Black Women's Political Leverage and the Democratic Party

A 2020 demand from Black female leaders published in the Washington Post reminded then-candidate Joe Biden that his path to victory relied on their mobilization. The hosts discuss the tension between political "tokenism" and actual progress for the ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) community. Mo suggests that while the nomination is a win for the "She Will Rise" sisterhood, it may not result in material changes for the average Black American, and notes that Jim Clyburn's preferred candidate was passed over.

Don Spears and the Metaphor of Good Pussy

A 1990s interview with author Don Spears discusses his book "In Search of Good Pussy," where the title is used as a metaphor for seeking euphoria and happiness. The hosts use this as a springboard to discuss "WAP" as a form of currency or stock. They introduce the concepts of commodity money versus fiat currency to describe how the value of human intimacy is being manipulated by cultural "brokers."
