[@bec7080]

Ok my phone autocorrected her name to Honda and I just kind of want to leave it that way. I usually am the biggest on even encouraging others to be outspoken about their own names but the way she was just sent me so I'll let my phone insult her. Anyway, Honda was the worst. Up until when she went off on Joe I kind of figured that she came off as a spoiled child but going off on a dude that was just honest about what he needed and quietly sat in a corner until she said that "he just looked like he didn't like her" and then flipping out because he correctly pointed out that she made an assumption about him. I mean, I thought when Honda surveyed the room and saw multiple other POC, including two other Black folks, that it was pretty ballsy to START with "I'm Black in America" as your trump card but it really did not do her persecution complex justice like staring down the quietest person in the room and telling him to be quiet 🤣 I don't know that she's Muslim, there's lots of religions that cover their hair. But let's say that if that's what it is she could have started with "I'M A BLACK MUSLIM WOMAN IN AMERICA AND THAT SUCKS" and it would have been like, yeah i can see how it be that way. But you can't go for the low hanging fruit like she did. I try to be cautious about saying someone has a persecution complex but if you don't have one and you can both 1) say you deserve something right off the bat for the struggles that other people in the room are also facing and 2) get mad at someone who is just literally in the room with you because you don't like the face they are making just existing in the room with you; then I don't know what else to call it. (Chris made the same mistake too, he really held on to his race only. He should have really played up that he's a gay man and no one else in the room knows how hard it is to be a gay Black man, who is now unemployed. Now, there is some truth in this because queer Black men are heavily discriminated against, however I think he said he's been unemployed for 30 days. It's kind of far fetched to say that anything is really playing against you at 30 days unemployed. ) I'm not saying that these people should have all used their sex, gender, race. Religion, or sexuality to win the thing. I'm just saying that if they were going to try they should have done it right and with CONVICTION. You can't go halfway.

I think it steems from misogyny. lesbians don't center men in their lives, but thats a different topic.

I have no community and I am discriminated by either side. Also for Jordan to be like “hispanic isn’t a race” to discredit her is rude. Hispanic and Latino are ethnicities. And more of a racial identity (I’m Hispanic and Latina, it’s just complicated and not clearly defined). Mexican and Latino isn’t a race but would you say a Mexican American doesn’t face racism because it’s not technically a race?

@@illwill1991 why would the amount of time he’s unemployed matter lmao. Especially if he was given notice before losing his last job, he’d have even more time in the job search

[@cancelledavac]

The “I’m Hispanic” killed me. Ilah also said Joe was being discriminated against for being a straight white male which means he “has virtually no struggles.” It’s 2023 and people still think white privilege means you don’t have struggles. Also, he didn’t specify about anything in his life he just said “I need my car fixed” lol. That being said Ilah deserved that money.

[@01neveroddoreven10]

She was responding to him saying "they tell me I'm not qualified because I'm black". I call bs on that, no way a job is going to straight up say "we won't hire you because you're black" even if that is the reason.

[@baintreachas]

@@01neveroddoreven10 I think his sentence structure was “they tell me they can’t hire me [because I’m black]” not “they tell me [they can’t hire me because I’m black]”. I.e. not “A tells me the following message: A cannot do X because Y” but rather “A tells me the following message: A cannot do X. This is because of Y.” Also, it’s edited, so it seems like they cut some middle part that made it clearer, like “they tell me they can’t hire me because I’m not qualified, because I’m black” or something

[@smrithimenon5240]

[@bec7080]

I replied to someone else and I think she legit has a persecution complex and the only thing worse than being persecuted to someone like that is not being addressed at all. And he called her out for making an assumption about her and that is even worse. I don't know if you noticed in her intro she was like "I'M SAVING THE WORLD" and I don't think that she liked that he wasn't at all interested in the drama happening and didn't buy into anything going on.

[@gabri5653]

I think this is the first time I've ever disagreed with Jordan's judgment but I completely understood why Ilah was crying. They were being so cruel and just making it personal and yelling over each other, I was getting upset and overwhelmed just watching it, she should have won because she (and Joe) where trying to be genuinely empathic and hear out why everyone needed it to make the best choice and the others just wanted to tear others down until they were the last people standing

[@anniebonus7530]

This is so crazy because usually in these videos everyone is being overly nice and trying to win over everyone else but everyone in this one was just awful. I have never felt so tense about something I was not in the room for.

[@DiMagnolia]

The way Cut and Jubilee and other shows like this completely exploit the most marginalized communities is so vile. Like they could easily give each person $1000 from all the views they get. This group of people in particular was vicious though, other than poor Ilah getting overwhelmed as I surely would.

[@treyk7460]

Jordan I'm usually on your side when watching these reacts (I think you usually have pretty nuanced, empathetic takes on things like this) but I think you were super harsh and insensitive towards Ilah for crying. I was disappointed to see how you responded to that part, especially with how open you've been with your own mental health experiences. As someone who also get's _incredibly_ anxious and overwhelmed with confrontational atmospheres it's not something that you can help nor is it something you're trying to do for attention. She was the youngest (and arguably the most in need) person there who was being relentlessly bullied by a group of *adults* who were behaving incredibly callously towards not only her but everyone in the room. It was very obvious that she was upset by the way they were willing to treat each other for the sake of the money and didn't want to partake in spite of genuinely _needing_ said money herself (pretty badly by the sounds of it). Hell, even *I* got weepy and overwhelmed just watching it from the safety and comfort of my own home, so with the length of filming and the atmosphere there in person I don't understand how that's not something you could empathize with her for (even if it wouldn't be _your_ response). She's a very sweet, sensitive person so personally it hurt my heart to see her break down on camera, I can't imagine mocking her for it. Hopefully it's something you'd learn from and approach with more kindness in future.

[@leonie2194]

[@toastshine]

It didn't sound like mocking to me, I thought he was just asking? I was also thrown off initially because the crying seemed to come out of nowhere and it took me a minute to piece together why

[@addie-m4v]

imo the girl that started crying could've just been overwhelmed, and could've been holding back for a while and then just starting to cry. Of course there is likely editing that can easily make it more confusing. I know I have had times where I would start crying in an overwhelming situation even if what is immediately happening didn't directly cause the crying to start. Also they were getting on her case to not stop crying like? what did they want? The last part abt them getting on her case for not using the child-card but then getting on the other lady's case for using it. this is a mess

I was there for the stream and i’m still shocked to this day they managed to find so many incredibly awful humans

[@peachybeestudios]

Honestly $1000 is not worth making yourself look like shit online and publicly for everyone to see. I feel like every single person in that group (except maybe Joe and Ilah, but they were to a lesser extent) we’re incredibly antagonistic and rude about the struggles people were going through. They have their own issues to sort out which is understandable but it doesn’t give them the right to bring others down and basically go “Okay but that’s not valid because I’m going through more.” The premise itself is harmful and dangerous but the way that everyone was so ready to hold a knife up to each other is CRAZY. They literally laughed in Ilah’s face for getting overwhelmed and crying, then mocked her for having a child and not using it as some sort of like “ULTIMATE REASON”, no one should have to do that.

Yeah, as the often misquoted saying goes: "For a love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." From The Bible, 1 Timothy 6:10. I just relatively recently found out that this is the actual saying that everyone and their mother quotes as "Money is the root of all evil," which is oversimplified to the point of completely missing the point of the saying and shifting the blame to something other than human weaknesses and desires. Just felt like sharing that trivia which I found pretty kewl and this seemed like an appropriate spot XD
