Episodes
1. What are Your Thoughts Raising Free Black Children?
Terence Nance introduces his new late-night series before being stopped by the NYPD. Segments include: "Everybody Dies!," a cable-access show hosted by "Ripa the Reaper"; an infomercial for a topical-ointment cure for "white thoughts"; and a talk show on sex in the black community.
2. Two Piece and a Biscuit
This week's program begins with a video game to train an army of black women to defend themselves against aggressors. A gender-diverse group of subjects talk about the performance of gender. A wise uncle attempts to program his nephews on how not to be creepy. Speaking of creepy, Wendy gets lured into "Nuncaland," the Dominican-American fable inspired by a classic children's story.
3. They Got Some S**t That'll Blow Out Our Back
This week's program moves from the story of an afro that goes to prison for "badness"' to a family mourning a high-profile case of police violence. Also, does the Second Amendment apply to black people? Contestants on the game show "Hotep Squares" are asked about that, and many more questions on this week's Random Acts of Flyness.
