Mo Facts revisits a Washington Post clip of black female activists demanding a black woman Vice President. He argues that these "Black Ink" leaders used the "leverage" of George Floyd's death to secure political positions for themselves rather than addressing the plight of black men. He describes this as a "matriarchal" power play that ignores the volume of votes needed from black men to effect real change.
Charlamagne Tha God discusses "Post-Traumatic Slave Disorder," a term coined by Angela Rye. He reads from his book "Shook Ones," citing Rachel Yehuda's research at Mount Sinai Hospital on epigenetic inheritance. He claims that the trauma of slavery is physically present in his family's genetics, a claim the hosts view as a form of psychological entrapment.
The impact of colorism in mass media and politics is examined, noting how figures like Barack Obama and Kamala Harris navigate these perceptions. It is argued that darker-skinned media personalities like Joy Reid may face different standards of public "cancellation" compared to lighter-skinned counterparts like Angela Rye.
Angela Rye's appearance on the Essence YouTube channel is analyzed for its use of "victim terminology" such as "oppressor" and "marginalized." The segment critiques her call for "banking black" alongside Charlemagne Tha God and the reliance on alliances with other marginalized groups. Claims are made that a small minority of activists, funded by figures like George Soros, dominate the narrative on platforms like Twitter to represent the broader Black sentiment.
