💯THIS

[@sweettee8110]

Love this!!! The first part of your comment has been on my heart for a while recently.

[@evolutia1]

I don't think history should or will be kind to her. She attacked Tamir Rice's mother because Shaun King was using her dead son's name to raise money that wasn't going to the family to help them. She said Jussie Smolett doing the hate crime hoax was "noble." Amanda spit in the face of actual victims of hate crimes by doing that. These big names like Marc Lamont Hill and now Jemele Hill defending Amanda and not reading the articles that point out these issues, is some Candance Owens level grift at this point. Amanda is ALWAYS on the wrong side of things. History is showcasing that she's not a good person and that's why people don't like her.

[@Freerider93]

Except Amanda has a problem with respect and accountability. Every single person she has had a professional interaction with has stopped interacting with her. There is a reason for that. Also she falsely accused a black doctor of sexual harassment.

[@tionak]

@@Freerider93both of these statements are untrue. Do some unbiased research and you’ll see what really happened vs. what you were fed and ran with.

[@Freerider93]

@@tionak No, I'm not doing any research on this filth. Amanda just needs to get off social media and become a hermit, because she will NEVER be forgiven for attacking a black man with false assault allegations.

[@MrMalcolm900]

The problem is she is very condescending, and rude, towards people that politically disagree with her. When she speaks on social and political issues half the time she doesn't know what she's talking about. She has a, "I'm holier than thou" attitude and she takes zero accountability in her role of why people dislike her. Amanda Seales is no victim and she wants people like you to throw a pity party for her.

[@soulsister1976]

Sometimes loving someone is telling them the truth about themselves so they can grow and be better.

[@loriwaddles306]

As a female, a successful African American female who has decisive, thoughtful opinions but who has also been afflicted with the disease of “she thinks she’s all that” and on the other hand being a people pleasing person JUST literally just to so-called keep the peace, Amanda is my spirit animal in that I LOVE that she is brave enough, bright enough and candid enough to share her articulate opinions and still brave enough to take the shyt that comes with it, cuz that shyt is HARD. Her voice is musical, informed and, again, brave. And I think she’s doing what the God’s have appointed her to do. My best friend is a Cancer and I’m a grounded Taurean. So, whatever you do, Amanda, KEEP GOING❤️

[@empresssk]

Same! Being smart and a people pleaser is the worst. I’m happy she’s brave enough for all of us!!

[@stevegordon7693]

Yeah go gurrrl. You just keep on falsely accusing Black men. Thats how you fight for the community. Still waiting on that apology.

[@MsShaunde]

I think society just doesn’t value intellectual, independent black women. They’re seen as a threat, instead of an asset. It’s sad that our community is #1 at attacking her, when she’s always been for us. Unfortunately people don’t realize what they have til it’s gone, cause she’s definitely a gem.

[@TheMagickHourZ]

yes

[@Freerider93]

I think there are a lot of intellectual black women people value. It's just that Amanda has an issue with disrespecting people and relationships. She also has a nasty habit of making false accusations against people publicly like when she falsely accused Myron Rolle, a Harvard educated black doctor and former NFL player of sexual harassment. Amanda might be smart but she is not a good person.

[@heathercampbell1560]

I love Amanda, she is so smart and I love watching her.

[@chiquitahodges]

​@Freerider93 She didn't accuse him of sexual harassment. She stated that multiple women shared with her that he did so with them.

[@Freerider93]

@@chiquitahodges You said that with your chest out like you said something. She directly accused him of being inappropriate in a phone conversation with her. That statement + saying 8 other women told you something is 100% an accusation from her directly. You can try to parse the words but everyone knows what she meant. Also when asked for more information on these 8 women she had nothing. No one ever came forward. Additionally Amanda says it's "low key noble" to lie if it helps your cause. No ma'am, please have a seat.

[@Freerider93]

I don't like hee because she falsely accused a black man of sexual assault.

[@jasminepotter1975]

No people have a problem with her from what she did to that young black man. How you all for the black community and stand up for out black women and men, and turned around and accused and destroyed a black man life. Accused him of sexually assault, abuse ect ect then offered an bullshit apology, because you got caught lying. Also its not you say it's how you say it. Her approach is always aggressive, and if you don't agree with her she gets very very aggressive and speak over people. Also every project she have been on it has always been a problem with her. At the end of the day, if you always in drama and drama follow you everywhere you go, then you are the problem point blank period. Alot of people don't want to deal with her, because they see how shit goes when she's around, so they choose to far away from her.

[@ebonyr.b.1216]

I’m still wondering what the hate is about. She voices her opinion and often times it’s in defense of the community. Is it just the typical “I don’t like her” hating? Or ….

[@ricecristi]

Amanda is a light, and roaches don't like when the light comes. And there's a lot of trash defending the roaches.

[@izzodapinnacle]

Likewise. Always loved her and I love a black woman who loves black ppl the way she does. And how she is unapologetic about her views. Stand on that business.

[@jman1562001]

Naw she came at Myron rolle crazy and made sexual harassment accusations that were patently false and based on hearsay. This among a few situations she interjected with knowledge that was proven false and messy. This type of behavior is dangerous and needed to be checked.

[@tonyhall1421]

I don’t doubt she loves her people. I think what turns people off is her brash in your face “take it or leave it” personality. She has made valid points in the past. Her delivery sucks sometimes

[@OHMYPUMKINPIE]

Ms. Seales is giving us so much education, love, and truth. And those are bitter pills to swallow when you are not living in an open space that is clear. The backlash is boring and predictable and those folks thought they would be able to pull this sort of crap and it would be acceptable and guess what it backfired because she is not the enemy, she is not the problem. She is living and sharing and I am here for it. All of it; God bless her and keep her strong. The clowns will be clowning. ❤ Mad love to her.

Amanda shines brightly on social media, radiating beauty and passion. While her love for candy corn might not resonate with everyone lol , her journey through grief truly resonates with me. Experiencing gratitude and personal growth amidst grief is profound. Her ability to channel her grief into positive energy, empowering herself and others, is truly remarkable. It's a journey only understood once experienced. She's a special soul, transforming her grief into something extraordinary. And taking the responsibly to not bring children into a world that has not made it easy to be a mother or a child is actually a selfless act

Thank you for holding us strong, talented, Blk + proud women down! Sry to hear about your miscarriage. You are so beautifully human and being that that experience made you recognize how trivial all of this other stuff in life can be. As a human tho, I understand the feeling of wanting acceptance from your own but pls know that there are SO MANY ppl who do accept you and are grateful for you and all that you do. But one thing I’ve learned in life is that you have to be there for YOU & hold yourself down.. b/c if you don’t, no one else will, except for God. And all the acceptance I need is within him. If you’re happy within yourself and love yourself, no one could ever stop you and your amazing energy. WE LOVE YOU BOO 😘♥️

Any black woman who is not afraid of the sound of her own voice, or has a moral compass that won’t allow her to bend to bs will encounter this form of hate from people who don’t stand in their own power… I think what I didn’t understand about the recent situation is being the type of person I described previously, why does Amanda still care???? Go where the love is and don’t look back… the same celebs you wanna be in a room with are basically all going to jail..

The problem with Amanda is that she fails to actually listen to WHY people do not like her and become likeable. She doesn't care to be a likable person. I see how she talks to people in her comment section. It turned me off just seeing it and I lost the little bit of respect I had left for her. It's likely that people stand with her message but just don't like HER. I used to be a brash person with pure intentions. I remember a friend telling me that I hurt their feelings and from that point I made it my business to consider my delivery because I cared about who I hurt. She has no desire to adjust b/c she's always right in her mind, it seems.

People describe Amanda Seales as being a polarizing figure because she is an outspoken black woman. There have been black rappers or famous black men in America who have said or done some bad things whether it's toward women or people in general, but they are still well-liked. Those men don't receive any or little backlash from the things that they have said or done that some people may see as offensive. So this is sexism pure and simple.

People didn't just decide not to like Amanda Seales. People didn't just wake up one day and say we don't like her. She's obviously very talented and intelligent. But its also obvious that she has a hard time dealing with people. And at some point she has to own that she's played a part in that.

Stay true to yourself, Amanda. Keep up the great work!

[@gshaunam51128]

Thank you for loving Black people Ms. Seales! I'm sorry for your loss. Another perspective... Your public responses (in my anecdotal survey) are received as (intelligent, but) immature. You're missing the peace that usually comes from consistent practice and is reflective of expertise. You are brilliant and beautiful. It's my guess that if you were to step back and look at the ingredients (tools/resources you have) with peace, you would reflect that peace and see clearer. People need peace. Sending you encouraging love ❤

When was this filmed?... Wasn't Insecure's finale in 2021?

[@syckindahead]

Yes, I think summer of 2021 based on the talk about the SFB show at the Apollo (which occurred Nov 2021).

At 24:10 discussing how Amanda is polarizing. I don’t see how people would think that she is. She speaks her mind and she is absolutely correct about the things she says

[@jeanc.5926]

@@CONEvtV SHE Is!!!

[@jeanc.5926]

@@CONEvtV You again!!!??? Amanda speaks what she knows i.e, lived experience, and she has a masters in African American studies, etc. While I don’t know everything she has said (I have other things to do, and others to listen to and watch) Amanda is not a wholly subsidiary member of corporate interests and speaks pure and utter facts. That’s why weak minded people have a problem with her

[@CONEvtV]

@@jeanc.5926 You again??? There’s a long list of weak people then. Everyone she’s worked with is the problem & not her. Okay. If you say so.

Truth and directness will always be at the other end of the spectrum of Mendacity covert moves. The road to righteousness is narrow but a lot of people wanna dance in a lotta truth adjacent lanes .

[@jeanc.5926]

@@paulatrent60 truth adjacent is what one say when the actual truth is something that they can’t handle but can’t call it a lie

I absolutely love these two women!
