*On Friday, Oct. 9, the hosts of The RealĀ speakĀ about how people of color need to come together to fight racism, especially discrimination borne from the Covid-19 crisis.
Co-host Loni Love makes the point that the Civil Rights Act is not just for Black people, and the social justice protests are fighting for many of us.
And co-host Adrienne Houghton admits to not ever working out until after she was a part of 3LW and refers to their music video āNo Moreā as to proof of never knowing anything about crunches beforehand.
Then the ladies welcome Laz Alonzo who talks about where his love of plants came from, his hit showĀ The Boys, and his thoughts on how the NFL is handling racism following the movement Colin Kaepernick started.
What position do the hosts take on the topic of watching porn with their significant others? While Adrienne thinks that porn is hilarious, her co-host Garcelle Beauvais confessesĀ toĀ which kind of adult content she prefers.
Later, Ledisi joins the ladies and discusses her new albumĀ The Wild Card, theĀ op-edĀ she wrote forĀ BillboardĀ on the challenges of being Black in the music industry, and what inspired her dramatic weight loss.

Asian & African Americans Work Better Together to Fight Racism
Loni Love: People of color have to come together.Ā When you have a leader that is trying to divide and conquer us, itās no good. So, I believe that by saying āChina Virusā and using, like, all these slursā¦
Adrienne Houghton: Itās divisive! Itās divisive!
Loni: ā¦ to try to divide and conquer us, the thing is that the Asian community typically does keep to themselvesā¦ especially when it comes to the Black population. I mean, they have the stores and they have the nail salons, but we really need to start coming together. And, coming together for protesting. Coming together as a people. Because that is the way we make change. Weāre all people of color, weāre all going through different types of racism. So, we all just need to come together to fight it.
*EDIT*
Loni: Just because you see Black people out here protesting, weāre protesting for everybody. When Martin Luther King and the civil rights workers were able to get the Civil Rights Act passed, that was for everybody! Civil rights is not just Black people! Sometimes people think, āOh, thatās just a Black issue,ā itās not. The Civil Rights Act covered womenā¦
Adrienne: It affects all of us.
Loni: ā¦ anyone whoās not a white male, it covered. It covered everybody!
Garcelle Beauvais: Thatās right.
Loni: So, understand that. LGBTQ, it covers gender, it covers everything. Ā So, understand when we are out there on the streets protesting, weāre protesting for you, too!
Garcelle: For everybody.
Loni: Thatās why we ask for allies. Thatās all Iām saying. Just donāt think that itās just a Black problem. Itās all of us. All of us.
