Clips from #BlackAF (2020) - hard to believe, but still because of slavery (S01E01)

"That is Lavette, my publicist."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Hi! Hey, girl. Hey."
#BlackAF (2020)
"-[Joya] She's the best. -You have a publicist?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"I do. She's very expensive."
#BlackAF (2020)
"It's all relative."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Relative to what?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"You know what, girl? I'm coming over there."
#BlackAF (2020)
"[Drea] So..."
#BlackAF (2020)
"do you have a publicist?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"Of course I don't have a publicist. Why would I need a publicist?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"["New Generation" by The Universals playing]"
#BlackAF (2020)
"Okay, I may need a publicist,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"but your mom does not."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Social media is out there, right? Whether you like it or not."
#BlackAF (2020)
"So that means your name is out there."
#BlackAF (2020)
"So it's my job to get in front of the story,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"to help you create your own narrative."
#BlackAF (2020)
"It's a burgeoning new business. Kind of like poke restaurants."
#BlackAF (2020)
"-With an accent. -Oh, really? Is that how you pronounce it?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"Pretty sure."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Anyway, I represent two of the wives"
#BlackAF (2020)
"of the defensive linemen for the 49ers."
#BlackAF (2020)
"I also represent a few NBA wives,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"Steve Harvey's first wife."
#BlackAF (2020)
"And I'm also meeting with his second wife. We're gonna meet at the Soho House."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Yeah."
#BlackAF (2020)
"All right, so Jo, you're a wife, a very accomplished corporate attorney,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"and now you've got this fantastic book coming out."
#BlackAF (2020)
"So sometimes I like to do a mock interview with my clients,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"just to make sure they're game ready."
#BlackAF (2020)
"So why the second act and why now?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"What the fuck did you just say to me?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"Why now?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"my mom had gone full Dad."
#BlackAF (2020)
"You never want to go full Dad."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Is that what you said? I'll tell you "why now.""
#BlackAF (2020)
"Because black women never get a chance to have a second act,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"which makes sense if you think about our first act,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"because that was crazy."
#BlackAF (2020)
"We were basically brought to this country to breed, and that's it."
#BlackAF (2020)
"It was like real life Handmaid's Tale."
#BlackAF (2020)
"[Joya] And the civil rights movement was no different!"
#BlackAF (2020)
"But it came with the cost of us missing out on the feminist movement,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"Were we going to be black or were we going to be women?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"which is what we always do."
#BlackAF (2020)
"We've always had to be pragmatic even when we're dreaming."
#BlackAF (2020)
"It's fucking exhausting."
#BlackAF (2020)
"For white women, the idea of being a kept woman"
#BlackAF (2020)
"has been around since the beginning of time,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"and it's "Oh, my God! It's a black woman"
#BlackAF (2020)
"someone wants to love and take care of. Give me a camera!""
#BlackAF (2020)
"Next thing you know, there's like seven TV shows about it."
#BlackAF (2020)
"So you want to know why I'm going to take my second act now? I'm gonna tell you why."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Because this is the first time in history"
#BlackAF (2020)
"that we have had the opportunity and the freedom"
#BlackAF (2020)
"to be doctors, to be lawyers, to be senators,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"to even run for president."
#BlackAF (2020)
"if I can break through, if I can accomplish one of those things,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"you better believe I can do"
#BlackAF (2020)
"whatever the fuck I wanna do afterwards, okay?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"Okay."
#BlackAF (2020)
"I mean, the other option is you could just say..."
#BlackAF (2020)
"you're looking for a new challenge."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Or "No comment.""
#BlackAF (2020)
"-[Lavette] Yeah. -Yeah, I don't think talking is"
#BlackAF (2020)
"the important part."
#BlackAF (2020)
"It's the book."
#BlackAF (2020)
"The book."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Really doesn't get old."
#BlackAF (2020)

#BlackAF (2020)
"Oh, man, you know what?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"-Too funny. -I got a really good one too."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Yeah. Yeah."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Just click on the glove right there. And watch what happens."
#BlackAF (2020)
"-Look at that. -[all] Oh!"
#BlackAF (2020)
"-[laughing] Right? -[all reacting]"
#BlackAF (2020)
"-[Broadway] That's kinda dope. -[Nelson] Exactly, like that."
#BlackAF (2020)
"-Half of it gone. -Yeah, just like the movie."
#BlackAF (2020)
"-What? -Those dudes are nerdy as hell at Google."
#BlackAF (2020)

#BlackAF (2020)

#BlackAF (2020)
"-[sighing] -My God, there's 34 million results."
#BlackAF (2020)
"-[Nelson] Yeah. Oh, my God. -This isn't better than Thanos?"
#BlackAF (2020)

#BlackAF (2020)
"[exhaling]"
#BlackAF (2020)
"[Jerome] It's just--"
#BlackAF (2020)
"[Mikayla] Oh, we don't care about this stuff, right?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"-[Leeza] Of course we care. -It's just not hilarious."
#BlackAF (2020)
"-[Mikayla] Interesting. -We're not gonna write about it today."
#BlackAF (2020)
"You-- You keep us hostage to your wokeness."
#BlackAF (2020)
"-Like we're-- -That's perfectly put."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Don't get me wrong. Mikayla is awesome, you know?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"She's really smart, she's cool, she's super cute."
#BlackAF (2020)
"[sighs]"
#BlackAF (2020)
"If there was one little thing I would change,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"it's her entire and complete approach to life."
#BlackAF (2020)
"I mean, seriously, she hates it. She hates life."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Why would you even become a comedy writer?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"But I mean, she's great, and super cute."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Why do I keep saying that?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"Let's get back to work."
#BlackAF (2020)
"-Seriously, let's get into the story. -[Nelson] All right."
#BlackAF (2020)
"-My God. -[Kenya] We've been here for two hours."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Yeah, it's time to work."
#BlackAF (2020)

#BlackAF (2020)
"Um, okay."
#BlackAF (2020)
"-If you have to. -Oh. Uh..."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Well,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"I mean, I-- I guess I could see if my husband could go instead, but I..."
#BlackAF (2020)
"No. No, it's-- it's-- It's fine. Seriously."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Are you sure? Because it kind of doesn't feel fine."
#BlackAF (2020)
"Leez, it's fine. Look, I get it."
#BlackAF (2020)
"You're a mom who has a job and you're trying to manage both of them."
#BlackAF (2020)
"That's admirable, you know what I'm saying?"
#BlackAF (2020)
"You're not managing this one, you know, great, but I feel like--"
#BlackAF (2020)
"I'm also into the fact that you probably made an agreement with your husband,"
#BlackAF (2020)
"and you're sticking to that, which is super great."
#BlackAF (2020)
"I respect that, trust me."
