The Simpsons Are A Black Family with Lorraine DeGraffenreidt

Oh boy did we have fun with this one. Lorraine DeGraffenreidt stopped by to present all the evidence for the Simpsons in fact being an African-American family. Sound crazy? Just you wait. She thinks creator Matt Groening, known counter-culture weirdo, had a dream larger than just creating the first adults-only cartoon sitcom. She thinks he wanted to change white people’s hearts and minds. But can Lorraine convince us that it’s true?? Along the way we also discuss Judaism, hair, how we both get street harassed in very specific ways, the definition of redbone, and of course, Smithers.
