M.O.B.B TALK Robyn

There is a club that is growing in numbers at a very rapid rate.  There is not need to complete an application, pay a membership fee or be subjected to an interview. Those that are members were chosen and made members against their will. Do you think this sounds appealing? Would you like to become a member? Let's talk about it on M.O.B.B Talk.

We all have heard the old saying "sweep around your own front porch before you come to mine" or "if you live in a glass house, you shouldn't throw stones". In short these sayings tell us that we must fix our own issues before we begin the pursuit of fixing the issues of others. This episode discusses how the Black women is the most undervalued and most disrespected individuals not only in this country but also amongst our own. 

We all know the controversy of the 'n' word, depending on the ending, the intent can be changed.  In an attempt to take lemons and make lemonade, the 'n' word is used by some in the Black community as a term of endearment. In the same vain, we know that Black women have been objectified and sexualized for centuries. Today celebrities attempt to take that which has historically had negative connotations and have attempted to turn this hypersexuality into women's empowerment.  Let's talk about it on M.O.B.B Talk.

The last part of this discussion brings everything full circle connecting the dots between our ancestors and issues affecting us today.

We continue the conversation on how the role of the African American in this country continues to change but must continue to understand and honor the past in order to be the change we want to see.

Joined by special guests, Part I of this episode begins where it all started.  We discuss the history of the system of racism and the tactics used to label us as an inferior race.
