Great Radio show. Continue to put in the work SIS...no need for any validation from any black spaces that may not appreciate or recognize what you bring to the table ...you speak for the people and in return those people will honor you by supporting and uplifting your platform. I know I'm a fan...continue to do the work we luv you SIS....peace.

[@Browncutiepie]

Amanda, we see your value and love you for it! I discovered you on Insecure and have followed you since then (I'm a proud owner of a "Not Today Not the One" T-Shirt😂). You definitely deserve to be in those spaces but whether you're there are not, we love you and all you stand for! ❤️

[@truthbtold8697]

Yeah like she saw Myron Rolle's value when she lied and claimed he sexually harassed her just to admit that she lied

[@egresham02]

I have experience similar behavior from fellow Black people. At first, I found it bothersome but now I just I realize certain people are not my people (I do interact with Black folks I click with). Like the saying goes not all your skinfolks are your kinfolks. You are doing wonderful and expanding into new amazing spaces.

[@thethreeladiespodcast]

You, Katt Williams and all the real ones don’t get invited…GODS rejection is GODS protection!! Stay you sis..stay woke ❤

[@feedthebeastcordellpace]

Some of the biggest and well known industry HATERS reside in Black Spaces. It's systemic💨

Kinfolk and Skinfolk- two very different things… Love your work!

[@excaliber8713]

i think you're a realist. They can't handle that

[@mikec5641]

They didn't invite me either.... This was an opportunity to have real discussion about self worth not being tied to public acknowledgement

[@DeeJones3001]

That’s crazy. You should be invited.

[@sickvokals]

Sorry but Amanda ruffles feathers on both sides of the fence. Accountability is fluid for Amanda. They don't want that. The public loves her though

[@TNDCBaby]

Which fence?

She's not necessarily pro-black, but she's definitely a Democrat and a flaming liberal.

Wow, I’m glad this showed up in my KZbin feed. I had no idea Amanda had a radio show. Or that she was a comedian. Enjoyed her in Insecure tho, so thanks. Get her in more Black spaces y’all 👍🏽

[@angelaburns5432]

@amandaseales You're much appreciated, and I think you are truly brilliant!

[@MissSifisa]

Get over yourself and stop feeding your ego. None of that matters. The focus is your intention and message.

[@LVPNJ]

🤔I mean at this point, why go? They’ve already shown their feelings about you. I would think it would be more important to be recognized by the people who support you. We (Black people) can get very flaky when we are controlled by white dollars. Sometimes we feel forced to turn on our own to keep in good graces. That’s just us not knowing our worth. LMS”

[@MindEmancipationist]

People who uphold the system don't like truth tellers. We will always have Black people and other POC, especially in influential positions, who will align with W supremacy and the 1% to maintain their position, privilege and uphold the status quo at the expense of everyone else. Not all skinfolk r kinfolk. They whether stay silent and uphold the system then do what's right. #statusquo

[@dtayism]

You have aggressive all know it energy and not everyone can handle ya girl. You don’t need them and they don’t need u. That’s what it is. Never go where you are not invited. Number one rule.

[@happygucci5094]

I would say assertive rather than aggressive but totally agree and yeah it’s like Nina Simone says “ If you sitting at a table where live ain’t served get up and move Sis!” ( That was definitely me- paraphrasing Nina Simone and ducking it up 😬😂🤦🏽‍♀️)

[@swannoir7949]

If she can curb that, she'll be fine. That's an honest critique. I know, because I use to be that way.

[@Aka326]

Sure

[@DrColzetteHoy]

Amanda, Stay focused and “keep your eyes on the prize”. Some “black spaces” are NOT ready for you. You will always be Black Girl Magic. We love you and appreciate you!

I respect you and retrospect on important subject matters. Keep it real “daughter in my head”

[@emperorjonez7213]

Unfortunately the arts are fickle like that. Just do what you do and do your thang, girl.

[@musicalmist77]

IMO, I think Amanda has valid points and there's nothing wrong with wanting that validation and appreciation by your peers, by your community, and by media platforms like BET, Essence, etc... BUT there are many, many stories and experiences of Amanda's rudeness, nastiness, and disdain that can't be ignored. Several things can be true at once. I think people within the industry (specifically Black Hollywood) may have their reasons as to why they don't provide Amanda the same access, opportunities, or regard as they once did. I think moving away from the industry, as she stated, is a poignant take. It may be time to move on. The people that gon' rock with her, are gon' rock regardless! And I hope she does some self reflection cuz everybody ain't wrong. There are valid critiques on how she moves. She has to take some accountability.

[@TheAmandaSeales]

Please tell me the many many stories. I'll wait.

[@TNDCBaby]

Really? I've only heard the stuff with the party and PR person. Spill the tea.

[@musicalmist77]

@@TheAmandaSeales IMO, I think that you should reflect on the people you've encountered along your personal journey (not just in Hollywood), instead of asking me to provide proof of a public topic. As I stated before, several things can be true at once - you deserve to be validated and appreciated in the spaces that you've contributed to and worked hard to develop/cultivate, AND you should consider emotionally healing from the disdain, rejection, and grief of not being validated during this time (and possibly other times) in your career, AND you should be accountable for harm you've caused. We're imperfect beings; deal with your stuff and move along.

[@Luvurselffirst]

I don't feel like they are black spaces. I feel like they are WS spaces that some blacks think are theirs. Amanda, you dont subscribe to any of the ideologies. You stand for many things and others are intimidated and fearful of that.

[@happygucci5094]

Preach!!

[@lovelyTee2126]

Nobody wanna go to the BET Awards anyways

[@turquoisepurple7sky151]

Because we do not value ourselves. They brought in hip hop to bring in more young people. Then, it turned against them, it became messy because the type pf music of the 90's, 80, 70, is not creating rwvenue anymore because life is life, but this new breed of artists are weak in life, song, patience, love and does not have that chucrh background, meaning anointing.

[@valerieadams2020]

Hmmm

[@Ah-LeeSays]

But…if the industry is what you describe it to be, why do you care to be validated by it? Amanda needs to touch grass. It’s giving ego. Does she do this for the fame or nah? And why is she acting like ALL black people go to these events🙄 I think Amanda is feeling super left out and it’s hitting her that she’s no longer apart of the industry that she has repeatedly declared that she can’t stand🤔

[@ren4893]

It's glorious watching this woman live in the irrelevancy she put herself in, and still trying to play victim, which is what got her out in this position to begin with 🤣🤣🤣

[@n.b.4125]

you're in the wrong industry. you want to be intellectual and learned but at the same time you're floating in those circles where knowledge does not matter. get out! lol

Nah. It's a lot of smart folks and entertainment and protest has had overlap gor quite some time. She's where she needs to be. Gotta have that creative outlet too.

[@humbleshapes1137]

Gas-light much??? 😂 just nonsense

[@SaccoMabowles]

Some people just don't like grifters who rant about the injustice of not receiving awards and recognition for making content about real activism, while they also have the nerve to compare themselves with Angela Davis, Malcolm X, Kwame Ture, and MLK. It's parasitic, and as a former fan, I started noticing red flags when you started the interview with Mansour Shouman overacting how speechless and moved you were. It was disrespectful, and childish, and then the rest started to make sense. The bridgeburning, the badmouthing everyone in your past, the complaining about not receiving activism awards, the questioning people's qualifications and education whenever you'd be questioned or doubted, and a whole lot of things that indicate your issues are pathological. Not a bad person, just that narcissistic. Hopefully you get help, awards, or whatever calms you down sooner and more effectively.

[@didierarteis]
