Now, let's dive deep into a recent experience with the revamped story of "The Color Purple." The musical not only exceeded expectations but also sparked profound conversations within the black community. Host Chris shares his initial concerns about the musical maintaining the gritty essence of the original film. However, he was pleasantly surprised by the moments that retained the raw emotion.

The deep dive takes an unexpected turn as Chris explores a Twitter controversy involving Boosie's reaction to the movie. Boosie walked out of "The Color Purple" due to his discomfort with the portrayal of Miss Celie's romantic relationship with Shug Avery. This sparked a heated exchange with transgender influencer TS Madison. While acknowledging Boosie's legendary status in the rap game, Chris delves into the discomforting dialogue and reflects on how we sometimes grant grace to artists despite their controversial views.

The discussion extends to the broader issue of representation and acceptance within the black community, referencing Alice Walker's intention behind the original novel. Chris sheds light on the historical resistance to depicting certain relationships on screen and emphasizes the importance of challenging outdated views.

In the "Black People Yo Ass Should Know" segment, we honor the trailblazer Alice Coachman, who defied all odds, broke records, and became an inspiration for generations to come.
