    So impressed by the Breakfast Club for having Miss Cox as a guest! AND 50! WHERE?!?!?!?! I loved how they allowed each other to speak and get their full points across. I hope this creates an opportunity for more members of the community to come to The Breakfast Club.

      I agree. The Breakfast Club has had an almost steady stream of trans guests on the show after: Flame Monroe has been on a few times (clips are all on RUclips), POSE producer Janet Mock was on 5 years ago (but back then they weren't so sensitive to trans folks, they've evolved a lot) .... but yes, I also think the Breakfast Club hosts & producers want to make up for the fact that Lil Duval said ON AIR on TBC that he would "k!ll" a transperson if they didn't reveal their status if they were to have s3x. That caused a huge backlash, that the show is still trying to recover from.

    Laverne Cox so professional! The advice she shared with Jess and the world was so soothing but healing at the same time. Plus, I loved how she allowed Jess to share and provide her with the appropriate way to interact and react to different situations. Great interview where everyone was involved and listening at the same time.

    Laverne may be an actress as her resume, but her speaking, whew, she's a natural public speaker, a therapist, a historian, and a DEI consultant. She speaks so clearly, and non-bias, and so articulating. This was one of the better interviews I've watched on here. It's mature, informative, and intelligent.
    Whoever's Laverne's Therapist, kudos to them. She has her mental well-being put together 👏🏽.

      The Word of God is evident in its view of homosexuality. The most commonly quoted Bible verses are Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13, which state that it is an abomination for a man to lie with another man as he would with a woman. In Romans 1:26-27, Apostle Paul says that homosexuality is contrary to God's natural order and results from rejecting God. Additionally, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 lists homosexuality as one of the sins that will prevent someone from entering the Kingdom of God. While the Bible is clear in its view of homosexuality, it is essential to remember that God loves all of his creation and offers forgiveness to those who repent and turn away from their sins.

    That's why the Breakfast Club is number one syndicated radio show Morning Show because they are having in-depth conversations did I know that we need as a collective. Just so we can see perspectives that are not jaded ignorant unable to really give us the language and definitions of what's going on. Today it was done with Laverne Cox the day before Erykah Badu and I just each time I see certain interviews with certain guests I am very proud of what the breakfast show does for the culture as we say because it shows the diversity in the diasporas within Humanity but especially within heavily melanated skin tone people so Bravo continue continue continue

      This man shows how far society has regressed; no community needs to listen to this nonsense; we need more common sense in society; this is a MAN; only God can create a man and a woman; Cox is a bootleg, a knock-off, a Frankenstein Monster, and an insane FOOL.
      God made him a man; he needs to accept that and be the man he was created to be; when he dies, his bones will reveal what he was, and when he stands before the Lord, he will be cast into hell for his foolishness as it is written Rev 21:8-10.

      No, she should not have been called a slur by the guy, but remember that you cannot individualize a slur. When she responded with the F word, she offended a lot of gay people that had nothing to do with what that person called her.

  • @ElikyaNgoma
    @ElikyaNgoma Год назад +66

    I am not a fan of Jess Hilarious and unfollowed her years ago, however I appreciate her standing her ground as Laverne tried to talk around what she was raising with being called “tr***y” (a word that’s also been used in my direction when people try to insult me) being what led to her using the f* word. I have never responded slur for slur, but you can’t take away what happened to Jess and try to impose that she should’ve had a super healed response. It’s bullshit. She raised a real issue and though no one can force Laverne to respond actually addressing the truth (instead of making many false equivalencies to avoid the truth), but I do like that Jess did not get fooled or intimidated by that.
