Rena and I tackle some of the hot topics of the week:

Eminem spits racist, derogatory lyrics about Black women.  Why aren’t Black folks putting him in check?

Feminists are divided over Michelle Obama’s role as First Lady?  Is she wrong for making motherhood her highest priority?

Finally, we talk NBA playoffs/Finals.  Can the Lakers make it to the finals?  Is it time for Lebron James to replace Kobe as THE star of the NBA?

The following is a sneak preview, if you will, of The Naked Truth podcast. It contains excerpts from a previously recorded program.

We discussed why he appeals to white people. We also raised some key questions: Are people expecting too much from Obama? And is he really that different from Hillary Clinton?

You can decide for yourself.
