Shane Gillis’s joke gym shorts struck such a nerve with the feminist journalist class that now they’re pressing other SNL cast members to condemn it.
Watch this interviewer push Michael Che to take a stand over a joke. Insane!
The JBP played Doechii's new record "BOMBS."
Parks says the video is amazing, but he isn't sure he likes the song because of how fast the bop is, though he says she was saying some crazy stuff.
Joe says he doesn't know where he'd even listen to it, but he loves it. He loves that she's pushing boundaries and has the creative freedom to do it. He pointed out that at a time when the conversation is about female rappers dressing and sounding too raunchy, this is refreshing.
Ice says he liked it a lot because she's going crazy on it and he liked the flow. He added that never mind female rappers, plenty of rappers can't do what she did on this record.
Joe agreed. He says hearing rappers do that gets him in awe of their diction. It's a supreme ability that not many rappers have, and he said he couldn't do it himself. He says sometimes you just need a supreme display of talent, no matter what it does for the charts.
Joe also gave Doechii a shout-out and says he's not beefing with her anymore. He's over what she said about straight men.
I don’t think you have to be your partner’s physical type to a T, but making it BLATANTLY obvious that they are not your type on numerous occasions?…yeah that’s a lil weird 🥴
Actually, yeah lol. We literally call Black people “whitewashed” when they’re raised predominantly around white people. My point is I’m Black by race, American by nationality, Trinidadian by heritage AND was raised within Black American culture.
@TrentBishopShow Would it be the same if I said I grew up around a lot of white people so culturally I’m white American. 🤣🤣 I mean I guess it’s possible, but we would never say no shit like that.
I think you’re using “culture” and “customs” interchangeably. The customs in my household were Trinidadian. But my broader cultural environment growing up in Maryland was Black American. Culture isn’t only what your parents practice at home.
I literally asked twice what Black American customs were you raised in and you can’t answer. Growing up in Maryland, growing up on pop culture, music etc. is not growing up IN Black American culture. Our culture is deeper than pop culture.
That’s a fair question. No, I wasn’t speaking strictly about ethnicity or lineage. I meant the culture I was socialized in growing up in Maryland. My friends, schools, neighborhoods and community. My Trinidadian heritage shaped me too. Both can be true.
@TrentBishopShow “I’m also culturally Black American” …were you not speaking of ethnicity here?
If not and you truly meant Black (race) + American (nationality), please describe that culture to me.
But how can you definitively tell me what culture I was raised in without knowing anything about my upbringing besides my parents being Trinidadian? 😭 I grew up in Maryland. My parents weren’t the only people or community that shaped me.
I just asked you what Black American customs were u raised in? Our culture is not just pop culture which is what everyone claims they were raised in because it’s mainstream. Our culture is way deeper than that and yall were not raised in it.
Ma’am, I was born here 😭 Nobody is claiming I immigrated into anything. You define “Black American” strictly as an ethnicity. I’m using Black as my race and American as my nationality. THAT is the disagreement.
@TrentBishopShow Trinidadian-American, Haitian-American, Jamaican-American or
[Insert Country of Origin here]-American.
Black American is an ethnic group. You can’t immigrate into an ethnic group. Even If I move to Nigeria today, I’m never going to be Nigerian.
Y’all are defining “Black American” exclusively through ethnicity/lineage and acting like race, nationality and cultural upbringing are irrelevant. That’s literally where we disagree.
@TrentBishopShow There is also no way for you to be raised in Black American culture without having Black American parents like the fuck do y'all be saying.
That analogy only works if I was born in Trinidad and moved here. I was born in Maryland. You keep arguing against a scenario that doesn’t apply to me 😭
@TrentBishopShow Just like I can't go to Jamaican and be a damn Jamaican with two Black American parents id still be a Black American living in Jamaica which is not of my culture or lineage.
@TrentBishopShow You CANT become Black American by being near us no more than I can become Trinidadian by going to Trinidad. The only way to be Black American is to be born from Black American parents. There is no such thing as culturally Black American. That simply doesn’t exist.
I was born and raised within Black American culture. My parents shaped me, but so did my friends, schools, neighborhoods, music, language and experiences growing up in America. Culture isn’t only inherited from your parents.
We’re losing the plot arguing over who’s “Black American.”
Different Black ethnic groups have different histories. That doesn’t require division.
Rejecting a culture that raised, influenced and benefited you, then reducing it to its worst stereotypes? That deserves criticism.
It’s not important to me to be “defined” by it. I’m saying ancestry and culture aren’t the same thing. My parents being Trinidadian describes my ancestry. Being Black, born and raised in America around Black Americans shaped my culture. Both can be true.
@TrentBishopShow Enjoying the culture is being a part of it. But you are not Black American, so its cannot be your culture. Again I will ask, why is it so important to be defined by Black American culture when you are not a Black American?
