In this Thanksgiving-themed episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King and journalist Jayson Rodriguez for an insightful, humorous, and culturally rich exploration of the holiday’s deeper meaning, pop culture impact, and evolving traditions. Kicking things off with context and vibes [00:00], they set the tone by unpacking what Thanksgiving represents today—beyond turkey, football, and family photos—for Black and Brown communities, touching on gratitude, identity, and the social expectations that come with the holiday.

The trio dives into the lesser-discussed origins of Thanksgiving [05:07], challenging myths from grade school narratives and exploring how history, colonialism, and Native American contributions are often overlooked in mainstream storytelling. This leads naturally into a lively breakdown of culinary traditions and family dynamics [09:51], from whose mac and cheese passes the test to the politics of potlucks, kitchen hierarchies, and the emotional weight food carries across generations.

By [15:05], the conversation shifts toward Thanksgiving and capitalism, unpacking how the holiday transformed into a marketing engine—from over-the-top grocery ads to seasonal branding and the economics behind the holiday dinner table. That sets up a global lens on Thanksgiving [19:56], examining how other countries interpret or remix the holiday—through diaspora traditions, Caribbean influence, and cultural adaptation.

As football enters the chat [25:02], Mandii, A-King, and Jayson explore the historical connection between the NFL and Thanksgiving, including how football became almost as essential to the holiday as stuffing and sweet potato pie. From there, they seamlessly pivot into the commercial aftermath—the birth of Black Friday [33:42], tracing its evolution from chaotic, door-busting retail mania to today’s online-driven, algorithm-powered consumer culture.

Conversation returns to food and nostalgia [39:20], where they compare Thanksgiving food preferences, from classic vs. experimental menus, and why certain dishes are sacred: no raisins in the potato salad, no shortcuts on sweet potato pie, and why fried turkey is a forever MVP. Things take a hilarious and philosophical turn at [48:43], when the group explores the ethics and absurdity of cloning pets—sparked by real-life celebrity stories and the rising cost of “designer grief.”

Finally, the episode closes on a reflective note [56:43], as they discuss gratitude, community, chosen family, and how Thanksgiving has evolved into a celebration far beyond its historical roots—emphasizing connection, culture, and conscious living in today’s world.

The Black Effect Presents... Selective Ignorance!

On this week's episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B leads a candid, insightful conversation that tackles the persistent myths and societal pressures women face as they approach and cross the age of 30 (00:00). Joined by joined by special guests Lex P (Pour Minds), KikiSaidSo, and KillahBee, who speak from both personal experience and cultural observation, the episode explores how outdated timelines around career success, marriage, and motherhood continue to shape expectations—often creating unnecessary stress and self-doubt (07:36). The discussion challenges the idea that turning 30 signals a decline in beauty, value, or opportunity, and instead reframes it as a time of growth, clarity, and empowerment (14:31, 18:53). From navigating family expectations and breaking free of traditional gender roles (14:31), to redefining romantic partnerships in an era where women are increasingly financially independent (29:03, 39:55), the conversation highlights how modern women are rewriting the rules. Mandii and her guests unpack how financial freedom shifts relationship dynamics (44:34), why prenups are becoming essential tools of empowerment (44:34), and why real connection should matter more than status or security (34:42). They also open up about fears around aging and fertility (18:53, 47:17), offering affirming perspectives on how to embrace each phase of life with grace and power. Wrapping up with heartfelt advice to their younger selves, the conversation emphasizes the importance of confidence, self-worth, and financial literacy (56:36)—reminding listeners that the journey is theirs to define, no matter what the world says.

This week, Mandii & Weezy sit down with Danielle Campbell and Raheem DeVaughn for an open, judgment-free conversation on HIV prevention, testing, and how to make sexual health talks feel a lot less awkward.

Danielle joins the ladies to break down the importance of PrEP, how to ask a partner for their test results without killing the vibe, why Planned Parenthood asks so many questions, and the real framework people need to feel comfortable getting tested. The crew gets into the nerves that come after you get tested, the correct way to screen for different STDs (including the ones hiding in your mouth), the reality of HPV turning into genital warts, plus a fun detour into the Top Ten Best Cities for Black Singles.

Then Raheem DeVaughn taps in to talk about being an advocate for PrEP, the conversations men often avoid around protection, and what it was like having his PCP bring up PrEP for the first time. There’s a moment about Weezy being nervous while getting tested, an ice breaker that gets interesting fast, and a spicy round of Smash or Pass that leads into a real talk on the homophobia still associated with PrEP. The group dives into how often people actually avoid condoms and how to bring up PrEP to male friends, sons, or potential partners.
