. fake tired brothers like you coming in here stringy hair ass up here to eat.
Miss Al Sharp, you don't have this. Not your business. Black and catfish.
Well, I suggest you find the manager.
YOU'RE FIRED.
YOU'RE TIRED.
She's white.
So, yeah. So, and that and that actually happens. And I think and and if we're honest, if the black community is honest, I think there's far more black women who have a problem with black men dating white women than there is black men who have a problem with black women dating white men. If we going to be completely honest, we can see it all on social media. And I know we try and make it a onetoone ratio. No, black men feel a certain way. No, black men don't have to, you know, cheerlead or try and make all these, you know, declarations to white women like, "Hey, we want y'all to date us. We need y'all to date us. Hey, we have the lowest divorce rates." Even though that is old as hell, black women still championing that. It's just like that woman that's going viral recently where she said black men are losing. She said black men are losing out on black women.
This is for my man today. Okay. But I wanted to come on. Okay, real quick. Because I don't think you guys are aware of how bad you're losing. And I just really don't think you guys understand. You understand? And you know who you're losing them to? White men. Yeah. White men. Mhm. Yeah. The white men are coming in and they are showing up.
But I think women like that who tell black women that, hey, these white men are snatching y'all up. and she'll grab a couple pictures off of social media. That puts black women who black women who think that white men actually like them like that in a bad position because now they're going out there trying to find any white men without doing proper vetting because they think that white men are, you know, are loving on black women like that. And it's not the case in the form of marriage. And I've already done multiple videos trying to explain to black women of the dangers that happens when you just get any old white guy and you don't do the proper betting. The only vetting that you did was that he's white because you want to join this swirl movement or this divest movement. See, I got me a white man. But you don't understand that. You know, and I know the narrative, well, black men do stuff to us, too. They delete us as well at the highest rates. Guess what? White men delete white women at the highest rates around the about the same uh rate as black men and black women and black women black men. So, but what we have seen is an influx and a spike in a lot of white men deleting black women. Typically, black women who go on social media and say that they don't like black men. They want a swirl. I need me a white man. You get with this white guy. You didn't do any background checking on him. All you saw was his white skin. you get with him, next thing you know, you chopped up somewhere and then it's your people look at your your Tik Tok or your Instagram and they like, "Damn, what she said, you know, that's what she wanted." And I keep keep saying seeing people say rest in preference. It's sad, but when you do like that, this is what happens. And it's very unfortunate. Hate to see black women go out like that, but you have to be mindful of women who pushing this narrative that y'all are losing that black men are losing out to white men. No, the the last report showed that 0.5% of married white men are married to black women. That was in 2015. I'll increase that to 1%. I'll increase it to 3%. Let's say it increased to 3%. Now, that's still the lowest rate in the United States. White men will sleep with you. Yes, they will sleep with you. They say it openly, but they will not commit to you. the majority of them won't. Read the Dating Divide book as I got it right here. Read it. Tell you everything that you need to know. Okay? So, I'm trying to help black women, but this is stupid. When you see older black women, yeah, you these white men, they snatching up all these black women. Look at this black woman with this soft life content. This white man taking care of her. You grab five or six pictures and it's like, yeah, that constitutes uh white men just fawning over black women. Y'all better smarten up.
I mean, they're looking at me like I'm crazy. Walking down the street, they look at me like I'm crazy. Like, what is she doing with him?
But that still goes back to what the mother says. Because you two are interracial. You're getting problems from both sides. And she doesn't want her son to be hurt. When you protest too strongly, that's the one they want. Oh, she doesn't want me to be with her. I'm going to show mom. I'm going to be with I'm going to be with her at home. But mom and that is that that's actually one of the for both black men and black women from that vintage study that black women also like to quote they always you know quote um it does say that some of the issues that those marriages have interracial marriages is because the social stigma, you know how they're accepted in their own communities because believe it or not, there are a lot of white folks that still don't like white people dating black people even though it's increased in regards to you know, people being okay with it. They're still out there. And the same thing with the black community. There's still a lot of black folks that don't like to see, particularly black men with white women. They don't like it at all. And it's something that the black community doesn't like to acknowledge. And again, they try and make it a onetoone, but it's not true. There have literally been whole shows, Madame Noir, uh, Revolt TV doing whole shows about black men and white women. You rarely see that. You rarely see a panel full of black men getting together and like, "Hey man, you know what about these black women dating these white men." It's so rare. You rarely see a group of black women and white men together. You see that all the time with black men and white women. All the time. That's why around this time it's always some conflict in the black community because you'll see uh a a Christmas party of some rappers or or some some athletes and all of their wives are in matching pajama suit and they white. We see that all the time. The the black community goes in an uproar every time this comes out. Okay, we know the game. We ain't stupid. Like a spiring.
