We discuss the endless and divisive gender wars that happen on Twitter between the blue check Black Twitter accounts and the misogynistic fake hotep types.

In this episode, part 2 to the discussion started in Episode 75, we discuss how bourgeois Black writers and artists produce, consume, and critique arts and politics with two goals: Self-Presentation (including Impression Management) and Therapy (including working out trauma, analyzing interpersonal issues, and managing self-esteem).
