“Should they?”

-Get Out by Jordan Peele

This part hit me so much when I was watching the movie. At first I was amazed by how Rose behave and how she seems really care black people's rights. I am also shocked to know she is one part of her family's bloody trade.

“ Black feminist thought's emphasis on the ongoing interplay between Black women's oppression and Black women's activism presents the matrix of domination as responsive to human agency. Such thought views the world as a dynamic place where the goal is not merely to survive or to fit in or to cope; rather, it becomes a place where we feel ownership and accountability. “

‘2 Dope Queens’ Is An Exciting New Podcast Everyone Should Hear

“For our show, people get to be the stars of their own stories and they get to be the stars of their own stand up,” Williams said during a press conference. “So it’s really cool to give our friends and a lot of people of color and different orientations an opportunity to speak for themselves and be sort of the main character as opposed to like the side character or supporting character.”

I like how they introduce their show and their intention for doing this show. It is exactly true that people become starts when they stand up there to talk their own stories. We never know what happened to people around us, and it is a great chance to listen, learn, and think others’ stories and others’ experiences.

“ After all, racism is the water in which Americans swim. We did not reach consensus on whether the corporatized civil rights machinery will be redesigned to make room for the new.  We did not swap analyses on strategies that will force similar levels of protection for Black, queer and trans folks as for cisgender straight men. We did not agree on whether #BlackLivesMatter is just a political moment or a new liberation movement. Those are talks for another time. The struggle for Black liberation has a very long history and we shared in that history during our meal. We talk. We build. We fight. We love. We work. We try. “

“We completely expect those who benefit directly and improperly from White supremacy to try and erase our existence.  We fight that every day.  But when it happens amongst our allies, we are baffled, we are saddened, and we are enraged.  And it’s time to have the political conversation about why that’s not okay”

“There’s always that stereotype, I think, in television where it’s like a black lady who’s always telling like a white dude like Patrick Dempsey, ‘You, need to get it together!’ We can do more than ‘you need to get it together,’” Williams said. “We go through so much. We’re like awkward and weird and funny and sometimes sad and sometimes happy. We have this whole range and so I hope that that’s shown in this podcast and I hope that other people see that.”
