Amanda Seales on Career Evolution, Black Voters in 2024, Diaspora Dynamics & the ULTIMATE Nerd Test!

[@layladot7431]

I love how you always have her back. The support is genuine mashaAllah

[@SilkyySmooth]

Great interview. Much respect to you Marc for giving Amanda a positive space to be in and highlighting her achievements. Amanda, I'm always in awe of your intelligence and passion. Thank you both for continuing your work for the community despite how toxic and harmful the community can be.

[@papertags]

😂 she's a refection of the "community" in every way.

[@Mista-Catt]

A regiment of Haitians (Santa Domingo at the time) fought in the American Revolution, not the Civil War. During the Civil War, there were hundreds of thousands of Black American soldiers who signed up to fight and they were the turning point that helped the North win the war.

[@sleepyccs]

The people in that regiment were white Frenchmen that lived in Santa Domingo not Black Haitians.

[@Bay_Area_Content]

They were in insignificant numbers and never saw the frontlines

[@Blackrooted96]

The Haitians did not fight in the civil war that was the revolution war 1775 not 1861-1865. That’s a misnomer.

[@sleepyccs]

The people that came to the USA from Haiti that fought in the Union Army were Black Americans. In his book "The Crime Without a Name: Ethnocide and the Erasure of Culture in America", Barrett Holmes Pitner mentions that two of this male ancestors left South Carolina and moved to Haiti in the early 1860s. They stayed for a year and returned to the USA to enlist in the Union Army when the Civil War started. A regiment from Santa Domingo made up a white Frenchmen fought in the American Revolution on the side of the anti-British revolutionaries. France and Britain were rivals.

[@luciousscotch5837]

Explain the Louisiana Purchase and the founder of Chicago.

[@TooMuchMoneyT]

Amanda saying how Haitians fought in the civil war (which isn’t true) is exactly why FBAs are delineating. Even if that was the case, why are you trying to take credit away from the 99.9% just to give credit to 1% and act like we did it together 50/50 or as if we owe anyone.

[@troybass]

FBAs delineate me please.

[@michaelg3573]

FBA is here to stay. FBAs should've started gatekeeping our culture a long time ago, but it's even more important now that there are so many Caribbeans and Africans here. We aren't the same, we have distinct histories, and distinct claims. Delineation is a must so our group isn't washed away like the founding Anglo-Saxon Englishmen. That group didn't delineate and they got washed away into a mixed (i.e., Irish, Italian, etc.) blanket Whiteness. We're not gonna let that happen to FBA.

[@hanahil]

There was missing audio for a chunk of the video. Otherwise loved hearing viewpoints from 2 prominent and intellectual black voices. Please do more content together, it’s such a great vibe.

[@hippyvan]

26:50 funny, you weren't talking like that when you had Yvette on, and why aren't you talking about the disrespect coming from the carribean side, Busta rhymes and kai cenat saying "black Americans don't have culture"? Very strange. Why ask this question in such a loaded; leading, softball fashion? Are you afraid to evoke the ire of a seales meltdown? They're just words Hill. Be real, give black americans a fair shake in diaspora discussions. Very strange, Sir very strange.

[@sr-xv4hi]

It seems that Marc is a great friend and gentleman. 🙏🥰❤️

Amanda Seals has created a legacy of complaints. Did nothing EVER go right for her EVER. If others do wrong, they do wrong… but that can not become your career mantra..How about this, just do RIGHT. That will show them!

Did Marc say we don't need anymore Urkel's??? We absolutely need more Urkel's, it's the only time in black entertainment that a nerd was popular and sexy??!!! We have enough delinquent and ghetto archetypes.

[@ceceliacharles4570]

Many women get intimidated by intelligence. We need to learn how to be sympathetic, nice, compliment and go learn something new daily. Amanda is so sweet and people just need to understand her.

[@DoshonFarad1914]

"Smartest most informed"? Where in kindergarten?

[@SpiffidyKeen]

Amanda has had some hot takes, for sure. I've seen her avec l'air fou in some interviews where she was just really rude and giving off a vibe of one affected by delusions of grandeur. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt because we all make mistakes and sometimes our mental health can get away from us, but I can understand why some people might not necessarily be equipped with the understanding to afford her the same grace.

[@dope03pope]

@@DoshonFarad1914 I know right lol she seems to look really impressive to certain people who ( no disrespect intended ) aren't super informed on these topics . but if you are an ACTUAL politically literate , history , politics buff ........she is just not serious

[@BrideOfJaffa]

She's a black educated woman with a voice. Of course people hate her online.

Marc ought to be ashamed to let her tell that lie about Haitians fighting the Civil War. When you agree with stuff like that, it makes the rest of your stuff side eye

[@AColler-d5m]

I really enjoyed the podcast she did on Milli Vanilli recently. Not just that the substance was interesting, but her delivery made it more fascinating. It would be nice to hear her do a deeper dive into the black studies aspect, even on another platform.

[@ttmazz1]

Acknowledging your own lineage like everyone else do in The Diaspora is a war on The Diaspora?

Congratulations, Amanda. So happy to hear about this new venture because the last time I saw you with Marc you expressed concerns about your future and whether you'd be hired or given opportunities from anyone.

[@yoreomerey1753]

Unfortunately Amanda lost me during this series of media blips. I find her smart but unwise, I think she needs a Maxine Waters or Nikki Giovanni as a mentor. Waters is wise, bold, and graceful when necessary. Amanda literally got next but runs from accountability . The culture needs her . Stop running when people hold her feet to the fire, avoid victimhood, woe is me verbiage. We need a fighter in this space. She doesn’t need to run off her resume EVERY TIME. What’s your plan or vision for the culture, which cross are you about take up? Where we going with it boo!

[@tsingletary6311]

I like her perspective and appreciate her commitment to Black entertainment. She's an entertainer and her lane is promoting visibility of Black wit. But, she's not a movement organizer, activist, politician, or thought leader imo. And that's ok to embrace. She keeps running down her whole damn resume 'cause on every video I've seen with her as a guest in the last few months, folks in the comments say: "wHaT dOeS sHe EvEn Do AnYwAyZ??" Is it more wise at this point to let those who actually care just go look at her IMDb? Yes! Do I understand her thinking it's necessary to defend her body of work? Also yes.

[@cynthiabrown50]

Maxine Waters? Please
