The hosts discuss how the "college promise" has failed to provide equal footing and instead created new class divisions. They explore how outside forces stoke "gender wars" and "generational wars" within the Black community to cause further destabilization. They specifically note how the financial influence of women in the Black church has shifted the traditional message and led to the withdrawal of men.
The discussion explores Gloria Steinem's admitted ties to the CIA and her role in promoting the book "Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman" by Michelle Wallace. The hosts argue that this was part of a broader effort to drive a wedge between Black men and women, undermining male leadership in the community. They contrast this with the current "Black Lives Matter" leadership, which they view as a continuation of this feminist-led narrative.
A BuzzFeed feature on "Mistress Velvet," a dominatrix who forces white male "slaves" to read black feminist theory, is discussed. The segment explores the bizarre intersection of white guilt and sexual fetishes, where men pay to be dominated as a way to "unpack" their privilege. The hosts view this as a "guilt gone bad" scenario that reinforces existing power structures rather than challenging them.
A historical parallel is drawn between Margaret Sanger’s strategy of using black ministers to reach the community and the modern use of entertainers. The discussion posits that entertainers have replaced the Reverend as the primary message carriers. This cultural dynamic is linked to the perception of Black America as a matriarchy, a blueprint now being studied by white liberal feminists.
