Diamond and Silk gained national attention in 2016, when they began to speak out about the hypocrisy of the progressive left. Their new book—“Uprising: Who the Hell Said You Can't Ditch and Switch?”—explains why the African American sisters walked away from the left.
Diamond and Silk (aka Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson) join the "Problematic Women" podcast to discuss racial tensions in America, the agenda of Black Lives Matter, civics education, and their book.
We also break down the new Disney movie “Mulan” and controversy over Disney using the film's end credits to offer "special thanks" to Chinese institutions directly linked to carrying out human rights abuses in China. Some scenes in the film were shot in Xinjiang, China, where Uighurs, a Muslim minority, are being persecuted.
Plus, we talk with journalist Alessandra Bocchi, the winner of the 2020 Joseph Rago Memorial Fellowship for Excellence in Journalism, a program of The Fund for American Studies. And as always, we’ll be crowning our "Problematic Woman of the Week."
