You're listening to Okay Now Listen, a bi-weekly show where we chat about what's on our minds,

what we're binging and what's blowing up our timelines. I'm Scotty Bean, I'm a media personality content creator music enthusiasts and a winged

connoisseur and I'm Sylvia Obel I'm a culture writer host producer and lover of

Beyonce and this week this past week has been rough Sylvia a lot it's been rough

Sylvia a lot it's been very exhausting yeah girl I'm all the black women inside of me are tired.

Jaunted. Naira Wahid. Yes she I I felt when she said that I felt that.

She must have had the prophetic wisdom to see what

2020 was going to be like for us because every week I think I can't get more tired

than the week before and 2020 proves me wrong like just you know it's not even been a full week since we

Heard the verdict about the grand jury verdict about Brianna Taylor that we all knew was coming but was

didn't want to hear anyway like I saw you tweet that she weren't surprised I know a

lot people were like we're not surprised we're just disappointed. It's just a

constant reminder that like America does not value black people at all. There's like

zero respect and although like I'm supposed to know that and I know that but

constantly being you know it being shoved in my face is getting exhausting yes and

it's making me angry I remember like Langston Hughes said Negroes sweet and

docile me humble and kind beware the day they changed their minds that was cut like my mind was changing sweetheart like it was on that way and even I

tweeted like I said burn it down because at this at this the system is so fucked up and a system is working exactly how it's supposed to work

Right the only way we can you know fix the system is to burn it all the fuck down and start over.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

It's very disheartening.
