The Daily Show: Ears Edition - John Leguizamo Auditioning as a Latino Actor | Diane Guerrero | Princess Nokia

Episode Date: May 16, 2023

John Leguizamo has heard it all trying to make it as a Latino actor in Hollywood: "too Latino," "not Latino enough," "Latinos don't watch other Latinos." Step inside one of his auditions and hear the craziness for yourself. Then actor and activist, Diane Guerrero, talks about the need for more representation in Hollywood, the struggles she faced being separated from her immigrant parents at 14, and the way she proves her role in "Encanto" to children. And multi-hyphenate, Princess Nokia, discusses how she came up with her stage name, how John Leguizamo and Martin Lawrence are her biggest inspirations, and why she decided to allow herself to be publicly vulnerable with her new EP "i love you but this is goodbye."

You're listening to Comedy Central. You're listening to Comedy Central. Yo, I'm so excited to host this week. Thank you. And as I always say, it's such an honor to be a voice for Latinos on TV and film. But as I also always say, I wish the honor wasn't so rare. Hollywood's still struggling with representation on screen. According to a 2020 study by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative,

Latino performers appearing in only 5% of speaking roles in 2019's top 100 movies, despite being 18% of the total US population. I mean, yeah, I mean it's crazy. Latinos are almost 20% of the country, but we're barely represented in film and television, especially since every movie last year took place in the multiverse. Come on. You're telling me there ain't one dimension that's in the heights? Come on. And then when there is a good Latino role, it's going to people like James Franco. Well guess what?

If white people can take our roles, I'ma take theirs. That's right, when they do the TV series based on Gwyneth Paltrow's ski accident try? I'm gonna be Gwinneth Poultrow. He hit me so hard he knocked the egg right out of my vagina. Try not to visualize that please. The tr is, I myself have faced this type of discrimination. I mean, I can't tell you how many times in my career I've been told that auditions that I sound too Latino, not Latino enough, that Latinos don't want to watch other Latinos, all

sorts of madness. And sometimes I wish I could put all those casting directors and executives into one room and bring you guys in with me just to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the kind, to the kind, the kind, to to hear the kind of shit that I've been told. Luckily it turns out the Daily Show has the technology to do just that. You're gonna be all right. I promise you. And seen. Wow. That was quite spectacular, John. Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you.

I appreciate it. I'm impressed. You're very articulate. Oh yeah, and no accent. Full sentences. Huh? John, I almost forgot you're not white. Oh yeah, me too.

Can you imagine if you were white, Superstar alert? You'd be one of the big white guys, like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Tom Hardy, spitball. Have you thought of changing your name to Tom, Tom, Tom Legwazaa? Oh yeah, or how about a Tom, Legitomo and do a double Tom thing, you know? Oh, I like that. Hey, Tom, Tom.

Let me ask something. Yes, yes, yes, but also, tom. tom, tum. tum. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too. too. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to tho, to tho. too, too, too, too. too, too, too, too, too, too. to do a little more Latin? Yes, yes, yes, but also less Latin. So wait, more or less Latin? Exactly. Just do what you did in the George Lopez show. I'm not, I'm not in the George Lopez show. Right, right. I might be thinking of George Lopez. I just don't understand what you mean by do it less Latin. Well, see Latin people.

They want to see white people. White people named Tom. Well, you know how there's hot salsa and mild salsa. Well, people want ketchup. Well, speaking of anybody, you want to hit? Oh, hell yeah, chopp me. Oh, hell, that's a spicy. What's in that? Tomato.

All right, right, let's pick it from the top. And this time, John, can you do us a version that's a little more, you know, street? Aren't it playing a doctor? A Latin doctor? Yeah, but who's not Latin? Oh, but hold his pinae just in case. Oh, you're welcome. Hey, what the hell is wrong with you guys? Downtown, hey, hey, wait, wait.

All right, calm down, today. Relax, nothing bad to you. All right, calm down. Relax, y'all, relax. Relax, y'all, relax. Hi. They're excited. They're excitable. Hey, Diane.

Do people believe you when you tell them that you do the voice for Encanto because when I tell kids, nobody believes me. I have to sing the entire song. The whole song? The whole song? But then they believe you. Then they believe you. And then they believe you.

And then I have to do Oh yeah. And now I believe you. I wasn't sure it was in touch. But now I got it. Yeah, no, they don't get it. Even when I do the voice, you know, like, I don't know who I am. I don't know, they don't get it. Great. Because his face sares them. Yeah, no, you got to I barely got in the pocket, yeah. That's a hard one. Now let me switch it over to something else.

You're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, that's right. And every immigrant, yes. Thank you. Thank you. Columbia was f- Colombia, we were f-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a- What do you want people to know about your experience growing up? Yeah, well, when I was 14, my parents were separated from me. I'm a child of a separated family due to deportation and it, I mean, it ruined a lot of, it ruined me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you were 14 years old. I was 14 years old, yeah. Yeah, yeah, the immigration, INS, ICE came and took away your parents. That's right, and I had to grow up on my own and I had to make very, very difficult decisions on my own throughout my entire life. Can you imagine a kid just left alone at 14 to raise themselves so crazy. Not right. Not okay. And I mean I've gone through a lot of therapy and I'm still going through therapy and I'm you know

you know I've I've relied on my community to support me in this and I have been very candid I wrote a book in 2016 above my experience and the country love this thank you.

My family and I were separated like for 20 years. I mean I've been able to go back but they haven't been able to come here and so, you know, pandemic happened and I was like, what am I going to do here? Like, die in LA by myself. So I bought a farm in the mountains of Colombia and I'm now, now I'm living there. My dad sadly passed away a year ago, but I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you so much. But my mom is there. I'm close to my family and no one's ever going to separate us ever.

Oh, good for you. Good for you. Good for you. Yeah. Now, I also hear that you're the leading actor. No, you joined a whole bunch of leading actors in the visionary lines for the National Hispanic Media Coalition. I had to read that because that's a long title. You're not the leading actor. No I'm not the leading actor. I'm one of the actors. Oh one of them, okay. Yes. And then, and what is the mission statement of the coalition? Look, in I'll girly, but I'll give you some numbers. In 2022, only three women of color directed a top 100 film.

In the span of 16 years, okay, 21 female directors, women of color directors directed 21 films out of 1,600 films. That's crazy. I'm not a math girly, like I said. And people of color are at least 40% of the population if not a lot more because white people are only 59% of the population. Right, right. So then. I mean that's getting into more numbers than I rehearsed. Oh yeah. But I'm a math boy. You are a math boy. Yeah. Well all I know is that that's cultural apartheid. Yes. Right. And I know that's a term that you use a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I. I. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I. I'm. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. theid. Yes. Right? And I know that's the term that you use a lot, and I follow you and I follow your work. Thank you so much Johnny Lutz for doing this. Oh, yeah, yeah. You're the good work rights and inspiring me to do the work that I'm doing alongside you. Um, what we need allies and we need people like you. We want the right kind of representation. We're tired of the only things getting made about us.

Drug lords, criminals, cops. Mage. Mage. Hookers. Right. Right. What we, we want to be represented as we are real, beautiful, curious, you know, existential crises have been. And yes, maybe even mediocre. Right, right? And if somebody... Because why people get to be mediocre all the time?

Oh my God. I mean, I'm jealous because white people get to fail upwards. Just peruse. I can barely succeed upwards. I to fail upwards. Just peruse. Just peruse. I can barely succeed upwards. Agreed. Likewise. Just peruse through the canon of like mediocre films of dysfunctional life families. Jack and Jill. The canon is rich.

Yes, it is. We deserve to be allowed to fail on camera, people. I want to fail in big movies. Can we make crap? Yes. I want to make crap on television, on streaming. I want to be like white people. I want to make mammoth, mammoth, meatball, and get paid for it.

Ain't nobody paid for a test to do that? Exactly. They work really well in sushi kitchens, pizzerias. We gotta cook all the food to this goddamn country. Just like we deserve to be excellent. We deserve to make crap as well and everything in between. Well, thank you. Thank you so much. I've been thinking about the term people of color came out, POC.

I loved it. I thought, oh my god, this is so incredible. It's going to unify us, it's going to bring us together, it's going to make us stronger. And then I started to see that people of color was sort of working, but it was excluding Latin people even more. Like, I started to see that people of color was sort of working, but it was excluding Latin people even more. Like, I started to see that land people were not being included. That we were actually less included. So I started having beef with the New York Times, because I was like, there's no Latin stories, where are you Latin journalists? I mean, there were no names there.

I was looking for those names, but you can only see it when they were like showing the Yankees sports pages. And I'm not gonna, you know, so they got upset with me because I was upset at them. And then they called me up and said, John, you're so wrong because we've got, we were about 10% more people of color. I say that's fantastic. That's so awesome. That's my dream come true

How many of those people are Latin? None now they have maybe one or two percent journalists At the New York Times, but it's not enough. You know, I don't want to be reading about Latin recipes written by Heidi the. And the term people color is cool, but not if it's excluted Latin people. I mean, we're half. those of those of those of those of those of those of th of th of th of th of th of th of th of thi thi thi thi. thi. tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho those those tho tho tho tho tho tho people. tho people. tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. tho thu. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. their their their their their their their their their thate. the. the. the. the. the. the. thea. thean. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. tho., but not if it's excluding Latin people. I mean, we're half of the people of color. People of color are 40% of the US population, and we're 50% of that POC, but we're less than 1% of the leads and movies and television and streaming, less than 1% of the stories being told, less than point something, 1% of the executives. And I'm starting to think that,

do we have to get more aggressive? Do we have to get more assertive about ourselves? Do we have to start like boycotting, picketing, obviously calling, hunger strikes? What do we have to do to make this change? Because it's got to happen before my kids get old and before I pass. It's got to change now. Should we make the Puerto Rican Day parade like longer?

Go up every street, make the Puerto Rican day parade for a month. Do we cancel Hamilton? My guest tonight is the Queen of the New York Underground, a rapper, songwriter, and actor, and her new EP is called I Love You, but this is Goodbye. Please welcome Princess Nokia. Please welcome Princess Nokia. Look at that reception. Look at that reception. Look at that reception. Oh no, they love you.

Yeah. Yeah, you're a multi-hyphanate, a singer, actor, producer, director, voice actor. Oh, yeah. that's a multi-hyphanate, a singer, actor, voice actor. Oh, yeah. But isn't the idea of being very successful to have to work less? Yes, I mean, some would say, working hard or not smarter. I am a multi-hyphenate. I've done so many things, musician, actress, comedian, actress, and comedian, and comedian, and comedian, and comedian, and comedian, and to to to to the the the the the the the the the thi and thi and thi and thi and thi and thi and thi.

I am a multi-hyphanet. I've done so many things, musician, actress, comedian, director, songwriter, and what drives that? What drives all that?

Oh, creativity, you know, the need to want to express myself, taking boredom. And, you know, they say, bored idleness is the devil's playground. Yeah, yeah, and I don't ever the need need need need to do it to do it the need the need to do it thiiiiiiiiii n n n n n n n n n n n na. And you thi. And you thi. And you thi.

I just want to have fun. Yeah, and you do it. Your work is so powerful. I mean, I'm so inspired by you. Thank you.

And you chose your stage name Nokia because the telephone because the telephone is so undistructable. I would say so it's a finished company at the time. I was using Obama phones because you know we was just that poor. Yeah, yeah. So I couldn't call myself Princess Obama phone and I just, I was too young to have an Okia. But I chose something with a futurist angle because I liked the idea of having something old and new. And they, you know, Disney princesses, all their moms are dead and my mom's dead. So I figured well let me add a little a a a a a a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little little a little a little little little a little little little little a little little little little a little little little little little little little little little little little little the the the the the the the the the the the the the thue. thue. the thuuice. thue. thoom. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. the the the the thi. thi. the thi. thi. the thi. thi. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their pri. their pru. their, all their moms are dead and my mom's dead. So I figured, well, let me add a little dead humor to that as well. I love the way you mix it all together. It's amazing.

We're both, with both street kids. Yes, we are. You know, I went to the Fresh Air Fund, they survived the public, New York City school system. How do you use your streetness and your lens of the latinidad to do your storytelling? Oh, well, I was really fortunate to grow up in an extremely vivid cultural upbringing. You know, being Afro-Indiogynis was what I was supposed to do on the weekend. When my girlfriend was playing double Dutch and hanging rope, I was at Powell's just like, why, you know, like, I loved my upbringing,

but it's funny because, you know, there's so many intersections of my childhood. And there's the public school, you know, being in Jefferson Park with my friends. And then there was the times where I didn't connect with my friends where I didn't get to have sneakers or you know be wearing lip gloves that I had to, you know, go to ceremonies or do go to the UN to do a performance or something of the sort. But I think that, you know, I'm very straight, I'm very protective, I'm very protective, you know, I was taught to fight with my words in my hands and and be vivacious and be protective and I am protective of myself and my loved ones.

Yeah, no, that comes out in your work. I mean, I'm such a big fan of your work because you know, I feel like I see myself in you you know and it revitalizes me as a as an older artist seeing like the young Latinas that have you know such self-worth and strength and byvassity and not afraid of their power and strength. Yeah. Yeah. I was, I was telling John, I was telling, I was telling John earlier that he's one of my biggest inspirations, is him and Martin Lawrence that created my identity.

Yeah. I feel like Martin Lawrenceowe's. We're about the same height. We're both short kings. I'm there too. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like I watched freak sex-aholic, spickorama, ghetto clown, you know, like, Jesus Christ. You watch that inappropriate crap? Come on. No, they allowed me to watch it. It was the, it was our household thing. It's we, we saw you and we saw ourselves. That's beautiful, because, thank you, thank you for all.

I mean, when I wrote my stuff, I wanted to write it for all the young Latino kids that weren't seeing them and and that they felt invisible and I wanted them to feel like I saw them. You know, that's why I wrote it. Now you got your new EP coming out, right? It's already out. Oh, it's already out. That's okay. Everything is misinformed. But this is about love, though.

. This is about love tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, thi, tho, th. I, th. I, th, th, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And,, yeah. But this is about love, though. This is the first time you're talking about love. You've never been this vulnerable before. No. Why now? It was, it was the Tom. I was speaking, I always speak from my heart. I always speak from a personal experience.

You know, 1992 covers my life from childhood to adult, you know, girl Ky Red is about my love for rock music. Everything is beautiful, is a neo-soul, jazz album with R&B. Everything sucks, kind of had like a ICP effect to it. It was a little bit more fun. In this I stripped it down. I wanted to sing. I would say when I MC I'm happy and when I sing I'm sad. Like when I got the blues, I sing. So I had the blues and I was gonna get married in that dress, and I didn't. And I like using, no, it's okay. It's okay, like, I'm a young woman.

And I said this to Billboard and the insider. I said, everyone is so used to me being a rapper, the strong woman, the soup thrower, you know, the voice of a generation. But no one has ever heard me. And I've never allowed myself to be that vulnerable. I don't talk about my personal life online. So no one would know who I'm dating. No one knows who I'm talking about. It's no one I've ever posted publicly. So I've thapapapapapapapapapapap. the idea I've th. their I've their I've th. th. their I've th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. tho. tho. their their I've tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the. the. theateateateateateateateateate. I thoooooooooooooooooome. I the. thooooo's going on. So I put all of these intricate things about a failed relationship,

but the takeaway of the project is really that that person was, excuse me, that person allowed me to feel love. They allowed me to feel a little something. You know, I hadn't dated in like five years. Oh wow. And like, I think that like I just, you know, hooked up with my child's sweetheart. And we had a love tunnel and it was fabulous. And it was all this hot and sexy and then and then scary. And then we were going to get married and it was going to be amazing. And then I they served my hot purpose. And I said, but th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And God th. And God th. And God th. And God th. And God th. And God th. And God th. And God th. And God th. And I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, thi. And, I th. And, I th. And, I th. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

I thi. going to get married and it was going to be amazing. And then I left because it didn't serve me. And I served my hot purpose and I spoke to God and God said, get your ass out there.

And I said, okay. And but I, I, I tell him, he's listened to the music. He loves the project. He was still good. Oh, that soup thing. What happened? What happened in that soup thing? I've never talked about it publicly. I'm so much. Oh, you're kidding. I'm not kidding. I don't know if you all know what happened. Well, she's going to tell you now. I've never spoken about it publicly because public attention gives me nervous and I was on the front of the Metro or in the metro and I was like, oh my god, my name's like, my name. My that my that my that my that my that my that my that my that my that my that my that my that that that that that that that that that that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, that's that's th. that's, that's, th. that's, that's, th. She's, that's, that's th. th. that's the th. the th. th. the th. th. th. th. that's that's that's that's th. I's that's th. I's th. th. th's like in the paper. Right, because it went viral. That video went viral. I still don't realize that I'm a person of interest.

Like for me, I'm just destiny. Well, if you throw hot soup in somebody's face, you're going to be of interest to a lot of people. This is what happened. This is from the horse's mouth. Before that man started saying slurs, a to to to to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to to say, to to to thi, to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the thi......... to me. to me, to. to. to. to. to, to, to, to, to, to, th... to. to are like on a basketball team, black and Latino brothers, and I remember thinking, wow, look at kids getting air, being outside, being healthy, playing sports. That's a beautiful thing. You look, oh my people, look at, oh look at young men, being a gentleman, okay.

And this man came onto the train and he bumped them purposely. And I, that was the first thing I seen, I seen an adult bump, oh, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, thin, thin, that, that, that, that, that, they their, their, their, their, their, their, they, they, they, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, said, said, saying, saying, they, saying, they-s, saying, saying, they-s, theymea, saying, they-s, theymea, they-s, they-s, they, they-rain and he bumped them purposely and I that was the first thing I seen I seen an adult bump a child and I thought that was very weird and then when they got off he drunkenly just said these and words and I got up and I say how dare you and I just sucked him in the eye and he called me wait but you punch him first yeah oh wow so I didn't want to say that I said it on twit o' the- th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the th the the th the their th their th their th th the their the the the the the the the the their their try their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their toy toy toy toy toy toy toy toy train train train train train train. train. train. train. train. train. train.

But, you know, I was like, oh man. You got some money now.

So, that's actually what happened. There was a whole discourse before the soup. very last. What I says, you're not about to talk about black people like that, not in my face. I would never, like xenophobia and anti-blackness, that make my skin crawl. I'm like that. And you can't stay quiet because if you stay quiet then you're kind of guilty. Well, people stay quiet because people are crazy. You don't know what they're capable of. He could have punched me back. He could have sped me. And I had been punched back before standing up for my soul. I got really lucky. Then he started hurling racial slurs at me. And when I said what I said, I said to him very distinctly, you don't ever talk about people like that. Don't ever fix your mouth to say something like that. A whole bunch of men came to my aid. And it was brothers and people just, it was like the train of New York just came behind my back and these two brothers they looked at me said we got you sis I said okay and then we and then everybody like white black

pocadot red was like you can't talk like that that's not okay right there was white men going dude what's wrong with you are you are you sick and don't you love that don't you know it was beautiful it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like it was like a a a a a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th I I was I was I was I was I was th was th. th. th. the. the. ttttttttttttte. the. the. the. the. the. I- Don't you love that? No, it was beautiful. It was like, it was like, it was a rainbow nation. And it was so, it was so- You're gonna make me cry. That kind of stuff makes me cry when we're all together.

It was all collectively threw him off the train. It was thing. I used to get me a butternist squash soup and go to Brooklyn and you know be a New Yorker and and I was like well shit I excuse me I'm sorry. Oh man well. They've heard worse from me. He done said racial slurs he done got in my face he done made a fool of, he about to get this soup too. So I just, I was like, you know what, I've already punched him, I've already done that, that's all off camera. I said, I remember I went to get my bag, because I was like, oh my bag, and then I was

like, soup. And without even thinking about it, I'm thinking about it, without even thinking about, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I've, I, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 14th Street to the first stop of the El train. So you know that underground tunnel's like extra three minutes. So it's like it felt like a long time but it was just one train stop and it was it was it was wild the night and I stand behind that you know I was taught I was taught I was taught I was told to always to always to always to always to always to always to always to always to always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always to always to always to always to always to always to always. if you are about something, be about something. And I would never strike my brother's sister unless they provoke you first. But when it comes to defending blackness, or Latinidad being indigent, anything, you know, that I am mixed with.

Anybody is vulnerable, yeah. Absolutely. And we were just at a point in the time, like in society where that rhetoric was just so, you know. And I, right, right. I caught caught caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I caught, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, I, I, I, that caught that man in his face. Because you got it like that. She's a poetess, a singer, sensitive, and she can knock you out. I mean, you're the perfect woman. I'm pretty frail, but I would like to think that I can always you know if a friend is in need I can help well I'm a friend in need if you ever need me I got you
