Summary
This week Bridget Kelly and Mandii B start the podcast by discussing the backlash Kiera Sheard caught after her comments regarding trust, diplomacy, and relationships which inspired the ladies to ask, where do boundaries stop and insecurities begin (9:00)? They also discuss their disdain for Kanye's virtual outbursts and his convenient use of his Blackness ONLY when it serves him (21:00).
Later, they are joined by friends with benefit and host of Pod Save America, Deray McKesson to unpack an outlandish statement made by a guest on the Joe Rogan’s podcast about Black Americans and their “proclivity towards violence” due to a DNA mutation (40:00). They also discuss the narratives that are left out of our history books like The Devil's Punch Bowl in (56:00), T-Pain’s opinion on Black History Month, felony voting rights, the different types of warrants that can be executed by police departments (1:00:00), and what laws you can support today to mitigate harm within the Black community (1:20:00).
