Ziwe May Destroy Hamilton

Episode Summary

Welcome to the Age of Discomfort.

Episode Notes

“Hamilton” is back in the mix, but the flavor has changed from beloved historical blockbuster to “wait, that’s what this is?” Elsewhere, in new works like “Baited,” on Instagram Live, and “I May Destroy You,” on HBO, Black women are getting personal in ways that are expanding our palates for discomfort.

Discussed this week:

• “Hamilton” (written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Disney+, 2020)
• “Baited” on Instagram Live
• Ziwe Fumudoh
• “I May Destroy You” (written by Michaela Coel, HBO, 2020)
• Native Land project
• “White Fragility” lecture (by Robin DiAngelo, 2019)
