We never would say it. You don't give a damn, don't throw it up. Hey! Charlamagne, give it to him! Give it to him! On The Breakfast Club.

In the words of Charlamagne the guy, he's a donkey, that's it. He ain't no mother-****** dog. Ahem. Oh, man, Charlamagne, you giving Donkey Today the who now? Well, Buster Ron, it's Donkey Today for Tuesday today for Tuesday May 13th goes the summer from Baddies Africa respectfully I have never heard of this woman or this show in my life I asked Jess Hilarious this morning what is Baddies Africa and Jess explained it to me what did you say?

No I did not. Yes you did. Baddies is just baddies they just over there in Africa they took the shenanigans over there and still fighting over dumb stuff all them bitches same bitches. So you so it's no Africans? No, ain't no Africans on the show. Oh, they just doing it in Africa. Yes Okay And it's on Zeus

Yes, you know all the answers to all the questions you asking. What cuz that's cuz I asked you earlier now I still don't know what's going on But I saw that a young woman on the show named Summer issued an apology for something she said on the show. And I just thought it would be a great moment to teach. OK, let me read the headline. Summer issues an apology for recent controversial Emmett Till comments. Let's listen to the comments. You won't always miss.

Did you wish you could be like that? That bitch's face was like Emmett Till's. Damn. Oh, Summer. You didn't learn from Lil Wayne. Maybe you too young to remember, but Lil Wayne back in 2013, he had a line where he said,

beat that poom poom up like Emmett Till, and people got pissed, rightfully so. If you don't know who Emmett Till is, I would encourage you to watch the movie, Till, which came out in 2022. Simple and plain, Emmett Till was murdered in 1955 for allegedly flirting with a white woman Her name was Carolyn Bryant Dunham

She accused till of whistling at her and making unwanted advances and claimed till grabbed her and made lewd comments later She reportedly admitted the claims were false Okay, a lie look summer. I don't know you I respect your apology Because she did apologize already. And in her apology, she said, did I, what did she say? She said she is committed to learning and growing. She said a whole lot of other stuff, but I really want to hone in on that part. She said she is committed to learning and growing from this experience.

That's all we can ask of people. And I know some folks don't feel like they should have to teach people about certain things and I disagree because everyone doesn't know. So I'm going to give you three reasons people should never make jokes about the Emmett Till situation. Okay, number one, it's the symbol of racial terror and injustice. It was a brutal act of white supremacy that helped ignite the civil rights movement. We wouldn't enjoy the freedoms we have now without that movement summer.

So when you joke about a situation like that, you trivialize the pain and trauma inflicted on us black Americans. Number 2. It disrespects the family and legacy of Mammy Till. Mammy Till had an open casket funeral to show the world what racism and white supremacy had done to her son. When you make fun of how he looked, you make light of the gravity of her choice. Once again, that choice sparked the civil rights movement, which enables us to enjoy certain freedoms and liberties. Number three, it fuels desensitization. We already desensitized enough. We can't joke about extreme suffering because when we do that, it normalizes violence and makes people not have

empathy. When you laugh at atrocities like Emmett Till then it becomes easier to ignore them and repeat them. Black pain and trauma is not a joke. Okay those are my three reasons. Now I don't know if this is true or not. Jess you can tell me. But on the internet they say someone don't wash her ass? That's what they saying up and down the comments she dirty. What you mean? They say she don't wash her ass. They say she don't bathe or shower. I don't watch the show so I don't know. I don't know either. Yeah that's what they saying up and down the comments. She dirty. Which we get, they say she don't wash her ass. They say she don't bathe or shower. I don't watch the show, so I don't know. I don't know either. Okay.

That's what they said. Have you ever seen that on the show? No, I never seen anybody not bathe. I don't watch the show. My little sister does. I don't believe you. Okay. I saw a post on social media.

Okay. Me or Jess don't watch the show, allegedly. So I don't know if this is true on whether or not you babe or not Summer. All I know is you can't be dirty physically and mentally. Okay, you got to pick a struggle. So if you don't wash your ass, in the words of a great black philosopher, DG Yola,

you got to get yourself together and at least go give your brain a bath, okay? Go to church, start listening and get on the right path. Summer, Emmett Till was 14 years old when he was murdered over a lie. We can't be so morally bankrupt as a people that we on reality TV making jokes about Emmett Till. Because folks already think women on reality TV shows

like the one you are on are morally bankrupt. So don't prove them right. Please give summer from baddies Africa the biggest he-huh crazy all right you can't make sense I'm walking in the room someone don't take a bath I'm like Walker I heard him say that too and I thought he was talking about Summer Walker too that was the second time after I already asked you. I said who is Summer from Baddies Africa? And you went in. You was like oh my god that show is, nobody on that show is actually African. They auditioned a bunch of people from Africa but didn't choose one of them.

Oh absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All came from my little sister who watches the show. I watch Justin's Cabaret. I do not watch Baddies. You was on that one. I started watching. You was on the show too right?

I was on um... You, right? I was doing I was on Joss's cabaret. Oh Hosted the Reunion. Oh, okay. I used to watch baddies when Christian was on there and I watched a little bit when Sassiki came but then I stopped. Sassiki, that's Krishan's sister. But they fight for no reason. Like, it's no reason, no nothing. Like everybody just run around screaming, fighting. Well you watch it, that's the reason why.

And what was the context of that clip? Did somebody get beat up? Did that why she said that? Oh they were fighting? They were fighting. Oh, okay, okay. Alright, well thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed.

Now, this next topic is really intriguing to Charlamagne. He heard it was a TikTok trend, and he was very intrigued. Well, I heard it from Lex P and Dre. They was up here from the Paul Mines podcast, and you know, they got the new show on BET Travel Queens, and Lex said something that I had never heard before, but apparently it's a trend on TikTok. Do we have the clip? You know, they say they like bad weed.

They do. The white, they love a crunchy. Crunchy. They love a crunchy. The white man. She not dating in the right pool. They love a crunchy stale weed. They have that saying hard weed, soft life.

You know what I'm saying? I didn't make that up, Charlamagne. They see that. They do say that! We're going to have to open up the phones at some point because I don't believe that, I've never heard of white men like stiff wig. They do!

You said stiff wig, hard life? Hard wig, soft life! Who told you this? I'm serious, if you go look on TikTok right now and type hard wig, soft life, you're going to see nothing but interracial couples. White men, OK, all the white allies that listen to The Breakfast Club. OK, I need to know if this is true.

Do y'all like crunchy, stiff, stale wigs? Is hard wigs, soft life a thing? That can't be. You just botched on TikTok making up stuff. I can smell that right now. Like, it just, you can smell what? And I had me a little share of white men. And I ain't never told me they wanted no little bad wigs.

Were you wearing wigs back then? Yeah, I was wearing wigs. Was it crunchy? Little bit. But I did have some good ones too. I wasn't just wearing them for them. So there might be something to it then? It might be but- What is the question we're asking here this morning? I just asked it. White men, do you like crunchy, stiff, stale wigs?

It depends on the white man though, because I was dating like the Chan and Tatum, like the Chan and Tatum-ies, but if it's like a white Wall Street guy, I know they probably, they like the look at the black woman, look like she's struggling, so he can take care of her. Yeah. Okay, well listen to us, 1-800-585-1051, reach reach out and touch us right now white men. Okay, we want to hear from you I do not want to be reached out and touched about no white man. What are you talking about? Do you like crunchy stiff stale wings? You get one long braid. You got one long braid now

You don't want me to touch my white man. Okay Five eight five one oh five one white man out there, do you like crunchy wigs? Okay. It's all this hard wigs soft life, is that a thing? This educated show this morning. Right. Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club, come on.
