#172 No Wig Shall Hold Me Down

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! On this episode… Are Black British actors “taking” Black American roles or is white supremacy just doing what it do? Black trans women are being killed left and right and the media is acting like it’s their fault. And we knew Janet Jackson was blacklisted but do you know the white man’s name who did it? It’s never a conspiracy, always a whole ass white man fvcking with whole ass Black people. This week’s hot list: J. isn’t using her feelings journal for her mental health, but you should. Listen to Marsha’s Plate podcast and stop being corny. Queen is queer ya’ll. Trans women are desired, loved, and not studying your crusty, stankin ass. There might be a serial killer in Jacksonville, Florida. Does anybody care tho? We’re getting a Harriet Tubman movie with Cynthia Erivo! Maybe we should be excited, or maybe we should just fight. If Janet Jackson can’t live, then who can? And Stop. Killing. Trans. Women.
