Radio Caña Negra

We chat about h ow we de-center  whiteness, the many instances of inter and intra-Black allyship, and about survival theft and scamming.   

Walking unicorn, fairy dust from my coochie ministry, the colorism that jumps out of said ministry, our take on the bizarre Red Table Talk, antiblack "pro-Black" practices, and exactly why y'all need to leave these nothing-to-lose young dudes alone.  

"Ain't-Shit" Bro Code, Performative Oppression, Power in Relationships, and the Usual Anti-Black Latinos.

 "Issa shoulda had a Latina friend" goofball analysis, people who are not "of the people" speaking for the people and maligning the same people they perform activism for, “Baby mothers" as the best organizers, men trapping women with babies and other reproductive realities in Latin America, including the lack of information and the case of a 12-year-old taking headache medicine (panadol) to stop a pregnancy, and folks feigning struggle for an audience.  

P.S. The filmmaker mentioned is Nikyatu Jusu, her film "Suicide by Sunlight" is streaming here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRR-0IcKLd8 

What skills are we leaning into, what joy are we finding, and what traditions are we passing on to our children during this time of social isolation? What do we lose or gain living and assimilating in the U.S. and away from our families and spouses in Latin America? And what spiritual practices are keeping our peace during this time? 

EPISODE 5: ¡MACHETAZO! to generational trauma, harmful traditions, and most of all anti-black norms period and especially within Latinx spaces! We are dragging out the dysfunction and revealing our grievances for generational transformation.  Join us in dragging: projectile trauma, scapegoating Dominican anti-blackness, the incessant habit of calling Black hair "rizos" & curls, beating children, and what is up with Janvieve's affinity for cow lung?
