Me Ee what is cole council?

I love Insecure, it's so fresh and I'm glad it got picked up for a second season. Congrats Issa.
I agree with her when she says tbc makes me care about people, I usually wouldn't...
Nicole Cooper so many facts lol
Nicole Cooper tru
Whats happenin cuzzin!

James Cooper skk
Issa is the dopest!!! I'm reading her book now and it's awesome. Love her!
Oh and ratchetpiece theater is the funniest shit ever!! Lol
Ratchetpiece Theater needs to come back... i lived for it...hella funny.
yo her show is mad hilarious
I jus need it to be an hour not 30mins
+SunshineLove same with Atlanta on fx
you forgot to add the "b" at the end of your sentence
thatsafactho
that shit needs to be an hour fr, i be mad when Atlanta go off and it don't feel like 30 minutes
Pretty cool to see Charlemagne go through the whole appreciating black women thing. You can tell wheels been turning in his head
yea it's interesting. he's trying lol
R_ M Naw that nigga loves his"Nubian White Queens" Ashe says.
lormisha He's married to a black woman though and been with her for many years. Y'all stay rolling on small comments ehh
we will see for how long
He appreciates her because she has something to appreciate. He drags reality stars, strippers, and the like. Issa clearly respects herself and he respects her naturally
She is freakin gorgeous.

I love her. AND this insecurity in black women is not so much insecurity as is trying to be regular without SUPERwoman expectations.
Vonnie C yes, powerful statement!
Vonnie C so true we always have to be over educated to get an average job or run for Congress to prove we’re worth it
She's so beautiful and relatable! #BlackGirlMagic ✨Her skin is so poppin
I love her so much. Good to see that Charlamagne showed respect for her. Issa might be the most important Black show runner (over DG and Shonda) because her depictions of Black life are the most realistic and non-stereotypical I've ever seen on TV. Good to see People of color that aren't portrayed as "cool", "strong/badass"', or "victimized." Incredible time right now for the representation of Black people in film/tv.
She is my fav, I have been a fan since Awkward Black Girl...I would be at work, not working but watching her videos.
No one ever says Charlemagne talks like a white person.
lmao
but he bleaches .
I bet he wishes he did tho
Brenande Mossita I was wondering how he felt he related...not saying skrenth
"Skrong", "Skreets" "skrength"??? Yea okay Charlamagne...
I am completely obsessed with INSECURE! Super proud of Issa Rae, for her perseverance... you did that!
I just died hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Issa said who gonna tighten up for trick daddy lmao
Envy better stop calling off before they realize he's not relevant & replace him 😂
I already know the hotep comments are coming sooner rather than later ..
John Berry whats hotep ?
John Berry haha
King SoHo. If you don't know hotep you shouldn't be inquiring. Try googling it stop asking idiotic questions.
You can't educate people with that mindset. He could possibly be hotep'en, and not even know, because he has no implication as to what it is.
De Vaughn Yarbrough yeoo stfu my guy
Her complexion is just beautiful.
By far the best breakfast club interview. Issa Rae is a true inspiration and speaks so many truths.
She's a beauty and actually has a personality.
i loved ABG and I love Insecure too
Absolutely. I am only 24 years old and I'm exhausted. People often box any emotion black women show that isn't happy, or obedient as anger. It's hard to be happy because then people say you're arrogant. When you finally find the energy to tell people how youre feeling, being vulnerable, they refuse to believe you. I have been told to my face that how feel doesn't matter, that they don't believe that i am feeling the way i feel, that i am over exaggerating, that i am playing a victim, being negative, etc. I have been told all of this by just simply saying "you hurt my feelings". People do not believe black women have feelings. People will not believe black women are human. I am human.
The fact that I read that Envy wasn't on the show, the fact that I thought about that for only the 1st minute in, then the fact that I actually forgot about him as the interview got further in, and then the fact that I realized by the end of the interview, for real this time, that he wasn't on the show as if I never read any of y'alls comments...hilarity! lol
saw an ad for her show on UA-cam before it started airing & I KNEW that I had to watch it. I love Issa!!! I can't believe I didn't know about her & her work beforehand but props to her for reaching this level! I hope there will be more than one season & hopefully I can see her in other work
This was such an entertaining interview! I truly love her show! It's great to see something on tv with characters I can actually relate to. I literally be laughing out loud watching this show.
I love Issa Rae she keeps it real and that tag on coat is something I would do lol 😂
Her awkwardness is quite a charm! She would be a really fun date!
I love her!... I hope young women of color keep her as a role-model. Keep it real and be yourself. (your whole self)
19 female Cali...lmao 😂😂😂
Annie Morrison 😂😂😂
Love her and the show! Her show is true reality to many educated black women that go through these struggles with relationships, careers, friends, and etc.
She is a fresh mind. I love the fact that she is giving us round characters instead of flat characters. I am such a fan of her work and she had definitely inspired me. LA here I come!
I love Issa! I'm so glad the word is finally getting to see her genius!
Love Issa. Everyone always reference Awkward Black Girl but my favorite from her is Ratchet Piece Theatre.
her show should address colorism in the black community , I hate the fact that we get discriminated for wearing our natural hair , are afros are called "nappy" , meanwhile a mixed light skin black persons hair is "good" and "curly" . Lighter skin is not better than darkskin . whats wrong with being black , whats wrong with a round nose and big lips .
Curly hair and long hair in general are considered good and not just for light skin girls. Just saying.
bullshit that's only because they fit into white standards of beauty . they could get a job they could have long hair like mine just curly faster than I can since my hair is thick
Exactly
Dark ain't better either, but no actually we really don't need the black separation because of looks. I hope she won't show it. It's already tiresome from every shade and I'm natural hair too.
LifeIsNotorious I'm saying dark better but we need to embrace darkskin and act like it's equally good
her show and Atlanta is the best black shows on tv
she is the reason blackmen date white women...too beautiful too successful too calm
shylock costello what? Lmao
where are you getting "strong" from?
most are miss mkhize would you not say so?
Bethsaida Romelus her bf is black tho
he's on her instagram and he's senagalese like her dad.
She is a beautiful, educated woman!
Idk so many people was into this show...I LOVE it! Issa reminds me soooo much of myself...from the way she dresses, to events in her life, to her originality...and it just so happens that I'm 29 lol I freaking love her and her show, it is extremely relatable! I definitely will read her book as well. Pleaaase don't change Ms. Issa stay strong, awkward, beautiful etc. 😍😘👌🖒
I love this interview because it makes you feel like it's not impossible to make it in life, they were really just loving like us and took some real chances
Charlamagne did not make Lil Mama cry. Charlamagne tried to tear Lil Mama down because he didn't like the fact that she got on stage with Jay Z and Alicia Keys during their performance. He felt she needed to be chopped down a little because she was being too cocky But, in that interview, no matter what Charlamagne threw at her, Lil Mama actually held her own and handled herself well. The breakdown came when Angela Yee asked her about getting back in the studio and it made her reflect on the death of her mother. That's what brought her to tears. If anything Lil Mama got Charlamagne together at the end of that interview and made him look small.
I LOVE Issa Rae and its really good to see Charlemagne growing and being honest about his process.
that is mad funny, "washing paper plates!"
make sense get more life out of them!
arcolino1 only did that wit them red cups
Enjoyed this interview. Issa Rae is a breath of fresh air and so necessary for the completion of the picture of who we are as black women.
p.s..this interview was made so much better because Envy was not there to ask some dumdass question lol
I never paid much attention to her or her show before this but, after watching, I'm now a fan. What an incredibly intelligent, talented, funny and beautiful sister. I'll be sure to tune in.
I have been waiting forever for this interview WTF!!!!
This woman is so beautiful in every way.
I find her so beautiful externally and her personality /intelligence, I want her to win.
I am in love with this woman! She is so pure and funny
Who's here in April 2020, during quarantine, Insecure season 4 just started....what a journey! Gwan Issa!
that's a blessed melanin rich queen right there
She said it. God we juggle multiple identities everyday. We have been taught to hate who we really are.
Been a fan of her work. I don't know if she still works w/ Black&Sexytv, but I was always looking at that channel during work. Helps pass the time....
MrTheguy1111
me too!!
Issa Raye was able to do what Regina hall was unable to do hold the rooms attention cthagod was literally hanging onto Issa's every word and focused.
Well because they actually said they were interested in her ans her work, whereas they just flat out told Regina " We don't want to see your movie"
madmann1000
It's her job to make me want to watch the movies she was just unable to do that but Issa on the other hand i have never seen her show but i'm gonna download it to night and check it out cause her personality came through in the interview.
I think it's more about respect. He genuinely respects her hustle. What she has been able to do is nothing short of brilliant
cybil66
I agree with you on that.
femi adebayo Timing
Why didnt he talk to Lil Mama this way? Shes respectable/respectful. He has some kind of hidden agenda.
he feel like lil mama isn't as great as what people think
cause charlemagne always hating on light skin females
Lil Mama aint light skinned
brown skinned*
lifestraight Light-brown skin which is considered light. She damn sure ain't dark.
Issa is sooo beautiful and funny! LOVED the Larry David comparison and that she listens Breakfast Club and Fresh Air on NPR!! Thankful that this part of black society is finally getting some shine.
can ultimately relate to her being the the black white person in life
such a breath of fresh air from all the nicki minaj instagram chics.
i downloaded hbo go just to watch the show.......top 3 shows ive seen in my life..good job issa!
I appreciate her so much , awkward black girl changed my life ❤️
I love Issa and her show! She is sooo relatable. If you don't know her, go and watch Awkward Black Girl on youtube...you will love it. Especially if you are a black woman who's dating and whatnot.
i love chocolate women
This is so cool! I binged on Awkward Black Girl years ago and somehow lost track of it, and now she has a show on HBO??? i wish she got more credit in the youtube community for being another youtube to tv person.
Issa Rae is the truth! I love her and her work. She is a true talent.
My daughter and I absolutely love "Insecure"! Issa Rae is so talented..
So proud of her, so proud of #US
Black Girl Magic ✨
Gorgeous, talented, successful, and I have to say Gorgeous one more time!
Proud of these strong black women.
Hands down my favorite breakfast club interview!
Very good interview!!! I love her!
love that she showed Melina Matsoukas some love!
Talking white has more to do with the cadence of speech not speaking proper English.
Andre Porter yes please tell them!!
Andre Porter and a bit of tonality maybe?
so what if she's black and she speaks that way obviously it's not "talking white" she's black
I shake my head when I hear these so called intellectuals say they are talking proper but say the most retarded things, for example, "Like I would really totally die if we like never got Starbucks anymore... seriously". And swear they are so proper and shit.
Yes. Someone gets it. White, teachers in the south use country words like fitna, and round hurr. Ebonics is just an offshoot of southern slang that spread with the great black flight from the south in the early 20th century. My cousins, who were born here in the south, vocally sound way different than their friends because our family is from the north, but their vocabulary is mostly the same.
Been watching her since 2011. Crazy how she's on tv now.
I saw the previews. I have to subscribe to HBO now.
Just started watching this show and it's fire. Real life shit. Black man with a college degree and he still can't find a good job. This shit is real.
She is Gorgeous OMG!!!
ctg killed the whole awkward black girl show with one line "its a show about you just becoming an adult but you are 30"
I love this show please do not cancel it!!!!!!!
Issa Rae seems pretty chill.
She so beautiful!!!
I lovvveee this show, I wish it stayed on an hour. I 've watched each episode at least 3 times.

Envy normally be quiet in interviews unless somebody brings up cars or money.
I swear I live for the moments of her show when she's going off or rapping in the bathroom mirror. 😂😂😂
MzzPhattyPhatPhat right?! i loved when she was putting on the different lipstick colors before the club. the black lipstick personality was aggressive af! lol Pussy pot pie lol
Ive never seen charlemagne so respectful of a woman. That's on point
a black one anyway
J aeb I was just thinking this
J aeb He is too some, and some he's not.
Hectic! True tho. That's what education does.
J aeb yeah i haven't either
Shes very intelligent and beautiful & Black .....Trick Daddy where you at!!?
Gemini Jones He wasnt talking about chicks like her obviously when you listen to what he said
Gemini Jones somewhere smoking weed and cocaine to cure his lupus
You guys are taking a guy named Trick Daddy waaay too seriously.
***** True true. Agreed
Trick gets a pass because he's an og.
Her skin is really beautiful.

Love Issa Rae. Have been a supporter of hers for years! Makes me so happy to see her achieve this success, and get the appropriating backing too!
Rikuphi me too! im so proud of her ♡
