  7. All I Asked Was for Peace

    All I Asked Was for Peace

    In this first episode of "I Take Your Point", Lynn and John unpack the cultural tension, real talk, and social media fallout sparked by a meme: a Black woman holding a list of partner demands and a Black man holding a single word, “peace.” What began as an online post turned into a full-blown gender war in the comments, especially among Black women who felt stereotyped, unseen, and unsupported. From there, the conversation deepens. They examine Robert Griffin III’s comments about Angel Reese, the subtle but heavy-coded language that sparked Ryan Clark’s fiery rebuttal, and how this moment reveals long-standing fractures between how Black men and Black women perceive protection, loyalty, and respect. They also dig into uncomfortable layers: · How interracial relationships may (or may not) influence how some Black men publicly show up for Black women · The invisibility of Black women’s emotional labor · Why respecting personal space (especially for Black public figures) is a cultural issue worth unpacking But rather than a debate, this episode leans into mutual reflection. John and Lynn challenge each other and themselves to take accountability, recognize blind spots, and truly hear what the other is saying. Because at the end of the day… sometimes the most radical thing you can say is, “I take your point.”
