Issa Rae on Denzel Washington's Sex Appeal

[@sarakoundouno1250]

How can someone sound so thirsty and so respectful at the same time? 😂😂

[@deegib3132]

I literally thought I was going to cringe lol

[@Chenaultchic]

It’s called thirsty talent

[@hey2930]

sara k Exactly, smooth criminal.😂

[@ericabelcher8760]

RIGHT!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@jenniferbrown5640]

Its not what you say its how you say it.

[@LePauliNation]

The genius here is how she did a wholesome take on thirsty.

[@ediepruitt5987]

Yes she did!!!

[@gracextended]

Perfect description lol

[@brooklynforever1990]

Indeed

[@jonlaw2258]

Absolutely. Very well done. This was no time for crass talk and she balanced it so well.

Tears in Denzel's eyes means Issa's message and compliments struck his heart and comedy was on point.

[@NellieKAdaba]

KhoPhi 👍

[@lytaavbl4223]

He got tweets in his eyes because those 2 million teeth are blinding.

[@pecanchic]

Yeah, I was moved by that, as well as by Issa's delivery.

[@queenofweaves916]

Yes I caught that too 🥰

[@Figs3]

"... his performances demand that you watch every moment, and he DARES you to look away."
That's the one that got him. It was beautifully said.

[@mycuprunnethoverr]

I saw Denzel in an interview where he said he listens to Cardi B music and that he loves her too ! Cardi makes Denzel laugh and. crack up !

[@Aoneify]

Issa doesn’t need to do any more shows or movies, people should just hire her to do speeches.

[@ericabelcher8760]

EXACTLY lol!!!

[@temiigbaroola136]

Don't give her ideas!! I'm tryna get infinite number of Insecure seasons plus a spin off

[@JudgeSarahHeidelIsARacist]

May I ask you to view my current videos and future videos, follow me. I am asking black people to take ownership for our situation and make a difference. Please?

[@malehlohonolo8463]

Uhm, speak for yourself please ma'am some of us need those shows😂 matter of fact, it should be illegal that insecure is on its season finale now💔

[@Aoneify]

@@malehlohonolo8463 haha, you are right!! Don't know what i was thinking or how 900+ agreed with me 😆 she should do both 😉

[@dearmakeupdiary]

Thirsty with class. That’s how I call her phenomenal speech 🤗

[@smd3954]

Simple Truths she didn’t say anything about his penis she spoke about how fine he was. Men take it to the extreme and say shit like “imma nut in your ass” or some crazy shit. HUGE DIFFERENCE

[@smd3954]

Simple Truths She gave him compliments: she didn’t go straight for the kill. It wouldn’t have been taken that way if a man said he exactly what she said it’s a compliment. The difference is men wouldn’t have worded it like that. They would’ve said some crazy rated r shit like I said! Y’all don’t know how to compliment y’all look at ass and titties and make vulgar comments. She didn’t do that. She spoke about his looks and how her mom and grandma adored him and felt he was fine. Never once objectified him, spoke about his good looks in a very respectful way. Show me a man that does that.

[@smd3954]

Simple Truths there is no double standard. She didn’t objectify him! He didn’t feel disrespected! That’s the difference. Now if he felt objectified and he felt disrespected then there is an issue! He felt neither in fact he and his wife were laughing. So yes we know what they meant by “fine” but trust me no men would ever speak of women this respectfully and have been “promoting rape culture”

[@mscardioqueen]

Issa looked AMAZING! That pink dress is GORGEOUS!!!!

[@mscardioqueen]

[@alwaysblack6480]

@Princess Anne Yes, she is absolutely gorgeous. As a black man, I love how she defined Denzel. I embody his traits and how well he treats his black woman. Thanks Denzel for being a great example for me as well. I love you black women!

@@jordanabeaulieu2530A woman saying those things and a man saying those things are not equivalent. Different contexts, different historic backgrounds, different social climates. We live in a world where men referring to women sexually has been linked with predatory or inappropriate behaviour. Had that not been the case I think it would be fine for men too. His wife, nor anybody there looked uncomfortable. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's steeped in unfair favour. It's not exactly to my taste but not everything has to be.
