About this episode
This podcast features a deep and provocative conversation with Smack Water, who passionately critiques the state of Black culture and the systemic issues facing the community today. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and accountability, arguing that many individuals settle for comfort in oppression rather than striving for true freedom and empowerment. The discussion touches on the hypocrisy prevalent in society, particularly around the expectations placed on Black men and women, and how these dynamics shape relationships and personal identities. Smack Water also reflects on his own experiences, including the lessons learned from his time in prison, and how they have shaped his views on professionalism and integrity. With a blend of humor and raw honesty, the episode challenges listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about their lives and the world around them.
