On this week’s episode, hosts jarrett hill and Tre’vell Anderson discuss “Digital Blackface”, such as when white people use gifs of Nene Leakes as a form of their own self-expression. Our hosts pose the question, what, exactly, is the motivation behind a white person’s decision to express themselves using Black or non-white digital media online?
But first, a sneak peek into jarrett and Tre’vell’s newest book, Historically Black Phrases, dropping September 19th.
