  • Summary

  • "Freestyle 2: When They Go Low" challenges Michelle Obama's famous quote "When they go low, we go high" and explores how the Black community has shifted away from this philosophy. The episode examines instances where non-Black individuals and communities have engaged in disrespectful or harmful behavior, and how Black people have responded with even more forceful reactions. The podcast delves into the politics of respectability, resistance, and anti-Blackness, presenting examples of people of color and white individuals "going low" and the Black community responding by "going lower." Key cases discussed include Jasmine Crockett, the Montgomery Brawl, and OJ Simpson in the context of Rodney King. This thought-provoking episode aims to spark a conversation about the evolving strategies of resistance within the Black community and the rejection of respectability politics in the face of persistent racism and discrimination.
