22
i truly
do love this cup so much, like i
said i have been having a lot of
issues when making sure i’m
staying hydrated and whatnot
23
because i
don’t want to keep wasting plastic water bottles

water i am not doing that
24
i am constantly just refilling my water bottle,
constantly making sure i am healthy and hydrated
25
and
stay calm because you guys

so, yeah that’s a fun thing
38
my shirt is like soaking wet. do y’all
see this, this is embarrassing. this is very
embarrasing, what- i need to do better
39
now i know
y’all have been begging me for that liv & maddie
video y’all. that liv & maddie video is going
to be long okay, because i had to rewatch
the show to make sure i got my points right
40
and correct about everything,
but it’s like a different vibe
than the austin & ally one
because even though it was terrible i
was genuinely enjoying what i was seeing
41
this show
i’m not enjoying it at all and i have words.
42
i
have lots and lots and lots of words for
this show because i barely like anything
about it so the liv & maddie is on halt right
now because its gonna be a bit of a long one
43
okay,
and the total drama video it will be coming
soon, it will be coming soon, it’s still coming.
44
like
that show is just completely garbage
and so that video is just going to be
a movie, it’s going to be a movie, like
how my last video was but that’s different
45
because i was
praising that show while this
one i’m just trashing it.
now also on one of the comments
that i said i was like:
46
what y’all
want me to talk about a show i don’t like? okay.
so that’s zack and cody. now, i feel
like i should’ve been a little more
47
specific about that
because some of y’all started dragging me on that.
i don’t hate the suite life of zack and cody.
48
i hated it when zack and cody
were in it. literally i don’t like
the twins in this show, i don’t.
i’m still gonna a make a video about
49
the suite life of zack and cody,
just my little review of it and how i felt
about the show and how if it holds up to
50
today, had-
partially it holds up to today,
partially. but that video will come soon
51
but it is one
particular thing because one of y’all
commented on it, well i’m not gonna
say exactly what the comment was but
one of y’all left this comment and
52
it really made
me sit there and think and go like,
we gotta talk about this so today’s
53
video i bring
you you know this ongoing series that i have:
the misogynoir of the suite life of zack and cody
54
the suite life of zack and cody,
it was like up there with like the cheetah girls,
and high school musical and camp rock
55
when it came
to like successful disney channel properties as
they ended up getting a movie later
and a spinoff television series
56
and they
actually did get like a danimals like
sweepstakes, did anybody win that?
57
did anybody win that, if you won that
comment down below. i’m trynna see something.
58
suite life of zack and
cody actually had a really really
pretty long run because it’s
like the show ended and
then they got a spinoff show
59
so it’s like
the show kept going, to be
honest it’s like suite life,
its just basically just suite life okay it’s
just suite life but we’re strictly talking
60
about the first series, suite life
of zack and cody because it’s the
better one out of the two,
but the show still has issues okay
61
suite life on
deck is actually a really horrible
show. do y’all want a video about me
just trashing on suite life on deck
i will do that. i will do that okay.
62
but here we are just strictly talking
about the main problem i had with suite life of
zack and cody and it’s because the issue
63
the diversity
issue okay we gotta get into
that, there is like numerous
issues with diversity but we’re strictly
just gonna be talking about the black people
64
okay the black girls actually.
like i didn’t watch this show for the twins.
I was like i watched it for all
the other characters because
65
i just
really enjoyed all the other characters i
just found them little boys annoying like
i love the mom, i love the mom’s
storylines okay like that’s so weird
66
i love the mom’s storylines in suite
life of zack and cody than i care about suite life
of zack and cody. not suite life of zack and cody
67
zack and cody's storylines but basically
even though the show did revolve
around two little white boys
the show had a pretty diverse cast for that part
68
like is
boston that diverse y’all please
comment down below like how the
diversity in boston is because
i am genuinely curious to know
69
how it
is up there okay because I’ve
heard it was pretty diverse
um so yeah, how’s the diversity
in boston what’s it like up there
70
it was
a pretty diverse cast by disney channel standards.
okay just by disney channel standards,
i remember like often in and out
71
they would
bring people of color in to like
day play and whatnot because
i do remember victoria justice she
was so adorable in this episode
72
where she
was like the little pageant
girl. this was before zoey 101,
this is like before victoria
justice before we knew who she was,
73
she
was brought into this television
series just to day play and whatnot
so they did constantly have people day playing
but they didn’t have them like as mains
74
now there
was only like two main characters
of color and that was mr. moseby
and london tipton. those two characters are
just another topic for another discussion
75
there were like no black girls on this
show whatsoever. there were no black girls
whatsoever on the show. y’all know
how i feel about that. there are
76
no black
girls like nowadays if there are no
black girls, specifically if there’s
no dark skinned black girls in
it i’m not gonna watch it okay
77
in this day and age but we’re
speaking of like 2005, 2006, 2007,
so i’m like okay i low-key give it
slack even though it’s still not good.
78
so we finally got
a black girl on the show named mary margaret
played by the oh so amazing monique coleman.
79
were no roles
that are specifically for
african-american women at all,
but the truth is that the character
that i’m playing in high school
80
musical, wasn’t
intended for a black actress i went in there and
was like oh no i’m gonna do
this, this is- i absolutely can
81
this something
that is important to me because why does this
character need to be tall and blonde,
this is an- she’s an intelligent person
82
she’s
a person that goes to school
with everybody else i don’t see
the difference and i think that
part fit is how we see ourselves
83
that we have
to start seeing ourselves playing the lawyers,
the doctors in any sort of role that we
want to play and then it doesn’t matter
84
now
many of you guys may recognize
monique coleman as she played
taylor mckessie in the disney channel
series trilogy high school musical
85
like she
was taylor in all three of those,
if y’all know how i feel about
taylor’s character please go
watch my high school musical video
86
i will
have that link down below for a reference
if any of you guys are curious in that.
now monique coleman is extremely
talented she literally can
87
work with any
script that she is given so kudos
to you miss ma’am kudos to you
88
but my issue
with her is that like i think monique
is amazing i think she deserves more
but my issue is that i- it
really sorry dang my thing was
89
lopsided
the entire time and y’all didn’t
say nothing y’all fake okay but
90
my issue with her was that mary
margaret, she was maddie and london’s classmate
at that school that they hated so so freaking much
91
but
it was like she was mean like
nasty like you know how the
typical way that disney writes black
women she was mean, had an attitude
92
thought she
was better than everybody,
she was really smart though.
i’m really glad she wasn’t
portrayed as being stupid because
93
i don’t like
how when they portray black people as being
stupid on television but i am
pretty glad that she wasn’t dumb
94
but that
kind of doesn’t- like the bad
outweighed the good in her character
though. she was just like mean
really bad nasty attitude. and then
95
they just kind
of got rid of her. they just
like never explained why she
didn’t come back i think it’s mainly
because maddie and london got kicked
96
out the school,
but after that we just never
really saw her again but her
character didn’t really do much of anything
she was just there as like maddie’s classmate
97
that had an attitude
and vanessa hudgens was her little
sidekick character but it just wasn’t i don’t know
98
i didn’t really
like mary margaret all that much
she was just. like it was nice to
see a black girl on this show for
once like nice to see somebody that
99
looked like
me like not no racially ambiguous black girl
like a mono racial black girl looking black girl
100
it was nice
to see that so we just kind of like
took what we got but her character
didn’t really it wasn’t really a good
character and like i said she was
101
written out the
show didn’t really change much to the plot anyway
it was just pretty strange, just pretty strange
102
so as you
know her character was written out
the show so we didn’t really have a
black girl here anymore it was just
everybody else and then we got nia.
103
i loved nia,
let’s just go ahead and throw that out there
before i go any further. nia was amazing.
104
she brought what this
show needed. nia was that girl.
nia moseby that’s her name,
she was mr. moseby’s niece.
105
she was played by giovannie
samuels who is so freaking talented.
106
during the audition,
francia, gary, and myself were already friends
and so when we all found out that we got
107
the movie it was like oh great you know we really
don’t have to act because
we’re, we’re already friends
108
we’re already cool with each other
109
oh my gosh, i’m
going to be just gushing about giovannie samuels
for like the next two minutes so like, get ready.
110
now whoo,
you guys may recognize who
giovannie is because she
played kirresha in the third bring it on
movie called bring it on: all or nothing.
111
where she played francia raisa’s and solange’s
character’s friend in that movie.
now that movie does have issues
112
i do have
words about that movie but that’s just
another topic for another discussion
it’s one of my favorite movies ever but i am
aware that it has issues like i can like things
113
and acknowledge that it has issues
but we’re not here to talk about giovannie in
bring it on we’re here to talk about
her in suite life of zack and cody
114
because nia- suite life of
zack and cody really had a lot of moments
when the show got dull,
can y’all see i spilled water on me
115
i don’t know- but they have
moments when the show got really dull and
when nia came in it like sparked up
116
and lit
up and i was just like yes the show
is getting good again because i’m
tired of watching episodes about the boys.
give me something else and she brought it
117
this woman
giovannie samuels she is an
amazing comedy actress. she is just
naturally funny like she literally
can work with any script that she
118
is given.
give giovannie samuels her
props because she deserves
them okay she is funnier than
alot of y’alls faves out here
119
but y’all
don’t wanna admit that and i
blame disney because you know
how disney is, this goes
back to with monique coleman
120
too you
know how hollywood is about mono racial black
girls you know how disney is about
them too, they’re not exempt from this
121
you
know how they are so i am not
really surprised that we didn’t
see much of her but i’m angry
because she’s extremely talented
122
i
really feel like we should see
more of her. she should be way
bigger than what she was
because she deserves her props
123
i want to
see more of her like i know we’re
in the age of change right now,
i want to see more of giovannie
samuels on my television
124
i want to see
her on my movie theatre screen when
we are able to go back to the movies
125
okay
that woman deserves her props okay
she’s great, she’s freaking talented
126
nia
stole the show okay, nia literally stole
the show the suite life of zack and cody,
should’ve been called the suite life of
nia moseby because nia was that girl ok
127
i don’t care
who else was on screen at the time her- no if
it was just her and mosbey i can deal with it
128
because
phil lewis was also a scene stealer for the show
too like but both of them together
an iconic duo, they were amazing
129
highly, highly like
the best moments on this show were either
nia moments or mr. moseby moments and when
130
they were together
it was great, it was so great it was nice
to see a black family on this show even though it
131
was-
it was a black family we’ll
go with there that’s the
closest thing we got to a black
family on the show but it was great.
132
nia was brought into the because ashley tisdale
as we know was playing
sharpay in hsm 2 at the time
133
she was away filming for high school musical 2
so they really needed to have
somebody in to fill her spot
134
so they brought
giovannie in to play nia to be there
to like fill in maddie’s spot
135
i guess
i already mentioned i love me some nia moseby
i’m about to change her to
my avatar on something i
136
have i am a nia moseby stan
137
but her character has issues,
her character has issues
138
it hurts me to say this because this- like i said
disney is extremely
misogynistic towards black women
139
and racist
towards black women and we’re just going to
talk about that the show has
issues when it comes to race okay
140
it has so many issues.
yes i will say i like nia but she falls into
that typical trope of how
disney portray black women
141
as loud, mean,
sassy, rude, nasty attitude, not one to listen,
not one to follow the rules always,
wants to do what she want to do
142
treats people
like crap, yadda yadda, that is literally nia
like literally nia does fall
into that category and i'm
143
so happy that
giovannie did work with the scripts that they
gave her where she played it all
to her best ability and whatnot
144
but it still
falls into the tired trop of the sassy black girl
and disney has a big big problem with this arc
145
like i'm tired of it.
it’s gotten better in the recent years where
basically they just have black girls in pain
146
that’s
not any better, well look that’s another topic
for another discussion. That’s
another topic for another discussion
147
we're actually gonna bring that back up at the end
of the video. but there’s a
whole entire episode where
148
nia was
literally being mean to a lot of little girls that
were younger than her and she
was so mean to those girls
149
to the point where they were afraid of her
150
disney imagine how that is
when a little black girl sees
this, like how will she react? how
will she respond like it really
151
bothers how y’all are not-
y’all call yourselves a family channel
and then you don’t think about the
actual families that are watching
152
like black kids watch disney channel just as much
as white kids. do you not
understand how that’s affecting them
153
and do you not
understand how that is affecting how
non-black people view black kids
154
like tv is
literally like on of the first things we see
when we’re learning about humans like
155
i’ma save that for last,
i have to save that for last i’m
getting off topic
156
disney
constantly finds ways to villanize the black girls
like how i said she was portrayed
as a sassy mean black girl
157
if the girl
is not the main or the lead character, main and/or
lead character, she’s
villainized. she’s villainized.
158
and that’s
where nia happened a lot of times like her
character was villainized plenty of times
159
where she was
really kind of like a troubled girl a
little misunderstood and what not but
160
she was
villainized for a lot of things that she was into
because she was a troublemaker,
i will go ahead and say that
161
like i said
constantly villainizing the side black
girl character
162
disney.
aside from that she ended up being the token black
friend. she ended up being
london’s little token black friend
163
now before
y’all even try to come for me i made entire
post on my instagram explains
the token black kid trope
164
the token black kid
is not always friends with
a white person
165
the
token black still applies to non-black people
okay because it happens all the time and disney
166
is guilty of this
because they’ve done it in high
school musical
167
they’ve done it
in high musical the musical the series
and they’ve done it in andi mack okay
168
disney has done this before
where they use the token
black kid trope with
non-black and non-white people
169
okay and also she was extremely mean to london but
london was terrible so i don’t
really too upset with that ‘cause
170
london
was trash. we’re gonna have to sit and talk about
London tipton one day on this
channel because i have a lot
171
of words
to say about her and that’s just going to
have to be another video within itself okay
172
i have words about
london tipton. now to get inside
maddie’s interaction with nia
173
now
i love maddie okay, i love
maddie fitzpatrick so much
i loved her like- sharpay to y’all
is maddie fitzpatrick to me okay
174
i’ma go there, i will say that
that’s my unpopular opinion maddie fitzpatrick
literally could literally take on sharpay evans
175
i don’t care.
but as i said i love maddie but i’m gonna
hold her responsible for her mess
176
the way maddie spoke
to people specifically people of color
we're really just talking about
the way maddie talked to people of
177
color, the
way she talked down on them like they were stupid
and the way she talked about
them especially the way
178
she talked about mr. moseby and esteban,
it really comes
off across as racist it
179
can come across as racist depending on how
somebody is watching it
and as i rewatched the show
180
i was just like maddie,
calm down. don’t do that. like the scene
where here and nia met talking
about give me back my shift
181
and i was
just like maddie you’ve been gone forever what
makes you think that somebody
didn’t come in and replace you like
182
maddie i’m gonna need
you to do some thinking but yes
they got into this big argument to
the point where millicent passed out
183
and
(oh my gosh) like i said
i love maddie okay but the
way she would talk to non-white
people really frustrates me
184
it really
really frustrated me and once maddie came back we
never saw her again like yeah she
did come in and out in and out but
185
once
maddie came back she was just kind of gone because
they didn’t really see how they
wasn’t really space for her character
186
but no,
nia brought a lot to the show she made the show
entertaining, and that’s
why i loved her like i loved
187
london tipton
but her and the stupid girl
act was getting old like we
needed something new and that’s
exactly what nia brought to the show
188
and it was
nice because london and nia
had amazing chemistry together
i loved seeing them together. but you
know they just wrote nun out the show like
189
they wrote her
out the show like no explanation of where she went
like they just took her out so like that
just ended on a bad note and makes no sense
190
like what even happened to nia
191
so what do we
take away from this. you know- what you
know it’s basically this: you
bring a black girl into the story
192
you have
her portrayed in a negative
light and then you get rid
of her and we never see her again nor
do you explain what happened to her
193
that’s literally what happens in
the suite life of zack and cody
194
i- y’all wanna know how this really
hurts me. i am a black woman. i only know
life as a black woman. i tell black stories.
i only write stories about black girls okay
195
that is
my niche. that is my writing niche.
i tell black stories. i specifically
tell black girl stories. going
back and i watch my childhood shows
196
that used to make me so happy,
it really hurts to see that this is how
people saw me when i was a kid, and
innocent little girl that didn’t know
197
nothing about life. it really hurts
me to know that this is how some
people saw me.
198
because of the way hollywood thinks black
girls are, especially at the time given.
199
the
2000s are not as progressive as
we think they are. let's be real.
let’s be real. they were were not.
when it comes to film. they were not
200
i do
blame like a lot of these kids shows
and channels for the way a lot of
Kids percieve race at that age
because racism is taught and
201
the way
they see black people and
asian people and latino people
portrayed on television through
the shows they watch they’re gonna
202
start
thinking that stuff in real life okay.
yes black girls can be sassy. i’m
a sassy black girl. i know
that like no i know i know okay
203
but i’m
not the only kind of black girl out
here. there are way different types
of ways that black girls act and i’m just
so sick of going back and looking on my
204
childhood shows
and just seeing that this is
the only way that people saw me.
And that’s frustrating. it’s really
really frustrating and it freaking hurts
205
hey,
it’s getting better now because we aren’t
seeing black girls portrayed in a more
negative light, when really
we’re just seeing them in pain
206
which
technically isn’t much better but it’s something
different so i’ll give y’all your props for that.

like i said
i’m tired of seeing black girls
in pain, that’s another thing.
like i said if you’re gonna like- the
thing about the pain thing like i said
208
it like like i said going back
to the sassy black girl thing. i wouldn’t mind,
if that wasn’t the only black girl in the show.
209
and you had
different kinds of black girls in
the show, fine, go ahead do the
sassy black girl. go put go
put the black girl in pain but
210
but you gotta have variety,
variety disney. learn it. variety.
211
people don’t
seem to understand like it’s casual
racism. it’s portrayed to be awesome
212
oh no. it’s just my little beads they were moving,
they’re on the floor right here and i
stepped on them. but it’s just the way
213
it’s just really frustrating to really that this-
television is the way a lot of people see
different races for the first time.
214
and if they see them in negative
lights it’s really gonna affect how they treat
those people. And how they see them in real life.
215
that’s
the point i’m trying to get across with this.
216
