We're back on track! On this episode we discuss an array of topics. The discovery of mask breath. You know, the moment where you get a whiff of your breath after you put your mask on. Now you have to go brush your teeth. ALM enthusiasts call for protests and national media cover of the murder of 5 year old Cannon Hinnat in North Carolina. A task force was formed to hunt down the child's murder. He was arrested within 24 hours of this crime and charged with 1st degree murder. Yet posts with the hashtag #JusticeForCannon are going viral as if justice has not been quickly served. Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B released a video for thieir track WAP; sparking fake outrage in the internet streets as people complain that Meg and Cardi are not good role models for children. We have a sneaking suspicion that they never intended to be. Lastly, Beyonce set Disney + ablaze with Black is King. We give our thoughts on this piece and how you don't have to be apart of the Bey Hive to respect Beyonce's work. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/1000-miles-apart/support

On this episode we go on the funniest tangent of the podcast thus far, securing our crowns as "Tangent Queens". So many random conversations occurred that it's impossible to break it all down in the show notes. All you need to know is, we have big pum pum energy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/1000-miles-apart/support

Takarra drove 1,000 miles to visit Stephanie. You'd think the pandemic would be her only worry while traveling, but no. Everything that could wrong did. We still had fun together and recap the adventures in today's episode. We also discuss a Facebook live rant of a woman who posed the question, "Why don't Black lives matter to Black people" after gun violence sent many Black men to the hospital in one night. Last, but certainly not least, we discuss people who overshare on Facebook. Every detail of their life is shared like a poorly written soap opera and we read every word, mildly invested in their drama filled sagas. *facepalm* Follow us on social media Facebook page Twitter Instagram --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/1000-miles-apart/support

In this episode we discuss our thoughts on distance learning vs in person learning while the Rona is still outside. We also discuss the dramatic Facebook live rant from Moneybag Yo’s ex after he gifted is new girlfriend a lavish vehicle for her birthday. Is his ex entitled to feel some kind of way about the gift as long as Moneybag Yo is taking care of their child? Lastly, we discuss when to let go of things that hurt you in the past and when you may just have to let go of the person or people who hurt you regardless of their relation to you. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/1000-miles-apart/support

In today's episode we discuss Jada Pinkett-Smith's "entanglement" with August Alisna - was Jada's explanation good enough or even needed since August exposed her private business? Also, is it fair for people to consider Jada a predator for having a sexual relationship with August when he was vulnerable? After all, Jada was in a vulnerable place as well, considering she and Will were separated when this entanglement occurred. We also discuss the Goya boycott after the President of Goya expressed his admiration for the POTUS in a recent press conference. Lastly, an employee of a sandwich shop was recently sent home for wearing a face mask that had "Black Lives Matter" printed on it. We explore employers right to dictate dress code for their companies, but also their responsibility to be consistent with their enforcement and whether or not that employer was more concerned that a certain demographic of their customers would be offended by the masks.

In this episode we discuss Terry Crews’ uncanny ability to put his foot in his mouth. Who asked him to speak on racial issues? Nobody! We also discuss Kanye West’s tweet stating that he’s running for president in 2020. We didn’t ask for that either. Lastly, schemes and MLMs. Some may be worth it if there’s a tangible product, while others will have you making an “investment” with absolutely no return. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/1000-miles-apart/support

We made it to 10 episodes!! In this episode we discuss Tina Fey and Jimmy Kimmel's recent proactive requests to remove their blackface episodes from Netflix and Hulu of shows such as 30 Rock and SNL and their apologies. Should we consider the context in which black face was used? Did the Black community even request this in fight for equality and police reform? Especially considering that their depictions where far from the offensive nature in which black face began. When do allow non POC's to apologize for their racist actions and/or comments and forgive them? Once they've acknowledged their wrong doings and (hopefully) educated themselves on why it was offensive, shouldn't they be allowed to move on? We also discuss does being 1,000 miles apart from each other have an impact on our friendship. It's not easy being in a long distance relationship with your BFF, but somehow we make it work...Even if Takarra can't say "I love you" to Stephanie. *sigh* Lastly, are y'all going outside yet? With Covid-19 cases spiking after states lifted restrictions, we're curious to know if you're venturing outside to resume your "normal" life or are you still taking precautions. And what happened to the Murder Hornets that were also threatening 2020? Did they decide that they'll kill the bees some other time? Hmm...

In this episode we discuss the removal of the Mammie image from Aunt Jemima products along with the removal of statues in various states of historically racist figures. We then pose the question "Are we old?" as we talk through Takarra's memory issues, Stephanie's kids roasting her age, and not wanting to keep up with new technology. Oh and by the way, Happy Father's Day to fathers only...Single mother's stay in May :-) Timestamps 01:15 - Controversial logos and statues being removed 51:00 - Are we old??? 1:26:00 - Happy Father's Day Follow us on our 1,000 Miles Apart Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/1000milesapartpodcast, Twitter https://twitter.com/1000milesapart1, and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/1000_miles_apart/. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/1000-miles-apart/support

In order to be a catalyst for change, we have to have real life conversations that confront the systemic racism in this country toward black people. As two black women in America, we know all too well how systems disguised as laws have been put in place to attempt to keep black people from succeeding. The jealousy and envy of the good ole boys will continue to be called out.  On today's episode we discuss the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement and our views on people who say "all lives matter” in response. We also discuss systemic racism in relation to Black Wall Street and the war on drugs, along with the school to prison pipeline.  Timestamps 02:14 - Dear Macy, BLACK LIVES MATTER! 30:40 - Black Wall Street 41:25 - The war on drugs and the school to prison pipeline --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/1000-miles-apart/support

Floyd was murdered while handcuffed and lying face down on the street, as a police officer held his knee on Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.
