Our goal is elevate, educate, and empower those of us in the Black Queer community, and also to help our supporters and allies to become more knowledgeable about what we need as far as support! On this episode Xay Dé briefly covers some recent events circling around the concept of Respectability Politics! In what ways this construct negatively impacts people of color, LGBTQAI+ people, and women/AFAB people … how it gaslights those marginalized communities into thinking that they have the ability to match the standards put in place by White Supremacy. She also ties this concept into Halle Bailey portraying Ariel in the new Disney “The Little Mermaid” film, and the passing of the Queen of England, Elizabeth the second.  “Playing the Game of Respectability Politics, but at What Cost?” - https://www.verywellmind.com/playing-the-game-of-respectability-politics-5215862  “Whites think Black People Feel Less Pain” - https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=201128359  “Racism and the Empathy for Pain on Our Skin” - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3108582/  Queen Elizabeth - https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-61585886.amp  “The Little Mermaid” (Halle Bailey) - https://youtu.be/0-wPm99PF9U FOLLOW: Xay Dé - https://www.instagram.com/pinkpryncess_xay/ (INSTAGRAM) | https://twitter.com/PinkPryncessXay (TWITTER); Mikey (MAB) - https://www.instagram.com/bamgizmo/ (INSTAGRAM) | https://soundcloud.com/user-321866133 (SOUNDCLOUD) INTERACT: https://linktr.ee/blacktothefuturepodcast/
