Shakesha and the White Boy

Miscellaneous


Marsha P. Johnson checked all the boxes of unprivilege: She was black, a woman, transgendered, and poor. Despite all of this, she spent her life advocating for the LGBTQ+ community, sheltering other trans individuals in the 70s and caring for patients during the AIDS Epidemic of the 80s, living a rich life where she did so much more than kickoff the Stonewall Inn Riots. Shakesha and Ryan wrap up Black History Month by discussing Marsha's inspiring tenacity and how she never allowed circumstance to stop her from standing up for herself and those around her when they needed it most. On WTF, those hosts pull out their calculators and figure out some better things Michael Bloomberg could be doing with the $4.5M he is reportedly spending daily on his vanity presidential campaign. To kick things off, Shakesha plays Ryan a classic George Carlin standup segment to illustrate how little things have changed over the years. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/satwb/message
