In this episode of Make It Make Sense with Andrinique, we break down Black fatigue as a response to repeated behaviors within a certain segment of the Black community, not as a storyline or social construct.

This conversation focuses on patterns. Public conduct, entitlement, contradiction, and accountability. From how image and identity are performed, to how feminism, dating preferences, and personal responsibility are selectively applied, this episode examines why certain behaviors are constantly excused and why pushback is often labeled as betrayal instead of critique.

We also talk about how these patterns show up in everyday situations, restaurants, social settings, relationships, and public spaces, and how those moments contribute to frustration both inside and outside the community.

This episode is not about respectability politics and it is not about pleasing outsiders. It is about standards, self-awareness, and the refusal to keep pretending behavior has no impact. Black fatigue doesn’t come from nowhere. It comes from repetition, defensiveness, and the unwillingness to self-correct.

If you are willing to sit with discomfort and examine behavior honestly, this episode will make sense.
