-Yezzy (Kanye West) and his White Lives Matter fashion statement
- We ended with my announcement that I am officially the El Camino High School Girls' Varsity Head Basketball coach and the interesting journey that I took to get there.

Topics covered:
1) We started talking about the passing of Coolio and the importance of Gangster's Paradise. However, we then took a side trek and talked about the movies Dangerous Minds and Freedom Writers and what they could have done better to connect the content they taught to the lived lives of the students they were teaching.
2) We talked about Woman King and pondered the message that was sent by focusing on a nation of badass Black woman warriors who also enslaved neighboring groups of Africans.
3) A prestigious university in New York fired a tenured faculty member when 82 of the 350 students in the class signed a petition that stated that the class was unnecessarily hard and that the professor did not care about the lives of students outside of the classroom. This led to a conversation about the commodification of education and how teachers can become better teachers.

The topics:
- Are we allowed to critique other cultures? If so, what are the rules?
- The difference between critiquing and judging a culture
- What is the difference between being Mexican versus begin Mexican America?
- Why are we not talking about Brett Farve's role in stealing money from the Mississippi welfare system?

What we talked about:
- Our reactions to Halle Bailey, a Black girl, as the Little Mermaid
- White replacement theory 
- How Black people can add value to stories that have been previously filled by White actors IF the writers do a good job
- How one of the main enemies of Black superheroes is white supremacy
