Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right. This is from mis anonymous on Steve Harve FM,
and you'll see why she wants to remain anonymous after this.
She says that recently posted a meme that I thought
was funny, only to find out later it had some
really messed up racist origins. I had no idea. I
thought it was just a silly little internet joke, but

(00:21):
as soon as someone pointed it out, I deleted it.
I got several dms from friends saying w TF, and
I was able to explain it to them that I
just had no clue about the memes meaning. But now
I'm wondering if I should make a public post explaining myself,
or will that just make things worse? Is silence the
better move? Or do I own my ignorance out loud?

(00:44):
And she did not say, what mean what racist meme?
It was? It's a white woman. I can tell it's
a white woman.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah you see, Karen, Yeah, it's a white lady and
her black friends, and then hit up with with WTF,
I get it. And now she's trying to figure out
how to how to just come just come out and say, look,
I had no idea, I'm sorry, I apologize. I let
it go. But yeah, your black friends can hit you
up for show.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah yes, yeah, yeah, just own it so we can
move on. But you know, a teaching moment.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Do you think she should post something? I think she's silent.
I don't think she shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Don't, don't, don't make it worse.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Ye, yeah, that's that's that's what she's saying. Yeah, should
she make a public post explaining herself?

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Will that just makes it worse? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Once black people send you a w TL, you need
to check yourself. You check yourself because you're right on
the edge. You're right on the.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Edge, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Moving on to Tracy on Seve Barb FM, Tracy says,
it's a small world. I recently got, you know, a
woman who was smart, funny and just genuinely fun to
be around. And it turns out she's also my boyfriend's ex.
They dated a few years ago, nothing dramatic or toxic.
They've clearly moved on. But the minute he found out

(02:07):
we've been hanging out, he started tripping. He says it
makes him uncomfortable and asked me to stop being friends
with her. The thing is, I really like her. I
don't understand. I don't feel threatened, and I know she's
not trying to start anything, So do I just have
to cut her off because of their past? She likes

(02:27):
the woman, so she wants to remain friends.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, but her man a little uncomfortable though, you know
what is that? What's more?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
What's more, he's I don't know, he's uncomfortable. So if
he's uncomfortable, you gotta respect that. When you what would
your ladies do if your man is saying he's uncomfortable?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Can we just do you have to be friends with
this one? Prison?

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I mean I'll be like, what does that mean? What
does that mean? You're uncomfortable?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
See? Why why did you have to go haul deeper
into all? Yeah? The man is saying he uncomfortable, so
I don't want to be her friend. I'm good. Look
at my man, You're right.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
You know I'm.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Saying this time, I'm gonna say just like this too,
because you know you don't know her like I know her.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
That's why we exes. I know, Okay, I know that.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, you think she's funny, she's genuine, and she does
all this great person all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
