Mí No Black | Bonus Episode

In this bonus “Let’s Talk About Race” episode of Selective Ignorance , Mandii B, A-King, and Jason “Jah” Lee open with some new-segment jokes [ 00:00 ] before acknowledging that somehow everything eventually becomes about race [ 01:01 ] , recapping a Jamaica trip [ 02:24 ] , and revisiting the potential problems with Meta smart glasses [ 02:45 ] . The main debate begins with Fat Joe defending his use of the N-word on The Joe Budden Podcast [ 05:04 ] and Marc Lamont Hill’s response [ 06:38 ] , as the crew questions whether growing up alongside Black people or being deeply connected to hip-hop culture gives non-Black people permission to use the word [ 08:27 ] .

They examine Latino anti-Blackness, racism, and colorism [ 12:40 ] , the unique racial and cultural dynamics of New York versus other parts of the country [ 24:03 ] , and who gets access to language rooted in Black culture [ 25:49 ] . The conversation expands to accountability, allyship, and who really earns a proverbial “cookout invite” [ 31:35 ] , contrasting cultural proximity with actually showing up for Black issues.

The discussion continues with Raven-Symoné’s comments about race and Black identity [ 33:08 ] , including her argument that Blackness can be “universal” [ 34:29 ] and why her famous “I’m American, not African-American” explanation creates what the crew describes as “All Lives Matter” vibes [ 39:50 ] . From there, things get considerably lighter with light-skin jokes and a Harriet Tubman reference [ 42:17 ] , a pressure-cooker chitlins story [ 43:00 ] , and a late-night Jamaica cookie situation [ 43:37 ] .

The food debate keeps rolling through soul food and its history of making something out of scraps [ 45:58 ] , an argument involving grits, sugar, and pizza [ 48:55 ] , and a passionate seafood boil and Old Bay rant [ 50:19 ] . Finally, the crew checks back in on Dr.

Umar Johnson’s long-promised school [ 54:05 ] before closing the bonus episode with credits and a reminder to subscribe [ 55:00 ] . No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!
