00:00You know, the trailer came out, a whole lot of excitement around it.
00:03But then came up this kind of common conversation that comes up with your work
00:07where people feel there's a quote-unquote obsession with showing interracial relationships.
00:11What do you say to that criticism, and what are you saying with this film?
00:15I feel like it's insane.
00:17I laugh at it, you know what I'm saying?
00:18I usually don't even talk about it.
00:21It came from Black-ish, because I was doing a show about my family,
00:25and my wife happens to be biracial, and I wanted to actually talk.
00:29And then the spinoff was Grown-ish, which was about one of the kids.
00:34And so it was like, I'm like, I will battle anybody.
00:37I'm like, show me my black repertoire of what I've done, you know what I'm saying?
00:43And put it up against, and I'll go up against everybody, you know what I'm saying,
00:46in terms of I'm for us, I'm by us, for us.
00:51So I feel like, you know, it just happens to sort of be part of the conversation,
00:55and people will find anything.
00:56I have got some great jokes, you know what I'm saying, from it.
00:59And I had some time and was writing back to the people I thought that said good jokes.
01:03But I feel like ultimately, you know, I think one of the things that we are so monolithic,
01:09that people want to just have something to say because there's not enough of us doing it.
01:13So I think hopefully the more that we get to do this, the more stories that we can tell.
01:17They want all of our stories to be for everyone, and we, that's impossible.
01:22One story can't speak to all the black experience because there's so many different black experiences.
01:27Lauren is a faith healer, you know what I'm saying, believes in this.
01:31Like things that you would not, you know what I'm saying, really think that she is.
01:34And it so passes what Nunu was, it so passes what L.O., what, you know, what people think of that.
01:41And I feel like that, to me, is what makes us really interesting in those types of stories.
01:46It's showing all the different versions of us.
01:48That's what we see now.
02:10It's showing all the other things that we don't have.
