  • Selective Ignorance: Ep. 50 | Black History Month: Mr. Morale & The Lemon Pepper Steppers
    Feb 10 2026

    In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and Jason “Jah” Lee for a timely deep dive into Black History Month, racist laws in America, cultural stereotypes, and modern racism, opening with a frank discussion about the legacy and ongoing effects of racist legislation and why historical truth still faces resistance today [00:53]. The crew connects these themes to their own personal education journeys and lived experiences with how Black history is taught — or omitted — in schools [02:46], leading into a candid conversation about ignorance, self-education, and the gaps many adults still have in understanding Black historical contributions [06:04]. They then unpack the controversy surrounding Critical Race Theory and curriculum limitations, examining how political pressure shapes what students are allowed to learn [08:55], before spotlighting key historical figures and their lasting social and cultural impact [11:49].

    The discussion expands into cultural stereotypes and long-standing misconceptions about Black identity [15:02], followed by a nuanced breakdown of racial slurs, historical context, and how language evolves across generations [17:51]. From there, the hosts return to the structural level, outlining major racist laws and their real historical consequences [21:03], including miscegenation laws and the policing of interracial relationships [23:50]. The conversation then bridges past to present through examples of modern racism and current events [27:07], before shifting toward media analysis and the portrayal of Black culture in pop culture and entertainment [30:02]. Music is highlighted as a powerful tool of protest, preservation, and social commentary within Black history [32:47], with specific attention paid to controversial songs and their cultural ripple effects [36:03]. The episode closes with a direct call to action for listeners to pursue deeper education, cultural literacy, and historical awareness beyond performative celebration [38:52], reinforcing the show’s commitment to informed dialogue around Black history, race, education, and representation.
