The Fake Ass Book Club

This week on the Fake Ass Book Club the ladies discuss Passing, a riveting novel by African-American author Nella Larsen. The hosts tackle the concept of “passing,” which is a practice that entails black people pretending to be white, in order to gain access to "white privilege". They compare and contrast the book with the Netflix film. Yep, it's going to be a good one!!

Welcome back to the Fake Ass Book Club! Moni and Kat finish their conversation about Eric Jerome Dickey's novel Milk In My Coffee with their guest, comedian Deon Curry. They find quite a bit of humor in the not funny topics of eugenics (purposefully marrying lighter people to have lighter kids), explaining racism to white partners, and racist in-laws. Our hosts also discuss if Ross and Rachel where on a break. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. thefabpodcast@gmail.com YouTube The Fake Ass Book Club https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCItEfcDmVRiRjMcZCE2rKFw Instagram @thefabpodcast Deon Curry @brightfame4 Sorry We're Canceled https://www.youtube.com/results?searchquery=sorry+we%27re+canceled The Patdown https://www.youtube.com/results?searchquery=the+patdown+with+ms+pat+podcast Now, That's Debatable https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpFQi7uEqRz47ldtmccnUfA

Welcome back F.A.B. Fam! This one is being brought to you by shea butter. They aren't a sponser, it's just keep our hosts from being ashy. Moni and Kat sit down with comedian Deon Curry to talk about his book pick, "Milk In My Coffee" by Eric Jerome Dickey. It's a throwback to the 90's as they discuss the issues around "interracial" dating. Kat obviously doesn't believe in the concept of "race"...fans of the show already know this. (At 8:30 Kat tries to take a picture in a dim room of a dark-skinned person and a light-skinned person; It's almost impossible.) Kat is also eager to talk about the many reasons she dislikes this book while Deon defends his choice thoughtfully. The crew also share their mutual love of the "magical" healing power of laughter. It's the contrast that makes life good, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. thefabpodcast@gmail.com YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCItEfcDmVRiRjMcZCE2rKFw Instagram @thefabpodcast Deon Curry @brightfame4 Sorry We're Canceled https://www.youtube.com/results?searchquery=sorry+we%27re+canceled The Patdown https://www.youtube.com/results?searchquery=the+patdown+with+ms+pat+podcast Now, That's Debatable https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpFQi7uEqRz47ldtmccnUfA Movie reference: Imitation of Life (Sooooo GOOD!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC7elhmy1-E

Welcome back to the conclusion of the fake ass review of Don Miguel Ruiz's "The Four Agreements". Our hosts continue to debate their guest Eric Dizzy on religion, male/female communication, whether the obese should recieve socialized medicine, and so much more! This one is so fake because they barely mention the book, but it is still a great convo. There are also 3 hidden references to the show "Friends". If you find them let them know in the comments, and you might win a prize. Fun! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Cheers!

Cheers! thefabpodcast@gmail.com The Fake Ass Book Club on YouTube thefabpodcast on IG Adult language Show notes: For the record, Moni & Kat love the more positive aspects of black culture and hope this show serves to help amplify positive black voices in our community. We also hope to challenge the stereotype that there is nothing good in black culture (meanwhile it’s being appropriated, underappreciated, and monetized all over the world by non-blacks) . We are the culture. It’s up to us to truly see ourselves in all of our beauty and shine a light on it. Also we don't have a problem with people who aren't skinny!!😍 The 4 agreements: 1.Be impeccable with your word. 2.Don’t take anything personally. 3.Don’t make assumptions. 4.Always do your best.
