Controversy over the "Shxtsngigs" duo laughing at racist jokes about Black women on another podcast continues.
James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu, hosts of the "Shxtsngigs" podcast, faced widespread backlash after their appearance on comedian Andrew Schulz's series "Flagrant." During Schulz's podcast, James, Fuhad, and the host discussed the "Black girlfriend effect," or what happens when non-Black men start dating Black women.
James and Fuhad said Black women "glow up the other culture," while Schulz argued that white men change their appearance out of a "protective instinct."
"They shave their hair because they start losing it, because he's so stressed to be around this black girl complaining all the time," Schulz said.
"They grow their beard because they need a cushion when they get slapped," he added.
James and Fuhad appeared to laugh along with Schulz as the comedian promoted racist stereotypes and suggested Black women were violent.
After catching heat, James and Fuhad apologized for their "mistake," noting they should've challenged Schulz's remarks. The duo said they were in "fight or flight" mode during Schulz's podcast.
Following their apology, Schulz said on his podcast that James and Fuhad could've asked for the discussion to be edited out, but they chose not to, per BBC.
Schulz claimed that the pair's producer asked to cut out other parts of the podcast they found inappropriate.
"But with that joke about the black women, nothing," Schulz said. "The fight or flight thing wasn’t really there afterwards."
The comedian also accused James and Fuhad of only speaking out now because of the backlash.
"There was no negative reaction after it came out," he said.
The podcast duo hasn't spoken out on Schulz's latest comments.
