We Don't Know Yet

Cancel culture is upon us. What's right, what's wrong, and who gets banished? Chocolate and Horchata figure out that we tend to rank folks based on perceptions of sin and societal contribution. We talk Kevin Hart, Nick Cannon, Chris D'Elia, Bill Cosby, and Amy Cooper, you know, all the people that have been canceled recently.

Does free speech extend to all citizens? Is society inherently better than it was 30 years ago? We dive into a spirited debate on whether hate speech should be allowed, our individual definitions of free speech, and how it should be treated with deeper analysis and care. The betterment of society conversation still persists, we will let you decide who won that debate.

Nsima and Brian attempt to grapple with this topic as best possible. This is a long one, so buckle up, eyes forward, and try to hang with us for the entirety of the show!

Black Twitter went wild when Jada dropped the word 'entanglement'. We generally don't weigh in on celebrity do's or dont's, but today we wanted to touch on the difficulties in marriage, the necessity for relationship guidelines and transparency, and making sure you have good people around you. Stop listening to friends (or society) who don't mean well for your future!

Nsima and Brian dove all the way in on the era of white guilt that we are currently in. What does privilege mean and are folks using it to further productive conversation? We touch on Bigmouth, Bozama St. John, and that constructive approaches to equity and job accessibility are sorely needed.

Corrections:

*American Disability act was passed in 1990.

*Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man with Emmanuel Acho

*Jenny Slate was the actress from Big Mouth who gave her role away, saying Black characters 'should be played by Black people'

The dynamic duo dive into the importance of sobriety and being prepared. If you're old enough, you've enjoyed a glass or two of alcohol, sometimes a bit more than that. We talk about moderation, choosing the right friends, and not using alcohol as a crutch to escape your issues.

George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery.

This show is simply a moment to discuss the internal conflict within us all. Black folk have always been keenly aware of systematic oppression, the assault on black people, and now the disproportionate impacts on our community by COVID-19. Hopefully, now, there is a hyper-awareness around these topics.

However, there is something each and every one of us can do. If nothing else, think about what role, big or small, you play in helping alleviate the conflicts around you. Based on where you are, with what you have, with who you are closest to, where do we go from here?

Thanks for listening.

What have we learned during quarantine?

Nsima and Brian dive into lessons they've learned during the shelter-in-place restriction, why Jeff Bezos is not the cause of our suffering, and the necessity of sunlight.

In this episode, Mark J. The Poet joins WDKY to discuss how his porn addiction affected his childhood, his relationships with others, and how it almost cost him his marriage. This vulnerable and intimate peek into his story shows us that porn doesn't just impact young singles or couples, but has lasting impacts well into other seasons of life.

Nsima and Brian discuss the increased use of addictive behaviors during the quarantine period, primarily pornography. We go through it all, the effects of porn on the brain, impacts on relationships and our own personal experience with porn.

Mindsets and perceptions are what distinguish top performers from the rest of the pack. Carol Dweck does an awesome job detailing a fixed mindset vs. a growth mindset. In this show, we dive deep and detail how this book has impacted our lives and how it can impact yours too!
