Who's ready for some

girl

talk part of the day? I'm looking forward to this too, so first, the season premiere of Saturday Night Live wasn't on Saturday, but one of the newest cast members is already making headlines, Melissa Villaseñor, yes. I get it Adrienne, yes you did, who will be the first Latina cast member, is facing backlash for deleting more than 2,000 tweets on her Twitter account after it was announced she was joining the show. Some of the controversial tweets dating back several years. many people claim that Melissa, who is Mexican-American, is racist due to its content.

Some tweets in question include I hate those Mexicans on bikes, they threw something at my car, the world doesn't need them, yeah okay, next one is coworker forever. 21 dates black guys and she said she would set me up on a blind date for Valentine's Day. I said yes, but I'm scared and my roommate's dog looks like an old Japanese man. Melissa hasn't commented on the controversy yet, but I want to ask you. Ladies, do you think this is a case of people overreacting to a comedian making

jokes

or feeling like his tweets crossed the line because I personally feel like if they delete his tweets, actions speak louder than words, you know I'm wrong, No? wrong, right, okay, as a Latina, I'm so excited that there's the first cast member I don't know, that's amazing, that's wrong, that's wrong, as excited as I am and I'm older, you know I'm super professional .

Like oh, she's lucky, she's not good, she's my cousin, yeah, but I'm like a cousin, but guys, it's bittersweet because it feels great, I guess there's a Latina out there, but that's a crazy representation, you know, especially when you're talking. about your own people, which maybe that made her feel better about it, you see, I'm even just mine, but it's still so unique that we definitely need to offend like we're not reading it between the lines, I guess I'm saying we don't need them . Like we don't need the Mexicans um, but I think that's just taking it a little bit as treasurer like Lonnie, you were a comedian.

Yeah, I wanted to know what the difference is between going too far and crossing the line and actually just making fun of yourself. and making fun of people trying to be funny, well first of all we haven't heard from her so I don't know what tone she said it in, yeah it could have been a real statement or it could have been a joke. are they ever not funny I would like to hear from her that I think I want I want to hear an apology or a statement or something from her because you I mean like you said Jeannie she deleted the tweet so Sebastian says yeah.

Angie a lot when you know and you, let's be honest, you don't know if those tweets are being deleted by her or by her publicist consultant or by a friend who is like a

girl

, well, guys, with a negative connotation associated with her, yeah, but she did it there. publicist you know what I'm saying the ones left guys these are the ones still on her twitter let's imagine what got deleted well she deleted what's up with bi saying if the Beehive recipient is really going to be a true? yeah, it wasn't good, it wasn't funny and it wasn't good, but this is the thing about comedy, comedy is subjective.

I always tell people that, the thing is there used to be a time when comedians the reason we liked Richard Pryor the reason we like George Carlin is because they joked about rich people, that's what I used to do. Being the comedy, we made fun of people, the one percent, now that we have entered this society where making fun of each other, but it is not making fun of each other, it is actually talking about each other and hurting our feelings. feelings. She would come looking for background comedies, young sitcoms, you know, for years I could look at her tweets and see that she was on. set it up as a joke like that, but it wasn't, it wasn't funny, like oh oh yeah, and then you lose the comedy when you feel like that, exactly saying someone, I mean, he looks like an old Japanese guy, I mean, there's no joke.

Yes, there is a joke. I'll say there isn't, but don't cut it. Don't comedians practice their stuff in front of people? Don't they practice their material? And if everyone says oh, then that's not funny, well, I use a joke. Now I know comedy has changed and people think they're comedians because they put things on Twitter and that's their instant audience, okay, but it's not necessarily that they're comedians and they don't necessarily practice like that, right? that is, I published something. I'm very aware of what I posted, you know, intentionally, because it's like we're now living in this society where we're supposed to lift each other up, not much. time something where you almost make people feel better about things that people like Richard Pryor I mean I grew up watching Richard Pryor movies and everyone in the family remembers that hello love that they knew how to make fun of people and then they would make you You laugh at the same time I never felt bad about what they were The person laughed with you Yes percent on SNL I want to see what happens So we'll be looking out for you girl, well we'll do one thing that a lot of people don't What you're laughing about is of a recent federal appeals court ruling that employees can legally choose not to hire someone based on Holly's hair.

Now this case comes from 2010 with a woman named Chastity Jones who was denied a job offer at an Alabama insurance company because of her locks and they quote that they said their locks tend to get dirty now that the controversial ruling has been received with much criticism, even sparking an online movement. Professional hash tag lots have been trending on Instagram with many people proudly showing off their lives. It is this? You know, there are many of them first of all when I go out with me and by far they are awake, they are aware that they have their yes, they stand together, they are my, they are the stigma that blocks, you know, you will stink of weed and you know and I'm sure you know what Well, it's nonsense, right?

I think employers should come to a middle ground when it comes to this because they actually said that breast hair is pretty, but you know it could get dirty, that's why you have the real you. You know things when it comes to dress codes, you keep it at a certain level, so she should be allowed to wear her locks, but anyone who goes to an interview and eats up the interview, you're losing, good people get dirty, Guess what, people, of course. hair gets this messy, we tell people with straight hair, I'm going to need you to wash your hair more than once a week because it gets greasy and you like having three strands of scalp, but I understand that Employers have certain guidelines and Certain issues I understand, but the guidelines I've said before are that I think the word "proper" has to be relative for some, since the way you look prevents you from performing the task at hand.

Yeah, so that's standing. in the way of your work, yes, but I've had locs before, like hair doesn't get in the way of your work, so she was mistreated and I think she was unfairly judged in that matter, any type of hair can be presentable. Ava Duvernay whether or not she attends the Oscars, which is very stupid and they don't even invite you, it's formal. Well, I wore locks on the show and it was great. I mean, I felt safe. I feel good. It looks presentable. I have a problem. What the woman said about her hair is that it is messy.

I think it was just her perspective. Someone like that really needs to educate themselves on what locks you really know are and where they originated from because you can put locks in a bun and you can put it right. and they're really pretty like braids, a low ponytail, do you guys know that locs actually originated in Egypt? I went to the Egyptian Museum and I saw a mummy with beautiful beaded locks and it's actually really beautiful, it's very majestic, it was, it was. Royal in the past, so I think the problem is that we really need to educate ourselves about style and change your perspective, like some of these people who hire people who can't grow one hair, so they might have one more Yes, they came.

They can't be used much. I want to emphasize that they should be clean because I see them a lot, but any care can leave mats everywhere, it shouldn't stop you from doing what you really want, as you already know. Well, from a hair debate to a health debate, if you're a fan of using fitness trackers to help you track your health, you might want to listen to your journey, wear the ones you have one ago, according to a new study. per the Journal of American Medical Association, those trackers may actually be sabotaging your fitness goals. Sorry dude, this girl, that study found that a lot of people who use fitness trackers end up discouraged if they don't meet the requirements set by them. and they tend to focus more on technology than achieving their goals, so it seems that establishing an old school diet and exercise plan may be more effective, it is a more effective way to motivate yourself and stay fit, when it comes to motivate.

I myself am using my wedding photos and your approach I am working hard oh my god she is like this did you guys ever wear the tight band I never wore it because it was never with my outlet Vanna JT wanted rose gold which I really I use it, I tried it when I was trying to lose the baby weight, yes, and I have to agree with that statement because when I saw that I met my goal, like I say ten thousand steps a day, I thought I did well. I'm going to have a cookie now, so it was like a little reward, yeah, I got it, I got rid of it and you know I'm old school, yeah, and that's how I have a plan, yeah, that's when I stay. great and I weigh three pounds of my people.

I used to weigh more and I remember I had the food diary. Do you remember to count each yes? You Googled it on Weight Watchers and they told you exactly how many calories almonds had. I read it and I would continue like that, but then I got to a place where I stocked myself and I learned what processed foods there you like, come in and calm down and no, I'm being good by leaving, it has to be done. go out you have to go out you can carry that at all and I learned what the best process is for me because each blood type eats differently and when I put aside that meticulous counting for myself, I just ate the right portions at the right time and then I I got into the natural structure of the body.

I'm supposed to be, I mean, I'll be honest when we talk about the Fitbit. This woman over there said, "Oh, it's working for you, it's working with you or you don't agree with us." or is it working for you I think it works why does it work well for you? Actually, when I look at it, I'm surprised how many steps I've taken in my heart rate, so I don't really look at it because I'm like, oh, I have to lose weight, but every time you look at them, look, oh wow, but I always boasted that you wore it to your wedding, that's how yeah, what do you have life in the bedroom?

Okay, I want to be able to do certain positions. So that's why I'm ready to get fit. Can the Fitbit test your calorie window? Don't you dress for that? Don't do it, but like she says, she sells out the wedding. I use my dorm life. I think I went to a detox last week and just when our position was that
