This week's episode the hosts explore the difficulties of navigating through the abuse and oppression from white supremacist society and their own communities as Black and Queer women in the occupied territory known as the United States. These reflections on the external and internal struggles center Black Feminist anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism and anti-patriarchal analysis as always. There will be no true Black liberation while Black LGBTQ people are allowed to be discriminated against by default. ALL Black people deserve freedom!
