The internet and it's plethora of social networking sites is a very useful tool. Many utilize it as an extension to the work they are already doing, while others utilize it as their only voice for various reasons.  Within the "social justice" community online there has grown an arrogance, a need to call out others for what they are or are not doing. People who are not of one experience or attacking others who are, for not being "involved enough." People who've gained a few degrees or taken some college courses, look down upon those that are self taught.   00:32:00SweetSouthernTRadionoActivism,SweetSouthernT,Social Network,Transgender,TranslivesmatterIn the age of social networking, information is shared an spread within minutes.

I debated on when I should do it, I almost did a show the date that the ruling came down. The strategist in me told me to wait however. I knew that if I allowed things to play out a bit longer I would have much more to discuss.  I was not dissapointed in this thought, well I was but not in the way I expected. I expected backlash but not to the extreme that I've saw it.  I've made few comments on it all directly since the backlash started because I realize that I am too emotionally invested. Previously I was not prepared to do this episode without going full billigerent. I believe now however that I am able to share my thoughts views and emotions about it all with minimal "FUCK YO COUCH moments" although I'm sure you all enjoy them. 00:31:00SweetSouthernTRadionoLGBT,SupremeCourt,SweetSouthernTradio,BlackPack,ChocolocsIt took me quite some time to decide to do this podcast.
