I love this interview!!! it is great to answer questions without getting worked up and serious i.e. putting off viewers by getting to moody about things like the world and the Universe. To explain what you mean and be articulate and make it look easy seems super easy. It is an art that most people feel that they can do with a snap of their fingers. Head to heart explanation are hard, look this up in google if you want to work in Hollywood practice. Ms Shahidi can run for President!!! Yara Shahidi has values and the ability to understand than the Universe more than herself.

What a superb comment!

Chim Link dumb it down for the black folks is what I heard 🙄

Yeah I took it the other way, suggesting the black audience was not intelligent enough to follow her.

Yeah. "Intergenerational" is not a big word.

This is an educated woman please don't tell to stop speaking in her normal way . Am sure Jemele didn't mean for that statement to be so stupid ! I 've always admire her but didn't appreciate that remark about using big words . Think for one minute how many times in her life people have said you don't sound black . We know what black sound like to most people but you should know better !

Nolizwi I'm also cheering for her all the way to the White House!

Then why does she stand by Jussie?

@@rande2121 that was stupid.

Right...ugh

True she looks so intimidated

She's only 19

I’m so glad at this young age your inspired by positive energy. Which means you must be just as positive and smart.

Speak on it child👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I want to be jealous but I admire this cutie so much✊🏾 good things are coming for her!

Right I noticed that

Thank you!

Yara handled herself do well - so well!!!!

Agreed. Intimidated maybe?

Why hasn't this interview gone viral? Yara's energy and enthusiasm ignites our collective dream to pass the torch to young women of her caliber. Thank you for exposing her intellect and oratory excellence. She is definitely a force to be reckoned with now and the future.

Amaysin Fitness right! 🙄

she was clearly joking. 🙄

lime light exactly that’s why they said, “he said its not funny”

@@jay_baby_lacy3911 blk women have the highest rate of college enrollment of any grp of americans, male or female. i think we can survive a light hearted joke from a college educated blk female journalist about using big words. #lightenup

She jokingly said it because there are people in the audience and who will listen who may not know what that means. When I speak publicly I do consider my audience and speak to the lowest level of understanding and I don't mean insensitive or street language. She and Jemele are highly intelligent women.

I though it was distasteful

Piper Tarver Yes, it’s sad that’s a surprising response to her living at home especially at 19, money has nothing to do with it.

Hollywood need more teen actors to have the love and support of their family. I lived with my parents til I got married at 24, after graduating from graduate school. I'm so glad had this time because once married moved across country. It became difficult to see them, and then unexpectedly my mom passed. Moved back home to help my dad and so he could know his grandkids on more intimate level by getting to see them daily or regularly. Michael B Jordan also lived with his parents and he also has a very supportive foundation, and it's good for these young artist to have this when it's so much negativity that goes on in the industry.

Jay Hollow yassss!

I agree. Loved hearing Yara speak, did not like the interviewer at all.

She said a few things that were less than smart. So what if someone white called out blackish? I was not very impressed with her interviewing skill on this occasion.

I didn’t like that comment either

yal tripping trippin It was a joke live a little

@@makemsaydee25 I live plenty! This is an interview, the responsibility of an interviewer is to be insightful, witty and informative. There were several times that she was none of these things. It was certainly not funny, just made her sound dim. That's my opinion. You don't agree, keep scrolling. Have a beautiful day.

no shade to the interviewer but it was like Yara interviewed herself

Agreed. The woman is annoying.

That's because yara's intelligence so far surpasses anyone she sits down with she answers the questions brilliantly and forever takes the conversation to a higher level

Yes

Same here!

Sarah Jane lmao ok? Why

@@dkgamers223 Ha LMAO whoops! I commented on the wrong video - was watching laurieann gibson on hot 97 and this must have auto played next!

@@sarahjane4266 lol now that makes sense! lmao

Lololol I was like why in the world would you want to see that? Yara sucks at dancing. Lol

@@sarahjane4266 lol I wondered myself.

Seriously? What is up with all the hate for the interviewer? It's honeslty disgusting. It's just a thing in America, where kids are usually pushed out or want to leave as soon as possible. The question wasn't offensive and Yara gave a great answer.

She's from a successful family. They probably live in a mansion.

AF

So true. Jamele didn't rise to the occasion here. She's so cynical.

BRO...U are not being negative, you're speaking facts. This host would be better hosting The Love & Hiphop reunions. She definitely shouldn't host a show called Genuis Talk.

What's going on...why the hate for Oprah?

Ayden_Chadway I was just going to comment that if you are going to interview someone as intelligent as Yara...you need a host on her level...this was shameful.

@@livelaughteachenglish3750 Absolutely...I stopped supporting the host after this.

Ayden_Chadway yes, I can understand that. It also felt like she was hating a little. It was weird energy.
