Hello, fam, this episode is delivered with a lot of love and maybe a tad too much spirits. But it was a long day on the plantation, raising the babies, and avoiding patrols. So mama and daddy turnt up a little bit while delivering the latest sermon on today’s woeful woes. Help yourself!

We're back in effect. Your very own dark dynamic duo are spun up and ready to shuck the news. This week on the syllabus is 2018's rocky start, the legacy of Erica Garner and the tragic underserving of black women's health, and the continuing critical reception of Dave Chappelle.

While Mel is away, we have long-time friend of the show Jon West-bey, fellow parent and museum curator to discuss some of the topics of the day like the new tax bill as well as how labels like conservative and liberal operate for black folks.

The kind the Senate be pulling on Obamacare to try and force through corporate tax cuts for the richest.
