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 latest news from our favorite hwhite family.
