FOLLOW ALONG AS WE COVER:  

(2:08) - In a recent live performance, singer and rapper Doja Cat issued a very particular warning to her white fans. Just to reiterate, she said “WATCH YOUR MOUTH IF YOU WHITE,” as the song went into the hook– “N-ggas ain’t shit, come up in your crib/ All up in your fridge, can’t pay rent.”

(7:30) – Voting & Venting: Let’s Go To The Phone Lines.

(12:56) - HERE ARE YOUR 60 SECOND HEADLINES!

STORY 1: Disney has partnered with Brittney Griner to produce several projects based on her yearlong Russia detainment, including a documentary by ESPN Films and a limited series with ABC.

STORY 2: The heads of the rival factions in Sudan, Burham and Hemedti are planning to meet to discuss ending the Sudan war.

STORY 3: Chris Rock and other top comedic talent decline offers to host the Golden Globes… At least four other A-list comedic actors. A representative for Rock declined to comment.

STORY 4: 50 Cent is taking aim at Diddy and his series of alleged sexual assaults by producing a documentary. His production company is reportedly planning to donate all proceeds from the documentary to rape and sexual assault victims.

(19:52) - Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley said that her country is owed $4.9 trillion in reparations for slavery.

(24:04) - We know Tik Tok is full of challenges. One caught our ears with the Gen Zers remixing Christmas carols. Let’s listen to one. I thought it might be fun to remix my own Christmas carol, but not just any ole one– Jingle Bells, WHICH, if you didn’t know… Was performed at Ordway Hall on Sept. 15, 1857, in blackface, during a minstrel show! James Lord Pierpont was the writer and composer who also wrote confederate anthems during the Civil War.

(27:31) - BIG UP - TO ADELE’S UNMITIGATED GALL & CONFIDENCE

In an interview she said– “With my music, and for whoever listens to it, I think I’m not the best singer in the world at all, but no one else can sing my songs like me because they didn’t write them. No one can sing my songs like me, period.”

“The lyrics are not their own, and I don’t think anyone else should sing my songs.”

“The Queen of Soul might be the one exception. Apart from Aretha Franklin,” Adele amended when asked about the late legend’s cover of “Rolling in the Deep.”

LET DOWN - Even robots are racist, y’all!!

Black-owned athleisure wear brand Actively Black took to social media to call out Meta’s Instagram for unnecessary ad-blocking.

The first ad celebrated Black women, the second was Actively Black’s impact report, the third was the brand’s Black First collection, the fourth was their collaboration with the All Power to the People Project, and the last was the collaboration with John Carlos.

(32:27) – And another thing!

(35:44) - And now it’s time for Watch Don’t Watch.  My special guest is… Desmond Thorne joins us to tell us what we should Watch and what should not waste our time watching.

(39:56) – The squad is here to tell you How Black We Feel Today!

(44:17) - IT’S TIME TO LISTEN, LEARN AND LAUGH… WITH THE WORD OF THE DAY… THE WORD OF THE DAY IS:

QUIXOTIC (kwik-SAH-tik) (Adjective)

Describes people and ideas that are foolishly impractical, especially as they pursue or relate to the pursuit of ideals.

A quixotic person is often known for lofty romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action.

It can also describe things that are predictable

(47:41)- POLITICIANS SAY THE SMARTEST THINGS

IT’S THE AMANDA SEALES SHOW, I’M AMANDA SEALES….

REP. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ  (AOC) SAID THIS ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN AND HIS ADMINISTRATION:

“The Biden Administration can no longer reconcile their professed concern for Palestinians  and human rights while also single-handedly vetoing the UN’s call for ceasefire and sidestepping the entire US Congress to unconditionally back the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza.”
