i was wondering what happened to kwee but she dropped tea  :mmyulost:
shes the one who kinda put them on a larger viral map by draggin tf outta bruno mars.

her allegations:

- they kicked her off the show without an email or phone call...ghosted her

- they didn't like that she's TOO focused on black-americans and not other groups of black people (she accuses them of being anti-black american...context: the show's creator /main host is from nigeria and the co-creator <donavan> is from jamaica)

and she dropped even more tea in the description section of her vidya:
bitch ...this "and another thing!" mess owt! she meant BUSINESS. sfsfsfsf

QuoteAnother thing y'all don't know is people on that platform were encouraged to lean into our roles as the 'conservative,' the 'villain,' the 'radical,' etc and then thrown under the bus if it didn't go over well. For example I was told to come in late and slap the table during the Black Panther episode, when people said I was 'angry' or 'doing too much,' did the show runners take responsibility for telling me to do it? No. They can't deal with conflict and run from messes they created, blaming it on other people and throwing them under the bus while claiming to be pro-Black. It's a weird and fake platform. Now y'all know.

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

I was just recently thinking about her after seeing the new Black Panther and remembering how she felt like Black American woman were poorly represented in the first one.

I definitely believe what she's saying because it was clear how they had that one Haitian dude on there as a conservative who always went against the grain and EVERYONE else was always dragging him. It got annoying and predictable after a while

!!!!

he immediately came to mind. i def got a sense that he was purposely rocking the boat with his comments

but i mean u have people who don't need a push or a script to do what he was doing
the whole "yeah i said it ! now come get meh! lmao!!!  :cheerup:  " routine.

sfsfsfsf so it never really crossed my mind that they actually ENCOURAGED it. or gave him that role.

my assumption was that they simply welcomed diversity in opinion regardless of how controversial and edgy
to make for more interesting chats.

I don't think they really PUSHED him to do it though. I just think they kept inviting him on every time knowing he's going to conflict with everything everyone else said.
It's good to not just be a big echo chamber of ppl agreeing with each other all the time but they could've had different ppl who actually came with good points. Dude was being disruptive for nothing
