From my experience, it is possible to find love but not always mutual love. I did finally find love online but it took ten years of kissing a lot of frogs and me realizing what I was really looking for.

Intimacy is vital for me and our connection when we agree to be honest, respectful to one another. BDSM Dom Sir / Submissive relationship

Awesome channel...thank you.

THANK you my brothers and 🖤 black 👑 KING'S!!!

I think it's important to talk about black people who often become "infected" with patterns of thought that create a cognitive dissonance between the raced self and consciousness, and have grace for them. I think some times it's difficult for black people, especially those from predominantly black locations like Atlanta, to understand the consequence of a black person existing primarily in a white space and how it can breed ambivalence. if you ask me, Jerrod and Tyler "suffer" from ambivalence. I understand why it needs to be critiqued but I think it's important to have grace for black people like this. It's all survival at the end of the day.

Nice video.. lately I felt like shit because I’ve always had my shit together, and single .. and within the last half year I stopped having so much cause I thought I was going to move and now I met someone and we hit it offfff and now I have to bust my ass to figure it out because I need to drive and have a place again but on the emotional side I’m good

so the short term ghosting is cool .. but what happends when u put yrs 15 and love n patience and they get on there feet n ghost you and you loved them and put work. and your still Ghosting

If you date men, it's not unreasonable to expect them to be masculine - no-one chastises women for having the same expectation.

Brilliant commentary and insights. Thanks, brothers.

It seems that no one seems to talk about mpox. My doctor didn't know about it! We should always stay woke.

40:00 - He stated that he does not believe that people think it is sassy for men to cook. Yes, there are. I work with several of these men. Not only do they insinuate that cooking is "gay" they make it clear that they will not eat anything a man cooks because that suggests that they, the eaters, are gay. One brother even has a female barber because having a male barber is "gay." Unfortunately, this idea is real.

Many gay men hate women too. We are not dolls and yr sass isn’t sass it’s disrespectful and not cute, zesty straight men know this y’all should know too stop the gaslighting

Fantastic

I agree with akeem... the Tyler thing was not real for me ....

The show is awful.... jerrod is a narcissist who only looks out 4 himself.... the show is just him forcing and trying to get justification 4 wrong doings that he feels was done to HIM.....HE IS A TWAT !!!!! He overshares in the show, but only to kinda embarass other ppls or put them in awful situations .... he is not making this reality show to learn ....he is making it to boost his ego ..i mean , he cheats on his boyf but keeps doing it but now is he chesting just for shock value 😂😂

This entire thing of unpacking. Which to me on this subject would just be the black gay gaze. That form of personalized scrutiny is really the denial of confusion and unapproachable understanding of something that could not be completely understood. It would be like trying to say why i am queer. And just has the heteronormative hegemony wanted answers the aforesaid not to gain understanding or insight but the loci where one can begin undoing something unapproachable to their understanding. Sometimes the place of not understanding and holding acceptance is the most benificiak mental position to have. And unpacking his show depersonalizes him and flattens his journey because in an assumption that external subjects can unpack this man’s life when his life and job are unpacking in comedy. And this lufeling unfolding would be in hubris lacking amity or open mindedness would attempt to dissect and undone him so he can be salvage and remade into an image or likeness more like those that judge. It really became glaring if i check my positionality and challenge my epistemology because with out such a check on this the faulty cognitive bias and foggy lens under which one barley unpacks ones on luggage beams an arch of violence not the compassion or understanding or the relinquishing of gaze standards and marginalizing tools we have picked up in our journey of assimilation to unpack or punch down on another black man. From my experience I have been most violently assailed by GBM and black people because of my lack of conformity. And that leaves some of the GBM diaspora without community and compounded rejection. I would encourage you to unpack why you want think and believe youcan unpack another persons issue. For what?. Not surprised just bored. p

Asé!!

This was a great discussion!

❤

The sentiments in the first five minutes from the two gentlemen is exactly what Jerrod wanted. Sympathy and to use blackness to validate his self inflicting experiences.

Their interracial dating aside, the Jerrods and Tyler The Creators of the world aren't even desirable to most Black gay men. So why are ppl acting like they care about their actions, when they wouldn't look twice at them if they weren't famous?

No black people like weirdo sambo Jerrod Carmichael , white people like him

This can segue into speaking about the usage of the word "Diddy" as a pejorative term within social media spaces, mainly Facebook. Of all the allegations, it seems as if people are more concerned with the homosexual aspects of the case instead of his criminality. "Diddy" can be seen as a new kind of F-word, used both as a noun, a verb, and as an adjective.

What a great discussion! I enjoyed listening and relating to the different the insights and experiences of each of the panelists. I appreciated the questions around who the Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show is targeted to and why it’s needed.

I'm excited to hear this conversation.

The very first thing Deion said is 🎯

Whew! Y'all are hitting nails on the head! 🎯

In my opinion, his whole show was degrading. I think he could have found a better way to express his pain. 🤓

Never seen the show but this was a great conversation! Also, I'm a proud foot fetishist so...

I love the show and completely identify with his experience and intent.

To The Point Of Who It's For: You have to consider who funded it. I've met a lot of black gay men from the south who moved to Southern California and for a lot of them gay equates with whiteness because for so long that's what has been portrayed in media. I did enjoy his comedy special, "Rothaniel". I think if he had done something more in that vain I would have connected more.

Within 6 months, you should know if that person is interested.

It's not all about sex...you have to make it fun

If you get too close too fast they will ghost you.its alot some guys deal with in their past with being gay. Some guys don't believe that person wants them also. Don't love themselves

Thank you for calmly sharing this straightforward advice. Indeed, building *_our own_* platforms (mailing list, website, etc) is vital regardless of the shifting corporate media landscape. ❤💪🏿

I don't use TikTok, primarily because I can only handle one social medium at a time (i.e. this one). I know there are various micro & macro reasons why politicians want it gone, one being that dangerous ideas are easily spread there. I can't help but observe the elephant in the room: to most conservatives, the visibility and validation of LGBTQ+ identities is far more "dangerous" than online bullying or hazardous "challenges." 👀

Someone said the DV rate amongst LGBT couples are much lower than heterosexual couples which I think is true especially amongst gay men. I don't know if that's the case for lesbians.

Ase' 🙏🏾❤

Yes! to all five. #2 is an ongoing journey. Internalized homophobia is still a thing, and it needs to be beat down! May we all love ourselves 🙏🏼 Thank you Lamont!

I need to wok on loving myself beter & being more comfortable out of the closet.

At first ghosting was difficult but now I accepted it and I’m glad that it happens because rejection is God’s protection. I’m not about to continue to take things personally. Goodbye 👋🏽 I’m very straight- forward, if Im not interested then I’ll say it respectfully. Not knowing how to communicate is a turn off, I can’t read minds. Don’t have time for the games. But they know how to communicate very well when it’s about sex.

I love all his answers to all the questions asked... She or He should be giving classes and workshops on advocacy and activism.....I have learnt

I love it

Pretty good stuff, I just realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's crazy! Although what he previously talked about was pretty decent, it was difficult to follow, I just go'ogled the latest in Mario's Thunderous Erections, it's so much simpler and potent now!

Don't lie, try not to be a bitch and never fuck your ex-boyfriend's ex-boyfriend.

You look like Ne-Yo

People don't like to talk on dating apps. This includes not initiating conversations and not responding to the initial message.

I’m 31 and have only been in two serious relationships neither lasting beyond a year my most recent ending 10 months ago not trying to be pessimistic but as a black gay man I don’t think a healthy long term relationship exists for me guys never approach me and most only list after me via social media when I do get the courage to pursue most aren’t interested or are only interested in sex and what’s worse is there is this false narrative that you aren’t lovable if you have regular human problems nobody 100% loves themselves and nobody is 100% healed and realistically speaking most healing comes from connection it all feels like a lost cause
