Topic: Foster Care

An interview from the "Soft White Underbelly" YouTube channel features a woman named Diamond who began working the streets at age 11. She describes her journey through the foster care system and the trauma of early childhood abuse. The hosts use her story to illustrate the "feeder system" from foster homes to the "blade" (prostitution), contrasting her reality with the glamorous image of sex work in pop music.

The discussion explores the tension between illegal immigration and the interests of Black Americans. The hosts argue that the political empathy shown for "kids in cages" was notably absent during the War on Drugs, which tore Black families apart, and they suggest that the two groups have competing interests that make a coalition impossible.
