We start it off on February 23rd, 2022 episode 23 with the random topic of group texts and how you can't edit an active group text thread. As well as donuts that we've been bringing to the Podcast lately. Shatta jumps into a phone number situation with Darrion. Domo brings Koala Yummies for a snack too. We then get down to business and start the discussion with, how being African American is every day for us it's not a one-month-of-the-year cultural celebration. We talk about colorism within the Black community, how our beauty is categorized completely different than other race's definitions of beauty. How the color issues stem from the slavery Era. How the cast of the new Fresh Prince is not being received well because they cast darker-skinned actors. How we're moving away from cable but the streaming services are slowly but surely becoming just as much as a luxury bill as cable. We talk about old-school watch parties. We talk a little about politics and The Crypt Keeper (Biden) and his old-timey antics. Overcoming your obstacles to be a better you, and strengthening yourself. We raise the question does the age and life experience of a teacher matter? How too many parents aren't as involved in their children's education. How we need to spend more time teaching our children what isn't being taught anymore like cursive handwriting. We move the conversation into being black in a predominantly white school while you're still trying to find your identity. How the small groups of minorities stick together for the most part forming bonds and friendships. How people say things in conversation and open the situation up to misunderstandings because they don't address you accordingly or with slick undertones. J'Dei expresses her disdain for the fact that Auntie Annie's Pretzels don't have a stand-alone location and are only in malls. We talk about the drive-thru Footlocker lolll and if Quentin Tarantino is alive or dead (it's Tim Burton we were thinking about). We end the episode with early departures, parking talk, and good vibes. Hit us up on smokerzanalyticz@gmail.com
