    Political Infighting, Diaspora Wars & the Return of Railroad Zaddy
    3 Nov 2026
    Democrats are fighting Democrats, Africans and Black Americans are fighting each other, and somehow we're losing sight of the bigger picture in both conversations. Meanwhile, Railroad Zaddy is on drugs, Marian is already getting on my nerves, and Jax is giving Denzel in Training Day over on Reasonable Doubt.

    Atlanta Is Not a Real Place, Iyanla Coddles A(nother) Grown Man & the Respectability Politics of Reasonable Doubt
    30 Oct 2026
    POTUS is more offended by Obama's Cheesecake Factory comparison than being compared to a dictator, while Mean Mamdani drags him to hell (again). Iyanla Vanzant reignites those male-centered allegations with her latest take on R. Kelly, Halle Berry handles family business in public, and Dame Dash and Kanye aren't going to the Super Bowl. Plus, why Reasonable Doubt viewers need to get comfortable with complicated Black women.
