That Cool Dad/Obama/Soccer Mom Hip-Hop playlist that Ricky talks about at the 21:20 mark is the type of rap that The Booth has always clowned the White posters for only listening to.

After a bunch of technical difficulties and delays, I finally bought a new laptop and this is the first episode using it. So far, so good.

Today we discuss answers to reader questions, including the topics of Black consciousness/liberation, the dynamics of interracial dating in a supposedly post-racial, gentrified landscape, and Twitter Hoteps.

The book The Tourist: A New Theory of the Leisure Class by Dean MacCannell is discussed: amzn.to/2s348lH

We had a whole agenda of topics for discussion today, but due to technical difficulties with losing co-host Mike (@blackexception1 on Twitter) and stalling while waiting for him to resolve his tech issues and come back (he never did), remaining co-host D. Mills (@mdmills79 on Twitter) and I ended up having a pretty fun unplanned discussion on gentrification.

"Conversational cucking".

My issues with this current trend of Black Girl Magic as a form of activism, and the weird political earth-mother intersectional blerd cult that seems to have arisen around this trend, especially on Twitter.
