Happy Swingin' Friday!

We had a great show today with our guest, our chat-room, news you can use, and dope music as usual!

News you can use:

Russian woman in Egypt takes on extreme baby twirling (see above) as a way to strengthen the baby's reflexes. We say: NO!!

Today we had a great discussion about Afro Latin culture and identity with filmmaker, Dash Harris. Her ongoing docu-series, Negro: A Docu- Series about Latino Identity covers Afro descendancy, colorism, signifiers at home that teach kids that "Black = Bad", and how to overcome.

Thanks to the chatroom-mates that dropped their hopes for the future throughout this holiday season!

In "News You Can Use", Saturday Night Live does a secret casting call for Black female comediennes, Erykah Badu models for a Givenchy campaign, and in an upcoming issue, Archie doesn't marry Betty & Veronica but Valerie! Valerie is the Black lead singer of Josie & The Pussycats and they have a BABY!!

Christmas got weird this week. FOX news is adamant (because they have no time or no lives) that Santa is white and can NOT be anything else ever. Oh and by the way...Jesus is White too. So they said. Peep the uncomfortable clip and listen to the show to hear what we think.

Later during the show, we had a spontaneous call-in with M.C. K~Swift, and world traveled educator and emcee about Cheif Keef's mixtape and hashtag #ImFinnaRaiseTheMurderRate. He penned an article about the reactions and reality of life as a teen in Chicago and why we can't fully blame Keef for the ills of society. Read the article HERE.

In unrelated Chicago news, R. Kelly's #AskRKelly twitter Q & A goes awry...

And just to finish on a bizzare note...

The fake sign language interpreter at the Nelson Mandela memorial reported seeing angels fly into the stadium and claims to have "violent" schizophrenic episodes. Oh and he has a rap sheet with multiple felonies over the years and the company that hired him mysteriously disappeared. So there's that.

Today for Air Out Wednesday we talk with writer, Glennisha Morgan about Lorde's anti-consumerism anthem, "Royals" remix featuring Rick Ross. Is she attacking and/or appropriating Hip Hop? You be the judge. Check out her article here and peep the original music video below.

In "News You Can Use" we air out the attention seekers that are assigning meaning to the President Obama "selfies" and the First Lady's "reaction". Later we discuss the appropriateness of calling Mandela, "Madiba" the traditional term of endearment his family and tribes-people call him. Do we have a right to say it too?

Later, we learn about a heartfelt story about a woman that wanted to rent a family this holiday season because she didn't have one. This led to some deep truth telling in our chatroom about family, therapy, friendship and more. Shout out to the entire chatroom for being there for each other in real time!! You're never alone on Bondfire Radio!

In Air out news, we had an anonymous listener air out presently popular rapper, 2 Chainz for being sloppy, cheap, and generally not tipping. We took more airouts from the chatroom about jobs, self-care, and the school that is trying to expel a 12 year old for having natural hair.

Later, TK took to the airwaves to discuss the 244 unlawful deportations and killings that Haitians in The Dominican Republic are going thru. Is your cheap vacation worth being bought on the backs of those who have no rights? TK asks the chatroom-mates and listeners.
