#43. In this episode, Abdullah and Andres review and discuss the book Woke Racism: How A New Religion Has Betrayed Black America by Columbia professor and author John McWhorter. Have progressives abandoned actual racial progress and improving the lives of Black people in favor of virtue-signaling and smoking out racists? Do we have a new “cannon” of approved books on the subject of racism that ensures that people only hold to one true opinion on the subject? The Souljah’s discuss this and more in this episode. 

*Note: The episode is labeled as explicit because there is a curse word near the end of the episode.

#42. In this episode, Abdullah and Andres discuss the idea of Black Fragility. Can Black people be fragile? Do we blame everything on so-called “white people” and avoid responsibility? Do we exhibit signs of distress when the topic of race comes up in a way that makes us feel uncomfortable? Can Black folks be racist? We go there! This is a long episode, but a good one, as Abdullah and Andres continue their own journey to greater authenticity.
