White people are venmo-ing obscure amounts of money to Black people to absolve themselves of racism. For a serious subject, this episode was friggin hilarious. Milly had me howling. Sheβs the bomb. Also, does the host have his own show? He should get in front of mic and have his own show.

@mm I felt the same. It was a great episode. I hope the host starts his own podcast.

@michelle_ebooks I loved the angle and vehicle they used to explore the discomforts too. It's disarming at first, funny in a dark way, and a light and accessible entry point to a serious discussion.

On the trend of Black folks receiving random obscure Venmos from White folks and putting $ amounts on police brutality reparations. The host did a 1-1 interview with both parties which was simultaneously funny and uncomfortable.

Omg. I thought that the host really was offering to coach Blake in the first segment. Really interesting episode on how "white guilt" manifests itself... in this case, making Venmo payments in attempts to alleviate their guilt. "I think it's a good thing for white people to sit with their guilt. gui...Show More
