This is the nightly show. cheers and applause larry thank you thank you welcome to the nightly show. Im larry wilmore. Were doing a special show to wrap up black history month. We will talk about the unique challenges facing black women from the workforce to dating. Were just going to get right into the talent. Joining me are actress and issa rae. Assistant professor from forthham university and author Christina Greer. Cohost of wnbcs new york live jacque reid. And the always funny comedian Marina Franklin marina. applause i thought we would talk about the workplace first. And to set it up. Lets look at a clip from sundays oscars, i think it will give us a good concept. It is our time to have Wage Equality once and for all. And equal rights for women in the United States of america. Larry okay now that is an issue that people are very familiar with you know women arent making as much as men but you might not know this part of it. Lets play this. When you talk about the issue of equal pay were especially suffering, the wage gap with white women is 78 cents to the dollar for black women its 46 cents to the dollar. Larry i will start with you because you talked about this. Is this a real number . What is the origin of this . How do we even get there. Right, we need to think about this historically. So i will just choose the new deal with fdr right. Larry thats going back too far. Coy go back. You were making i could go back even further but lets take fdr had to make concessions with white southerners so he excluded black domestics, so if you exclude black domestics to make the new deal happen we know over time there is a lack of wealth that has been able to be built because decade after decade black women in particular were paid less and we know when she says women she means white women. She said later on something about women of color. But she did suggest that if black men made 1. 36 than black women would be paging a dollar. No she didnt suggest that im paging that up patricia arquette. Larry do you think the combination of black and women make this is that the Biggest Issue to advancement in the workforce for you, that combination or is just a women thing. No its definitely an africanamerican thing and its being a female as well. I mean its just like a woman said in the clip. s dealing with the same issues that a lot of black men deal with advancing in the workplace and were also dealing with a lot of issues that women deal with advancing in the workplace. I mean hi a white manager tell me one time that he was afraid of me. And anybody who knows me i mean im not i dont, you know come in with a gun or you know with gang signs or anything like that im just you know a typical black girl. And she told me she was afraid of me because im a strong woman im opinionated and i say what i feel needs to be saidment but that is the environment in the media. Everybody does that. Right. But she was afraid of me. applause larry wow. I want to show another clip because this is something that i always heard from my parents. Lets show this and i want to talk about it. You have to be what . What . Twice as good. Twice add good as them to get half what they have. Larry now a lot of you ladies may not be familiar with that show, okay. Its called scandal. You may not be watching it. Now issa you work like four times as hard as anybody i know. Are you getting close to half . If i were a white guy i would be i would rule this world right now. Im in the lying. Like i would have i would have been at the oscars, i would have been hosting. Larry as an entrepreneur do you think that, are you making a web series. I am, but i feel like ive had to go the untraditional route because i tried to break in mainstream mediawise and ive been shut out. Ive been told i dont have an audience and i feel like the internet has allowed me to find that niche audience. Larry do you feel like its a disability. I feel like were not on the radar of executives who happen to be white men. If you are not in the circle you know its kind of an Old Boys Network and if you are not in that circle they tend to hire who they know and are familiar with. And thats the thing. You have a conversation you dont talk about were if the going to bring that up in a conversation were not talking about hockey and golf. There are code words about people feel uncomfortable as an academic i get that too. They are afraid. Larry why are they afraid . What are they think going to happen . These are code words. These are code words that we know exist in all different occupations. Larry uhhuh. Its funny Charles Sandberg had that phrase lean in be more assertive. Do you think like i am right now sorry. Larry is there a thing that black women might be penalized for that in the workplace. I feel like whenever we assert our ef ourselves there is always the bitch factor or difficult. Larry well get to that. Were too per pro miss coup is. Im definitely promiscuous. I try to be but yeah its a problem. Its like oh look at what shes wearing. Who is she trying to get. Trying to get my white man. I am absolutely trying to get your white man. laughter larry youre trying to get their white man. Absolutely. Larry is there a problem with not wanting to seem too angry . Is that like are you always trying to check yourself. Yeah because after that woman the manager told me that she was afraid of me i did have to kind of say what am i doing to make her feel afraid. Talking. Just being myself. Because sandberg came up with this lean in thing. Black women weve been leaning in forever. The problem is that no one is letting us advance. Right. For leaning in weve been leaning in, but we dont advance for that. applause we get pushed back. Larry marina have you found that you have to work twice as hard, do you have to work twice as hard as carrot top just to get wow, i hope i am working at least a little harder than carrot top. But yeah, i do feel like my funny has to be undeniable. Like jones is a great example of a very hilarious woman. It took her a long time to even be recognized. And so its like yeah, you have to be undeniable on stage. And lesley said the community, when are you on stage people are looking for you to represent black people and thats a lot of pressure. Larry . They are going to shut up about it. Larry i want to talk about more of this in terms of relationships and how it plays out. Well be right back and get more into this conversation. cheers and applause the secret to a great night out. Beer meat and cheese. Oh, and great friends to share them with.

I want to get more into relationships and the unique challenges that black women may face. Here is another clip want to show. I am a cousin who i said couldnt marry. Couldnt keep his in his pants expect with a quite woman then the fool goes and kills the white woman. Larry apologize forshowing these obscure clips that is from how to get away with murderment i dont know if you have seen this. Another one of these bro shows. But talk about interracial dating. I want to say, you brought this up you have some funny things to say about this. Do you feel it is a unique challenge as a black woman in dating. I say that black women and asian men are at the bottom of the dating totem pole. Its true. Like ask around. Larry the dating totem pole. Were at the bottom. Go to match. Com go to any one, the least chosen is. Larry people say that. They tell you the statistics but the more educated the black woman tend to go, and this is speaking from my own Colleague Experience my friends my girlfriends and i will find that the guys, the pool of guys is so limited. And it was they knew that they were educated. They werent in jail, they didnt have kids we have options so it works for us. And that made it unappealing. So we tend to either you know. Larry feel isolated. Feel isolated and feel discouraged from pursuing i guess black love and. Larry you have been pretty public about your dating travails. Yes, i have been larry. Larry and you are an edmakated woman, as they say. What are some of the obstacles from your point of view on this. With dating interracially . Larry yeah. I for me, i think the numbers for match. Com are kind of skewed because i think a lot of black people dont go there so they are polling people that arent necessarily showing up. You know, because i love that people can shows scandal and how to get away with murder and black women are dating interracially and very desired. Its a business. Putting us out there as attractive. Putting us out there as attractive. And i dont think we ever were not attractive. Larry do you feel like there is a small pool of candidates, if you want to stay within your race . I do. I do. I feel like quality you know, and i have standards. People want to say that im picky but i have standards. And i think finding a and i think theres nothing wrong with that. But i think finding a quality black man is like finding a 100 on the sidewalk in midtown manhattan. If its there its not going to stay there long. I will give a quick example. Larry okay because the black men now are on twitter. Hi a girlfriend call me said this guy i went to college w he is a doctor, just got divorced. I want to hook you up. I am going to do some and try to get in touch. I said no, no, call now. And she was like well ill call him later in the week. Larry you didnt want that 100 bill to blow away. She said all right all right call him now. Called me and called him back and said hes already that is hilarious. You make jokes about dating white guys, do you get paid for that . Well, yeah im on youtube you go and see it. And i talk about dating white men and its not like im excluding dating black men but for some reason, they focus in on that i dont want to date black men. Like my younger white boy friend that im currently seeing is always saying. Larry i like how she put in, my younger emphasis on younger. I was going to say to you if you want just go young. Because you can raise them and mate them. Larry i want to hear that you are married both you and your husband have ph. Ds but are you sitting here braggy and gloaty. She is the envy of the group. No you about i will say this i just i want to make sure people dont think that black men are uni corns either. Larry exactly. There are plenty. Larry thank you. I am not going to say a plethora but there are some you know and maybe my thought process when good black men. Listen everyone comes with some everyone comes with some assembly required. Im not saying great. Just sometimes it can be a few batteries here and there. Sometimes it is a model airplane kit with no instructions. And it depends on what you feel you want to do. Like and how much effort you want to put it into it. Larry do you think it makes a difference saying i dont think there is anything wrong with somebody wanting to date or be with someone like you, unless you are white and then its racist. I will confess that i have i have seen like black men and friends of mine we have been guilty of seeing black men date outside your race and. Larry you guys give black men a hard time. Black men give black women a hard time. There are black men that wont see scandal because of that. Because Kerry Washington character is involved with a white man. Larry now im never watching it. When i see a black woman with a white man or with someone outside the race i tend to be like girl, you get it. I know you tried. I will say this though, we have to also again, think historically, we know as a fact that in this country black boys in third grade thats when teachers start to fear them and they detract and all of a sudden they are a threat to their teacher a classmate and so were starting this at a really young age. Larry there is a whole lot of social logical reasonsing especially when you are talking about class. You are talking about education. Some people never get to be candidates. And that sort of thing. And thats a much longer conversation. But i will come back to the whole does that touch a nerve. Sure does. Larry why does that touch a nerve. Because who is saying it. Frostiness goes with the attitude that they say black women have. And its really in the eye of the beholder, right. Right. The reason you say a black woman has an attitude or is bossy is probably because youve done something wrong okay. laughter larry. Larry marina. Larry its like when much blacker when she is talking about that than talking about her white boyfriend. People want to look at black women and say we are bossi. But in actuality, we have vision. And we see things, like my bossiness, to you im being bossi but im just trying to give you help about something that you dont think you need help about. So you think you dont want that help im just trying to help you. Larry thats not bossiness. Thats what you think it is bossi. The reason why bossi strikes us differently because as someone who has to advocate for herself constantly right in the white supremacist country black society and two bossi is one of these words where if are you educated and are you black and articulate and it is one of those words that it is a black handed articulate is a backhanded compliment. Larry the fact of the mat certificate we all know the black families are falling part for many reasons women had to take the lead. Had to be assertive. I dont think black women should be penalized for that i get the last word on that right. Well be right back. Thanks for inviting me to come fishing. Thank mary.
