Hey there heathens and holy rollers, inspired by the budding love affiars between Eureka O’Hara and Trinity K. Bonet, this week Juanita and Avery attempt to speak truth to the nuances and complexities of interracial dating in Queer communities. More specifically, they speak on Black folks that exclusively seek out white partners for sexual and romantic connections. They later transition to commentary on the demonization of African spiritual practices, its connection to colonization, and the many similarities some African spiritual practices have with Christain narratives. They wrap up with a conversation on the brilliance of Lil Nas X and his most recent song and video, Industry Baby. #RPDR #AllStars6
