Welcome back to another 🔥 unapologetic and unfiltered episode of J&B Live Podcast — where the conversations are courageous, the community is strong, and the truth? ALWAYS real. 🎧

In this POWER-PACKED episode, Broker J3 and Dr. B dive deep into a topic that’s gotten way too real lately:

👉🏾 “How to Deal with Rude People.”

From the rise of entitlement at the grocery store to coded disrespect in the boardroom and fear-filled traffic stops — we are NOT sugar-coating a thing.

💥 TONIGHT’S CORE QUESTION:

Are we experiencing a rudeness epidemic in America? And if so, how do Black and Brown folks protect our peace while standing in our power? 👑💬

🎯 Topics We’re Breaking Down:

✅ The Rise of Public Entitlement:

Why do people feel so bold to act out — especially in public spaces?

✅ The Trump Effect – Again:

With President Trump back in office, has the national tone gotten meaner and more toxic?

✅ Rudeness + Racism = Real Harm:

What makes these encounters uniquely triggering and dangerous for communities of color?

✅ Everyday Spaces of Disrespect:

From PTA meetings and job interviews to medical offices and police stops — we unpack the daily pressure of code-switching and defending our humanity.

🎭 ROLEPLAY SCENARIOS YOU HAVE TO HEAR:

🎬 Scenario 1: The Grocery Store Karen

“You people are always so loud...” 👀

▶️ Do you clap back? Call the manager? Or protect your peace?

🎬 Scenario 2: The Microaggressive Manager

“You’re just a little too aggressive in meetings...”

▶️ We decode the language of corporate gaslighting and show you how to professionally clap back while keeping your coins.

🎬 Scenario 3: The Disrespectful Cop

“You people think you’re slick...”

▶️ What happens when your life is on the line and “calm” is survival?

🧠 DEEP DIVE DISCUSSIONS:

🔎 Respect Through the Decades:

From our grandparents who had to bite their tongues during Jim Crow, to Gen Z warriors who use their voices online and in the streets — where’s the balance?

🧠 Respectability Politics vs. Real Power:

Being "nice" never saved us — so how do we raise kids to be wise, confident, and UNAPOLOGETIC?

🧘🏽‍♀️ Boundaries, Wisdom, & Ways to Respond:

Dr. B and Broker J3 share real tools for protecting your energy:

“I’m not accepting that energy today.”

“We can continue when you’re ready to speak with respect.”

“You don’t get to speak to me like that.”
