Who's yall? And who said that's the blueprint? woman do that to signal to men, if anything its woman who put that pressure on themselves, men play their part but it's women who buys those magazines who supports the girl with all the make up, over the natural women, you can't have it both ways.
"Y'all" is everyone in these comments lol. And um...society says that's the blueprint. I'm saying that not every woman should feel like they have to fit into a box of what a woman should be and that's what's Lena is trying to say. There's nothing wrong with the woman who wants to be more feminine and the one who doesn't. Women should be able to choose and still be considered a woman at the end of the day. Oh and also maybe consider the thought that women don't put on makeup and wear heels for the attention of a man...
When will some people understand that jeans, and a shirt with jordans is not the "blueprint" for every man? Goes both ways. By the way I fully support her. Just saying equality is EQUALITY.
she bought out a theater so black people could support the Asian movie that came out... remember when an Asian activist did that for Black panther...oh wait..
Wow the hateful responses from to this interview is disturbing. She gave props to several black men, gave several jewels and presented her authentic self. Negative reactions really say more about the reactor...
Mary Miller THANK YOU!! All this misery is exhausting to scroll through. That said, I’m going to let your comment be the high note of this video and exit stage left lol *cues lil Duval’s song* 😁
Latoya fleming Here’s my reasoning behind using the word “misery”. People tend to put so much negative energy into things that don’t concern them. If you want a “healthy black family”, you have every option to form one, right? So why spread negativity about someone else who’s still doing great things for the black community and people of color in general? People need to “be the change they wish to see in the world” correct? So build that healthy family and live your best life while NOT putting others down. If you can’t do that, it sounds like misery 🤷🏾♀️.
Nicholas Pegasus While I understand your perspective, there are so many things wrong with what you just said. Lol black love does not only mean black STRAIGHT love. Lena and her fiancé have black love. But people choose to see it as a negative because we’d rather separate ourselves from our own people because of their sexuality and some religious reasons that were PREACHED to us BY our oppressors. We get it, to you and people like you, being gay is “wrong” but to use raising kids as an excuse for why ALL people shouldn’t be represented in media is beyond self segregating. How about, the parents who are raising these children in this climate teach their children that being gay isn’t wrong and families can be healthy as long as unconditional love for each other AND our people is present. By being judgemental and disrespectful to people who are different than you, you’re only playing into the self inflicted separation our oppressors wanted from us since day one. You can’t preach that you love our black people while simultaneously dismissing the ones who need our support as well. Exercise some compassion and maybe that’ll be the legacy you pass down to our children. The world needs that.
Nicholas Pegasus If that’s what you got from my previous comment which was advocating COMPASSION for our people over anything else that’s unfortunate. I truly hope you find peace once all that negativity finishes consuming you. Good luck with all your future endeavors and I hope you’re fighting the good fight outside of the comment section. I know I am. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 P.S. A response is not necessary as you are now blocked. Disrespect will not be tolerated #IAintGoinBackNForthWitYou

I am pretty sure if she wanted to be a man, she has enough money for the surgery. Stop being judgmental hell. Why does she bother you so much? She is good at what she does and when she gets on a platform to promote her work, self conscious ass fuckers want to hate. Go look in the mirror and figure out what's in you that makes her bother you so much. Then hopefully you can fix it. A woman with a little power shouldn't shake you enough to comment so negatively.
Black girls rock is about coddling dark skin females. No one in society gets coddled more than dark skin females, let's keep it real. Bastard baby makers, abortion, reliable tools of white supremacy, and most of all, lovers of all things LGBT. Black girls love them some EJ Johnson smh
Lol yea I know you can't change your DNA. But it has been proven that you can get gender reassignment surgery and even change your Male or Female identification on your license/birth certificate. Thanks to science and surgery you can be whoever you choose. Just because someone sees you as a male or female, does not mean you have to agree with it. Clearly you have a right to your own opinion, but you can't tell someone else what to do or think. I am pretty sure you are not a government official or hold any source of power that allows you to do so. This is America LMAO you can be you and up to the scrutiny you choose for yourself.

This girl really rented out a movie theatre to go and support that crazy rich asians movie, when it was chinese audiences who said that they didn't like 'Black Panther' because it was "too black." Wasn't it just a couple of weeks ago those koreans were beating their Black customers. And is it not china that's trying to colonize parts of Africa? Why does some our loyalty always lie elsewhere? Out here begging people to like her. She's not right in the head. She also said "long hair made her look feminine" huh? First off are she not a girl/woman that's why she is lesbian, not a transgender man that's why you're not gay/homosexual. Two when did long hair define femininity. She got to have hit her head on a rock.
Monolithic man black women don't care,especially these black feminist and lesbians.Its so bad right now and people like the breakfast club promotes these things on us
AMEN!! Lena gonna keep on rising and shining no matter what people say and think about her, cause they'll need her help in the long haul..God bless you sis!!
No they see how gays are trying to take civil rights from them, civil rights is for black people not anyone else, when the first black president does more for gay people then his own what do you call that? You think black people should be promoting being gay when the foundation of there families are broken?
leo my poor brother. You are clearly uneducated and unaware. Although historically was the Civil Rights movement was started to help ensure Blacks received the same rights as whites, it is clearly extended to all disenfranchised groups (Asians, Disabled, Elderly, Hispanic, and in the last two decades, LGBTQ). You probably don't even know who actually organized that March on Washington in 1963. Gay people were always involved in the Civil Rights movement, you just didn't know who they were because many remained in the closet for fear of being attacked or killed.
‘When I walk outside my house I am property of the public’ woww!! The truth of it all 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿,I’m really proud of this Black women success 🔥🔥🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 #BlackGirlMagic
The comment section under this post is concerning.... our opinions are of value, and we should dialogue under these interviews BUT we have to fight against exclusionary thinking, like why can’t someone have life experience or perspective that differs from yours without you getting verbally violent
I think what she meant was how society attaches negative connotations to femininity by way of long hair and other things society today considers feminine. (Society being the entertainment industry, the media, viewers). She was tired of being treated a certain way just because of her hair. Anybody male or female can feel a way about long hair and the way they are treated by others.
@@lloydinfamous5032 Judgemental much? He who has never sinned go ahead and throw that stone 👌 Other than that, Im all for acceptance of self and positive vibes 😘
RajOfColumbus ...because of statements like “we as black men...” and “as a black man...” unless people are out here lying about what race they are to troll
How about if you, black man, take a moment to celebrate black women??? If you love them why not... when you love someone you should have no problem with them being encouraged and empowered. That would warm my heart. When I see black men being empowered and uplifted I feel so happy. I saw a picture with “black excellence” as the caption and all success black men in the picture. There’s nothing wrong with that. Just like there’s nothing wrong with black women rocking... Do you disagree that black women are awesome?
i make beats You have to be progressive and politically correct. Support LGBT issues and feminist ideology. That rape case has scared Charlemagne, he’s basically a black feminist.
There's a lot of salty bitter men in this comment section acting childish because of this woman. All that energy you're wasting on hating on someone who is an influence, can be used to just be a better man.
The devil love glorifying sin. If you're the face of Black Girls Rock, we will start a new movement because this is not how black women should be represented.
With the black family unit, male & female. Same sex marriage represent Satan still going against God's authority. Who every sponsor her want freedom from Gods law, reject God. Carry on.
It's weird to see other black men get upset at a black woman being successful. I feel like we need to support any and all black people that are finding success and are turning around others. Did y'all hear the stuff she's doing for Chicago? Help me understand the issue. If y'all scared she taking girls away from y'all, y'all probably wasn't getting any anyway.
Well, what is something you do with the LEAST amount of effort? That’s how you determine it...everyone has a passion, but sometimes your passion isn’t your gift. Work on your gift, and then try to incorporate that with your passion.
Perceived femininity, or performed femininity is what she is talking about.. not gender identity.. she knows and identifies as a women, in this interview (well as for the hair question) she is talking about how people see her & accept her or expect her to be based off of societal norms
3:17-3:57 That's interesting because when Boyz N Tha Hood and Menace 2 Society came out. When it came to the protagonists Trey & Kane, the only similarity between the two was that they were young & black. From their childhood to their progression and the conclusion of those two were completely different from each other. It would be interesting if a poll was made how many would identify with Trey over Kane or vice versa?
As I watch this I'm noticing that CTG has a great deal of respect for Lena. He was not behaving reckless as well as his tone and delivery were very respectable. Good job Charlemagne... OAN The Wire seasons 1-4 are my favorite... I still watch them all the time!!!
You really NEED to educate yourself. Your comments are baseless and ignorant The problem you all are having is that being a woman is a combination of feminine and masculine energy, features etc. what she is saying is that as a woman there is often the expectation to have hair as it is considered most feminine on a woman. She is saying she held on the her hair thinking that she would have to prove her femininity by having hair. Cutting it off is her way of saying to the world I AM STILL A WOMAN, despite your views of what makes a woman a woman(like having long hair). She knows she is a woman, she identifies as woman and loves another woman.
@@face2face46 Ugh. First of all my comment wasn't an attack. My comment was just that a comment. I don't care what her hair represents. I cut mine all off myself. My reasoning had nothing to do with "energy." Her objective is to look like a man as much as possible fine whatever. My question is why can't she just be a gay woman why portray to be a woman who is attempting to look like a man? At the end of my original comment I did ask for clarity but instead of being helpful you jumped in your bag of feelings and took it personal. Which is why maybe you're not the right person to explain this
I honestly thought your question was sincere so sorry that the comments got so hostile. More people like yourself need to be willing to asks hard questions like this so that they can gain an understanding. Personally, I am bi and enjoy dressing with a male and female influence. I switch my style up frequently, but I feel most comfortable (and swaggy) in men's clothes so that is what I often wear. I did that when I was in a relationship with a man and I am doing that now that I'm in a relationship with a woman. I think people dress themselves in what makes them feel confident, no matter what their sexual orientation is. Granted, Lena could wear dresses and blouses, and still date women, but I don't think that makes her feel confident so she chooses not to do that. I'm sure you'd feel pretty uncomfortable in a man's outfit, that's probably why you don't wear/buy men's clothes. It's the same thing. Lena prob doesn't feel comfortable/confident wearing women's clothes so she decides not to wear them. (Not trying to rail on you, just trying to give you some perspective)
I am sick of seeing this women. You are not a spokes person for black people especially black women. I remember when Lena went on a rant about supporting some Asian movie. We are not obligated to support other cultures in their come up. I don’t see one Asian flocking the theaters to see our movies. Also, how many Asians supported Black Panther? I’ll wait. You do not speak for me Lena.
Sad you think like this but okay. I have heard her sing black women's praises and be very supportive towards her own. We as black people assume in order to become stronger we have to create a greater divide between different ethnic groups but that is sad and untrue.
Sad you see it like this. I feel like you need to open your eyes to all the love ppl have for each other. I love my brother and sister's of all colors. Why you gotta hate
All our problems in the black community start within our households and it starts by putting the black women in her place and raising our sons and daughters the right way.
The black man ain't got nothing to do with Lena weath.... That is just ONE woman. Fix yo shit ... WE ALL WAITING ON YALL TO PICK YOURSELF UP AND FIX IT. WE SUPPORT BLACK MEN. BUT STOP HATING
“Putting the black women in her place” get all the fvck outta here. Do you not see how much she’s winning?! Please, get to her level of success before you start telling ppl what to do. You sound so ignorant.
I love seeing ANDYBODY win, but I especially LOVE seeing WOMEN become victorious!!! I love when our kings doing their thang but girl power is where it's at!
Wow these guys in the comment section here are Toxic. The black ones especially, so look I want to say guys you are important and loved and a necessary to us. This behavior reflects badly on us because you are all kings Lena is a wonderful person celebrate her, don't feel threatened by showing weakness. Embrace the unfamiliar and expand your heart only then others will honor you as the kings you are.
I'll watch anything when it comes to the cities of Chicago, New York, & New Orleans .... just my favorite places to visit. This dude & Issa are tying to make Asians part of our community when they don't put $$ in our community is ignorant
Blk man, stand down let the manly woman handle her own affairs when she gets a beating at the hair store or stabbed at the bus station remind her that blk girls rock and she can protect herself.
Nia Wilson and her sister were feminine black women who needed protection from the "blk man" and received none so not sure what point you're trying to make.
@@jmatthews5685 that's my point we're not going to help a mammie pale male worshiper only real blk woman get those privileges. Just like the dude who got shot by police when blk women found out he had a asian girl and was bashing blk women the support stopped like it should have same goes to these " I don't need a man bitches" and quit simpin bro your not getting any brownie points from these feminist.
Dude, and I say dude, because a man would never move like you. GO TO SLEEP bruh. You too woke. Either you are too young or too ignorant to know any difference. You sound like those white people that say all lives matter to people saying black lives matter. Just like being pro black isn’t being anti-white being feminist doesn’t men anti-male. Both can co-exists. If we were to subscribe to your bullshit rhetoric then the million man march must have been a protest against women huh?

This girl really rented out a movie theatre to go and support that crazy rich asians movie, when it was chinese audiences who said that they didn't like 'Black Panther' because it was "too black." Wasn't it just a couple of weeks ago those koreans were beating their Black customers. And is it not china that's trying to colonize parts of Africa? Why does some our loyalty always lie elsewhere? Out here begging people to like her. She's not right in the head. She also said "long hair made her look feminine" huh? First off are she not a girl/woman that's why she is lesbian, not a transgender man that's why you're not gay/homosexual. Two when did long hair define femininity. She got to have hit her head on a rock.
Monolithic man black women don't care,especially these black feminist and lesbians.Its so bad right now and people like the breakfast club promotes these things on us
There’s so much hate in the comments but it doesn’t matter. Lena’s on another level.
A whole different level. She’s amazing. I swear people are so hateful.
AMEN!! Lena gonna keep on rising and shining no matter what people say and think about her, cause they'll need her help in the long haul..God bless you sis!!
black people fight for respect in america everyday but hate anyone who isn't straight a million miles per hour. that's crazy.
No they see how gays are trying to take civil rights from them, civil rights is for black people not anyone else, when the first black president does more for gay people then his own what do you call that? You think black people should be promoting being gay when the foundation of there families are broken?
leo my poor brother. You are clearly uneducated and unaware. Although historically was the Civil Rights movement was started to help ensure Blacks received the same rights as whites, it is clearly extended to all disenfranchised groups (Asians, Disabled, Elderly, Hispanic, and in the last two decades, LGBTQ). You probably don't even know who actually organized that March on Washington in 1963. Gay people were always involved in the Civil Rights movement, you just didn't know who they were because many remained in the closet for fear of being attacked or killed.
‘When I walk outside my house I am property of the public’ woww!! The truth of it all 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿,I’m really proud of this Black women success 🔥🔥🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 #BlackGirlMagic
The comment section under this post is concerning.... our opinions are of value, and we should dialogue under these interviews BUT we have to fight against exclusionary thinking, like why can’t someone have life experience or perspective that differs from yours without you getting verbally violent
Bullshit! Some people need to be excluded, especially when they're promoting this deviant life choice to the masses.
Just seen her acceptance speech on Black Girls Rock and I never heard of her until then. Came here to hear her talk more! Love her energy
If black girls rock, why is she trying to take on the persona of a male?
Thanks for this interview. I love hearing her story & journey in this writing game!
I love Lena. She just drops gem after gem after gem
She is not orinigal
More like spewing liberal feminists bullshit
I guess your a homosexual
@@ussuperprints1821 its *You're* and no I'm not. Only homosexuals like Lena? Seek help.
“My wish for people is to live the life they daydream about & very few people get to do that.” Thank you Lena, really needed to hear this.
I think what she meant was how society attaches negative connotations to femininity by way of long hair and other things society today considers feminine. (Society being the entertainment industry, the media, viewers). She was tired of being treated a certain way just because of her hair. Anybody male or female can feel a way about long hair and the way they are treated by others.
Beautiful and intelligent creative, Lena Waithe. God bless you!! TBC thank you for using your platform to display humility and success.

Okay but also there are black men in the real world who still perpetuate these same sentiments so....
There's SOOO many black stories that still need to be told and people like Lena making it happen one show at a time
if black girls rock, then why does she want to be a black man so bad?
They're using her to push this gay agenda on black women
How is she "trying" to be a man not every women is feminine.

Nicky Krystals Comparing race to gender isn’t very smart kid. Women weren’t hung for being females, black people were. Nice try though
How about no
Nicky Krystals exactly what I was going to comment 😂😂 amazing!
How about if you, black man, take a moment to celebrate black women??? If you love them why not... when you love someone you should have no problem with them being encouraged and empowered. That would warm my heart. When I see black men being empowered and uplifted I feel so happy. I saw a picture with “black excellence” as the caption and all success black men in the picture. There’s nothing wrong with that. Just like there’s nothing wrong with black women rocking... Do you disagree that black women are awesome?
I've been following Kid Fury for years. I would look forward to his videos every week in undergrad. So proud of him
Lately yall keep interviewing THE SAME PEOPLE !!! Why ???
The agenda is real
i make beats You have to be progressive and politically correct. Support LGBT issues and feminist ideology. That rape case has scared Charlemagne, he’s basically a black feminist.
not many interesting people who know how to give a good interview nowadays.
Agenda
Social media programming me thinks.
100 percent agree with the prestigious shows for us. I always wanted more of that growing up.
There's a lot of salty bitter men in this comment section acting childish because of this woman. All that energy you're wasting on hating on someone who is an influence, can be used to just be a better man.
Or this isn't wasting any energy at all nor is it hate. Maybe people are expressing themselves on an open and free platform.
Zoey Neighland stfu
Speak!
Shout to Lena. Still making #BOSS moves.
The devil love glorifying sin. If you're the face of Black Girls Rock, we will start a new movement because this is not how black women should be represented.
Inlisted_Infantry exactly
How should black women be represented huh?
With the black family unit, male & female. Same sex marriage represent Satan still going against God's authority. Who every sponsor her want freedom from Gods law, reject God. Carry on.
@@t4Ujesus3 I'm so glad you understand.. gives me more hope in our people

Great interview 👍
It's weird to see other black men get upset at a black woman being successful. I feel like we need to support any and all black people that are finding success and are turning around others. Did y'all hear the stuff she's doing for Chicago? Help me understand the issue. If y'all scared she taking girls away from y'all, y'all probably wasn't getting any anyway.
Gays should not be celebrated . at all ..we need laws to ban it.
@@ussuperprints1821 wtf? You serious?
Huge fan of this sista and love her work!
I am still trying to find that one thing that I am great at. That part of the interview touched
You're not alone
the first step to becoming great at something is to fail at it. pick a passion and stick with it. put in those 1000 hours or whatever they say.
Well, what is something you do with the LEAST amount of effort? That’s how you determine it...everyone has a passion, but sometimes your passion isn’t your gift. Work on your gift, and then try to incorporate that with your passion.
Dope interview!
but you are a girl no matter what you do to Ur hair lol

yea but what part of the interview where she said she didnt want to be a girl? 🤔

@@get2danews925 the part when she said she cut her hair because she didn't want people saying "oh she's still a girl tho"😉
fighting temptation
yea i heard that too but i didnt think she was literally saying she wants to be a man but i guess ok
Perceived femininity, or performed femininity is what she is talking about.. not gender identity.. she knows and identifies as a women, in this interview (well as for the hair question) she is talking about how people see her & accept her or expect her to be based off of societal norms
3:17-3:57 That's interesting because when Boyz N Tha Hood and Menace 2 Society came out. When it came to the protagonists Trey & Kane, the only similarity between the two was that they were young & black. From their childhood to their progression and the conclusion of those two were completely different from each other. It would be interesting if a poll was made how many would identify with Trey over Kane or vice versa?
Look at all these upset black men in these comments lmaooo

She’s amazing. I have no other words.
She's not attracted to men but wants to look like one. Someone help me understand
@D H Even the flip side. If a woman is a lesbian but wants a woman who looks like a man. Why not just date a man? Im confused
She doesn't look like a MAN at all. What are you talking about?
You really NEED to educate yourself. Your comments are baseless and ignorant
The problem you all are having is that being a woman is a combination of feminine and masculine energy, features etc. what she is saying is that as a woman there is often the expectation to have hair as it is considered most feminine on a woman. She is saying she held on the her hair thinking that she would have to prove her femininity by having hair. Cutting it off is her way of saying to the world I AM STILL A WOMAN, despite your views of what makes a woman a woman(like having long hair). She knows she is a woman, she identifies as woman and loves another woman.
@@face2face46 Ugh. First of all my comment wasn't an attack. My comment was just that a comment. I don't care what her hair represents. I cut mine all off myself. My reasoning had nothing to do with "energy." Her objective is to look like a man as much as possible fine whatever. My question is why can't she just be a gay woman why portray to be a woman who is attempting to look like a man? At the end of my original comment I did ask for clarity but instead of being helpful you jumped in your bag of feelings and took it personal. Which is why maybe you're not the right person to explain this
I honestly thought your question was sincere so sorry that the comments got so hostile. More people like yourself need to be willing to asks hard questions like this so that they can gain an understanding. Personally, I am bi and enjoy dressing with a male and female influence. I switch my style up frequently, but I feel most comfortable (and swaggy) in men's clothes so that is what I often wear. I did that when I was in a relationship with a man and I am doing that now that I'm in a relationship with a woman. I think people dress themselves in what makes them feel confident, no matter what their sexual orientation is. Granted, Lena could wear dresses and blouses, and still date women, but I don't think that makes her feel confident so she chooses not to do that. I'm sure you'd feel pretty uncomfortable in a man's outfit, that's probably why you don't wear/buy men's clothes. It's the same thing. Lena prob doesn't feel comfortable/confident wearing women's clothes so she decides not to wear them. (Not trying to rail on you, just trying to give you some perspective)
Love, Love, Love her!!!!!
I am sick of seeing this women. You are not a spokes person for black people especially black women. I remember when Lena went on a rant about supporting some Asian movie. We are not obligated to support other cultures in their come up. I don’t see one Asian flocking the theaters to see our movies. Also, how many Asians supported Black Panther? I’ll wait. You do not speak for me Lena.
Sad you think like this but okay. I have heard her sing black women's praises and be very supportive towards her own. We as black people assume in order to become stronger we have to create a greater divide between different ethnic groups but that is sad and untrue.
They’re too busy bootlegging it to go see it in the theatres
Sad you see it like this. I feel like you need to open your eyes to all the love ppl have for each other. I love my brother and sister's of all colors. Why you gotta hate
Chill out lol

Very good interview! 💙#LENAWAITHE 📝
Blk man, stand down let the manly woman handle her own affairs when she gets a beating at the hair store or stabbed at the bus station remind her that blk girls rock and she can protect herself.
Nia Wilson and her sister were feminine black women who needed protection from the "blk man" and received none so not sure what point you're trying to make.
@@jmatthews5685 that's my point we're not going to help a mammie pale male worshiper only real blk woman get those privileges. Just like the dude who got shot by police when blk women found out he had a asian girl and was bashing blk women the support stopped like it should have same goes to these " I don't need a man bitches" and quit simpin bro your not getting any brownie points from these feminist.
Dude, and I say dude, because a man would never move like you. GO TO SLEEP bruh. You too woke. Either you are too young or too ignorant to know any difference. You sound like those white people that say all lives matter to people saying black lives matter. Just like being pro black isn’t being anti-white being feminist doesn’t men anti-male.
