#81 Happy Misgiving

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! Fidel Castro is dead and everyone with a facebook account is a political scientist, America hates it’s indigenous people, we recap the season finale of Insecure, and we’re not gonna stop saying white supremacy – stop asking. *WARNING INSECURE SPOILERS from moment 32:25 through 57:30* This week’s hot list: Insecure, #NoDAPL eviction, learning how not to offer an opinion because nobody asked you, the concept of “free” sex and dating, reality tv, the Bad Girls Club, femme lesbians-sexual harassment and consent, the tokening of Black women, the pathology of whiteness, that stupid article about white supremacy as a “fad”, and why our people insist on wishing us a Merry Christmas.
