Durags and Boatshoes

This started out as episode 208, but Utah had other plans...

Inspired by Sky Full of Elephants, I ask: should Black Americans move as a political monolith? A sharp look at unity, power, and survival.

In this mini episode, A-Double breaks down the state of news media in 2025. With Trump’s lawsuit win against ABC News sending shockwaves, many mainstream outlets are scared to be critical of the current administration. That’s why it’s more important than ever to support truth-tellers like Democracy Now!, ProPublica, and Black-led voices like Karen Hunter, Tavis Smiley, and Don Lemon. Tune in to find out who’s still standing on truth and why your media diet matters now more than ever. Follow Durags & Boatshoes on all social platforms and tap in

This episode covers a range of topics, starting with Summer Jam, where I discuss the move to erase equity and inclusion. In Selling Hope Like Dope, we dive into the controversy surrounding JD Vance as a potential running mate for Trump, exploring how his wife’s ethnicity raises questions within the right-wing community. We also examine the impact of Trump’s policies on Black Americans, particularly focusing on the racial disparities in federal executions. Moving on to Hold This L, Kyle Rittenhouse gets bullied. In Not All Heroes, we celebrate the longevity of Black rappers like the Lox, Snoop, and Jay-Z. Finally, in Health Over Wealth, we highlight the importance of confidence for overall well-being.
