01 | They Stole WOKE

from Talking Race, Africa and People · host TRAP

Weekly discussion series about Race, Racism, Africa and the African diaspora and society issues. On this week's episode we talk about how the word WOKE has been co-opted by mostly right wing political individuals. And we talk about the root of the word, which African Americans used to mean being aware and awake. We also delve into rap, and how it has changed from artists like Mos Def, Yasiin Bey, Talib Kweli and Common to J Cole and Kendrick Lamar.
