Polar Opposites

This week, I decided to address what's going on in the country surrounding the death of George Floyd, Bryonna Taylor, & Amhaud Arbery. Were all in pain but we can't allow our anger to force us to be inactive.  This is truly a moment in history and we must do what we can to fight injustices. To be silent is to be complicit.  I also discuss performative activism and people doing the bare minimum to fight racism...

Here are some US organizations that you can fund right now to support black people and help the fight against racism.

Black Lives Matter

Black Visions Collective

Reclaim the Block

Official George Floyd Memorial Fund

NAACP Legal Defense Fund

American Civil Liberties Union

National Bail Fund Network or local bail funds across the US

National Police Accountability Project

Know Your Rights Camp

Interracial relationships aren't easy. You deal with family, friends, and outsiders as they voice their opinions on YOUR relationship. In this episode, my friend Teresa (@whatvuwant) and I get into dating outside one's race and the difficulty people have navigating those relationships. How would you raise your children? How do you handle racist relatives?

What is a ‘Stan?’ Is it insane to obsess over someone that doesn’t know you exist? Stan Culture has become a toxic way in which fans bully others on the internet in order to defend their favorite artist. This week my friend Steffi (@inn_mho) joins me as we discuss bullying, the BeyHive, and our society’s relationships with celebrities in the Internet age. When do fans go too far? Please don’t alert the Barbz! We talk about it all!

Off My Chest (4:25)

In the News (14:40) We discuss Adele and her weight loss. Is body positivity hypocritical?

Whew... What a mess. Hulu’s new miniseries ‘Little Fires Everywhere,’ poses questions about race, privilege, and class. This week, my friend Aisha (@aishaasmalleyy) and I get into the themes of this series and the complex situations the characters found themselves in.

What makes someone a competent parent? Would you abort a child even though you have the means to support one? What does a privileged person write about when describing their biggest hardship? Why does this show sympathize with questionable behavior?

(59:10) Would you abort a child even though you have the means to support them?

(1:14:30) What do privileged people write about for their college essays?

How will the world change AFTER COVID-19? Much like 9/11, what we knew of the world was changed forever. This virus has already killed more people and has been causing hysteria throughout our communities. In this weeks episode, my friend Jared (shewenttojarred) and I predict how the world will change once this pandemic ends. What will normal look like?

What does it mean to be black? Are biracial people black too? Kenya Barris' new Netflix show #blackAF prompted me to devote an episode to biracial identity and the erasure of dark skin representation in the media. When does representation go too far? We also discuss criticizing black art. Should we praise people like Tyler Perry even though his work is not the best quality? Is a win for one of us a win for ALL of us? I'm joined by my friend Amanda (@amandaxalli) as we discuss all of these topics and more!

Is Jesus real? Is Christopher Columbus a hero? Are elections rigged? We answer all of these questions and MORE!
