#43. In this episode, Abdullah and Andres review and discuss the book Woke Racism: How A New Religion Has Betrayed Black America by Columbia professor and author John McWhorter. Have progressives abandoned actual racial progress and improving the lives of Black people in favor of virtue-signaling and smoking out racists? Do we have a new “cannon” of approved books on the subject of racism that ensures that people only hold to one true opinion on the subject? The Souljah’s discuss this and more in this episode. *Note: The episode is labeled as explicit because there is a curse word near the end of the episode.

#42. In this episode, Abdullah and Andres discuss the idea of Black Fragility. Can Black people be fragile? Do we blame everything on so-called “white people” and avoid responsibility? Do we exhibit signs of distress when the topic of race comes up in a way that makes us feel uncomfortable? Can Black folks be racist? We go there!

#25 Do parents parent differently across races? Are there considerations for Black parents that other parents don&#39;t have? What&#39;s with whuppins? The Souljah&#39;s discuss parenting styles, differences in parenting between races, and cross-racial adoption. Plus, Andres can&#39;t seem to stop laughing! *** Correction *** In the episode, Andres mentioned John Legend was the first African American to get EGOT status. That was incorrect. He is the first African American male to get the honors. Whoopi Goldberg was the first African American to win all four awards. She won two of those awards in the same year.
