The Royal Court of Minority Korner is pleased to present this heartwarming, sexy, enlightening episode for the whole family. First up we talk about the differences between Spring and Winter break, and James investigates a Harlem college party. Nnekay introduces us to Oakland treasure Little Cindy Oakland Woo Hoo. We answer your questions for “Ask Minority Korner Anything” from ‘What media should I be taking in?” and getting involved in local politics. We cover Oliver Stone’s documentary about the History of the U.S., The Black Panthers Mix Tape, bell hooks, 13th, and more. We also discuss a Korner Kid’s efforts in getting a seat at the table- the political table! Comedian Michael Che’s comedy is slaying on Netflix, and a perfect example of using comedy for activism. We also debate the difference between Eryka Baduizm, and actual Buddhism which leads us into James’ korner: Using Buddhism to negotiate through racism, homophobia, and sexism to own your power. Are there Buddhist practitioners who are LGBT POC’s, as many western teachers tend to be white men? Yes: Zenju Earthlyn Manuel , leading the forefront on intersectional leaders in Buddhism. Also have you heard about the Buddhist leaders calling for racial justice 1944, Vice President Henry Wallace: Never forget! Our first Buddhist almost President leading the charge, and what different word we’d be living in if he had succeed FDR. Buddhist leaders call for racial justice- did you hear? No because media is so focused on pundits. James encourages us to find our own personal spiritual/artistic rituals for self care and being your personal best as we move through this new Renassiance. Nnekay walks us through some Intersectional Charities who Need your Help! From Trans Latina’s, to Prison Reform, to Reproductive Rights. Also Trevor Noah is showing us how it’s done going toe to toe with The Gremlin (Aka Angriest White Woman in the World). Also… what was that guy trying to slip Eryka Badu in that song!?
