White Validation: Does Brown & Black Culture Need To Be Validated By Whites?

Tony-winning actor James Iglehart (Genie from ‘Aladdin’) joins the program to discuss his new HGTV show ‘Biggest Little Christmas Showdown’. He also talks to Jack and Mike about 2020’s backlash on ‘Hamilton,’ and what diversity will look like on Broadway in 2021.

The guys also review two movies – Pixar’s ‘Soul’ and the Billie Holiday documentary, ‘Billie’. They also have a provocative conversation on why Black actors and Black stories are still being legitimized by white critics and white outlets. Why can’t they be legitimized by Black and Brown prestige outlets? Why isn’t that enough?
