Rachel shares a letter from Ireland, where a teacher asks her the definition and meaning of the Pan African Diaspora, as well as the difference between Black and African American. This letter also brings up Rachel's name change to Nkechi in 2016, and she elaborates on the meaning and distinction between her personal & public names.

We discuss the confusing topic (by design) of race/multi ethnic racial classification. We use Neely Fuller theory of 3 Race Categories: 1-White Supremacists 2-White People 3- Non White People. We play clips of The C.O.W.S interview of 19 Year Old Author Azure Savage, Neely Fuller, Malcom X, Oprah Winfrey and Racial Dolezal. 

In this episode, the informant talked about dignity as a sense of mutual self-worth within the human race and race and gender as social constructs that serve to disrupt our overall sense of oneness with each other.

She also talked about blackness within global white supremacy, about multiple community membership versus single community membership, and about identity as a contested concept.

So, Pierre and I decide to get topical. When this movie came out in 1986, even the trailer made us /facepalm as 10 year olds. But recently, unless you've been avoiding all news and social media, you may have noticed recently life has kinda imitated "art." Could it be the head of the Spokane NAACP was inspired this awful movie? Ok, probably not, but we decide to make the commentary a little more serious, as only American middle class white guys can when spouting off opinions about the depressing state of race relations. (like our opinions matter most)

To sync up the commentary with the movie, start the track when the "NEW WORLD PICTURES" logo comes up.

*By the way, if you like these commentary tracks, naturally you should love Rifftrax! They do what we do, but a lot funnier and they sort of came up with the idea 25 years ago. Click below to view their site - it won't hurt, we promise.
