Summary
In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B welcomes Jay Hill for an in-depth exploration of public outrage, gender roles, and the layered dynamics of domestic violence. The conversation begins with Jay sharing his journey and book promotion [00:00], before diving into the culture of selective outrage and how gender roles shape public perception [00:49]. They reflect on celebrity accountability [04:11], concert experiences, and the divide between artist popularity and audience reaction [07:00].
The dialogue then turns toward the state of R&B and hip-hop [13:04], with Mandii and Jay highlighting how artists like Kendrick Lamar and SZA influence the industry, while also weaving in personal experiences and encounters with celebrities [18:01]. This leads to a candid discussion on interview aspirations and the ethical dilemmas of platforming controversial figures [21:45].
From there, the conversation deepens into justice, consequences, and responsibility [28:44]. Mandii and Jay explore the ripple effects of violence [39:05], the layered complexity of domestic abuse cases [46:26], and the role of restraint in relationships [52:24]. Sha’Carri Richardson’s recent arrest serves as a case study to unpack how gender and violence intersect in the public eye.
The episode closes with cultural reflections—how comedy influences social norms and Ari Lennox’s critique of its ties to colorism [01:05:39], and why society must prioritize unlearning and accountability [01:13:07].
