Today D. Mills (https://twitter.com/mdmills79) and I talk with Dr. Tommy Curry (https://twitter.com/drtjc) on the need for black male studies in academia and the media. Dr. Curry has also been in the news recently for a controversy he’s been embroiled in thanks to a witch hunt started by conservative white supremacist Rod Dreher. We also go into whether such a thing as Black Patriarchy exists in the black community or if it’s a myth,

Recently Wal-Mart got in trouble for describing the color of a product on their website as “Nigger-Brown.” In this episode I wanted to go into why exactly so many people are doing so much racist spontaneous acting out  and how it relates to the alt-right’s obsession with “free speech.”

Discussed in this episode:

The movie clip that starts off the episode is from the 1974 movie Trick Baby, based on Iceberg Slim’s book of the same name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pQ-YPjasGc

Breakdown of Wal-Mart’s Nigger-Brown Snafu: https://www.vibe.com/2017/07/walmart-n-brown-wig-cap/

Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome by Joy DeGruy

The book: http://amzn.to/2uAhF8l

The video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFm93vMPUZw

That video link is especially a good video for elaborating on my points from this episode about how and why it’s psychically necessary for white sanity that black people remain some level of subhuman status in a system of white supremacy. I highly recommend watching the linked video or reading the linked book to get the most of this episode.

We had a whole agenda of topics for discussion today, but due to technical difficulties with losing co-host Mike (@blackexception1 on Twitter) and stalling while waiting for him to resolve his tech issues and come back (he never did), remaining co-host D. Mills (@mdmills79 on Twitter) and I ended up having a pretty fun unplanned discussion on gentrification.
