She's being called a racist, misogynist, and a pick-me, and as a half black woman myself, I guess I got to listen to the comments and see if they're worthy of pulling out the pitchforks. Let's talk about it. Guys, before we get into today's video, please like and subscribe. Yes, today we're gonna be having an interesting conversation, one that we've never had on this channel. We're going to be talking about female anatomy because the story calls for it a young girl by the name of Esther, who's part of a podcast titled Under the Influence, made comments about black women and their female anatomy. Now these comments went viral. Black women are responding. Asian women are responding. People everywhere are responding to this girl trying to cancel her, calling her a racist, a misogynist, saying that she's saying horrible things about black women in order to bring them down so that she can be a pick-me who is loved by men. So let's watch her comments and see if they're worthy of all the outrage. You guys, I've had to say something kind of wild, but it's because I saw it somewhere, but I don't know if we might have to cut it out, but anyways, someone said that the reason why some girls *bleep* tighter than others is because, huh? Okay, so that is the clip in question. Now it seems like Esther had her instincts intact when she was talking about this, and she said, "You know what? We may need to cut this out." They didn't end up cutting it out. It did get posted, and now it's gone viral, and you know what? I don't think this is a conversation that necessarily needs to be cut out. In listening to her, it sounded like she was just curious about this topic, wanted to bring up the conversation, had heard this bit of information somewhere, and wanted to go back and forth talking about it. I don't see anything particularly wrong with that. It didn't seem like she was making fun of black women or trying to bring them down, being derogatory in any way, shape, or form. She might have been saying an ill-informed comment, which we're going to get to in just a little bit, but I don't think there's anything wrong with having these types of conversations. And the fact that she mentions, you know, maybe we should cut this out and just, you know, have the conversation outside of putting it in the podcast, is sort of telling. You know, these are conversations that amongst friends, we can talk about private things, we can talk about these sorts of ideas that we may have or have heard, and discuss the validity of them back and forth. There's nothing wrong with that. I don't think she was trying to vocalize her disdain for black women or say that there are lesser than or or make any sort of derogatory comparison between black women and other women, but it's being interpreted that way. And before we actually go into the research that I had to do in order to talk about this, which is crazy, I didn't anticipate having to look into female anatomy in this way, we're going to watch some responses, because of course Esther's getting hate right now for this. Let's watch. Hi Esther, under the influence podcast, can I see you in my office? Nothing pains me more, nothing makes me feel more disgusted, nothing twists my guts around, as much as seeing a fellow Asian woman speaking about another person of color like that. Okay, little dramatic twists your guts around. Really? Anyways, let's keep watching. I think I'm late on processing all of that because I just I couldn't bring myself to watch the full clip and I don't know. I think what pisses me off about all of this is like out of all ethnicities, out of all races, out of all genders, we should know Asian women know what that feels like. To be objectified like that, to be spoken about in such an explicit manner without anyone's consent is so humiliating. The dehumanization, because that's what you did. You dehumanized all black women. And for what? For why? To make a few men laugh? These are the same men that would speak about you in this explicit manner if you weren't in the room with them. I'm just unsure of what the goal was here. Were you trying to seem funny or trying to seem smart? Because you didn't either. Actual, funny or intelligent people never feel the need to push anyone else down in order to make themselves seem that way. They just are. We have first-handedly seen the ramifications of what happens when we speak about women of color this way. So if you or any of your buddies saw that clip, the thought how that was so funny. Hey guys, we should start a podcast. Cease. Post tense. I am begging. Do not go to Best Buy. Do not get those mics. What? Dehumanizing black women. And this got like thousands of likes on it. Tens of thousands of likes on it I think. This is crazy to me. If you just watched this response video without having known what Esther said, you would have thought that girl said to bring back slavery or something. At what point did she dehumanize black women in her rhetoric? These are okay questions to ask guys. We all know that there are differences in anatomy based on our race. We have variants and we can track that with different races. Why is it not okay to ask questions as to whether or not that impacts female anatomy? Now Esther might be a little bit off base, but it's okay to be off base if you're in the pursuit of discussion and hopefully truth. We can talk about these things. Now that you're hating on her trying to cancel her saying she's bringing down black women all because she made a comment like this, how is anybody ever gonna be able to voice their curiosity ever again? Now mind you, I don't think Esther was trying to share some profound bit of medical research that she read somewhere about the difference in female anatomy based on race, but it's okay to ask the question. And you know who's constantly asking themselves these questions every day? Scientists and researchers who do study female anatomy and they do study it on the basis of race. Now I don't think that researchers and scientists are asking themselves these questions on the basis of black men's endowments, but we could ask the question it's okay especially when we consider evolutionary processes and natural selection. Just because you got offended by her comment doesn't mean that it's not an okay thing to talk about, but let's move on and hear some more responses. Let me get this straight. I get to be dehumanized, experienced misogyny, experienced racism, be sexualized by all men including my own men in my race. I also get to be stereotyped as the angry black woman, ghetto, loud, ratchet, and happy-headed. Oh and lazy. And now we've added a new one. Now I also have to worry about men looking downstairs wondering how loose is it? Thank you Esther. Oh my gosh somebody give her the gold medal in the oppression olympics. She just listed all these different oppression points that she's dealing with I guess on a daily basis in her eyes and she had to go after Esther. If Esther's comment that she made on the "Under the Influence" podcast is a bit of racism that you've experienced, I think you're doing okay. It really wasn't that bad. In fact she wasn't saying that black women are inferior in any way, shape, or form. She was simply bringing up a topic and bringing up something she heard. It's so ridiculous to get upset over a comment like that. But I have a theory as to why this is happening. People are constantly looking for something to be upset about. In fact I think they get quite bored with life all around if they don't have someone to go after, to cancel, to call out, to make TikTok videos about. And Esther just so happens to be the person of the week and we will move on to someone else once somebody else makes another comment that people don't like to hear. Like my goodness the victim culture is crazy. We're gonna watch one more upset response to Esther and then we'll unpack what she said and my thoughts on this whole controversy. So black women have naturally deep wide set f*** because black men have big f***. Now if I get on here and say I know four of fact hers is built like a dead squid limb, smells like a gallon of garbage juice, two bottles of expired buttermilk ranch from the farmer's market, and a dead be shown freeze, I'm going to be a f***, right? It's okay to get on the internet and say crazy f***. But when you are saying crazy f*** for the validation of men, if you think that you have to be a dead brain dizzy f*** to get some f***. My sister you were trying too hard, they will f*** a tree. Next time just try shutting the f***. Okay I think we can sort of fill in the blanks for what else she was going to say in that video. What a crazy heated response to have to throw away comment on a podcast to me that is so unhinged you need to seek help. That's crazy. But people love this stuff. That TikTok that I just showed you got over 500,000 likes on it and counting because people are just sitting on the edge of their seat, waiting for the next person to be brought down, waiting for the next individual that they get to cancel based on two sentences they said on a podcast who knows when. Never mind that there are actual differences in anatomy that we can track with different races so it's not the stupidest thing in the world for Esther to say anyways. Did she come to the right conclusion? No it doesn't seem that way at least in the research that I've done and yes I actually had to research this topic because it's being talked about all over the internet because of this girl. But anybody who's taken a course in evolution or natural selection might one day think to themselves that there could be differences and variance in physical anatomy between races based on our proclivity to procreate with one another. In fact scientists and researchers are studying these ideas all the time. They're not necessarily writing in their abstracts that they heard that black men have big Ds so they want to see if it impacts black women from an evolutionary standpoint but trust research is being done. And I did look into the research I guess because Esther made me curious and all this uproar and backlash made me feel the need to confirm whether or not anything she was saying could be true. And in the studies there does seem to be some trackable differences in the female anatomy that they can find in different races. However there was a lot of information that pointed to the contrary of what Esther was saying that African American women have smaller measurements in many areas of the pelvis when compared to Caucasian women or Asian women. There were also some areas of the pelvis and vagina where they had larger measurements so do without what you will. All this to say it doesn't really matter whether or not what Esther said was correct or incorrect. It matters that she's allowed to say it and if you're so sensitive that a comment like that offends you it's probably work that you need to do internally not work that she needs to do. Now we can educate people and inform them when they make incorrect statements or we feel like they've missed the mark somewhere but we don't need to call them a racist misogynistic picme who hates black women. You're definitely being dramatic and I'll tell you why people are being dramatic about these comments is because they're looking for comments like this. They want to be offended. They want to feel oppressed. It confirms the narrative that they have in their mind about them on the basis of their race and being a woman and Esther just sort of played right into that with this maybe ill-informed comment but it ain't that big a deal. She made an honest mistake if we can even call it that and she gave these women exactly what they want. More time to talk about their oppression and how hard it is to be a woman or how hard it is to be black or how difficult it is to be a member of the Asian community so how dare another Asian bring down another POC individual. Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break. So yeah Esther did nothing wrong and I'm a half black woman saying that if that matters at all since we're all trying to pull our black card these days. You know what I hope she gets out on the other end of this and she can continue to do her podcast. She's getting a lot of hate right now. I was looking through her old videos on TikTok and it's just people flooding her with comments talking about how they hate her. She's disgusting. She's racist. They could never make me like you. All those comments just being flooded and of course she's not posting but hopefully she can see her way on the other end of this controversy because like what? It's ridiculous that I even have to make a video about this guys. I'd love to hear your thoughts comment them down below. As always if you disagree with anything I said in this video do get out in the comments down below but do so respectfully and if you like this video like subscribe click the notification bell to be notified every single time I post a video for you guys which is every day and I will see you guys tomorrow. What an interesting thing to have to research. Bye! yeah you better!
