Wonderbread on a Beach #2 - On Chesapeake Shores, Wes is a thief!

June 17, 2020 16:30 - 1 hour - 196 MB

Another episode of Wonderbread on a Beach is here! This episode is KINDA long because there’s a lot of enemies of progress using everything from respectability to false equivalencies to placate non-black audiences. If there’s to be any change, we have to challenge the majority to do the self-reflection and external work to undo the racism they ignore or participate in to bring healing and empowerment to the black community. After I suggest ways that progressives can do better, I discuss the l...
