(22:43) - Recap of Session 78\u2019s discussion about the Deep South of Mississippi and Sammy shares his perspective on being a white man speaking about black issues - \u201cWhich is understanding the appropriation points, how to avoid appropriation, and how you as a white person who feels like and wants to be an ally can step in motion with that.\u201d

(45:59) - Daryl pushes back on the idea of \u201cunconditional\u201d black love and Sammy explains why he\u2019s never been in a interracial relationship - \u201cWhite people used to take away my blackness and I had to stop my friends from taking away my blackness \u2026 And now, if I don\u2019t just blindly support a black business, I\u2019m also not black?\u201d

(56:45) - The problem with Dr. Umar and anti race mixing philosophies - \u201cI don\u2019t want just black people to love black people \u2026 I want black people to be loved because being loved is what starts black love in the first place.\u201d

(1:09:18) - The \u201cSWIRLCONOMICS\u201d discussion wraps up with commentary on the way white people fetishize black people and why we shouldn\u2019t let our personal ideas of beauty be manipulated - \u201cThe fettuccine of white people knows no bounds.\u201d
