Jasmine reminds me of that character on Insecure that Molly was trying to mentor


I honestly wish she’d drop the fake “hood” act and just be herself. It’s so cringe. The over-performance, the forced slang, the constant signaling —

And it’s not just her. I’m tired of all the performative bullshyt from politicians. Whether it’s rich, country-club congressmen driving beat-up pickup trucks to rallys and then hoping back into foreigns or this kind of manufactured authenticity, it’s the same insult dressed differently.

She grew up in Missouri, raised in Houston and went to an historically black college in TSU, not picking on you but I see this consistently said like she is faking her upbringing. Yes she comes from an educationed background but that doesn't mean she has to talk like a white woman. I think theirs a lot of things she sucks at but we gotta stop this shyt. From what I've heard she has always spoke the way she does, even when she was a lawyer.

This is her before Congress.



I wouldn't say this in mixed company, but she plays into stereotypes and it's cringe.

She sounds exactly the same here

Here she sounds like a typical black professional from the south that went to HBCU. That's my social circle for the most part so I know it well.

But, since she got to Congress, she tries extra hard to sound like a hood rat and it's not cute. Maybe it shouldn't, but it just irks.
