Topic: Michelle Wallace

The segment explores Gloria Steinem's admitted history with the CIA and her role in promoting the book "Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman" by Michelle Wallace. The hosts argue that Steinem used Ms. Magazine to drive a wedge between Black men and women by labeling Black male revolutionaries as "chauvinist pigs." They claim this "divide and conquer" tactic continues today, with modern Democratic operatives using out-of-context Malcolm X quotes to prioritize Black women over the community's male leadership.

The hosts examine Michelle Wallace's 1979 book *Black Macho and the Myths of the Superwoman*. They argue that while the "Superwoman" archetype (represented by figures like Beyonce and Oprah) was embraced by the media, Wallace herself has been marginalized or "white-balled" by history. They note the difficulty in finding high-quality contemporary interviews with her despite her academic career.
