227: Constant State of Aggravation

In this episode, after sharing quotes and randomness, I unpack my frustration with a viral video where Kendrick Lamar’s verse—"Don't let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that's law"—is deliberately distorted for entertainment. Reflecting on Michael Kiwanuka’s "Black Man in a White World," I explore the disheartening reality that some comedians profit from twisting Black voices for an audience that rewards them, leaving little room for accountability or change.
