Everybody doesn’t subscribe to that, and he didn’t mention anything about the bible. Any reason to disparage Black women. I wish the questions would sta... more

  • Conspiratorial, apologist waffle

    Tuned in to hear about the sad death of D’Angelo which was the headline topic of episode. Barely mentioned him. Instead heard weird ramblings about how people calling out Kamala for her part in the genocide were paid to do so 🤦‍♂️
