I feel that her talk is cheap. She claims that she wasn't trying to intimidate Larissa by "walking up on her." Monique is not a stupid woman. She was quite aware that she was using her physical stature and body language to intimidate. When called on it, she back peddled and said it was coming from a place of love and she just wanted to "love on" Larissa. No, she wanted to body slam Larissa through the floor (I certainly wouldn't blame her).

She's cognizant of how "others" may be watching us and the way we address each other. It even "breaks her heart" to hear Larissa and Shay going at it calling each other b_ _ _ _s and h_ _s and what about our "ancestor's like Harriet Tubman" yet:

Recently, you hosted the Jill Scott concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Many felt that your excessive use of the “N” and “B” words was inappropriate. Will you ever give that racial epithet a moratorium?

No, I love that word because that is who our ancestors are. When we get to heaven and we meet those group of people they won’t know to call us African-Americans, they won’t know to call us the Blacks, they going to know to call us N-----. And when they say, "Hey N-----," I’m going to respond, “Hey N-----. Look at all the great things the n------ did." Her name is Oprah Winfrey; his name is Jay-Z...

Monique's heart could be in the right place and I appreciate some of the lessons that she was trying to pass on. However, when it comes to a lot of her antics I'm not buying what she's selling.
