Ep 168 I Can See That
from Black and Snerdy Podcast Hosted by Ode and Mo "Kid" Licorish
On this episode of Black and Snerdy, Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) dive into a deep exploration of heritage, language, and the generational ties that shape the Black experience. They navigate the complexities of African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and its role in identity, while discussing the cultural nuances of holidays like a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and the "European Puritan" roots often found in traditional history lessons. The conversation takes a personal turn as they reflect on the youthful energy of their elders and the importance of celebrating a life well-lived, threading together a narrative that balances the serious study of intergroup relations with the lighthearted banter of two friends shooting the shit. This episode is a masterclass in the Snerdy perspective on intersectionality, moving from the impact of the Black Panthers in New York City to the modern-day nuances of being Caribbean American. They explore the work of scholars at Arizona State University alongside relatable stories of waking up with gratitude and the simple power of a youthful spirit. If you’re looking for a deep dive into AAVE and linguistic heritage, reflections on the Black Panther legacy, takes on Charlie Brown holiday specials, and a meaningful discussion on the differences between Black American and Caribbean American cultures, this one is for you.
