Have you seen Leaving Neverland on HBO yet? We've both watched it twice. It's hard to believe our hero Michael Jackson would do such horrible things to young boys. There's no way to really know for sure went down with Micheal and those children back in the 90's. There are several reasons the accusers could be lying. But their testimonies are really hard to dispute. Is it possible that some are telling the truth and there are some manipulative lying opportunists mixed in as well?

Tue, 22 Jan 2019 - 32min - 77 - Part 2 of Instagram Black Fishing & Skin Lightening Creams
This is a continuation of our last episoide..... We've been seeing those ridiculous articles about white Instagram models presenting themselves as black or mixed-race women to gain followers & we were perplexed. Then Black Chyna is now backing a skin lightening cream called "Whitenicious" (wtfff) that she is selling for $250 a bottle & it's being marketed toward darker skinned, particularly black, women. Why? Why is it that it's okay for white women to now wear cornrows when black women have been told for ages that those styles are not professional or even beautiful? Is it now a trend to "be black"? While all that is happening you still have black women learning how to love themselves FOR being black. But you still see european ideals forced upon women of color, to the extent that skin whitening creams are still being sold in 2018. Where does one draw a line on EITHER side? The world is getting weird, y'all. Part 2 coming up next!

- 71 - What is inappropriate culture appropriation & how can we avoid it?
Leslie & I are posing the questions of what is cultural appropriation. We know by definition what cultural appropriation is (we're not dumb) but when is it inappropriate or appropriate/appreciation? It seems like a hot button lately including for me with the rise of pole dance as fitness. Hear why this is so offensive to me & about how as a passing person of color other things are very offensive to me as well. Then, let's discuss in an open & honest way in the comments! No hate!

This is the crazy af story about Theresa Knorr, a mom who killed 3 people, including her two first born daughters in 1984 & 1985.
