Its disgusting to see how people didn't even try to stand up for the elderly asian man 😔 I'm the type of person I don't care if you're black, white, latino or asian if I see someone getting disrespected like that I will stand up not bc of their color or whatever just because that's the right dam thing to do!!!
Honestly if I saw that happening of course I would be upset and want to stand up for the man, but I wouldn’t be able to say anything. It makes me sad that I know I wouldn’t be able to help, but if I was there I would be too afraid. I’m 5’0, I’ve got no muscles. Those guys could snap me like a twig 😔
Jeannie and Adrienne about made me cry. Loni trying to dismiss the race element was wack. Like she was always the one to make it know race was a clear element in certain problems. I like the perspective that Amanda gave about the tensions between black and Asian communities. I also like what she said about the root cause of the behavior. But I still feel like she kinda brushed over the topic with lack of passion. If that were a black man it would have been different. And I understand the connection and empathy with the black man. But as allies of the Asian community they deserve that same spice and passion she usually has.
I think they are all emotional when things hit close to home as Adrienne and Jeannie were today in these clips and life experiences for them. It's just the same as Amanda, Loni, and Tamera on any other given day. Let's just call it even. They're showing compassion for one another in their own way.
True she had accurate information but it was kind of irrelevant lol the point is there's always been tension but they are acting on it because of the virus...everyone is just now picking on them because of the virus and that they are Asian it's not that deep. Plus discrimination Asian vs black has always affected black women more because they own hair stores and nail salons
I saw her as being more compassionate to Jeannie's feelings. She talked in a calm manner because she saw how worked up Jeannie was emotionally. Her going book hard at that moment didn't seem appropriate. I think she knew that.
haneulk7789 there is plenty ways Asians have participated in racism against black folks down to when we walk in the carry out(Chinese food restaurant) it’s like every other minority is a minority just not the “black kind” and it shows when they don’t show up for us in spaces that they should but then we’re supposed to just all ban together under the minority flag once it happens to someone other then black? This gos for certain Hispanics as well, its a weird thing explain especially they the comment section on RUclips... AND LIKE IVE STATED BEFORE THERE IS NO JUSTIFYING THAT VIDEO AND ID COULD NEVER CONDONE THAT IN ANYWAY! But like Amanda said we’d be remiss to not talk about the tension between the Asian and black community. And again same for Hispanics I speak solely from experience not media hype.
Surprised there wasn't more comments about that.. I could be wrong but it didnt seem like Loni was doing much speaking up before. Maybe because The Real wasnt covering heavy topics as often but hell she just had her deal with "black men cheat". That doesn't seem to be very proactive like she claims to be. Again - correct me if I'm wrong.
@@giiinnnaaa1 they only started covering heavier topics in recent years. their earlier girl chat topics were all about dating and sex and friendship topics.
yeah not sure what that was about...one acknowledgment doesn't take away from the others..I don't know why she felt the need to defend her position. I guess she felt overlooked.
Karina Williams I thought the same thing of all videos she particularly chose the ones they had black men but white people are the main ones who be being racist
Did no one notice Amanda’s facial expressions and body language? Prejudice comes in all forms and shades and these black men do not get a free pass for their ignorance! Respect has nothing to do with class or color period!
Adrienne talking about “just be happy you’re here” is so real it’s crazy. I have a friend whose dad is from Ireland and he doesn’t make his political and other views known because he doesn’t want to be attacked. I have the most amazing friend from Spain and she and her family have put up with so much bs because they don’t want to get deported for speaking up. They’re legal and citizens. But they are so afraid that they just take the abuse. It drives me crazy because all of these people deserve the right to not be tormented just because they’re different. Different is a good thing guys! Love your neighbor.
Respect is earned not given. Just because someone is an immigrant doesn't earn them unconditional love. The fact is a lot of aliens come here with (entitlement) issues thinking people owe them something. Wrong attitude in America. Because there are people who were already here who have been opressed and take that as the ultimate disrespect.
@@emanualcarr7408 I understand your point. People can be cruel and mean period. Even to their own fellow countrymen. There are two sides to the coin, but it is hard for anyone who is oppressed.
Amen different is good it's actually beautiful I'm so privileged to be in the country of the free and be able to embrace the different kinds of people and cultures under the umbrella of the United states
Emanual Carr My example however, both individuals were legal and still didn’t feel like they had a right to talk about politics in this country which they are citizens in also. Which I think is messed up. No matter how you came here, once you’re a citizen you should be allowed to express your opinion and participate in conversations with your perspective and experiences. Also I disagree with the phrase “respect is earned not given.” I think everyone deserves base level respect of not being called names or harassed simply for existing in a space until proven that they may not. But even then I will always interact with everyone with the most basic amount of respect because that’s how I want to be treated. That’s not bend over backwards and treat you like the queen but everyone deserves the right to feel safe.
I like the fact that Amanda brought up the racial tension between blacks and asians because they be hella racist to each other not everyone but a few here and there 💁🏽♀️
These dumb people on the comments talking about "Asians are racist to Black ppl". 🤦🏻♀️ HUNNNY. HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THE NEWS IN THE LAST DECADE? OR EVEN THE LAST CENTURY? ALL WE EVER SEE ARE OTHER RACES DOING INJUSTICES ON BLACK PPL. And the cold truth is, for the longest time black people have been known as the "thugs" in society. Sad but true. So stop pointing ya'll fingers at everyone else and start fixing the problem from the inside FIRST.
@Bea Utiful Me in the 90s an asian woman shot and killed a 15 year old black girl because she thought she was gonna steal some juice. She actually had the money in her hand ready to give it to her. The woman faced no jail time. That wasn't an isolated incident either. It happens on BOTH sides and if you don't think so it's not because it isn't happening; it's because you're ignorant to it.
Bea Utiful Me it’s still wrong. Also regular white person doesn’t have the power to oppress black person and it isn’t racist and you always put all white people in the same basket too. That’s wrong
Samantha Castillo make that clear again... TO EACH OTHER ! Cuz I already know some people will be like “ but actually Asians are more racist to us “ and the reality is instead of comparing who’s more racist or who isn’t... we should be trying to bring a. Stop to it
@Alexandra love I was thinking the same thing someone would view and hear her voice to be passionate not an angry ASIAN woman. Like they do black women. I'm curious how many Asian were apart of the March on Washington, holding signs that says Black lives matter, how many asians benefits from the minority perspective when it comes buying and renting homes that Black Civil rights leaders fought for? How many Asian were bused into schools that did want them there how many cases had to go to the Supreme courts to get some type of justice. White American would hire an Asian before a Black person. Jeanne even spoke with more passion about the LGBTQ before she did for black people yet she can lay down with one. I don't want anyone to be mistreated but I need some more passion in that voice when she speak on the disproportionate treatment of black people I'm just saying.
@Daniela Tesfaye you missed the point of Ioni's statement. Obviously she see's an Asian man but its deeper than that. She see's a man who could be her grandfather who is being disrespected and abused.
Briggitte C well forget race then, this is a human being hurt by another thing (I don’t even want to think of these men as human) we should be defending each other
Loni for the past 7 weeks: "We brought Amanda on... We brought Amanda on... We brought Amanda on" Adrienne: "Amanda helped me to understand..." Loni in 0.0001 seconds: "I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS!" Girl... UNNECESSARY!
😂 “We brought Amanda on because she has a masters in African American Studies”...okay we get it Loni lol....but yeah Loni and Amanda I think are subconsciously competing with each other for who can be the “blackest” I think..well more so Loni is. That’s what I’ve been sensing.
jide bolarinwa What a toxic, horrifying person you are. Get out of here with your agenda to spread racism. People commit crimes. Are you trying to play some kind of game where we show a video of one crime, now let's show another? That Asian man killed someone, so it's okay for this Asian man to be beaten and humiliated? Most African American celebs who die in the news are murdered by other African Americans. What happens there? What video do you have in response to that?
I just wanna say for anyone who wants an update... I believe as of yesterday the SF police actually were able to identify the man... but as far as this actual situation goes... I think we need to take this for a lesson... that one as minorities Jeannie said this before “ when we berate each other and we do things to each other... people in power win every time “ because there’s just something about us being put against each other and they get to fall back because we do their dirty work so they won’t have to and it’s LITERALLY working ! We got to do better as an OVERALL human race
The people in power created narratives for us to hate each other. They made Asians hate blacks. Vice versa. The model minority contributes to this. But us poc are all on the same side. We have to fight for each other and help each other’s causes. And EVERYBODY should be speaking out about black rights and issues even if they aren’t black. If ur reading my comment wondering why...google it.
But the guy in the full video repeated multiple times that he "hates Asians" and made comments about the virus and mocked his accent. It definitely had to do with race more than his age. I hate how people always justify or dismiss racism towards Asians. This had everything to do with race
@@Dinnerthedaythebanksareopen I think it was more of her saying this is wrong because he is an older person period, regardless of him being asian. I think she was saying u shouldn't immediately see it as black vs Asian but as an old man being attacked.. but there was definitely anti asian stuff in the situation
M L No Loni was definitely trying to dismiss the anti-Asian sentiment that provoked those men to attack the old Asian man. She’s minimizing Jeannie’s feelings towards this situation. Jeannie has every right to be upset and offended over this. Loni saying it’s about age and disregarding the racism is disrespectful to Jeannie. It’s a blatant hate crime.
Amanda hit the nail on the head. Find the root of the problem and come together to fix it. If we came together and stopped making each other the enemy we could get stuff done. I don't need to be followed in my locally Asian owned beauty supply store and black people need to stop referring to their Asian nail tech as Ling ling if that's not their name. It's not ok. Y'all hate on Amanda but look at how Jeannie and Adrienne are talking about topics when it pertains to their people. I would love to hear more from them. Also that old man wasn't a threat to anyone. It was so uncalled for.
Jeannie and Adrienne only talked bout their culture if a related situation occurs. whereas with amanda and loni its an ongoing everyday thing, it can be a super minor upset and they’ll start playing the racist card. i wish jeannie and Adrienne would be less passive
@@bryansim9191 I'll say that might have happened at most twice. That's besides the point I'm making in my original post, though. People claim there is too much race talk on the show about black people because of Loni and Amanda. Which Amanda does from an educational point of view. Jeannie has really recently brought up more issues within the asian community and Adrienne feels like she can speak up on her community. These are positive things. Let us focus on how the ladies have been more open to shedding light on issues within their communities. 👍
Keo Riv lets not forget about all the smirks and jokes loni has made when jeannie and Adrienne talks about their culture background. loni is fake and likes to play the victim and cry fake tears bring back tamar any day
@@bryansim9191 Loni on occasion has not made the best impression on me. However, my post has nothing to do with that. It's about how Jeannie and Adrienne feel empowered to speak up and out and how minorities need to stick together.
This is one of the very few times I've heard someone on TV mention the tensions between minority groups. It's weird how it's never talked about, people only ever talk about minority vs White
It’s because people aren’t educated much on it. What Amanda was referring to was the model minority myth. The myth was created by a white man to perpetuate anti-blackness. This myth has created a ton of division between the black and asian communities.
@@laazysusan9608 "The myth was created by a white man to perpetuate anti-blackness. This myth has created a ton of division between the black and asian communities." With all due respect, who was this white man that created this myth? Also - how did this myth that he created evolve into being the cause of all of the division between the black and asian communities? I am truly curious as to what you are saying, and am genuinely only trying to understand. I agree with you in that there are a lot of people who sadly don't know what the "model minority myth" is, because unfortunately, that is a harmful myth that is alive and well. As someone who always has and always will do my damndest to raise my own awareness in myself - and in others, I appreciate those (like you) who advocate for the same.
I'm sure these guys didnt harass that man because "there has been a long standing tension between Asian and black communities". I think they did it cuz they're EVIL
@Alexandra love you can go on Asian forums right now and find them talking about the STATISTICS of being targeted/attacked by Black people than the other way around. It might be a hard pill for you to swallow and you seem quite emotional about just this video, so be careful and take your time. I just found out about this, so I say this with no malice.
@@Hello-qf3fd You will also hear of many black people being targeted and experiencing hate/racism from asians. So what are you talking about ? You tried it.
@@adriana1954 and that's also bad. You're coming at me like I support that when I'm just talking about the topic at hand. It's alright to stay on the topic at hand you know.
It's so upsetting to see my same people hurt someone of another minority when we've had to go through the same thing. That's someone dad, brother, son he is and elder and it is so disrespectful and hurtful to see someone so comfortable with being so hurtful to someone of another race. I'm so sorry to this man he didn't deserve this to happen to him. You cant treat people like crap just because their from a different race!!@
JaReesa Jordan / i couldn’t figure out the right words to say about why I’m so disgusted with this, but you said it: “my same people hurt someone of another minority” It finally clicked, why did those black folks have to go and do that when they probably struggling just as much as that Asian man, it just doesn’t seem like it’s in our nature because we’ve been discriminated against for a long time so we are no better then the next person, I’m just so disappointed.
I agree but we also have countless of video when Asian store owner beating black women, the real and no one else ever do go fund me for them. I do not condone violence against any group but the Asian been assaulted black people.
@@ElizabethHome153 I actually haven't seen those videos but that's still a problem as well. No man should ever feel like he can just put his hands on a woman. I don't know how everyone of a different race will find a common ground where we don't beat, harass, exclud, or put anyone eles down. I honestly don't know how but it need to happen people can't go on being like this to one another.
I don’t think anyone on the show in all six seasons has ever mentioned the tension between various racial minorities in this country. Most times when we talk racism, prejudice, etc it’s white vs ________. Amanda really does elevate these conversations.
It's because some people believe that the oppressed cannot be racist. That's what I saw and learned in the comments lately. I am Asian and I know for a fact there are racist Asians.
chisuwo chabu no she never did she made jokes that were funny to HER about silly mundane topics but never has she spoken up. I think she feels a certain way that people are praising Amanda and not her
In the words of Biggie Small , big and black, however LOL she's Blacker and older So she should know more than Amanda, just off of experience but she doesn't and She should be embarrassed.
This was not "Elder Abuse" this was a HATE CRIME, DISCRIMINATION AND RACIST. Just because they are black mean it's not racist. Racism comes in all colors. They need to be held accountable .
That’s one thing I’ve always admired about the black culture. They’re not afraid to speak out and educate ppl on the injustices they face. As Asians, we’re typically told the same as what Adrienne said “be happy you’re here”. We’re told to just put our heads down, work, and don’t cause trouble. I hope one day, us asians will learn to speak out about these issues. So thank you Jeannie for speaking about this. It’s a start, but we got a long way to go.
laazysusan there’s speaking out and then there’s playing the victim card! In this instance these black people in these videos displayed racist behaviour towards asians! They won’t admit it though by saying they’re racist but that they expect better, double standards.
Who is they ? They won’t admit it? It was a RACSIT thing to do. Of them but this doesn’t mean all black people are like that. These people in the video are ass holes
If it’s any consolation, black folks don’t have the “be happy you’re here” mentality because the majority of us did not choose to immigrate here. Our families were stolen and sold and forced to be in this country and we have been treated poorly ever since. So we have a different psychology. So, it’s only natural that your parents would teach you to be grateful.
Ebony May they as in Amanda and Loni, they have no problem calling out other races when they display racist behaviour towards blacks, by calling it racism. Amanda especially is just a germ, you can tell she is trying to be apologetic for her people and excuse their behaviour! Not all black people are racist but the ones In these videos are and all Amanda calls it is ‘unacceptable’ could you imagine her outrage if the shoe was on the other foot?
Loni, yes you have been talking about it on the show! But! Amanda brings a depth and an approach that was able to inspire A and Jeannie. I’m so glad she did because I’ve been wanting a Jeannie and A to open up more about their own cultural experiences surrounding discrimination. This season has been comprehensively better.
I said it I said it when they first added her to this spot alot were against her but not me I'm here for the history lesson and conversation about it. I wish this show would have audience participation more often not just playing games. I know they don't have much time
Thank you! I love that Amanda is able to provide context and is giving folks like Jeannie and Adrienne the language to describe things happening in their own communities. It was needed. Cause outside of jokes, neither really discuss their communities like that
FALSE... PEOPLE OF COLOR DO NOT HAVE THE SAME STRUGGLE. Are there some things that are similar? Yes. But comparing the BLK struggle to the Asian or Latino or Hispanic struggle is like comparing the LGBT movement with the civil rights movement. Even "Bi-racil" people have a different struggle than BLK people. We are not that inclusive of a society. THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY IS VERY IMPORTANT before making such statements.
Emanual Carr I don’t think she meant the same LEVELS of struggles because some races have it worst then others but we all have the same struggle in general which is racism, is what I think she meant by that.
It sounds good but reality is.....A lot of (Not ALL so please don't @ me) other minorities think that blacks are the lowest class of people. That's why it's very important that we constantly uplift each other. I don't care if you are light skin dark skin or brown skin. Any form of discrimination racism or bullying I am not down with and it needs to get better. I realistically cannot say stop because it will never stop but I do hope it gets much better. Peace & love and God bless all of you.
I HATE black people like that. It pisses me off when they say black lives matter this that, but for others??? No. Because they think being black is superior in some way. As an African person, we are told to stay away from black american people because of this, and other cases of violence. Amanda is soooooooo quick to come for anyone saying anything against black lives matter, but is acting like a complete idot and joking around when it comes to other minorities. I'm so done with this.
Oh God Loni damn let Amanda get her compliment geeezzzz 🙄🙄🙄 that rubbed me so wrong let the next women shine without inserting yourself so narcissistic
Ashley williamson I see what she means though cuz she prob thinking damn well what y’all been thinking I been trying to do? Lol they did used to shade loni when she spoke out
Raayden maybe the way she said things never resonated with Adrienne . Maybe the way Amanda breaks things down hits home for her differently and makes her get it
Fr I was thinking the same thing she’s such a attention seeker, she might just think Amanda’s a threat and try to to get her kicked off the show just like how she did t Tamar. Like this is not about what you it’s way bigger then you 😒
san Walker not necessarily about making as much money as possible. Just trying to make an honest living and be a productive US citizen. It’s amazing how difficult it is for some.
How did she ? She literally spoke on how the incident was wrong 100% . She just shed light on the root of these situations and why it is so common what is the motivation for these disrespectful run ins
Thank you producers for finally listening to us viewers and bringing topics to this show OTHER than Black and White racial issues. And things like this are so important. There are OTHER races. Thank you.
Amanda was not speaking as passionate as she does when victim is black. She was not dropping factsss like she usually do. That man was hitting that girl just because she is an asian. Black people are Racist too.
@Alexandra love lol pure Racist YOU are. And then you all expect to other races to stand up against the racism some time some black people experience, wat a Joke.
She was dropping facts: she acknowledged the racial tension between blacks and Asians, she acknowledged the similarity in treatment that Asians and blacks have faced in the US and that people care more about clout than helping others. Those aren’t facts? Jeannie was so passionate to the point of tears because this was clearly so close to home as the child of Asian immigrant parents. Amanda can only empathise and vice versa. Black people *can be racist* just like Asian people *can be racist*. Check out what’s happening to Muslims in China.
And Jeannie didn’t cry about a 6-year old black child being arrested and traumatized. People are typically more emotional about people they share a culture with. It doesn’t make them racist and to suggest so makes you appear unintelligent.
I love Amanda being on the show, she has changed their girl topics. Its is more educational entertainment now, i look forward to hearing her speak her mind. I appreciate her influence on the ladies.
I just wish she would present it differently. Like all the twisted up faces she makes when the other women speak and share their thoughts is disrespectful to me. I think she thinks she's the smartest one in the room and that is very off-putting.
@@jerseygirl6221 I find her disrespectful. When she mimicked the arm gestures I felt it was inappropriate. As for mentioning the black and Asian tensions I felt that was disingenuous and scripted. Ironically, she's turned me off from watching because it's a whole different level of race talk. Balance is key. When I've visited the US I've found it racist on a level I've never experienced in the UK and it's pretty racist here too, just more subtle.
as a child i was sometimes also ashamed by my immigrant parents. now i am proud bc they raised me to be me and with an open-mindedness i would not otherwise have.
side note: adrienne is such a follower and not an individual with her own mind. she always looking / bringing up amanda in the discussion as if asking for her approval. like cmon sis, get it together.
It is clear as daylight that Amanda was not as passionate as she would have been if it were a black elderly man. She blamed the history of this country and the society for their actions and did not once call out the perpetrators, who were black, for their racism and bigotry. I am an immigrant from Asia who had no prior exposure to different races in their country, and I had to learn about everything and taught myself to care for people who are different from me. I can't imagine my black co-workers or friends to ever go through hate crimes because of their race. However, Amanda doesn't look like she cares about us though!
To be fair though...I don't necessarily see Jeannie tearing up on black topics either..both Amanda and Jeannie positions are both understandable and appropriate.
@@QueenChastity Completely agree. It resonated differently with Jeannie because she envisioned her parents or Grandparents. That's perfectly okay to not have the same emotional passion as long as you can empathize.
@@QueenChastity True but if it was a black elderly man being assaulted and harassed by a group of Asians. I know damn well Jeannie will speak up against Asians and call her people out.
Learn, adjust and grow? Seriously? She deflected...and that type of thinking keeps you in a box. That World War II story has ZERO relevance to what these men did. Black people can't make white people the scapegoats for everything. It’s 2020, we all need to take responsibility for our behavior no matter what color we are.
I’m so glad they spoke on this. I completely understand Adrienne. Just be thankful you’re here is how a lot of us Latinos were raised and I’m sure it’s similar for Asian/middle eastern children of immigrants as well.
When I saw that video it made me really sad because u can see it in his eyes that he knew that he was being picked on by these people just for trying to help his family..it just really sad minorities are being racist to other minorities when we already live in a country tht looks down on us.
No_clones&unknown86 I hope not either. Just saw a poll taken recently that asked Asian American voters what their priorities were. While healthcare came in first, race relations came in last. It’s like, how are they going to address the anti-Blackness in their community and the tensions between the communities altogether if they don’t make it a priority?
Loni, you've GOT to get over yourself smh. Let Adrienne speak about the positive impact Amanda has had on her without feeling the need to insert yourself and say what you've supposedly done. Especially when you've often missed the mark while speaking about topics related to the black experience in America. Please let your pride, ego, and insecurities take a backseat at LEAST once!
Yes shes been speaking out for years but loni often says her opinion with a comedic undertone as if shes not trying to take full blame for saying what she said and blame it on it being comedy as soon someone doesnt like what she said. I may not always agree but amanda with a straight face will stand in her truth. In my opinion loni has never came across as serious to me in how she articulates controversial topics
Amanda, the US has done this for EVERY SINGLE MINORITY. It’s not just Black & Asian tension. We should not be fighting each other. We should be fighting AGAINST the oppressor and the people that are making it so that we feel like isolating each other and not helping each other
Generally black people do not behave this way towards other races unless triggered, so I think you would need to address the lack of respect from the Asian community towards black people in the first instance before you “All lives matter” the situation
Thank you Adrienne for being inspired by us and it’s okay Jeannie it’s okay to speak up the anti BLACK and anti Asian in both communities need to stop within the community or outside the community people already don’t like us and us attacking our own kind ain’t it we need to have each other’s backs 🥺🙌👸🤴👑👑🤎💚
That video really broke my heart. That is someone's grandparent and I cant imagine this happening to my own sweet loving grandpa. Its disgusting and unbecoming. And I hope to those people in the video that were mocking the guy to gain some education and harvest empathy. This is not right. We cannot do this to anyone.
This was a valuable conversation, I appreciate all of your voices. I’m a brown woman and can relate to these experiences of inequality & prejudices, it makes upward mobility damn near impossible. I love all you ladies and you’re all my sisters. We’re in this fight together 💜🌻✊🏽
I agree with Loni. I see that man as my grandpa!!!!!! I couldn’t imagine sitting around filming this smh.. also I like that Adrienne said Amanda’s standing out inspires her to stand out, that’s dope!
Speak everyone! So appreciative of this conversation on tv. So appreciative of the conversation of the elderly community regardless of race. Ease be to that sacred man, ease be. I heard Loni when she said she see her grandfather, all respect 🌿 I love this show now!
I didn't like Adrianne and Lonni dismisding the fact thst he wss attacked because he's ASIAN not hispanic or elderly. They totally lost the point and you can see Jeanie quite dissapointed.
THANK YOU Amanda! (And Jeannie for sharing) because I have been waiting for years to hear ANYONE in the world mention the Japanese internment camps in America. It’s almost NEVER talked about. Also, Amanda is well spoken and knowledgeable so when she speaks its resounding...which makes a big difference compared to others. I’m so glad she mentioned the tension between the cultures and why the issue even exists in the first place. Go Amanda! I’m here for all of it!
Adrienne's comment hit my soul. Just stay quiet and be glad you're here. That's what I was taught!!! Moving from one Caribbean island to another. When we migrated we were treated so poorly it's incomprehensible. Things have changed but those experiences scar and shape you in unfortunate ways
julia you can acknowledge where someone’s emotions stem from without insinuating that it is okay. Amanda was doing what she usually does, add a deeper insight to the topic at hand...
@Ang V And that's the reason the government lets out these viruses. For chaos. Then implement some type of rule this hating the people more for what they caused and the changes they brought on to them. A cycle of hate.
I’m so happy Amanda brought up the tensions between black and Asian peoples/culture. I’ve seen so many in our community justify racism and mistreatment of Asian people in the same way that WE are mistreated. Make the elderly man black and those men white... it would be a hate crime, no question. We need to do better and keep the same energy speaking up for other minorities like we do ourselves. This behavior should not be tolerated toward any human being!
It's so sad how this is happening even during all the bullying and taunting and racism asians got because the coronavirus which wasn't their fault. I feel like and I know that was part of the inspo to do such a thing. Also, yes be educated on each others culture and accept it. Also, be educated on how to respect and treat people. Adults should know right from wrong. This aint funny.
Jeannie, You’ve been one of the FEW Asian-American celebrities addressing the rise of racism and discrimination against Asian-Americans due to COVID-19. I would like to be part of the solution with regards to this matter. Thank you for being brave and courageous. I saw you and the women from The Real talk about this matter, and racism overall. I hope that as an Asian-American community we can stand in solidarity to fight this other virus: racism.
I think Amanda is what made me came back to this show, she is unapologetic and real. She is shining the light on educated women instead of all the loud talking that don’t solve anything that means or give knowledge, love you Amanda. Keep speaking from your heart.
May I just say I’m glad we can see you ladies speak on this topic. So people are aware that this happens to many different ethnicities. Because its true not right and needs to end but this happens to many types of cultures.
This is why it is so important to educate yourself on other people/cultures. Learn from them and open yourself up to something new so that you learn to appreciate what’s different and not be afraid of it.
Absolutely disgusting! Cowards abusing an elderly man and women! Shame on you and shame on the ones just standing there doing nothing to help. This isn’t a cultural misunderstanding or lack of education or culture, it’s a hate crime.
I’m in tears rn. I feel so powerless unable to help this man. I don’t understand why our country hates something or someone they don’t understand. Just open your eyes and learn. This is killing us as a nation. Black, white, Asian, or even Purple hate gets us nowhere. I’m so heartbroken. 😢😢
All I can think about is my abuela and it makes me emotional. It's so sad to see people treat others like this. We are all humans, let's help each other not tear each other down!
I really wish the tension between black folks and Asians were addressed more. A light needs to be shined on all perpetrators of prejudice on both sides. Guess who sits back laughing at the infighting of minorities?
I agree with Amanda so much. Capturing the situation via mobile phones, rather than helping out, is very upsetting. Like we should speak up for and help out any person being abused, regardless of race.
AMANDA and LONI UHHH! Stop saying “Elderly Abuse”, that man wasn’t assaulted because he was “elderly” , those thugs themselves said they “hated asians”!
I just wanna let other races/cultures know, that not all black people think this is ok or the race of the perpetrators doesn’t matter, loni was trying to dismiss the race card Amanda kept saying “ people need to stop this” “people this people that” NO, Black people cant be doing this and I believe Amanda and loni are to prideful and proud of who they are and there hardworking culture that they can’t realize that black people can play the role of perpetrators(when it comes to race) rather then the victim. BASICALLY what I’m trying to say is the race of the people who did tht to tht man should be in the conversation. I tried to word this correctly so please don’t come at me if I’m not making sense
To be a first generation immigrant is to demand equality in a way our parents never dreamed of. My parents always told me to keep my head down but Im American and my voice will be heard.

Its disgusting to see how people didn't even try to stand up for the elderly asian man 😔 I'm the type of person I don't care if you're black, white, latino or asian if I see someone getting disrespected like that I will stand up not bc of their color or whatever just because that's the right dam thing to do!!!
Right!
It was a lot of people maybe they were afraid
Periodttt !!!
Honestly if I saw that happening of course I would be upset and want to stand up for the man, but I wouldn’t be able to say anything. It makes me sad that I know I wouldn’t be able to help, but if I was there I would be too afraid. I’m 5’0, I’ve got no muscles. Those guys could snap me like a twig 😔
Analletzi Velazquez Amen
Coming from haitian immigrants, I feel Adrienne 100%, this is sad smh
Me too, it hit me really hard 😭.. we all as immigrant children understand what it’s like .. it’s so disgusting
eleasha dorvil RIGHT!🇭🇹
Same for me...and I'm from kosovo living in Switzerland !
Jamaican immigrants, same
As a Liberian immigrant, I feel that 💯
Jeannie and Adrienne about made me cry. Loni trying to dismiss the race element was wack. Like she was always the one to make it know race was a clear element in certain problems. I like the perspective that Amanda gave about the tensions between black and Asian communities. I also like what she said about the root cause of the behavior. But I still feel like she kinda brushed over the topic with lack of passion. If that were a black man it would have been different. And I understand the connection and empathy with the black man. But as allies of the Asian community they deserve that same spice and passion she usually has.
I think they are all emotional when things hit close to home as Adrienne and Jeannie were today in these clips and life experiences for them. It's just the same as Amanda, Loni, and Tamera on any other given day. Let's just call it even. They're showing compassion for one another in their own way.
True she had accurate information but it was kind of irrelevant lol the point is there's always been tension but they are acting on it because of the virus...everyone is just now picking on them because of the virus and that they are Asian it's not that deep.
Plus discrimination Asian vs black has always affected black women more because they own hair stores and nail salons
like, the dude actually said i hate asians. aye loni.
I saw her as being more compassionate to Jeannie's feelings. She talked in a calm manner because she saw how worked up Jeannie was emotionally. Her going book hard at that moment didn't seem appropriate. I think she knew that.
Keo Riv you make a great point. Maybe it was because she was in such a calm state she was able to relay so much information and perspective.
This is why I hate when I hear people say “ black people can’t be racist” every culture can be racist.
No black people can't be racist educate yourself.
Are you really this stupid? Black people can be stupid and clearly that’s shown on this video.
Idiot
Those black ppl in the video are resist no doubt.
little misa No they ain’t.
If this was a black man loni and Amanda would have been angry and raged
Ohk sorry I didn't know now I get why they were like that coz I could feel they did not really care
Nontombi Bashe they did care don’t apologise. I think people are naturally more emotional when it comes to topics close to home.
haneulk7789 there is plenty ways Asians have participated in racism against black folks down to when we walk in the carry out(Chinese food restaurant) it’s like every other minority is a minority just not the “black kind” and it shows when they don’t show up for us in spaces that they should but then we’re supposed to just all ban together under the minority flag once it happens to someone other then black? This gos for certain Hispanics as well, its a weird thing explain especially they the comment section on RUclips... AND LIKE IVE STATED BEFORE THERE IS NO JUSTIFYING THAT VIDEO AND ID COULD NEVER CONDONE THAT IN ANYWAY! But like Amanda said we’d be remiss to not talk about the tension between the Asian and black community. And again same for Hispanics I speak solely from experience not media hype.
*through
It all leads back to the topic of properly educating all minorities that were in this together!!!
Not Adrienne giving Amanda props and Loni coming with the "WELL I BEEN HERE FOR YEARS SPEAKING UP!" idk if that rubbed anyone else the wrong way.
Surprised there wasn't more comments about that.. I could be wrong but it didnt seem like Loni was doing much speaking up before. Maybe because The Real wasnt covering heavy topics as often but hell she just had her deal with "black men cheat". That doesn't seem to be very proactive like she claims to be. Again - correct me if I'm wrong.
@@giiinnnaaa1 they only started covering heavier topics in recent years. their earlier girl chat topics were all about dating and sex and friendship topics.
yeah not sure what that was about...one acknowledgment doesn't take away from the others..I don't know why she felt the need to defend her position. I guess she felt overlooked.
I noticed and then Adrienne was like yeah of course
@@QueenChastity I guess. In my opinion Amanda is much more blunt and not afraid to ruffle some feathers whereas Loni sugarcoats things sometimes.
why is Black people doing this to other people knowing what its like to go tru these things....its so sad
Hurt people hurt people. Does it make it right? Nope.
cause they dont get call out for it. otherwise its deemed racist
cause they still do it to us
minnie1214 i wonder why
Karina Williams I thought the same thing of all videos she particularly chose the ones they had black men but white people are the main ones who be being racist
Did no one notice Amanda’s facial expressions and body language? Prejudice comes in all forms and shades and these black men do not get a free pass for their ignorance! Respect has nothing to do with class or color period!
Unless it's about a black victimhood, she doesn't care. She's a race hustler.
She's a racist herself.
@@kekeluv82 I only care about my OWN PEOPLE. if a white man does the same GOOD FOR HIM.
@@aaronbirook4367 I care about all people.
black people do love to be racist to other... should just send them all to third world county...
Love Adrienne and Jeannie! They really understood how it feels to come from immigrant families.
That's the problem... we're so selective with our love.
@@emcallis57 I’m sorry you have a problem with what I said?? I’m so confused.
Adrienne talking about “just be happy you’re here” is so real it’s crazy. I have a friend whose dad is from Ireland and he doesn’t make his political and other views known because he doesn’t want to be attacked. I have the most amazing friend from Spain and she and her family have put up with so much bs because they don’t want to get deported for speaking up. They’re legal and citizens. But they are so afraid that they just take the abuse. It drives me crazy because all of these people deserve the right to not be tormented just because they’re different. Different is a good thing guys! Love your neighbor.
Wow smh
Respect is earned not given. Just because someone is an immigrant doesn't earn them unconditional love. The fact is a lot of aliens come here with (entitlement) issues thinking people owe them something. Wrong attitude in America. Because there are people who were already here who have been opressed and take that as the ultimate disrespect.
@@emanualcarr7408
I understand your point. People can be cruel and mean period. Even to their own fellow countrymen. There are two sides to the coin, but it is hard for anyone who is oppressed.
Amen different is good it's actually beautiful I'm so privileged to be in the country of the free and be able to embrace the different kinds of people and cultures under the umbrella of the United states
Emanual Carr My example however, both individuals were legal and still didn’t feel like they had a right to talk about politics in this country which they are citizens in also. Which I think is messed up. No matter how you came here, once you’re a citizen you should be allowed to express your opinion and participate in conversations with your perspective and experiences. Also I disagree with the phrase “respect is earned not given.” I think everyone deserves base level respect of not being called names or harassed simply for existing in a space until proven that they may not. But even then I will always interact with everyone with the most basic amount of respect because that’s how I want to be treated. That’s not bend over backwards and treat you like the queen but everyone deserves the right to feel safe.
I like the fact that Amanda brought up the racial tension between blacks and asians because they be hella racist to each other not everyone but a few here and there 💁🏽♀️
Samantha Castillo exactly. it’s tragic. we gotta fix this bruh
These dumb people on the comments talking about "Asians are racist to Black ppl".
🤦🏻♀️ HUNNNY. HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THE NEWS IN THE LAST DECADE? OR EVEN THE LAST CENTURY?
ALL WE EVER SEE ARE OTHER RACES DOING INJUSTICES ON BLACK PPL.
And the cold truth is, for the longest time black people have been known as the "thugs" in society. Sad but true.
So stop pointing ya'll fingers at everyone else and start fixing the problem from the inside FIRST.
@Bea Utiful Me in the 90s an asian woman shot and killed a 15 year old black girl because she thought she was gonna steal some juice. She actually had the money in her hand ready to give it to her. The woman faced no jail time. That wasn't an isolated incident either. It happens on BOTH sides and if you don't think so it's not because it isn't happening; it's because you're ignorant to it.
Bea Utiful Me it’s still wrong. Also regular white person doesn’t have the power to oppress black person and it isn’t racist and you always put all white people in the same basket too. That’s wrong
Samantha Castillo make that clear again... TO EACH OTHER ! Cuz I already know some people will be like “ but actually Asians are more racist to us “ and the reality is instead of comparing who’s more racist or who isn’t... we should be trying to bring a. Stop to it
loni, the person who brings up race all the time, doesn’t see “asian man” but sees elderly abuse?😐
@Alexandra love I was thinking the same thing someone would view and hear her voice to be passionate not an angry ASIAN woman. Like they do black women. I'm curious how many Asian were apart of the March on Washington, holding signs that says Black lives matter, how many asians benefits from the minority perspective when it comes buying and renting homes that Black Civil rights leaders fought for? How many Asian were bused into schools that did want them there how many cases had to go to the Supreme courts to get some type of justice. White American would hire an Asian before a Black person. Jeanne even spoke with more passion about the LGBTQ before she did for black people yet she can lay down with one. I don't want anyone to be mistreated but I need some more passion in that voice when she speak on the disproportionate treatment of black people I'm just saying.
@Daniela Tesfaye you missed the point of Ioni's statement. Obviously she see's an Asian man but its deeper than that. She see's a man who could be her grandfather who is being disrespected and abused.
Alexandra love hate your mentality it’s what makes the world the horrible place it is. We are all human we should all stand up for one and other
Briggitte C well forget race then, this is a human being hurt by another thing (I don’t even want to think of these men as human) we should be defending each other
Daniela Tesfaye They’re violent people period. They would do this to anyone. So back off.
Loni for the past 7 weeks: "We brought Amanda on... We brought Amanda on... We brought Amanda on"
Adrienne: "Amanda helped me to understand..."
Loni in 0.0001 seconds: "I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS!"
Girl... UNNECESSARY!
She will try to get her fired probably
Agreed.
Exactly
Lmaoooo I understand Loni’s frustration but she brought it on herself 😂
😂 “We brought Amanda on because she has a masters in African American Studies”...okay we get it Loni lol....but yeah Loni and Amanda I think are subconsciously competing with each other for who can be the “blackest” I think..well more so Loni is. That’s what I’ve been sensing.
Coming from Kenyan immigrants, I understand the struggle. My parents were constantly taunted by not only white people but also black Americans.
have you seen the video of an asian man flogging a kenya employee in kenya?.
jide bolarinwa nope,where is it?
@@RNM-bu4rj ruclips.net/video/ZnqUGq4GJpA/видео.html
jide bolarinwa What a toxic, horrifying person you are. Get out of here with your agenda to spread racism. People commit crimes. Are you trying to play some kind of game where we show a video of one crime, now let's show another? That Asian man killed someone, so it's okay for this Asian man to be beaten and humiliated? Most African American celebs who die in the news are murdered by other African Americans. What happens there? What video do you have in response to that?
I'm sorry you had to experience that, escpecially from other black people. Smh
It’s good that Amanda has had that impact on A, I hope she speaks out more.
Loni got mad that Amanda got those props
Veiria Rebuilt Johnson she real was lmao
Javy 22
What about it ?
@@rebuiltgirl3263 loni didn't say anything bad stop hating
Black people been inspiring and teaching for years.🌹 Adrienne where you been🤔
I just wanna say for anyone who wants an update... I believe as of yesterday the SF police actually were able to identify the man... but as far as this actual situation goes... I think we need to take this for a lesson... that one as minorities Jeannie said this before “ when we berate each other and we do things to each other... people in power win every time “ because there’s just something about us being put against each other and they get to fall back because we do their dirty work so they won’t have to and it’s LITERALLY working ! We got to do better as an OVERALL human race
The people in power created narratives for us to hate each other. They made Asians hate blacks. Vice versa. The model minority contributes to this. But us poc are all on the same side. We have to fight for each other and help each other’s causes. And EVERYBODY should be speaking out about black rights and issues even if they aren’t black. If ur reading my comment wondering why...google it.
Levi Loves erwin blacks don’t hate Asians as much as they hate us though

Frida K and I can point you to 100 more videos of Asian men beating up black women so what’s your point

Racism is not going to stop racism. 🙏 Well said, Jeannie! ♥️
“Capturing people for Clout VS. Helping people for change” YES AMANDA!!!!!
Yes Loni, same thoughts it is elder abuse and I'm so glad the ladies are speaking out about this.
But the guy in the full video repeated multiple times that he "hates Asians" and made comments about the virus and mocked his accent. It definitely had to do with race more than his age. I hate how people always justify or dismiss racism towards Asians. This had everything to do with race
@@Dinnerthedaythebanksareopen I think it was more of her saying this is wrong because he is an older person period, regardless of him being asian. I think she was saying u shouldn't immediately see it as black vs Asian but as an old man being attacked.. but there was definitely anti asian stuff in the situation
@@Dinnerthedaythebanksareopen yes, its was racist.
Not elder abuse. It’s a hate crime
M L No Loni was definitely trying to dismiss the anti-Asian sentiment that provoked those men to attack the old Asian man. She’s minimizing Jeannie’s feelings towards this situation. Jeannie has every right to be upset and offended over this. Loni saying it’s about age and disregarding the racism is disrespectful to Jeannie. It’s a blatant hate crime.
Amanda hit the nail on the head. Find the root of the problem and come together to fix it. If we came together and stopped making each other the enemy we could get stuff done. I don't need to be followed in my locally Asian owned beauty supply store and black people need to stop referring to their Asian nail tech as Ling ling if that's not their name. It's not ok. Y'all hate on Amanda but look at how Jeannie and Adrienne are talking about topics when it pertains to their people. I would love to hear more from them. Also that old man wasn't a threat to anyone. It was so uncalled for.
Jeannie and Adrienne only talked bout their culture if a related situation occurs. whereas with amanda and loni its an ongoing everyday thing, it can be a super minor upset and they’ll start playing the racist card. i wish jeannie and Adrienne would be less passive
@@bryansim9191 I'll say that might have happened at most twice. That's besides the point I'm making in my original post, though. People claim there is too much race talk on the show about black people because of Loni and Amanda. Which Amanda does from an educational point of view. Jeannie has really recently brought up more issues within the asian community and Adrienne feels like she can speak up on her community. These are positive things. Let us focus on how the ladies have been more open to shedding light on issues within their communities. 👍
Keo Riv lets not forget about all the smirks and jokes loni has made when jeannie and Adrienne talks about their culture background. loni is fake and likes to play the victim and cry fake tears bring back tamar any day
@@bryansim9191 Loni on occasion has not made the best impression on me. However, my post has nothing to do with that. It's about how Jeannie and Adrienne feel empowered to speak up and out and how minorities need to stick together.
Keo Riv i honestly dont think those two are aggressive enough to do that. they look scared most of the time on that panel
That black chick with the afro. She looks like she doesn’t care. Only if is her race getting bullied.
Jose Flores why should she care?

This is one of the very few times I've heard someone on TV mention the tensions between minority groups. It's weird how it's never talked about, people only ever talk about minority vs White
It surely happens. Growing up in my area, Asians and Hispanics fought all the time. It was ridiculous.
It’s because people aren’t educated much on it. What Amanda was referring to was the model minority myth. The myth was created by a white man to perpetuate anti-blackness. This myth has created a ton of division between the black and asian communities.
@@laazysusan9608 "The myth was created by a white man to perpetuate anti-blackness. This myth has created a ton of division between the black and asian communities." With all due respect, who was this white man that created this myth? Also - how did this myth that he created evolve into being the cause of all of the division between the black and asian communities? I am truly curious as to what you are saying, and am genuinely only trying to understand. I agree with you in that there are a lot of people who sadly don't know what the "model minority myth" is, because unfortunately, that is a harmful myth that is alive and well. As someone who always has and always will do my damndest to raise my own awareness in myself - and in others, I appreciate those (like you) who advocate for the same.
YESSSSSS it's so annoying because it's clearly a symptom of the greater racial issues at hand, but it needs to be acknowledged.
@What Not To Do At a Stoplight - Bruh... Never mind. LMAO I just hope that you have a great day!! 💞
I'm sure these guys didnt harass that man because "there has been a long standing tension between Asian and black communities". I think they did it cuz they're EVIL
@Alexandra love you can go on Asian forums right now and find them talking about the STATISTICS of being targeted/attacked by Black people than the other way around. It might be a hard pill for you to swallow and you seem quite emotional about just this video, so be careful and take your time. I just found out about this, so I say this with no malice.

I don’t think anyone on the show in all six seasons has ever mentioned the tension between various racial minorities in this country. Most times when we talk racism, prejudice, etc it’s white vs ________. Amanda really does elevate these conversations.
StingingwithqueenC she does!!! She even gives accurate history!! She literally is the best
Lately, I've been enjoying Amanda on the show more. She does add more to the conversations. I always like to hear peoples different perspectives.
Lol
It's because some people believe that the oppressed cannot be racist. That's what I saw and learned in the comments lately. I am Asian and I know for a fact there are racist Asians.
They were afraid to rock the boat
Wait loni said she has been speaking against topics like these since she’s been on the show?! Really sis?! Lol 😂
But I think she tried but kept on being dismissed
chisuwo chabu no she never did she made jokes that were funny to HER about silly mundane topics but never has she spoken up. I think she feels a certain way that people are praising Amanda and not her

Thank u The Real for finally bringing awareness to racisim that happens to Asians . We are all Human.
kelly malik only one host is bringing it up. The Afro girl is deflecting
This was not "Elder Abuse" this was a HATE CRIME, DISCRIMINATION AND RACIST. Just because they are black mean it's not racist. Racism comes in all colors. They need to be held accountable .
Thank you! All the idiots in the comments talking about how black people can’t be racist 🙄
Layla B no minority can be racist. We can discriminate, be prejudicial or act in hate, but we cannot by definition be racist.
You're right
Ariel Elisa which definition are you using? The one that is most convenient to you?
Alexandra love how have Asians oppressed black people?
That’s one thing I’ve always admired about the black culture. They’re not afraid to speak out and educate ppl on the injustices they face. As Asians, we’re typically told the same as what Adrienne said “be happy you’re here”. We’re told to just put our heads down, work, and don’t cause trouble. I hope one day, us asians will learn to speak out about these issues. So thank you Jeannie for speaking about this. It’s a start, but we got a long way to go.
laazysusan there’s speaking out and then there’s playing the victim card! In this instance these black people in these videos displayed racist behaviour towards asians! They won’t admit it though by saying they’re racist but that they expect better, double standards.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Who is they ? They won’t admit it? It was a RACSIT thing to do. Of them but this doesn’t mean all black people are like that. These people in the video are ass holes
If it’s any consolation, black folks don’t have the “be happy you’re here” mentality because the majority of us did not choose to immigrate here. Our families were stolen and sold and forced to be in this country and we have been treated poorly ever since. So we have a different psychology. So, it’s only natural that your parents would teach you to be grateful.
Ebony May they as in Amanda and Loni, they have no problem calling out other races when they display racist behaviour towards blacks, by calling it racism. Amanda especially is just a germ, you can tell she is trying to be apologetic for her people and excuse their behaviour! Not all black people are racist but the ones In these videos are and all Amanda calls it is ‘unacceptable’ could you imagine her outrage if the shoe was on the other foot?
Loni, yes you have been talking about it on the show! But! Amanda brings a depth and an approach that was able to inspire A and Jeannie. I’m so glad she did because I’ve been wanting a Jeannie and A to open up more about their own cultural experiences surrounding discrimination. This season has been comprehensively better.
I said it I said it when they first added her to this spot alot were against her but not me I'm here for the history lesson and conversation about it. I wish this show would have audience participation more often not just playing games. I know they don't have much time
Thank you! I love that Amanda is able to provide context and is giving folks like Jeannie and Adrienne the language to describe things happening in their own communities. It was needed. Cause outside of jokes, neither really discuss their communities like that
@@brieoliver EXACTLY!
Loni is speaking FACTSSSS. people of colour all have the same struggle so why don't we all stick together
FALSE... PEOPLE OF COLOR DO NOT HAVE THE SAME STRUGGLE. Are there some things that are similar?
Yes. But comparing the BLK struggle to the Asian or Latino or Hispanic struggle is like comparing the
LGBT movement with the civil rights movement. Even "Bi-racil" people have a different struggle than
BLK people. We are not that inclusive of a society.
THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY IS VERY IMPORTANT before making such statements.
Emanual Carr I don’t think she meant the same LEVELS of struggles because some races have it worst then others but we all have the same struggle in general which is racism, is what I think she meant by that.
It sounds good but reality is.....A lot of (Not ALL so please don't @ me) other minorities think that blacks are the lowest class of people. That's why it's very important that we constantly uplift each other. I don't care if you are light skin dark skin or brown skin. Any form of discrimination racism or bullying I am not down with and it needs to get better. I realistically cannot say stop because it will never stop but I do hope it gets much better. Peace & love and God bless all of you.
Yesss!!! Black and Asians has so much tension because of stereotypes and I wish we can just all stick together as minorities!!
Emanual Carr Facts.
0:34 this shows that amanda doesn’t care when she mocked adrein like its not the time to joke around
That's bc she's pro black....No other race really matters to her!!!
I HATE black people like that. It pisses me off when they say black lives matter this that, but for others??? No. Because they think being black is superior in some way. As an African person, we are told to stay away from black american people because of this, and other cases of violence. Amanda is soooooooo quick to come for anyone saying anything against black lives matter, but is acting like a complete idot and joking around when it comes to other minorities. I'm so done with this.
What about you saying “I don’t know why it started?” on the white woman who taunted the Asians on that bus, Amanda?!
Mani Nedoow thank you
I'm glad u called her out on how she was low key being an apologist for those bullies

Or why they didn't talk about those countless video of Asian men store owner beating black women?

Oh God Loni damn let Amanda get her compliment geeezzzz 🙄🙄🙄 that rubbed me so wrong let the next women shine without inserting yourself so narcissistic

I'll say it again, she's annoying AF! Every time she opens her mouth I be like 🤫.
Raayden maybe the way she said things never resonated with Adrienne . Maybe the way Amanda breaks things down hits home for her differently and makes her get it
Fr I was thinking the same thing she’s such a attention seeker, she might just think Amanda’s a threat and try to to get her kicked off the show just like how she did t Tamar. Like this is not about what you it’s way bigger then you 😒
Amanda gon make black people the victim in this scenario
I blame the whites. They pitted us against each other.
jyn88 I was thinking the same the whole time.

Amanda was not speaking as passionate as she does when victim is black. She was not dropping factsss like she usually do.
That man was hitting that girl just because she is an asian.
Black people are Racist too.
Lol hater
@Alexandra love lol pure Racist YOU are.
And then you all expect to other races to stand up against the racism some time some black people experience, wat a Joke.
She was dropping facts: she acknowledged the racial tension between blacks and Asians, she acknowledged the similarity in treatment that Asians and blacks have faced in the US and that people care more about clout than helping others. Those aren’t facts? Jeannie was so passionate to the point of tears because this was clearly so close to home as the child of Asian immigrant parents. Amanda can only empathise and vice versa. Black people *can be racist* just like Asian people *can be racist*. Check out what’s happening to Muslims in China.
@Honey P you're a hateful bigot and a racist
And Jeannie didn’t cry about a 6-year old black child being arrested and traumatized. People are typically more emotional about people they share a culture with. It doesn’t make them racist and to suggest so makes you appear unintelligent.
I love Amanda being on the show, she has changed their girl topics. Its is more educational entertainment now, i look forward to hearing her speak her mind. I appreciate her influence on the ladies.
I just wish she would present it differently. Like all the twisted up faces she makes when the other women speak and share their thoughts is disrespectful to me. I think she thinks she's the smartest one in the room and that is very off-putting.
@@jerseygirl6221 I find her disrespectful. When she mimicked the arm gestures I felt it was inappropriate. As for mentioning the black and Asian tensions I felt that was disingenuous and scripted. Ironically, she's turned me off from watching because it's a whole different level of race talk. Balance is key. When I've visited the US I've found it racist on a level I've never experienced in the UK and it's pretty racist here too, just more subtle.
as a child i was sometimes also ashamed by my immigrant parents. now i am proud bc they raised me to be me and with an open-mindedness i would not otherwise have.
side note: adrienne is such a follower and not an individual with her own mind. she always looking / bringing up amanda in the discussion as if asking for her approval. like cmon sis, get it together.
I noticed that ,it's like she makes this big speech to impress Amanda
It is clear as daylight that Amanda was not as passionate as she would have been if it were a black elderly man. She blamed the history of this country and the society for their actions and did not once call out the perpetrators, who were black, for their racism and bigotry. I am an immigrant from Asia who had no prior exposure to different races in their country, and I had to learn about everything and taught myself to care for people who are different from me. I can't imagine my black co-workers or friends to ever go through hate crimes because of their race. However, Amanda doesn't look like she cares about us though!
To be fair though...I don't necessarily see Jeannie tearing up on black topics either..both Amanda and Jeannie positions are both understandable and appropriate.
@@QueenChastity Completely agree. It resonated differently with Jeannie because she envisioned her parents or Grandparents. That's perfectly okay to not have the same emotional passion as long as you can empathize.
@@QueenChastity True but if it was a black elderly man being assaulted and harassed by a group of Asians. I know damn well Jeannie will speak up against Asians and call her people out.
@@cloroxbitch2491 actually no, we have countless of video when Asian men beaten black women no one in the real ever mention none of them.
@@ElizabethHome153 where? Was it a bunch of Asian men beating a black women saying they hate black people?
Be just as passionate, Amanda, when a person isn’t black.
Tell that to Jeannie she’s never this passionate when the tables are turned
elisabella09 thank u very much !
elisabella09 she is .... but it’s cause Asians never get that energy or attention.
Tell that to Jeannie.
Love what Lani said! Praying for more humanity and less racism in this sad world!
Amanda always takes us to a history level and that’s what is needed. ❤️ So we learn, adjust, and grow.
Learn, adjust and grow? Seriously? She deflected...and that type of thinking keeps you in a box. That World War II story has ZERO relevance to what these men did. Black people can't make white people the scapegoats for everything. It’s 2020, we all need to take responsibility for our behavior no matter what color we are.
Olivia Leigh ... that’s a given, but to pretend this is an isolated occurrence feeds into dominate narratives that aren’t true.
It’s more like Amanda wants adjust for the black community only. She doesn’t care about any other race that needs justice.
Yes! Amanda EVERYTHING you said!!! Girl PREACH!!!
It’s great that Amanda is shining light on these issues. She’s educated with a voice, that is needed.
Agreed! I really loved her input on this
Lol why did loni hijack Adrienne's moment of complimenting/acknowledging Amanda's positive impact on her? 00:30 - 00:41 or is it just me?
Amanda should watch her back. You can tell after Loni did that Amanda felt some type of way.
I’m so glad they spoke on this. I completely understand Adrienne. Just be thankful you’re here is how a lot of us Latinos were raised and I’m sure it’s similar for Asian/middle eastern children of immigrants as well.
When I saw that video it made me really sad because u can see it in his eyes that he knew that he was being picked on by these people just for trying to help his family..it just really sad minorities are being racist to other minorities when we already live in a country tht looks down on us.
There is tensions between blacks and Asian Americans but this was uncalled for and he is and elder who couldn't defend himself.... Disgusting
No_clones&unknown86 Agree. The tension is there and is going to get worse if nothing is done about it.
@@toogeeky4u hope not
No_clones&unknown86 I hope not either. Just saw a poll taken recently that asked Asian American voters what their priorities were. While healthcare came in first, race relations came in last. It’s like, how are they going to address the anti-Blackness in their community and the tensions between the communities altogether if they don’t make it a priority?
@@toogeeky4u who cares if they don't just don't cry like a female when you get your eyes slapped straight
@Aaron Birook WTF are you talking about?!? My eyes are straight!
Loni, you've GOT to get over yourself smh. Let Adrienne speak about the positive impact Amanda has had on her without feeling the need to insert yourself and say what you've supposedly done. Especially when you've often missed the mark while speaking about topics related to the black experience in America. Please let your pride, ego, and insecurities take a backseat at LEAST once!
Melissa Johnson Loni has NEVER been as outspoken as Amanda has...alot of the time she had a wrong take any way lol
Melissa Johnson amen ❗️❗️❗️ that was so arrogant and narcissistic of her disgusting let the next women shine without inserting yourself
deirdrasj1 This! But she really tried to sit up there and act as if she has 😩😂🥴
Ashley williamson Exactly!
Yes shes been speaking out for years but loni often says her opinion with a comedic undertone as if shes not trying to take full blame for saying what she said and blame it on it being comedy as soon someone doesnt like what she said. I may not always agree but amanda with a straight face will stand in her truth. In my opinion loni has never came across as serious to me in how she articulates controversial topics
Racism not going to stop Racism ,now Jeannie explain that to Amanda
Amanda, the US has done this for EVERY SINGLE MINORITY. It’s not just Black & Asian tension. We should not be fighting each other. We should be fighting AGAINST the oppressor and the people that are making it so that we feel like isolating each other and not helping each other
Exactly!
Generally black people do not behave this way towards other races unless triggered, so I think you would need to address the lack of respect from the Asian community towards black people in the first instance before you “All lives matter” the situation
What Not To Do At a Stoplight Be more intelligent and specific in your response
Thank you Amanda for keeping it real!! I love your answer 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Adrienne for being inspired by us and it’s okay Jeannie it’s okay to speak up the anti BLACK and anti Asian in both communities need to stop within the community or outside the community people already don’t like us and us attacking our own kind ain’t it we need to have each other’s backs 🥺🙌👸🤴👑👑🤎💚
I really appreciate girl chat lately. Opened my eyes to so many things had I not watched them. Thank you to the Real.
That video really broke my heart. That is someone's grandparent and I cant imagine this happening to my own sweet loving grandpa. Its disgusting and unbecoming. And I hope to those people in the video that were mocking the guy to gain some education and harvest empathy. This is not right. We cannot do this to anyone.
Cindy Fernandez I hope they go to prison!!
@@powertech3813 yeah I wouldn't be as forgiving. Maybe he's afraid of ppl targeting him & his wife or something.
This was a valuable conversation, I appreciate all of your voices. I’m a brown woman and can relate to these experiences of inequality & prejudices, it makes upward mobility damn near impossible. I love all you ladies and you’re all my sisters. We’re in this fight together 💜🌻✊🏽
Love these ladies for speaking about these issues!!! 💚
I agree with Loni. I see that man as my grandpa!!!!!! I couldn’t imagine sitting around filming this smh.. also I like that Adrienne said Amanda’s standing out inspires her to stand out, that’s dope!
Amanda is a beast....she is very very intelligent. Her response made me smile.
Amanda, Adrienne & Jeannie have my whole heart! Always speaking FACTS!!
Speak everyone! So appreciative of this conversation on tv. So appreciative of the conversation of the elderly community regardless of race. Ease be to that sacred man, ease be. I heard Loni when she said she see her grandfather, all respect 🌿 I love this show now!
I didn't like Adrianne and Lonni dismisding the fact thst he wss attacked because he's ASIAN not hispanic or elderly. They totally lost the point and you can see Jeanie quite dissapointed.
@Karina Williams the same reason they pick the videos they pick 🤷♀️ double standard much .
“Well I been speaking out for years on this show” ... have you Loni?
THANK YOU Amanda! (And Jeannie for sharing) because I have been waiting for years to hear ANYONE in the world mention the Japanese internment camps in America. It’s almost NEVER talked about. Also, Amanda is well spoken and knowledgeable so when she speaks its resounding...which makes a big difference compared to others. I’m so glad she mentioned the tension between the cultures and why the issue even exists in the first place. Go Amanda! I’m here for all of it!
Adrienne's comment hit my soul. Just stay quiet and be glad you're here. That's what I was taught!!! Moving from one Caribbean island to another. When we migrated we were treated so poorly it's incomprehensible. Things have changed but those experiences scar and shape you in unfortunate ways
Let me go pray! Before, I say something negative!
Michelle Creamer I hear that!♥️🙏🏽
Yup
*did Amanda just try to blame the actions of those men from being in "survival mode"?*
julia you can acknowledge where someone’s emotions stem from without insinuating that it is okay. Amanda was doing what she usually does, add a deeper insight to the topic at hand...
She doesn't condone the behavior....
@Ang V And that's the reason the government lets out these viruses. For chaos. Then implement some type of rule this hating the people more for what they caused and the changes they brought on to them. A cycle of hate.
Yup!! And she managed to put the blame on white people without saying it ..
Vanessa _ Rachelle I yeah to me that was kinda sick and twisted. She smart and she knows exactly what to say to put less blame on her people.
I’m so happy Amanda brought up the tensions between black and Asian peoples/culture. I’ve seen so many in our community justify racism and mistreatment of Asian people in the same way that WE are mistreated. Make the elderly man black and those men white... it would be a hate crime, no question. We need to do better and keep the same energy speaking up for other minorities like we do ourselves. This behavior should not be tolerated toward any human being!
amanda always comin thru w the context!!!
I have so many friends from different ethnicities and every time when we get together all i can see is how so much alike we are.
It's so sad how this is happening even during all the bullying and taunting and racism asians got because the coronavirus which wasn't their fault. I feel like and I know that was part of the inspo to do such a thing. Also, yes be educated on each others culture and accept it. Also, be educated on how to respect and treat people. Adults should know right from wrong. This aint funny.
This is just sad! I don’t understand how people think they can get away with things.
I am glad this was captured so it brings awareness.
Jeannie,
You’ve been one of the FEW Asian-American celebrities addressing the rise of racism and discrimination against Asian-Americans due to COVID-19.
I would like to be part of the solution with regards to this matter. Thank you for being brave and courageous. I saw you and the women from The Real talk about this matter, and racism overall. I hope that as an Asian-American community we can stand in solidarity to fight this other virus: racism.
Im literally crying right now that was heartbreaking to watch
Amanda thank you for speaking up about the tension between minority communities. And this let’s video but not help culture is disgusting.
I think Amanda is what made me came back to this show, she is unapologetic and real. She is shining the light on educated women instead of all the loud talking that don’t solve anything that means or give knowledge, love you Amanda. Keep speaking from your heart.
May I just say I’m glad we can see you ladies speak on this topic. So people are aware that this happens to many different ethnicities. Because its true not right and needs to end but this happens to many types of cultures.
I support every color including Asians for real!!!!
Me too love!
Same
But do they support you tho?
Firstlady Chosen1 - Some.
Wow, Amanda really is very elegant with her words, I feel she adds a sophistication to the show
This is why it is so important to educate yourself on other people/cultures. Learn from them and open yourself up to something new so that you learn to appreciate what’s different and not be afraid of it.
Absolutely disgusting! Cowards abusing an elderly man and women! Shame on you and shame on the ones just standing there doing nothing to help. This isn’t a cultural misunderstanding or lack of education or culture, it’s a hate crime.
I'm so disgusted with the afro girl...
Wow 😯 preach AMANDA !!!! 👏 well said
I’m in tears rn. I feel so powerless unable to help this man. I don’t understand why our country hates something or someone they don’t understand. Just open your eyes and learn. This is killing us as a nation. Black, white, Asian, or even Purple hate gets us nowhere. I’m so heartbroken. 😢😢
All I can think about is my abuela and it makes me emotional. It's so sad to see people treat others like this. We are all humans, let's help each other not tear each other down!
Luv u so much Jeannie!!
Stop throwing money. Start holding people accountable for racist behavior.
LOVE THIS! We must ALL speak out !
Great point Jeannie, Racism is not gonna stop Racism
I really wish the tension between black folks and Asians were addressed more. A light needs to be shined on all perpetrators of prejudice on both sides. Guess who sits back laughing at the infighting of minorities?
EXACTLY. We are all pawns. Doing the dirty work of the big bad white man. UGH
Amanda has spoken about black issues and stood up for black people in her short amount of time on this show than Loni every has.
SPEAK on it LONI! I definitely see him as my own blood too. We’re in this together
I agree with Amanda so much. Capturing the situation via mobile phones, rather than helping out, is very upsetting. Like we should speak up for and help out any person being abused, regardless of race.
AMANDA and LONI UHHH! Stop saying “Elderly Abuse”, that man wasn’t assaulted because he was “elderly” , those thugs themselves said they “hated asians”!
I just wanna let other races/cultures know, that not all black people think this is ok or the race of the perpetrators doesn’t matter, loni was trying to dismiss the race card Amanda kept saying “ people need to stop this” “people this people that” NO, Black people cant be doing this and I believe Amanda and loni are to prideful and proud of who they are and there hardworking culture that they can’t realize that black people can play the role of perpetrators(when it comes to race) rather then the victim. BASICALLY what I’m trying to say is the race of the people who did tht to tht man should be in the conversation. I tried to word this correctly so please don’t come at me if I’m not making sense
thank you for that comment !
Fully agree Amanda love you and this makes me so sad man may god bless him fr
To be a first generation immigrant is to demand equality in a way our parents never dreamed of. My parents always told me to keep my head down but Im American and my voice will be heard.
