00:00:00,148 --> 00:00:02,001
(Mary Jane) Previously
on Being Mary Jane...
2
00:00:01,917 --> 00:00:03,241
I had a really great
time tonight.
3
00:00:03,184 --> 00:00:04,840
Now I'm looking forward
to the next time.
4
00:00:04,767 --> 00:00:06,507
Well, then I'll try to
step it up the next time.
5
00:00:06,429 --> 00:00:07,989
- Good night.
- Hi, Daddy.
6
00:00:07,913 --> 00:00:09,819
- Where's--where's your mom?
- She went out.
7
00:00:09,737 --> 00:00:10,870
(Patrick) I'm over
here at Tracy's.
8
00:00:10,823 --> 00:00:12,766
I knock on the door to find
D'Asia all by herself.
9
00:00:12,670 --> 00:00:14,363
I want to get her to school,
but my car won't start,
10
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,591
so if I could please
use your car,
11
00:00:15,527 --> 00:00:17,436
- I'd greatly appreciate it.
- Sure. No problem.
12
00:00:17,342 --> 00:00:20,061
I've given up too much of what I
want in the Talk Back segment,
13
00:00:19,926 --> 00:00:22,192
but I finally figured out what
direction I want to take the show.
14
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:25,836
Kara says you want to make
Talk Back Talk Black.
15
00:00:25,663 --> 00:00:28,569
Yeah, all black everything.
16
00:00:28,765 --> 00:00:30,130
(Mary Jane) According to the U.S.
Department
17
00:00:30,071 --> 00:00:31,561
of Health and Human Services,
18
00:00:31,496 --> 00:00:33,444
human trafficking is
the second-largest
19
00:00:33,355 --> 00:00:35,138
criminal industry
in the world today,
20
00:00:35,058 --> 00:00:37,505
only behind drug trafficking.
21
00:00:37,392 --> 00:00:40,424
300,000 people are trafficked
annually in the U.S.
22
00:00:40,281 --> 00:00:43,021
These numbers and these
facts are staggering.
23
00:00:42,893 --> 00:00:45,008
Here to shed light on
those dark statistics
24
00:00:44,911 --> 00:00:47,402
is my guest, founder
of Bridget's Dream,
25
00:00:47,287 --> 00:00:48,734
an organization committed
26
00:00:48,671 --> 00:00:51,287
to helping trafficking
victims become survivors
27
00:00:51,165 --> 00:00:52,780
and learn to dream again.
28
00:00:52,708 --> 00:00:54,115
Leah Albright-Byrd,
welcome to the show.
29
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:55,668
Thank you for having me.
30
00:00:55,597 --> 00:00:58,295
As horrible as that
300,000 number is,
31
00:00:58,169 --> 00:01:00,368
the truth is, the majority of
them are women and children.
32
00:01:00,267 --> 00:01:02,257
- Is that correct?
- Yes. That's correct.
33
00:01:02,166 --> 00:01:04,740
In fact, the average age
of entry in our country
34
00:01:04,621 --> 00:01:06,152
is 12 to 14.
35
00:01:06,084 --> 00:01:08,491
I think many Americans
believe that sex trafficking
36
00:01:08,380 --> 00:01:11,078
is something that happens to
women in other countries,
37
00:01:10,952 --> 00:01:12,734
but the enslavement and
rape of young girls
38
00:01:12,654 --> 00:01:15,435
is happening right here,
in our land of the free.
39
00:01:15,305 --> 00:01:17,004
Yes, that's absolutely true,
40
00:01:16,928 --> 00:01:19,501
and as long as we continue
to think that it's a problem
41
00:01:19,381 --> 00:01:23,121
that's only impacting those
from other parts of the world,
42
00:01:22,943 --> 00:01:27,308
we overlook that 75% of the
victims in our country
43
00:01:27,098 --> 00:01:30,046
are American citizens,
and of that 75%,
44
00:01:29,908 --> 00:01:32,523
88% are minorities.
45
00:01:32,401 --> 00:01:33,725
(Mary Jane) And there
are people like you
46
00:01:33,668 --> 00:01:35,241
and Jada Pinkett Smith
47
00:01:35,171 --> 00:01:37,953
who are screaming at the top of
their lungs about this issue
48
00:01:37,823 --> 00:01:41,062
and how it affects American
children, especially our girls.
49
00:01:40,909 --> 00:01:43,442
In fact, you were an
advocate for the passing
50
00:01:43,324 --> 00:01:44,855
of Prop 35 in California,
51
00:01:44,788 --> 00:01:47,653
groundbreaking legislation
that helps protect victims.
52
00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:49,051
Please, explain the impact
53
00:01:48,983 --> 00:01:51,223
that the new law will have
on the state of California.
54
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,276
Sure.
55
00:01:52,228 --> 00:01:54,094
So now that Prop
35 has passed,
56
00:01:54,009 --> 00:01:56,331
it will ensure
that prison terms
57
00:01:56,224 --> 00:01:58,173
for human traffickers
are increased.
58
00:01:58,085 --> 00:01:59,908
It also requires
those who've been
59
00:01:59,826 --> 00:02:02,983
convicted of human trafficking
to register as sex offenders,
60
00:02:02,834 --> 00:02:06,491
and lastly, it mandates
law enforcement training
61
00:02:06,317 --> 00:02:08,973
for every law enforcement
officer throughout the state
62
00:02:08,849 --> 00:02:11,339
with a goal and an objective
63
00:02:11,223 --> 00:02:13,463
of making sure that
those officers are able
64
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,600
to better identify victims
65
00:02:14,548 --> 00:02:17,038
and not treat children
as criminals.
66
00:02:16,922 --> 00:02:18,079
(Mary Jane) I know
your organization,
67
00:02:18,031 --> 00:02:19,937
Bridget's Dream,
which you founded,
68
00:02:19,850 --> 00:02:21,840
is an organization
that provides support
69
00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:23,657
for survivors of trafficking.
70
00:02:23,571 --> 00:02:25,020
But was it a personal mission?
71
00:02:24,956 --> 00:02:27,196
Yes, it was definitely
a personal mission.
72
00:02:27,093 --> 00:02:29,250
I am a survivor myself.
73
00:02:29,152 --> 00:02:32,725
So my exploitation happened
between the ages of 14 and 18,
74
00:02:32,555 --> 00:02:34,420
after I ran away from home,
75
00:02:34,336 --> 00:02:37,075
and there are so many
kids that are vulnerable.
76
00:02:36,947 --> 00:02:40,688
There's about 2.8 million
runaway American youth a year,
77
00:02:40,509 --> 00:02:43,790
and so during my exploitation
78
00:02:43,635 --> 00:02:45,583
and while I was on the
streets, I met a young lady.
79
00:02:45,495 --> 00:02:46,944
Her name was Bridget Gray,
80
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,495
and unfortunately,
81
00:02:48,424 --> 00:02:51,039
she did not get out the
way that I was able to.
82
00:02:50,917 --> 00:02:53,490
And so while I was in
my recovery process,
83
00:02:53,370 --> 00:02:54,694
she was murdered,
84
00:02:54,637 --> 00:02:57,627
and she then became the
inspiration for the work
85
00:02:57,487 --> 00:02:59,060
that we now do.
86
00:02:58,990 --> 00:03:01,022
(Mary Jane) I mean, I've
heard stories of parents
87
00:03:00,930 --> 00:03:02,628
selling their own children--
88
00:03:02,552 --> 00:03:06,000
that our foster care system
actually feeds this nightmare.
89
00:03:05,836 --> 00:03:07,993
How do we help our
young girls and boys
90
00:03:07,894 --> 00:03:09,843
avoid being trafficked
altogether?
91
00:03:09,755 --> 00:03:10,995
Well, the main thing
is education.
92
00:03:10,942 --> 00:03:12,765
So we have to educate
them, for one,
93
00:03:12,683 --> 00:03:13,964
about their vulnerabilities.
94
00:03:13,909 --> 00:03:16,274
It's our job to
protect our children,
95
00:03:16,165 --> 00:03:17,780
and we have to make
sure that they know
96
00:03:17,709 --> 00:03:19,199
some of the risk factors
97
00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:21,623
and they know the tactics and
the recruitment strategies
98
00:03:21,508 --> 00:03:23,040
that traffickers use.
99
00:03:22,972 --> 00:03:25,628
Lastly, it's also really
important that we educate them
100
00:03:25,504 --> 00:03:27,703
about internet safety.
101
00:03:27,602 --> 00:03:30,175
I think social media
is a phenomenal tool
102
00:03:30,056 --> 00:03:31,546
that we have as a society,
103
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,178
but it's also a tool that
traffickers are using
104
00:03:34,052 --> 00:03:36,001
to recruit children.
105
00:03:35,913 --> 00:03:38,153
Well, now, what specifically
are some of the tactics?
106
00:03:38,050 --> 00:03:40,082
Well, it's not uncommon
with social media
107
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:42,938
to equate your
social media success
108
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:44,998
with the number of friends
or followers that you have,
109
00:03:44,897 --> 00:03:46,803
and so a lot of times,
kids are just accepting
110
00:03:46,717 --> 00:03:49,290
friend requests from people
that they do not know.
111
00:03:49,170 --> 00:03:52,327
They don't know that this is a
person who's targeting them,
112
00:03:52,178 --> 00:03:54,710
and so pimps take
advantage of that.
113
00:03:54,593 --> 00:03:55,874
Traffickers take
advantage of that.
114
00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:58,435
They create profiles and
request these kids,
115
00:03:58,313 --> 00:03:59,927
and then recruit
them that way.
116
00:03:59,855 --> 00:04:02,887
Leah Albright-Byrd, thank you
so much for being here today.
117
00:04:02,745 --> 00:04:04,526
Thank you so much
for having me.
118
00:04:04,446 --> 00:04:05,478
Whoo!
119
00:04:05,435 --> 00:04:06,717
- Congratulations.
- Whoo!
120
00:04:06,662 --> 00:04:08,235
I know we're all news people,
121
00:04:08,166 --> 00:04:10,239
and telling good stories is
what we're supposed to do,
122
00:04:10,144 --> 00:04:12,635
and that should be
reward enough, but--
123
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,051
(Mary Jane) Oh, Lance--
124
00:04:13,983 --> 00:04:15,723
SNC has not been
nominated for an Emmy
125
00:04:15,646 --> 00:04:18,011
for outstanding
breaking news coverage
126
00:04:17,901 --> 00:04:19,724
in three freaking
years, and we did that!
127
00:04:19,642 --> 00:04:22,424
[cheers]
128
00:04:22,294 --> 00:04:24,284
- Yes!
- And we're gonna win too!
129
00:04:24,194 --> 00:04:26,768
To Hurricane Kenny
and Team Talk Back.
130
00:04:26,648 --> 00:04:29,221
- Yeah!
- Rock it, baby.
131
00:04:29,101 --> 00:04:31,550
[cheering]
132
00:04:31,437 --> 00:04:34,385
[indistinct conversations]
133
00:04:35,750 --> 00:04:37,282
Hey.
134
00:04:37,214 --> 00:04:38,703
Hey.
135
00:04:41,765 --> 00:04:43,755
What?
136
00:04:43,664 --> 00:04:46,321
Ratings for your sex
trafficking piece.
137
00:04:50,115 --> 00:04:51,147
That was a good show.
138
00:04:51,105 --> 00:04:54,428
Yes, it was.
139
00:04:54,271 --> 00:04:57,844
You know, I think there was
an award show last night.
140
00:04:57,674 --> 00:04:59,831
We're on at 2:00.
141
00:04:59,732 --> 00:05:02,305
Just say it, Kara.
142
00:05:02,185 --> 00:05:05,342
I already did.
143
00:05:05,193 --> 00:05:06,808
Are you still gonna have time
to meet with the producers?
144
00:05:06,737 --> 00:05:08,935
- Yeah.
- Great.
145
00:05:08,834 --> 00:05:11,241
Then I will gather them and buzz
you when we're all together.
146
00:05:11,129 --> 00:05:13,453
- Will you stop?
- Stop what?
147
00:05:13,346 --> 00:05:14,752
Treating me like I'm
some kind of diva.
148
00:05:14,691 --> 00:05:16,556
When have I ever made
the writers wait?
149
00:05:16,472 --> 00:05:17,754
When?
150
00:05:17,699 --> 00:05:18,897
We always do.
151
00:05:18,846 --> 00:05:20,711
No. No, no, no, Kara.
152
00:05:20,627 --> 00:05:21,867
I dip in and out,
153
00:05:21,814 --> 00:05:23,721
but there's a huge
difference between that
154
00:05:23,635 --> 00:05:24,500
and making you guys wait.
155
00:05:24,466 --> 00:05:25,831
Come on.
156
00:05:25,772 --> 00:05:28,053
Listen, there's no
larger plot here.
157
00:05:27,948 --> 00:05:30,980
I just need you to give
Talk Back some direction
158
00:05:30,837 --> 00:05:33,369
since you're completely
steering that ship now,
159
00:05:33,252 --> 00:05:36,200
and I want everyone to hear
directly from you what you want.
160
00:05:36,061 --> 00:05:37,426
This way, we get it right.
161
00:05:37,367 --> 00:05:39,815
- I will be there in five.
- Great.
162
00:05:39,702 --> 00:05:41,026
- Hey.
- Hi.
163
00:05:40,969 --> 00:05:42,625
Congrats on the nomination.
164
00:05:42,551 --> 00:05:44,124
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
165
00:05:44,055 --> 00:05:46,713
You two were gold together.
166
00:05:46,589 --> 00:05:47,828
Did you see the ratings?
167
00:05:47,775 --> 00:05:49,015
Oh, yes. I did.
168
00:05:48,962 --> 00:05:50,119
Kara made sure
that I saw them.
169
00:05:50,071 --> 00:05:54,103
So you know there's
work to be done.
170
00:05:53,910 --> 00:05:55,649
There was an award
show on last night.
171
00:05:55,571 --> 00:05:57,979
Okay.
172
00:05:57,867 --> 00:06:00,273
Ad sales are concerned
that your stories
173
00:06:00,162 --> 00:06:02,235
are only appealing to the
smaller advertisers.
174
00:06:02,140 --> 00:06:04,422
Is that the code word
we're using now?
175
00:06:04,317 --> 00:06:05,890
Excuse me? What?
176
00:06:05,821 --> 00:06:07,645
I've only been at this new
direction one week, Greg.
177
00:06:07,563 --> 00:06:08,886
And we don't want
to wait a month
178
00:06:08,829 --> 00:06:11,319
before we realize
that we're drowning.
179
00:06:11,203 --> 00:06:14,402
Do we?
180
00:06:14,251 --> 00:06:16,573
Who do you have lined up?
181
00:06:16,466 --> 00:06:18,248
(Kara) Well, we lost
Ameena Matthews.
182
00:06:18,168 --> 00:06:19,158
She had to cancel.
183
00:06:19,118 --> 00:06:20,442
But we're waiting to see
184
00:06:20,385 --> 00:06:22,541
if we can slide Geoffrey
Canada into that slot,
185
00:06:22,442 --> 00:06:25,474
and we do have Ron Finley
confirmed for next week...

(woman)
I died a week ago
189
00:06:42,269 --> 00:06:45,967
There's nothing left
190
00:06:45,791 --> 00:06:48,781
It's caught on video
191
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,173
192
00:06:50,106 --> 00:06:53,929
The very last breath
193
00:06:53,746 --> 00:06:55,277
The very last...
194
00:06:55,210 --> 00:06:57,367
(Mary Jane) How do we keep
pushing the envelope?
195
00:06:57,268 --> 00:06:59,633
What stories are
not being told?
196
00:06:59,524 --> 00:07:02,972
(Lance) What about a piece on
school shooting classifications?
197
00:07:02,808 --> 00:07:04,465
If a shooting is labeled
a gang shooting,
198
00:07:04,391 --> 00:07:05,714
it doesn't make the news,
199
00:07:05,658 --> 00:07:08,648
but if it's deemed
a school shooting,
200
00:07:08,507 --> 00:07:10,289
it becomes more of a priority.
201
00:07:10,209 --> 00:07:13,283
Most of this affects
poor neighborhoods.
202
00:07:13,138 --> 00:07:15,794
Didn't we just cover
a school shooting?
203
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:16,994
(Lance) But it's
another angle
204
00:07:16,937 --> 00:07:18,343
that calls out the hypocrisy.
205
00:07:18,282 --> 00:07:19,480
No.
206
00:07:19,429 --> 00:07:20,795
Actually, what you're doing
207
00:07:20,736 --> 00:07:22,850
is telling those parents to
get over it because now,
208
00:07:22,754 --> 00:07:24,370
there's another parent
with a dead kid now.
209
00:07:24,298 --> 00:07:26,454
I don't understand how you got
that from what I just said.
210
00:07:26,355 --> 00:07:28,179
Look, I like the
pitch, Lance,
211
00:07:28,097 --> 00:07:29,586
but I want to be
careful not to focus
212
00:07:29,521 --> 00:07:32,178
only on poverty and violence.
213
00:07:32,054 --> 00:07:33,711
Let's open it up, guys.
Let's open it up.
214
00:07:33,637 --> 00:07:36,502
Well, a new report on why autism
is linked to older mothers
215
00:07:36,368 --> 00:07:37,775
just came out,
216
00:07:37,714 --> 00:07:39,537
and Holly Robinson Peete's
fund-raiser for the cause
217
00:07:39,455 --> 00:07:40,487
is coming up.
218
00:07:40,444 --> 00:07:41,850
Maybe we could have her on.
219
00:07:41,789 --> 00:07:43,737
I'd be interested in
hearing her insights.
220
00:07:43,649 --> 00:07:46,515
So we're gonna have an actress
come on and talk about autism?
221
00:07:46,381 --> 00:07:48,037
An actress who's
made great strides
222
00:07:47,963 --> 00:07:49,287
in bringing attention
to the disease.
223
00:07:49,230 --> 00:07:51,011
(Kara) Oh, absolutely.
224
00:07:50,931 --> 00:07:52,963
I mean, I absolutely
agree with that,
225
00:07:52,871 --> 00:07:57,152
but how is an autism
fund-raiser newsworthy?
226
00:07:56,946 --> 00:07:58,645
Okay, has anyone figured
out a new angle
227
00:07:58,569 --> 00:08:01,517
to my ugly black woman story?
228
00:08:01,379 --> 00:08:03,369
Why don't you bring
on Satoshi Kanazawa
229
00:08:03,278 --> 00:08:04,893
and debate him
point for point?
230
00:08:04,822 --> 00:08:06,728
Absolutely not.
231
00:08:06,641 --> 00:08:09,590
No one even remembers that
Psychology Today article.
232
00:08:09,452 --> 00:08:10,525
I remember it.
233
00:08:10,481 --> 00:08:13,304
MJ, that's not only old news,
234
00:08:13,171 --> 00:08:14,787
it's dead news.
235
00:08:14,716 --> 00:08:15,997
Besides, what's
your entry point?
236
00:08:15,942 --> 00:08:18,015
What's new about
ugly black women?
237
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,161
Debating Satoshi would be
coming from a place of anger,
238
00:08:20,058 --> 00:08:21,922
which I don't want to do.
239
00:08:21,838 --> 00:08:24,204
But there's got to be another
way into this story.
240
00:08:24,095 --> 00:08:25,835
(Lance) What about
focusing on
241
00:08:25,757 --> 00:08:28,289
the perception of black beauty
from the black community?
242
00:08:28,171 --> 00:08:30,285
We could make it a
panel discussion.
243
00:08:30,189 --> 00:08:31,846
See where it goes,
like a check-up.
244
00:08:31,772 --> 00:08:33,554
Checking up on what, exactly?
245
00:08:33,474 --> 00:08:36,422
We could focus on how
mainstream magazines
246
00:08:36,283 --> 00:08:38,690
are lighting the skin tones of
the black women on their covers.
247
00:08:38,579 --> 00:08:41,777
Yeah. We--we already
did that story,
248
00:08:41,626 --> 00:08:43,657
Dorian, before you got
here, and you know why?
249
00:08:43,564 --> 00:08:45,347
Because it's old news.

where we're headed.

you meant, "Hey,
let's do something."

Niecy does.
354
00:12:56,288 --> 00:12:58,694
I decided to take Talk Back
in a whole new direction.
355
00:12:58,582 --> 00:12:59,906
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
356
00:12:59,849 --> 00:13:00,964
Your mother told
me about that.
357
00:13:00,918 --> 00:13:02,992
It's all black now.
That's good.
358
00:13:02,897 --> 00:13:03,887
Yeah, yeah.
359
00:13:03,847 --> 00:13:05,253
I'm branding myself,
360
00:13:05,192 --> 00:13:06,807
doing stories that I
actually care about.
361
00:13:06,735 --> 00:13:08,600
Great.
362
00:13:08,516 --> 00:13:11,673
So now, you can do your
job and help your people.
363
00:13:11,524 --> 00:13:12,847
Exactly, just how you fought
364
00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:14,155
for the skycaps to
keep their jobs.
365
00:13:14,096 --> 00:13:16,545
Exactly.
366
00:13:16,432 --> 00:13:18,546
Yeah, I was at the height
of my career then.
367
00:13:18,449 --> 00:13:19,606
You know, I was gonna--
368
00:13:19,557 --> 00:13:22,006
Pauletta, you gonna
wind up losing your job
369
00:13:21,893 --> 00:13:23,257
listening to your father.
370
00:13:23,198 --> 00:13:25,772
Woman, will you let me
tell the story, please?
371
00:13:25,652 --> 00:13:29,100
Now, he could play the
race card back then,
372
00:13:28,937 --> 00:13:31,885
'cause white people
had a lot of guilt,
373
00:13:31,746 --> 00:13:34,153
and they was scared
of Jesse Jackson.
374
00:13:34,042 --> 00:13:36,449
Hell, they over
him now and us.
375
00:13:36,337 --> 00:13:38,493
Saying the N-word
and everything--
376
00:13:38,395 --> 00:13:39,719
doing this to the president.
377
00:13:39,662 --> 00:13:42,194
Say what you might, but
I got their money.
378
00:13:42,076 --> 00:13:44,857
- Now, didn't I?
- Yeah. So--
379
00:13:44,727 --> 00:13:47,050
But I couldn't buy that fur
380
00:13:46,943 --> 00:13:50,016
because you was scared
of losing your job.
381
00:13:49,871 --> 00:13:52,654
Oh, my butt cheeks were a
little tight back then.
382
00:13:52,524 --> 00:13:54,138
Tighter than Dick's hatband.
383
00:13:54,066 --> 00:13:55,890
(Mary Jane) Okay, okay.
384
00:13:55,808 --> 00:13:57,756
- Yeah. On that note, guys--
- Mm-hmm. Dick's hatband.
385
00:13:57,668 --> 00:13:59,491
[laughter]
386
00:13:59,409 --> 00:14:00,941
When you start talking
about your butt cheeks,
387
00:14:00,873 --> 00:14:02,321
it's time for me to go.
388
00:14:02,258 --> 00:14:03,707
Uh-oh. All right.
389
00:14:03,644 --> 00:14:06,425
Pauletta, the struggle
continues, baby.
390
00:14:06,295 --> 00:14:08,952
You getting dementia.
Ain't you?
391
00:14:08,828 --> 00:14:11,568
Dementia? Listen to you.
392
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,347
I want two barrettes
in the front.
393
00:14:13,260 --> 00:14:15,167
Okay.
394
00:14:15,081 --> 00:14:18,154
[TV playing indistinctly]
395
00:14:21,650 --> 00:14:23,348
- Ow.
- Oh, sorry.
396
00:14:23,272 --> 00:14:24,846
Here, let me see.
397
00:14:24,777 --> 00:14:27,350
Oh, that's cute.
398
00:14:27,230 --> 00:14:28,262
Mm-hmm.
399
00:14:28,220 --> 00:14:29,793
[knocking on door]
400
00:14:31,266 --> 00:14:34,589
Hey, morning.
401
00:14:34,432 --> 00:14:35,630
Guess who brought breakfast.
402
00:14:35,579 --> 00:14:37,653
Hannah.
403
00:14:37,559 --> 00:14:39,674
Hi, honey.
404
00:14:39,577 --> 00:14:40,650
- Are you hungry?
- Yeah.
405
00:14:40,606 --> 00:14:42,930
- Oh, good. Here.
- Thank you.
406
00:14:42,823 --> 00:14:44,021
All right, go finish
getting ready for school.
407
00:14:43,970 --> 00:14:45,918
- Then we'll eat. All right?
- All right.
408
00:14:50,223 --> 00:14:52,670
Well, I finally
heard from Tracy.
409
00:14:52,557 --> 00:14:56,215
She's been arrested
for shoplifting.
410
00:14:56,041 --> 00:14:58,822
She's gonna be arraigned
tomorrow morning.
411
00:14:58,692 --> 00:15:00,599
How's D'Asia doing?
412
00:15:00,512 --> 00:15:03,669
She's asking questions, and
I don't want to lie to her.
413
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,009
I appreciate you coming by.
414
00:15:04,944 --> 00:15:06,309
- Thank you.
- It's no trouble.
415
00:15:06,250 --> 00:15:09,865
I--you know I don't
mind pitching in.
416
00:15:09,693 --> 00:15:12,975
It's just that, well,
417
00:15:12,820 --> 00:15:15,935
I'm running a little short
on rent this month.
418
00:15:15,788 --> 00:15:17,570
Let me cover breakfast.
419
00:15:17,490 --> 00:15:23,146
Tracy borrowed $200
from me for D'Asia.
420
00:15:22,871 --> 00:15:26,861
She said she'd pay
me back last week.
421
00:15:26,670 --> 00:15:29,494
You know, I love that
little girl so much.
422
00:15:29,362 --> 00:15:30,893
I wish I could repay
Tracy's debt,
423
00:15:30,826 --> 00:15:32,317
but I'm a little
tight right now.
424
00:15:32,251 --> 00:15:35,490
I'm really in a bind.
425
00:15:35,337 --> 00:15:38,911
Do you think that you could
ask your family or--
426
00:15:40,285 --> 00:15:42,275
Let me see what I have.
427
00:15:45,469 --> 00:15:47,293
All right.
428
00:15:47,211 --> 00:15:48,700
65.
429
00:15:48,634 --> 00:15:49,999
Thanks.
430
00:15:49,940 --> 00:15:51,513
I needed it.
431
00:15:51,444 --> 00:15:54,559
I'll get you the rest
by the end of the week.
432
00:15:54,412 --> 00:15:55,903
Thanks.
433
00:16:03,357 --> 00:16:06,347
[indistinct conversations]
434
00:16:10,678 --> 00:16:12,334
Never have anything healthy.
435
00:16:15,268 --> 00:16:16,883
Um... want one?
436
00:16:16,812 --> 00:16:19,010
No. I'm good. Thanks.
437
00:16:20,611 --> 00:16:23,101
Can you, umm...
438
00:16:22,985 --> 00:16:26,392
help me understand
what she's doing?
439
00:16:26,231 --> 00:16:28,971
I can't.
440
00:16:28,843 --> 00:16:30,250
I just--
441
00:16:30,188 --> 00:16:31,928
I just don't know
why black people
442
00:16:31,851 --> 00:16:35,423
get so sensitive
over this stuff.
443
00:16:35,253 --> 00:16:37,035
They have the president,
444
00:16:36,955 --> 00:16:41,821
NBA, Jay-Z, Beyonc?.
445
00:16:41,586 --> 00:16:42,825
Carnival Cruise and
American Express--
446
00:16:42,772 --> 00:16:45,637
they're all run
by black people.
447
00:16:45,503 --> 00:16:50,077
Mary Jane makes more
than both of us.
448
00:16:49,857 --> 00:16:53,722
Kara, what is she
upset about?
449
00:16:53,537 --> 00:16:58,652
Just... do the damn
job and shut up.
450
00:17:02,599 --> 00:17:04,381
All yours.
451
00:17:12,334 --> 00:17:14,199
I mean, is it too much?
452
00:17:14,115 --> 00:17:15,522
I mean, I love my people too,
453
00:17:15,461 --> 00:17:16,909
but not all the time.
454
00:17:16,846 --> 00:17:19,836
Even black folks get
sick of black folks.
455
00:17:19,695 --> 00:17:21,685
Then maybe that's why the
ratings are slipping.
456
00:17:21,595 --> 00:17:23,835
Because we're doing
good shows, right?
457
00:17:23,732 --> 00:17:25,472
Right.
458
00:17:42,688 --> 00:17:44,512
Okay.
459
00:17:56,382 --> 00:17:59,205
[engine turning over]
460
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,776
[sighs] Come on. Come on.
461
00:18:04,652 --> 00:18:07,767
Argh! God.
462
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:08,526
Sorry, girl.
463
00:18:08,490 --> 00:18:09,564
It's okay.
464
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,093
[groans]
465
00:18:11,024 --> 00:18:14,014
[light guitar music]
466
00:18:13,873 --> 00:18:16,946
467
00:18:16,801 --> 00:18:18,458
- Yep, Daddy.
- All right. All right.
468
00:18:18,384 --> 00:18:19,749
All right. All right.
469
00:18:19,690 --> 00:18:26,055
470
00:18:25,745 --> 00:18:27,318
[giggling]
471
00:18:27,249 --> 00:18:28,990
Hey.
472
00:18:28,912 --> 00:18:30,693
Up. Don't step on the crack.
473
00:18:30,613 --> 00:18:33,728
Whoa, whoa, whoa. [laughs]
474
00:18:33,581 --> 00:18:35,987
All right.
475
00:18:35,876 --> 00:18:39,908
476
00:18:39,715 --> 00:18:41,663
Come on. You ready? We're
almost gonna make it.
477
00:18:41,574 --> 00:18:49,481
478
00:18:49,094 --> 00:18:51,959
Okay. Give this
to your teacher.
479
00:18:51,824 --> 00:18:53,731
Is Mommy picking me up?
480
00:18:58,632 --> 00:19:00,247
No.
481
00:19:00,175 --> 00:19:01,540
Your grandpa's gonna
pick you up today.
482
00:19:01,481 --> 00:19:05,180
- Okay?
- Okay.
483
00:19:05,004 --> 00:19:07,035
Give your daddy a
big kiss good-bye.
484
00:19:06,942 --> 00:19:07,932
Muah.
485
00:19:07,892 --> 00:19:09,841
Oh!
486
00:19:09,753 --> 00:19:11,576
- Okay. Have a great day.
- Okay.
487
00:19:11,494 --> 00:19:12,442
- All right.
- See you later.
488
00:19:12,404 --> 00:19:14,769
See you, darling.
489
00:19:14,659 --> 00:19:17,399
Excuse me, Mr. Patterson?
490
00:19:17,271 --> 00:19:18,594
Vice Principal Harrison.
491
00:19:18,537 --> 00:19:20,028
I remember you.
492
00:19:19,963 --> 00:19:21,410
I wanted to talk to
you about D'Asia.
493
00:19:21,347 --> 00:19:23,754
I've noticed she's been
tardy a lot lately.
494
00:19:23,642 --> 00:19:25,716
Yeah, she's been
going back and forth
495
00:19:25,622 --> 00:19:27,028
between my place and her mom's,
496
00:19:26,967 --> 00:19:29,624
and I had a little car
trouble this morning.
497
00:19:29,500 --> 00:19:31,865
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
498
00:19:31,755 --> 00:19:34,495
I also wanted to talk
to you about her lunch.
499
00:19:34,367 --> 00:19:35,899
Since D'Asia hasn't
brought one in a while,
500
00:19:35,832 --> 00:19:37,738
the school's been
providing lunch for her,
501
00:19:37,652 --> 00:19:39,726
and there's been a daily
charge to her account.
502
00:19:39,631 --> 00:19:41,537
How long has this
been going on?
503
00:19:41,451 --> 00:19:42,817
Brenda, would you pull up
504
00:19:42,758 --> 00:19:43,706
D'Asia Patterson's
lunch account, please?
505
00:19:43,668 --> 00:19:44,825
(Brenda) Yes, ma'am.
506
00:19:46,794 --> 00:19:50,450
Looks like it's
been five months.
507
00:19:50,276 --> 00:19:51,266
Five months?
508
00:19:51,226 --> 00:19:52,674
If money is an issue,
509
00:19:52,611 --> 00:19:53,768
there are assistance
programs available.
510
00:19:53,719 --> 00:19:55,042
You'll just need
to fill out the--
511
00:19:54,985 --> 00:19:58,809
Thank you. No. I can
pay for my daughter.
512
00:19:58,627 --> 00:19:59,742
What's the balance?
513
00:19:59,695 --> 00:20:04,102
That would be $487.50.
514
00:20:03,891 --> 00:20:05,631
I don't have my
checkbook with me.
515
00:20:05,553 --> 00:20:06,959
You don't have to pay now,
516
00:20:06,898 --> 00:20:10,180
but you will need to
take care of it soon.
517
00:20:10,024 --> 00:20:11,680
Thanks.
518
00:20:17,601 --> 00:20:20,255
(woman on radio) Is that there's
a long history of institutions
519
00:20:20,131 --> 00:20:22,457
regulating the bodies of
African-American women,
520
00:20:22,342 --> 00:20:24,207
really standardizing them...
521
00:20:24,115 --> 00:20:27,105
[radio continues indistinctly]
522
00:20:30,325 --> 00:20:33,858
Or cornrows that
are unkempt...
523
00:20:33,690 --> 00:20:37,596
(woman on radio)
Not authorized.
524
00:20:37,410 --> 00:20:39,442
These kinds of restrictions
525
00:20:39,349 --> 00:20:42,089
are most assuredly race-based.
526
00:20:41,961 --> 00:20:44,992
The suggestion that
dreadlocks are merely--
527
00:20:44,849 --> 00:20:47,422
(man) Hey, hey.
528
00:20:47,302 --> 00:20:49,626
- I was waiting for that spot.
- No, sir.
529
00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:51,300
- You were on your phone.
- I was waiting.
530
00:20:51,220 --> 00:20:53,711
I've been circling this
damn lot for a half hour.
531
00:20:53,596 --> 00:20:55,711
- Sorry.
- Move your car.
532
00:20:55,614 --> 00:20:56,604
That was my spot.
533
00:20:56,564 --> 00:20:59,262
Yeah. The key word-- "was."
534
00:20:59,136 --> 00:21:00,460
Black bitch.
535
00:21:00,403 --> 00:21:01,517
Wait. What?
536
00:21:01,470 --> 00:21:03,336
I can't just be a
regular, old bitch?
537
00:21:03,252 --> 00:21:05,075
I have to be a black bitch?
Seriously?
538
00:21:04,993 --> 00:21:06,983
Yeah, 'cause you
look like a monkey--
539
00:21:06,893 --> 00:21:09,758
an ugly, black monkey!
540
00:21:10,656 --> 00:21:18,656
541
00:21:29,014 --> 00:21:37,004
542
00:21:48,446 --> 00:21:51,519
[line ringing]
543
00:21:53,393 --> 00:21:55,133
- Hello?
- Hey.
544
00:21:55,055 --> 00:21:56,379
(Valerie) I'm in your area
545
00:21:56,322 --> 00:21:58,145
and I wanted to
drop off something.
546
00:21:58,063 --> 00:22:00,345
- Sure.
- You sure it's okay?
547
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,021
(Mary Jane) Yeah. I'm
not doing anything.
548
00:22:01,941 --> 00:22:03,931
(Valerie) Okay.
I'll see you soon.
549
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,497
(Mary Jane) Cool.
550
00:22:06,373 --> 00:22:09,529
All right, it's just...
551
00:22:09,380 --> 00:22:10,662
A little, you know,
552
00:22:10,607 --> 00:22:13,139
something to celebrate
your nomination.
553
00:22:15,751 --> 00:22:17,242
Girl, did you re-gift me?
554
00:22:17,177 --> 00:22:18,250
[laughs]
555
00:22:18,206 --> 00:22:20,738
It's the thought that counts.
556
00:22:24,102 --> 00:22:25,175
(Mary Jane) I mean,
everything's great.
557
00:22:25,131 --> 00:22:28,455
You know? Work is... work.
558
00:22:28,297 --> 00:22:30,370
I'm handling it.
559
00:22:32,769 --> 00:22:34,510
How's Lisa? Have
you seen her?
560
00:22:34,432 --> 00:22:35,671
(Valerie) Yeah. I
have, actually.
561
00:22:35,618 --> 00:22:39,067
We've been doing
yoga together.
562
00:22:38,903 --> 00:22:40,060
Oh, good for her.
563
00:22:40,012 --> 00:22:42,293
That's good.
564
00:22:42,188 --> 00:22:45,219
You know, you can
reach out to her.
565
00:22:45,076 --> 00:22:47,609
Mm.
566
00:22:47,491 --> 00:22:48,855
What were you gonna say?
567
00:22:48,796 --> 00:22:49,869
Mm-mm, no.
568
00:22:49,825 --> 00:22:51,524
Mm-mm, 'cause this
is not gonna be
569
00:22:51,448 --> 00:22:53,355
some kind of therapy session.
570
00:22:53,269 --> 00:22:54,301
- No.
- No.
571
00:22:54,259 --> 00:22:55,623
It's not.
572
00:22:55,564 --> 00:22:57,180
'Cause, you know, I don't
need therapy, Val.
573
00:22:57,108 --> 00:22:58,347
Well, that's good, 'cause
I wasn't offering.
574
00:22:58,294 --> 00:23:00,451
Lisa--Lisa may. She
may need therapy.
575
00:23:00,353 --> 00:23:01,593
You know, I am not
576
00:23:01,540 --> 00:23:04,655
some door-to-door
psychiatric salesman.
577
00:23:04,508 --> 00:23:05,582
You were just--
you were right.
578
00:23:05,537 --> 00:23:07,026
I don't get to do a lot
579
00:23:06,961 --> 00:23:11,826
between being a mother
and a wife and working,
580
00:23:11,591 --> 00:23:13,123
and I felt bad that I
couldn't hang out with you
581
00:23:13,056 --> 00:23:14,504
the other night to celebrate,
582
00:23:14,441 --> 00:23:16,806
and you have really
been making an effort
583
00:23:16,696 --> 00:23:19,519
to reconnect.
584
00:23:19,387 --> 00:23:20,836
So you know, I was just--
I just thought that--
585
00:23:20,773 --> 00:23:23,805
Was I wrong for what
I said to Lisa?
586
00:23:23,662 --> 00:23:26,569
Uh, no. Um...
587
00:23:29,637 --> 00:23:33,752
Unless it wasn't how
you truly felt.
588
00:23:33,555 --> 00:23:36,171
I just don't understand
589
00:23:36,049 --> 00:23:39,288
why I have such issues
with everybody.
590
00:23:39,135 --> 00:23:43,001
So why do you think
you're at odds?
591
00:23:42,817 --> 00:23:46,431
It's funny, 'cause I
have all of these--
592
00:23:46,259 --> 00:23:49,124
these great relationships.
593
00:23:48,989 --> 00:23:53,104
But sometimes it scares me,
594
00:23:52,907 --> 00:23:57,397
because I don't feel
connected to any of them.
595
00:23:57,181 --> 00:23:58,379
It's like I'm going
through the motions
596
00:23:58,328 --> 00:23:59,861
of being a good auntie
597
00:23:59,794 --> 00:24:04,241
or sister or
daughter, friend.
598
00:24:04,027 --> 00:24:05,393
I mean, I show up everywhere
I'm supposed to show up.
599
00:24:05,334 --> 00:24:08,907
I look--
I look great on paper.
600
00:24:10,637 --> 00:24:13,460
I loan money, and I
check up on people.
601
00:24:13,328 --> 00:24:15,318
I send the birthday cards.
602
00:24:15,227 --> 00:24:19,425
I say all the things
I'm supposed to say.
603
00:24:19,224 --> 00:24:22,340
But yet,
604
00:24:22,193 --> 00:24:26,099
when everybody's doing
okay for the moment,
605
00:24:25,912 --> 00:24:29,944
my phone does not ring.
606
00:24:29,751 --> 00:24:31,449
Nobody's calling me
607
00:24:31,374 --> 00:24:34,531
just to check up
on me or say,
608
00:24:34,381 --> 00:24:37,579
"Hey, wow, great
show tonight.
609
00:24:37,428 --> 00:24:39,418
"The work that
you're doing is--
610
00:24:39,328 --> 00:24:44,151
it's really making a
difference, Mary Jane."
611
00:24:43,918 --> 00:24:45,825
Nobody.
612
00:24:45,739 --> 00:24:57,146
Nobody says, "Good
job," or, "Way to go."
613
00:24:56,583 --> 00:24:58,698
Not one person.
614
00:25:01,173 --> 00:25:03,664
[sighs]
615
00:25:03,549 --> 00:25:05,372
Let me get us some more wine.
616
00:25:08,060 --> 00:25:11,424
(Mary Jane) Thank you.
617
00:25:12,689 --> 00:25:20,689
618
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,080
[door opens]
619
00:25:24,562 --> 00:25:25,552
[door shuts]
620
00:25:25,511 --> 00:25:33,501
621
00:25:52,145 --> 00:25:55,093
[phone buzzing]
622
00:25:57,250 --> 00:25:59,031
Hello?
623
00:25:58,952 --> 00:26:00,401
(woman on phone) Inmate
calling from Polk County DOC.
624
00:26:00,337 --> 00:26:01,244
Will you accept the charges?
625
00:26:01,208 --> 00:26:03,323
Yeah. I accept.
626
00:26:03,226 --> 00:26:05,133
(Tracy) Patrick.
627
00:26:05,047 --> 00:26:06,287
Tracy, what were
you thinking?
628
00:26:06,234 --> 00:26:08,890
(Tracy) Please,
don't lecture me.
629
00:26:08,767 --> 00:26:11,049
How's my baby?
630
00:26:10,944 --> 00:26:15,392
- D'Asia's fine.
- Give her a kiss for me?
631
00:26:15,178 --> 00:26:16,376
[sighs]
632
00:26:16,325 --> 00:26:18,232
How much is your bail?
633
00:26:18,146 --> 00:26:20,844
(Tracy) $3,000.
634
00:26:20,718 --> 00:26:23,000
- $3,000?
- I took care of you.
635
00:26:22,895 --> 00:26:25,468
It's your turn to
take care of me.
636
00:26:25,348 --> 00:26:26,380
(woman) Curl. Come up.
637
00:26:26,338 --> 00:26:27,786
Twist to your right.
638
00:26:27,722 --> 00:26:29,754
Come back to center.
639
00:26:29,662 --> 00:26:30,944
You ready?
640
00:26:30,889 --> 00:26:32,796
One, two, three.
641
00:26:32,710 --> 00:26:34,241
Same side. Keep it going.
642
00:26:34,173 --> 00:26:38,663
Two--we're gonna do
15 to the same side.
643
00:26:38,447 --> 00:26:40,728
Yes. 12 more. Here we go.
644
00:26:40,623 --> 00:26:42,989
12--
645
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,536
Squeeze that stomach in
tight when you rotate.
646
00:26:45,412 --> 00:26:47,277
Yes.
647
00:26:47,193 --> 00:26:48,475
(Mary Jane) Patrick,
what's going on?
648
00:26:48,420 --> 00:26:51,118
Tracy's in county lockup.
649
00:26:50,992 --> 00:26:52,691
Bail's set at $3,000.
650
00:26:52,615 --> 00:26:53,772
(Mary Jane) What happened?
651
00:26:53,724 --> 00:26:55,255
Well, apparently, she
was shoplifting.
652
00:26:55,187 --> 00:26:57,760
It's a petty theft charge.
653
00:26:57,641 --> 00:26:59,507
Hmm.
654
00:27:04,368 --> 00:27:07,358
I wouldn't ask, but
655
00:27:07,217 --> 00:27:08,332
I'd rather borrow it from you
656
00:27:08,286 --> 00:27:11,735
than the bail bonds.
657
00:27:11,571 --> 00:27:12,977
She's D'Asia's mother,
658
00:27:12,916 --> 00:27:14,198
and she was there for me
659
00:27:14,143 --> 00:27:15,592
when I felt like I had
no one in my corner.
660
00:27:15,529 --> 00:27:16,477
You know?
661
00:27:16,439 --> 00:27:18,096
I'll give you the money.
662
00:27:21,663 --> 00:27:22,778
Thank you.
663
00:27:22,731 --> 00:27:23,898
(Mary Jane) It's no problem.
664
00:27:32,229 --> 00:27:34,386
I will pay you back.
665
00:27:34,287 --> 00:27:35,860
Don't worry about it.
666
00:27:35,791 --> 00:27:37,493
Look, I made it out for cash,
so you can just cash it.
667
00:27:37,409 --> 00:27:39,220
Okay?
668
00:27:39,137 --> 00:27:41,437
Okay.
669
00:27:43,627 --> 00:27:45,659
- Thank you.
- Just go. Go.
670
00:27:45,566 --> 00:27:47,264
Just call me later
671
00:27:47,188 --> 00:27:49,178
and let me know everything
worked out okay.
672
00:27:49,088 --> 00:27:52,370
I'll catch up with you a little later.
All right?
673
00:27:58,573 --> 00:28:00,878
You know, there's usually an
entry point for a discussion
674
00:28:00,765 --> 00:28:03,053
like the one I hope
to have today--
675
00:28:02,947 --> 00:28:05,155
a news item, a
documentary, a book,
676
00:28:05,046 --> 00:28:08,243
or a radical act that allows
us to take a deeper dive
677
00:28:08,092 --> 00:28:10,040
into a topic like
black women's beauty.
678
00:28:09,952 --> 00:28:11,692
I missed my window
on this subject
679
00:28:11,614 --> 00:28:14,020
when Psychology Today
published an article
680
00:28:13,909 --> 00:28:16,982
that brought into question
black women's beauty.
681
00:28:16,837 --> 00:28:18,827
They didn't say that
we were not beautiful.
682
00:28:18,736 --> 00:28:20,768
They said we were
straight-up ugly.
683
00:28:20,676 --> 00:28:22,167
They did.
684
00:28:22,102 --> 00:28:26,674
Psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa
actually tried to prove
685
00:28:26,453 --> 00:28:28,986
scientifically that we
were less attractive.
686
00:28:28,869 --> 00:28:30,817
See, I just knew
that this story
687
00:28:30,728 --> 00:28:32,092
was going to be all
over the news,
688
00:28:32,033 --> 00:28:35,482
but what happened next is
what astonished me more.
689
00:28:35,319 --> 00:28:36,601
The story came and went.
690
00:28:36,546 --> 00:28:38,244
I mean, sure, some
black women bloggers
691
00:28:38,168 --> 00:28:40,533
wrote eloquent, angry
essays, and me and you--
692
00:28:40,424 --> 00:28:41,914
we tweeted about
it, Michaela,
693
00:28:41,849 --> 00:28:43,089
but that was about it.
694
00:28:43,036 --> 00:28:44,442
The article was taken down,
695
00:28:44,381 --> 00:28:46,413
but no one rattled the
cages for black women
696
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,019
except black women.
697
00:28:47,943 --> 00:28:50,057
So maybe Satoshi
was an entry point
698
00:28:49,961 --> 00:28:51,993
to the deeper issues
I was looking for.
699
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:54,349
Uh-oh, Mary Jane, where
are you going with this?
700
00:28:54,236 --> 00:28:55,767
Hold on to your hats.
701
00:28:55,699 --> 00:28:56,897
(Mary Jane) I mean, forget
if we're ugly or not.
702
00:28:56,847 --> 00:28:58,296
Maybe it's worse.
703
00:28:58,232 --> 00:29:01,055
Maybe black women are
invisible to our own men,
704
00:29:00,923 --> 00:29:02,122
or even worse than that,
705
00:29:02,071 --> 00:29:04,769
black women are just not
worth fighting for.
706
00:29:04,643 --> 00:29:07,925
Mark, does an attack like this
do more damage to black women
707
00:29:07,770 --> 00:29:09,843
than the silence of black men?
708
00:29:09,749 --> 00:29:11,281
If we're going to be
honest, we've been dealing
709
00:29:11,213 --> 00:29:13,203
with 200 years of these
kinds of attacks, right.
710
00:29:13,113 --> 00:29:16,269
So this is not anything
new or unusual.
711
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,027
What I think is
really at the--
712
00:29:17,941 --> 00:29:20,764
what's really egging black women
on at this period in time
713
00:29:20,631 --> 00:29:22,205
is this feeling of betrayal--
714
00:29:22,136 --> 00:29:25,292
that black men did not close
ranks around them, right.
715
00:29:25,143 --> 00:29:28,341
That black male silence was
complicit in the attacks
716
00:29:28,190 --> 00:29:30,598
that came from this
particular magazine.
717
00:29:30,486 --> 00:29:32,017
Black women, historically,
718
00:29:31,950 --> 00:29:34,940
have always closed ranks
around black male issues.
719
00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:36,747
Black women should expect
the same kind of support
720
00:29:36,659 --> 00:29:37,941
from black men.
721
00:29:37,886 --> 00:29:40,126
India, your hits,
Video, and Brown Skin,
722
00:29:40,023 --> 00:29:41,513
and I Am Not My Hair--
723
00:29:41,448 --> 00:29:42,897
they were all new anthems
724
00:29:42,834 --> 00:29:45,490
that ushered in a new
millennium for black women.
725
00:29:45,366 --> 00:29:47,147
Does that movement
still exist?
726
00:29:47,067 --> 00:29:48,974
It's certainly not the
mainstream movement.
727
00:29:48,887 --> 00:29:50,127
We turn on television,
728
00:29:50,075 --> 00:29:51,815
and we know what the
mainstream movement is,
729
00:29:51,737 --> 00:29:53,311
and it's actually
the polar opposite
730
00:29:53,241 --> 00:29:55,356
of the socially
responsible message
731
00:29:55,260 --> 00:29:56,583
that we're talking about,
732
00:29:56,526 --> 00:29:58,682
that was so popular in
the early millennium.
733
00:29:58,583 --> 00:30:00,448
But...
734
00:30:00,364 --> 00:30:03,396
I meet children of
that legacy every day.
735
00:30:03,253 --> 00:30:06,118
I've been in the music
industry for 15 years,
736
00:30:05,984 --> 00:30:08,974
and just in the last 3
years, I meet grown women--
737
00:30:08,833 --> 00:30:10,823
25, 26, who say,
738
00:30:10,733 --> 00:30:11,765
"I grew up on your music,"
739
00:30:11,722 --> 00:30:14,004
and they do things
like, "My hair--"
740
00:30:13,899 --> 00:30:15,306
this is because of you."
741
00:30:15,245 --> 00:30:17,484
When you were
writing these hits
742
00:30:17,381 --> 00:30:20,621
that spoke so eloquently to
black women and our struggle,
743
00:30:20,468 --> 00:30:22,750
collectively, did
you feel beautiful?
744
00:30:22,645 --> 00:30:23,593
Did you feel empowered?
745
00:30:23,555 --> 00:30:25,921
Were you empowered?
746
00:30:25,811 --> 00:30:29,133
Or were they more like
mantras that you were--
747
00:30:28,976 --> 00:30:30,841
would hope to
sort of catch on,
748
00:30:30,757 --> 00:30:33,664
to hype women up to actually
believe that about ourselves?
749
00:30:33,527 --> 00:30:36,143
That is a multitiered
question for me,
750
00:30:36,022 --> 00:30:39,594
because I was so young.
I was in my early 20s,
751
00:30:39,424 --> 00:30:41,957
and I did--
I felt good about myself.
752
00:30:41,839 --> 00:30:43,578
I didn't think I was
perfect, obviously.
753
00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:46,616
I had my issues, but I
felt good about myself,
754
00:30:46,469 --> 00:30:49,958
but I started, just as I was
coming into the public eye--
755
00:30:49,793 --> 00:30:53,158
started seeing that other people
didn't think I was beautiful.
756
00:30:52,998 --> 00:30:55,738
And so I would say, "I'm this.
I'm not that."
757
00:30:55,610 --> 00:30:57,517
I'm not the average
girl from your video."
758
00:30:57,431 --> 00:30:58,462
Like, I would say-- right?
759
00:30:58,419 --> 00:30:59,493
Mm-hmm.
760
00:30:59,449 --> 00:31:01,481
At the core of those songs,
761
00:31:01,389 --> 00:31:04,045
it's really about self-worth,
762
00:31:03,921 --> 00:31:05,495
self-definition,
763
00:31:05,425 --> 00:31:06,831
and why would you
allow anyone else
764
00:31:06,770 --> 00:31:08,927
to be the authority on you?
765
00:31:08,828 --> 00:31:11,734
Now, you know, one could argue
that the horrific comments
766
00:31:11,598 --> 00:31:13,256
made in Psychology Today--
767
00:31:13,182 --> 00:31:15,047
comments that were
then co-signed
768
00:31:14,963 --> 00:31:17,327
by black men's silence--
could leave black women
769
00:31:17,218 --> 00:31:19,291
with a post-traumatic
stress disorder.
770
00:31:19,196 --> 00:31:20,729
Is that why it meant so much
771
00:31:20,662 --> 00:31:23,443
that Lupita Nyong'o
won the Oscar
772
00:31:23,312 --> 00:31:25,344
or graced the cover of People
Magazine's Most Beautiful issue
773
00:31:25,252 --> 00:31:26,783
or cover of Vogue,
774
00:31:26,716 --> 00:31:28,582
or that she's starring in
the highly-anticipated
775
00:31:28,497 --> 00:31:29,736
new Star Wars movie?
776
00:31:29,684 --> 00:31:31,133
Michaela, shed some
light on that.
777
00:31:31,069 --> 00:31:33,517
It's insane, this discussion
that we're having.
778
00:31:33,404 --> 00:31:35,352
When you think about
it-- look at us.
779
00:31:35,264 --> 00:31:36,754
Look at how beautiful we are.
780
00:31:36,688 --> 00:31:38,345
Look at all the
colors in your skin,
781
00:31:38,272 --> 00:31:39,429
and all the colors in your skin,
782
00:31:39,380 --> 00:31:42,244
and all the colors
in Lupita's skin.
783
00:31:42,110 --> 00:31:45,100
This is what makes
black girls magic--
784
00:31:44,959 --> 00:31:46,492
like, that all of us can say,
785
00:31:46,425 --> 00:31:49,206
"We are sisters with this
plethora of beauty."
786
00:31:49,075 --> 00:31:50,690
Our hair can change shape
787
00:31:50,619 --> 00:31:53,276
and sizes with a hot
comb and some water.
788
00:31:53,152 --> 00:31:54,808
It shape shifts, then.
789
00:31:54,734 --> 00:31:56,766
We can be all these things,
790
00:31:56,674 --> 00:31:58,122
but we've become--
791
00:31:58,059 --> 00:31:59,549
they've become battlegrounds.
Right?
792
00:31:59,483 --> 00:32:01,056
The things that make
us so beautiful--
793
00:32:00,987 --> 00:32:03,269
no other group of
women can say this--
794
00:32:03,164 --> 00:32:04,446
can say that you
and I are sisters,
795
00:32:04,391 --> 00:32:05,797
where our skin is different.
796
00:32:05,736 --> 00:32:07,143
Our hair is different,
but we're together.
797
00:32:07,082 --> 00:32:08,323
- Mm-hmm.
- But there's a--
798
00:32:08,270 --> 00:32:09,759
there's a whole
community of people
799
00:32:09,693 --> 00:32:11,600
trying to debunk our beauty.
800
00:32:11,514 --> 00:32:13,671
So there's a--
there's an insanity around it,
801
00:32:13,572 --> 00:32:15,728
and people like Lupita
and the First Lady
802
00:32:15,630 --> 00:32:17,495
start to be a salve
on this idea.
803
00:32:17,410 --> 00:32:18,817
But we have to--
804
00:32:18,756 --> 00:32:20,496
we have to say that we're magic.
805
00:32:20,418 --> 00:32:24,116
We have to say that our skin
is beautiful in all its hues
806
00:32:23,940 --> 00:32:25,680
and continue that conversation,
807
00:32:25,602 --> 00:32:27,926
because the other one
is relentless.
808
00:32:27,819 --> 00:32:30,017
And that's why the silence
from black men on this issue
809
00:32:29,916 --> 00:32:33,531
is complicit with the attacks
from Psychology Today.
810
00:32:33,359 --> 00:32:35,808
Too often, we've seen examples
of black women
811
00:32:35,695 --> 00:32:38,101
who go out on a limb
to not only support themselves,
812
00:32:37,990 --> 00:32:40,647
but also to nurture
and take care of the men
813
00:32:40,523 --> 00:32:42,054
and the boys
in their families.
814
00:32:41,986 --> 00:32:44,726
Very often, black men
will only go to the doctor
815
00:32:44,598 --> 00:32:46,047
to get a prostate exam
816
00:32:45,984 --> 00:32:48,598
because some woman more than
encouraged him to do that.
817
00:32:48,476 --> 00:32:51,383
We do not see that same kind
of encouragement
818
00:32:51,247 --> 00:32:54,071
amongst black men
for the lives of black women.
819
00:32:53,938 --> 00:32:56,469
Ask a black man,
"What is a fibroid?"
820
00:32:56,352 --> 00:32:58,634
We all--we all know
what prostate cancer is, right?
821
00:32:58,529 --> 00:32:59,935
Right. Yeah.
822
00:32:59,874 --> 00:33:02,407
And almost 80%
of all black women at some point
823
00:33:02,289 --> 00:33:05,903
suffer some--from some aspect
of fibroid disease.
824
00:33:05,731 --> 00:33:07,888
You'd be hard-pressed
to think of any disease
825
00:33:07,789 --> 00:33:11,196
that affected 80% of black men
that every black woman
826
00:33:11,035 --> 00:33:12,483
and girl in America wouldn't
know about.
827
00:33:12,419 --> 00:33:13,743
Say that.
828
00:33:13,686 --> 00:33:15,258
But our problem
is our problem,
829
00:33:15,189 --> 00:33:17,638
but your problems
are also our problems.
830
00:33:17,524 --> 00:33:19,431
We have to right the ship
on that.
831
00:33:19,345 --> 00:33:21,210
So what is beauty?
832
00:33:21,126 --> 00:33:23,491
Do we leave it up to the masses
to shape our imagery,
833
00:33:23,382 --> 00:33:25,414
or do we define it
for ourselves?
834
00:33:25,321 --> 00:33:26,977
Ultimately,
it comes down to having
835
00:33:26,904 --> 00:33:30,061
the self-worth and confidence
to stand in your own skin
836
00:33:29,912 --> 00:33:31,902
and fully embrace who you are.
837
00:33:31,811 --> 00:33:33,509
(Mary Jane on TV) I mean, how can
we expect others to see our worth
838
00:33:33,433 --> 00:33:35,548
when we continue
to dim our own light?
839
00:33:35,452 --> 00:33:37,900
The culture at large may not
see eye to eye on this topic,
840
00:33:37,786 --> 00:33:41,859
but having the discussion is
a part of the healing process.
841
00:33:41,664 --> 00:33:44,571
I'd like to thank my guests,
India Arie, Mark Anthony Neal,
842
00:33:44,435 --> 00:33:47,425
and Michaela Angela Davis
for joining us today.
843
00:33:47,284 --> 00:33:49,524
As Confucius once said,
844
00:33:49,421 --> 00:33:50,953
"Everything has beauty,
845
00:33:50,886 --> 00:33:52,668
but not everyone sees it."
846
00:33:52,588 --> 00:33:54,202
I'm Mary Jane Paul.
847
00:33:54,130 --> 00:33:56,579
Thank you for watching,
and I'll see you tomorrow.
848
00:33:58,682 --> 00:33:59,682
Come on. Hurry up.
849
00:34:03,298 --> 00:34:04,787
Did you get the money?
850
00:34:04,714 --> 00:34:06,163
(guard)
You've got 20 minutes.
851
00:34:11,298 --> 00:34:12,622
What's going on with you?
852
00:34:12,565 --> 00:34:14,305
Huh?
853
00:34:14,227 --> 00:34:17,217
You talking to Phil again?
854
00:34:17,076 --> 00:34:19,358
What?
855
00:34:19,253 --> 00:34:20,909
Who told you that?
856
00:34:25,624 --> 00:34:28,530
Once.
857
00:34:28,394 --> 00:34:31,468
I saw him once.
858
00:34:31,323 --> 00:34:32,688
(guard) Keep your hands
on the table, please.
859
00:34:32,629 --> 00:34:35,786
I messed up, but I'm done.
860
00:34:35,637 --> 00:34:39,335
I'll get help as soon
as I get out of here.
861
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:42,524
How's my baby?
862
00:34:42,364 --> 00:34:44,604
She's fine.
863
00:34:44,501 --> 00:34:45,657
Good.
864
00:34:45,609 --> 00:34:47,391
I knew she would be.
865
00:34:51,110 --> 00:34:53,183
So did you get the money?
866
00:34:57,877 --> 00:35:00,576
No.
867
00:35:00,450 --> 00:35:01,440
Not yet.
868
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,681
Patrick, I can't stay here.
869
00:35:05,475 --> 00:35:08,924
Can't you ask your sister?
870
00:35:08,761 --> 00:35:09,918
I mean, your mom hates me,
871
00:35:09,869 --> 00:35:13,817
but what about your dad?
872
00:35:13,628 --> 00:35:16,618
Don't worry.
I'm working on it.
873
00:35:19,603 --> 00:35:21,593
(guard)
Come on. Get up. Let's go.
874
00:35:24,907 --> 00:35:27,313
Mr. Patterson,
it's good to see you again.
875
00:35:27,202 --> 00:35:28,317
Yeah. You too.
876
00:35:28,270 --> 00:35:29,510
School's not out
for another ten minutes.
877
00:35:29,457 --> 00:35:30,531
Did you want us
to send for D'Asia?
878
00:35:30,487 --> 00:35:32,435
No, no. I'll wait.
879
00:35:32,347 --> 00:35:34,754
I actually wanted to pay off the
balance for D'Asia's lunches.
880
00:35:34,642 --> 00:35:37,965
Oh, great.
881
00:35:37,808 --> 00:35:39,507
Brenda, would you pull up
D'Asia's account
882
00:35:39,431 --> 00:35:40,379
for Mr. Patterson?
883
00:35:40,341 --> 00:35:42,705
Yes, ma'am.
884
00:35:42,596 --> 00:35:45,045
We don't usually
see you after school.
885
00:35:44,931 --> 00:35:46,880
Well, I work late,
but I took off today
886
00:35:46,792 --> 00:35:49,573
so I could come down
and straighten everything out.
887
00:35:49,443 --> 00:35:52,016
Yes, I am very familiar
with late hours.
888
00:35:51,896 --> 00:35:54,303
Yeah.
Thank God for grandparents, huh?
889
00:35:54,192 --> 00:35:55,265
Right. [laughs]
890
00:35:57,595 --> 00:35:59,127
Listen,
if you're ever in a bind,
891
00:35:59,060 --> 00:36:00,758
you can feel free to call me.
892
00:36:00,682 --> 00:36:02,756
I'm happy to help
any way I can.
893
00:36:02,661 --> 00:36:06,609
Oh, thank you.
894
00:36:06,420 --> 00:36:09,285
Appreciate that.
895
00:36:09,151 --> 00:36:11,516
(Smith on TV) I understand that
there are a lot of black women
896
00:36:11,407 --> 00:36:12,855
who felt that, you know,
897
00:36:12,792 --> 00:36:16,074
being brown or being dark
was a hindrance,
898
00:36:15,918 --> 00:36:20,158
and while I don't want to ever
discount their roles,
899
00:36:19,955 --> 00:36:24,237
I just want to say that that's
not every brown girl's story.
900
00:36:24,031 --> 00:36:26,979
There are some dark women,
like myself,
901
00:36:26,841 --> 00:36:29,289
who have always loved the skin
that they were in,
902
00:36:29,175 --> 00:36:30,791
and I think a lot more women
903
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:33,334
than what is portrayed in
the media actually do know that.
904
00:36:33,212 --> 00:36:35,036
[ringtone chiming]
905
00:36:34,954 --> 00:36:38,902
But you know, of course,
the sad story always gets more--
906
00:36:38,713 --> 00:36:40,953
- Well, hello there.
- Great show today.
907
00:36:40,850 --> 00:36:42,506
- Thank you.
- Powerful.
908
00:36:42,432 --> 00:36:45,256
I found myself complimenting
every black woman I saw today.
909
00:36:45,124 --> 00:36:46,406
That's a lot of compliments.
910
00:36:46,351 --> 00:36:47,841
I mean, this is Atlanta.
911
00:36:47,776 --> 00:36:49,766
That's why I'm so tired
and hungry.
912
00:36:49,676 --> 00:36:52,458
- Have you eaten?
- No.
913
00:36:52,327 --> 00:36:54,816
- Would you like to eat with me?
- Yes.
914
00:36:54,701 --> 00:36:56,358
I'm on my way.
915
00:36:56,284 --> 00:36:57,565
[phone beeps]
916
00:36:57,510 --> 00:37:00,542
[Janelle Mon?e's PrimeTime
playing]
917
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:08,400
918
00:37:08,354 --> 00:37:11,511
[Mary Jane laughing]
919
00:37:11,362 --> 00:37:13,977
No. I mean, it was crazy
that I did it.
920
00:37:13,855 --> 00:37:16,179
No, there's no current context
for me to tell that story.
921
00:37:16,072 --> 00:37:17,020
Well, you wanted to do it.
922
00:37:16,982 --> 00:37:18,388
That's relevant enough.
923
00:37:18,327 --> 00:37:21,776
Yeah, well, I took advantage
of my privilege.
924
00:37:21,612 --> 00:37:23,226
- Didn't it feel good?
- Oh, it felt so good.
925
00:37:23,155 --> 00:37:26,646
- Come on.
- So good.
926
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,512
Okay.
Where are we going again?
927
00:37:27,470 --> 00:37:30,585
You'll see.
928
00:37:30,438 --> 00:37:31,677
So the whole
meditation thing...
929
00:37:31,624 --> 00:37:32,614
Mm-hmm?
930
00:37:32,574 --> 00:37:34,564
Totally did not
work out for me.
931
00:37:34,473 --> 00:37:36,214
You got to keep at it.
932
00:37:36,136 --> 00:37:38,750
It's like practice.
933
00:37:38,629 --> 00:37:40,744
We're here.
934
00:37:40,647 --> 00:37:41,971
Really?
935
00:37:41,914 --> 00:37:43,112
A chicken shack?
936
00:37:43,061 --> 00:37:44,343
What?
937
00:37:44,288 --> 00:37:46,236
It's in honor of you
returning to your roots.
938
00:37:46,148 --> 00:37:48,013
Oh.
939
00:37:47,929 --> 00:37:50,336
And I figured a brother'd have
to be real black to date you.
940
00:37:50,225 --> 00:37:51,257
Oh, so black.
941
00:37:51,214 --> 00:37:53,204
Yeah.
942
00:37:53,114 --> 00:37:55,520
After you.
943
00:37:55,408 --> 00:37:57,232
(Mon?e)
For our love
944
00:37:57,150 --> 00:38:00,347
Ain't nobody thinking
about the stars above
945
00:38:00,196 --> 00:38:04,395
It's a prime time
for our love
946
00:38:04,194 --> 00:38:06,184
And heaven is betting on us
947
00:38:06,234 --> 00:38:10,784
