This is an episode where we dropped so much game we decided to make it double length. We considered breaking it up into two parts but decided to keep it as it was. We discuss Bree Newsome, the woman who made a name for herself taking down the Confederate flag in South Carolina following Dylann Roof’s shooting, and how in a recent series of tweets she has changed her focus to Black male patriarchy now that she has a platform.

Discussed in this episode:

• The Slumflower clip where she went to the BBC to tell them how awful Black men are to Black women: https://twitter.com/BBCWomansHour/status/1004232866677579776
• The two Bree Newsome threads that we discuss: https://twitter.com/BreeNewsome/status/1004800085086097408; https://twitter.com/BreeNewsome/status/1005201819545595904
• My thread about Bree Newsome’s anti-Black male tweets: https://twitter.com/ChampagneSharks/status/1005188224497668097
• The statement article from Bree Newsome on why she and a White man were chosen to remove the flag: http://archives.bluenationreview.com/exclusive-bree-newsome-speaks-for-the-first-time-after-courageous-act-of-civil-disobedience/
