Amanda Seals’ problem is that she truly believes that because she has a degree in African American studies that makes her the pivotal voice for all things black. I cannot really name much she has done for black folk other than annoy TF out of us. She also gives off that her TRUE problem is that her “light skin” has gotten her to the places or with the men she feels she “deserves.” She TRULY acts like she is the greatest gift to black folk and we are “ungrateful” for not accepting her. I hate to use such an overused and misunderstood term, but that woman is a textbook narcissist.
See she thinks she’s above and beyond the black community… as if she’s the only intelligent, well spoken black woman out here in the world. She needs to get over her childhood trauma of being made fun of for how she spoke by kids… bc it grew up in her and messed up her way of thinking Don’t use black empowerment as a cover to take digs at us fo make yourself feel like you’re better She’s so ignorant
My biggest regret was thinking that people like Amanda Seales were the ones I should look up to. I could never be black enough for her and I’m dark skinned.
I went to high school and graduated in the same class ('99) with Amanda Seales and my memory of her was a stuckup and elitist lightskin chick. I actually thought she was biracial based on all the yt folks she hung around so color me surprised when years later she emerges with her Sista Soulja act 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I wish Alex would've saved this for Pop Roast, because we all want to see Chris reaction to Alex roasting his former "bestie". 😂 When Alex said "we couldn't even get tattoos until the yr 2000" I cackled, cuz that's when I got my tattoo (while in the military). 🤣
You absolutely make me feel full Alex. Just out of the hospital this morning and this is a nice reprieve!! Don’t make me laugh too hard tho. It hurts!! Lol
Sterling K Brown would have been magnificent and perfectly cast as King Richard. Sterling knows how to act professionally and keep his hands to his damn self. Kmt.
I haven't watched yet. Outside of My Brother and Me, I found out about Amanda Seals as Amanda Diva. I was always researching black art and things as a teen and I knew about her through her poetry and attachment to hip hop. I believe she was tagging walls out here. I do think she is often misunderstood, but I've read/heard about too many first hand accounts regarding her being snooty. Everyone can't be lying. I still respect what she has to say, but she seems like the type that can never be wrong. Great video Alex!
I started to watch this when it premiered (Kandi speak on it is usually good) after a question or two and Kandi looking at Amanda like "sis what are you talking about" I headed out it was boring almost immediately. Kandi looked like she Instantly regret having her on.
Alex, I love you but I had to skip thru most of this because Amanda Seales is in Evelyn Lozada's words "A non mothafkg factor". Bless you for reviewing this👏🏾
I don’t know how you ended up on my feed but, you are hilarious! I watched that interview (maybe that’s why you showed up) and I was really rooting for Amanda but, she failed the test.
Oops... I forgot to mention in my last post @AlexanderRodgers. Don't be surprised if Amanda Seales makes a video mentioning you 💩on her. Like when she did with Aba & Preach back in 2019, but these dudes didn't take her crap seriouly😆.
😂😂😂 Alex said “paint samples”. They shoulda got the father who played on Greenleaf to play King Richard. He woulda been perfect! He’s a great actor similar to Samuel Jackson but lesser known. Alex describing Amanda’s connecting with her previous lover in 2 sec was perfect …LMOA 😂
For some people doing an introspective check-up & changing bad behaviors is like opening the doors to complete horror. "So many cobwebs where do I start?" 😱 GET THERAPY
The first time I was introduced to her, she spent more of her energy looking into her phone than extending a decent greeting. The second time I encountered her she was rudely (with mean mug) pushing her way past me /us in the VIP section which we shared her as we are in the same industry circle.. Just not pleasant.
I thought it was just me! And she's said things like that before which baffles me for her to come across, and she is, but mainly come across as someone so woke and educated. She is not the person to have a colorism talk with at all. I respect Kandi for trying to bring her back to the point but it just whatever.
Amanda acts as if she’s out here passing for white. 🙄 She’s tan at best and her speaking voice isn’t even that proper. She speaks well, but there’s nothing out of the ordinary about the way she speaks. It’s obvious she’s Black. She just has a LOT of problematic takes on things that rub people the wrong way. Zoe Saldana playing Nina Simone was entirely disrespectful, but Will playing Richard Williams wasn’t a big deal. I agree with Kandi that every role doesn’t have to be an exact skin tone match. I notice Amanda never talks about her time as a member of Floetry when Marsha left. That’s when the name Amanda Diva really became more known.
Here comes the Light skin narrative. 😒The black community don't care for you because you think you are the VOICE and KNOWLEDGE of the black community. Now we see why Issa Rae and the entire former cast of Insecure don't muck with her. 🥴
Did kandi loose a bet or something? Because, why is she interviewing Amanda? It's Amanda! It's like someone seriously interviewing Andrew Cadwell. Now that I think about it, an Andrew interview would be way more insightful and entertaining than an Amanda interview.
17:26 is through and through a skrrong black mama. That child fell off the couch, doing way too much and the mama -- without even looking -- picked him back up and placed him back on the couch without missing a beat of her conversation with the aunties. 🤣🤣
The white lady in charge of The Real could've very well had it out against Amanda Whales... except for the fact that it was actually a Black woman in charge for the final season. Production as a whole just wasn't feeling her and she can't hack it.
As always Alex you took one for team. I stopped watching when they talked about her college sweetheart. Thanks you for mini roasted you dissect it and their is humor with truth between it.
Sometimes the skin issue is important because it go along with their struggle and the industry! Such as Nina Simone. Because she had very Afrocentric features and dark skin they did not see her as a viable star, but she had the talent. Zoe Saldana I love her, but they should have chose India Arie. There are many dark skin actresses and singers that could have done a much better job than Zoe in this movie!
If I were to ever plan a “girls trip”, Amanda would be the girl that you’d have to separate yourself from the group. You’ll get along well with everyone else, but there’s always that ONE that has a problem with the problem. A true cancer.😂
I don't consider Taraji P Henson light skinned. She's brown skinned and beautiful. I want her to stop begging black men to respect black women and let them fall to the wayside!

Amanda seales has the worst case of light skin saviorism and overcompensation I’ve ever seen in my life.
That Viola Davis followed her on accident has me in tears!!! I CANNOT WITH YOU!!!
“We just don’t like you. You’re funky and you’re uppity” 😂
"Passports are expensive, and so is international travel. If you don't have anywhere to go-- wear your shoes"! YES ALEX!!!!
💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
Later on she sits in a $3000 Gucci jumpsuit saying she can’t afford to be officially diagnosed with the autism she wants you to believe she has.
Here to get another Amanda Seales roast to 100,000!! 😂
Speak on it 😂
Yes that roast was EPIC! I put it in repeat mode even till this day.
Denzel was like 3 shades darker than Malcolm X…. But who else could have captured his mannerisms, facial expressions and speech patterns as well??
Word!!!
Completely agree!
Denzel looked just like X that we forgot it was him. Now check that Amanda
No one!
You listening to Amanda for 58mins is the hardest thing I've seen you do on your channel 😂😂🎉🎉
I know it was painful 🤣
😂😂😂🙌🏽
😂😂😂
Lol
She is beyond annoying.
The light skin roll call was hilarious!!!!!
Jamie Foxx playing Ray Charles. Jamie was so good I forgot it wasn't Ray!!!
See she thinks she’s above and beyond the black community… as if she’s the only intelligent, well spoken black woman out here in the world.
She needs to get over her childhood trauma of being made fun of for how she spoke by kids… bc it grew up in her and messed up her way of thinking
Don’t use black empowerment as a cover to take digs at us fo make yourself feel like you’re better
She’s so ignorant
Love this 😀 ❤️
@Ccspooner Beautifully said. I couldn't said it any better.❤
Perfectly said.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You SAID THAT!! Articulate Face Breaker
Bravo!!!!
@ccspooner Accurate! She always thinks she's the smartest in the room
My biggest regret was thinking that people like Amanda Seales were the ones I should look up to. I could never be black enough for her and I’m dark skinned.
When you said Michael Jackson was Black AND light skin I literally lost it 😂🤣😂😂
The “we claim her” anaphora was genius Alex.
Every time you said Malcolm X I yelled out, “damn that man was fine! Red hair and all!”
Thank you for checking this woman! She must think she's the only articulate Black woman out here ...so sad! 😔
Hey Biffas ❤
Yes Malcolm X was fine as hell! I’m glad someone said it. I can always count on you Alex 😂
“…we claim her”🤣🤣🤣”we just don’t like you!”😭😭😭😭😘
“I believe in black joy.” Amen 🙌🏾
I went to high school and graduated in the same class ('99) with Amanda Seales and my memory of her was a stuckup and elitist lightskin chick. I actually thought she was biracial based on all the yt folks she hung around so color me surprised when years later she emerges with her Sista Soulja act 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
"Imagery is more important than history." This is increadibly infuriating to hear. It's the mantra of a moron, or an authoritarian. Yikes, Amanda...
Beautifully put 👏🏼
'We jus don't like u, you funky!'🤣
You have already signed, SEALED, and delivered the most obliterating read to Amanda. She still hasn't learned anything.
Not at all chile
You are hilarious!!! This paper bag reference took me out. 😂😂😂😂😂
When you pulled out that paper bag I fell out 😂🤣💀
I’m always here for Alex reading Miss. “Plus 1” 😂😂😂
Saw that picture and never clicked so fast!!!!
Amanda really needs to get over herself 🙄
I vote for “We Claim Her” to be the next single from Alexander Rodgers
Thanks for taking one for the Team🤣🤣🤣😭😭
I knew from the thumbnail that you were going to bring the sh*ts! The brown paper bag & that phone took me out! You’re a mess! 🤣🤣🤣
I wish Alex would've saved this for Pop Roast, because we all want to see Chris reaction to Alex roasting his former "bestie". 😂
When Alex said "we couldn't even get tattoos until the yr 2000" I cackled, cuz that's when I got my tattoo (while in the military). 🤣
😂😂😂
Checking in from the DMV.
“You Funky n You Uppity!” I’m crine🤣🤣🤣
"You're not precocious at 40." 💥
*HOOTS*
Beyoncé lightskinned we claim her!- something you will NEVA hear Alex say!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beyoncé is a diva. Lol. He won't say that either. 😂😂😂
Literally dying laughing at Samuel busy with those Marvel movies and CapitalOne commercials!!LOL
Amanda 'put her foot in her mouth' Seales 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 she tries but her true colors always shine thur 🤣🤣🤣🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 ma'am stop playing with us!!
Richard Williams wanted Will to play him. So, they got Will. He deserved to have whomever he chose
That theme song is a total ear worm! I walk around snapping my fingers and humming it.
You absolutely make me feel full Alex. Just out of the hospital this morning and this is a nice reprieve!! Don’t make me laugh too hard tho. It hurts!! Lol
I hope you feel better. The hospital sucks
I hope and pray that you get well.
Sending healing your way 💛
Listen I wanted a tramp stamp thank God I was too young to be too stupid 🤣
Sterling K Brown would have been magnificent and perfectly cast as King Richard. Sterling knows how to act professionally and keep his hands to his damn self. Kmt.

Alex 😂 I swear you always make my day with your roast and reviews lol
So she talks eloquently and is uppity and classist about it…..but admits she doesn’t know what she’s talking about!? Girl gone!!!!
I started to watch this when it premiered (Kandi speak on it is usually good) after a question or two and Kandi looking at Amanda like "sis what are you talking about" I headed out it was boring almost immediately. Kandi looked like she Instantly regret having her on.

So how did she feel when Chadwick played Thurgood Marshall?
I don’t know how you ended up on my feed but, you are hilarious! I watched that interview (maybe that’s why you showed up) and I was really rooting for Amanda but, she failed the test.
I’m calling it: “We Claim Her” a new Alex bop! Y’all know y’all started clapping at one point.
This was the best part!
Does she not know that most Black people are good at code switching 🤦🏽♀️😑
Thank you for doing the Lord's work by suffering through that interview 🤣🤣🤣. Cuz I could NEVA!

You’ll never let that +1 go 😂
Amanda's face and voice erks my spirit. When will her 15 mins be up?
For some people doing an introspective check-up & changing bad behaviors is like opening the doors to complete horror. "So many cobwebs where do I start?" 😱 GET THERAPY
Both times I met Amanda were unpleasant.
what happened?
The first time I was introduced to her, she spent more of her energy looking into her phone than extending a decent greeting.
The second time I encountered her she was rudely (with mean mug) pushing her way past me /us in the VIP section which we shared her as we are in the same industry circle..
Just not pleasant.
@@maestralive3493 ahh, that is rude.
Not the actual paper bag test😱

Because shutting up is free ❤️🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 ALEX!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
U Got her ass all the way together 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. But why Denzel gotta be too long in the tooth 🤦🏾♀️😂😂
Yes she’s so annoying omg . She will
Forever be Amanda the uninvited 😂
Lolll who we claim? lollll just not you 😂😂😂😂
“You can’t even get a plus one”
“Viola Davis started following you…Must’ve been an accident” 😭 How Did I miss this video…
Here comes the Light skin narrative. 😒The black community don't care for you because you think you are the VOICE and KNOWLEDGE of the black community. Now we see why Issa Rae and the entire former cast of Insecure don't muck with her. 🥴
And she not even that light skin
I love the name of your show. It makes a mockery of all of these reality shows!😂😂😂
She just does too damn much 🤣🤣🤣, that’s all I’ll say because you said the rest Alex 😂😂👏🏾👏🏾
Did kandi loose a bet or something? Because, why is she interviewing Amanda? It's Amanda! It's like someone seriously interviewing Andrew Cadwell. Now that I think about it, an Andrew interview would be way more insightful and entertaining than an Amanda interview.

Sure is😂😂
"You funky and uppity" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣yo
Imagine the ameggedon that would be Candice Owen v Amanda Seale interview... coming from different spectrums but both disliked by our community!😆
Nooo 😂 you didn’t use a paper bag 💼 Alex
The white lady in charge of The Real could've very well had it out against Amanda Whales... except for the fact that it was actually a Black woman in charge for the final season. Production as a whole just wasn't feeling her and she can't hack it.
When he started calling out the light skin women we claim🤣 ...Allegedly🤣🤣🤣🤣
As always Alex you took one for team. I stopped watching when they talked about her college sweetheart. Thanks you for mini roasted you dissect it and their is humor with truth between it.
This is the sequel! 😆 🤣
Courtney B Vance or Isaiah Washington are the only 2 men I can think of who are probably free and could’ve played King Richard.
ME: 👀 sees another Amanda Seals roast.
ALSO ME: Running 🏃🏿♀️💨⚡ 2 c Alexander double down on her obliteration! 🔥🔥🔥
I was waiting for you to say "ROBBBBBIN Dixon" for no apparent reason. Lol
I’m going to have to bing watch your channel l, I’ve been missing in action, missing all of the action. ❤
I was hollering when I saw you go get that paper bag! I don't think she will ever get that she is the problem!
Sometimes the skin issue is important because it go along with their struggle and the industry! Such as Nina Simone. Because she had very Afrocentric features and dark skin they did not see her as a viable star, but she had the talent. Zoe Saldana I love her, but they should have chose India Arie.

Exactly, a part of community we not gon visit.
"We Claim her..." new T-shirt merch. Alex get on that and you would be banking over night.
This is why I had to unfollow her on Instagram
Facts! I unfollowed her 2 years ago, bc I couldn't take her ish no more.😅🤣😆
Sick in bed and you made me feel full like always. 🥰♥️🙏🏼
If I were to ever plan a “girls trip”, Amanda would be the girl that you’d have to separate yourself from the group. You’ll get along well with everyone else, but there’s always that ONE that has a problem with the problem. A true cancer.😂
My gf had a gf who is a teacher that has some kind of superior complex. Lol.
Interesting that you said ‘true Cancer’… I had a friend that was extremely difficult-could not get along with anyone and she’s a cancer
Well said! Glad to see your video :)
Thé late great Malcolm X was fiiiinnnneee🥰
I don't consider Taraji P Henson light skinned. She's brown skinned and beautiful. I want her to stop begging black men to respect black women and let them fall to the wayside!
Thank you 🤓
I didn’t watch all of this Speak On It. I think I shut it off after the introduction. Thank you, Alex.
👀Tuned in.
Garcelle Beauvais speaks proper and we claim her. Stop it Amanda!
Give it to her, Alex! Poor Amanda.👀
As a cancer I don’t see Amanda as one of collective we don’t all act like that 🤷🏾♀️
Thank you
Well Cancers are highly emotional🤷🏿♀️
THANK YOU. Idk what kind of Cancers people be out here meeting but the ones I know personally be cool as hell.
@@KianaG1280 y’all act like we act like Christean Rock (she’s a whole Pisces)
