Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up!

On this episode… It’s blackface season again, but is everything actually blackface? Does “don’t touch my hair” apply to Black people? And can you advocate for yourself without being an abelist fuck? We think so.

This week’s hot list: J. is still not a lady, Halloween & cosplay, respectability for the “D”, a weird convo on blackface, keep Aaliyah’s name all the way out your mouth, some notes on podcasting, Queen goes to a strange party, dark vs evil and light vs good, keep your hands out of peoples hair, check your breasts, NYC stripper strike, the tri-annual struggle Olympics and other ish.
