A Black History of Stripper Culture👠💵

My exploration of sex history continues with A Black History of Stripper Culture. We talk about historic clubs like Magic City, how Atlanta got fully nude clubs, the black women who were/are strippers, the problems they face, labor history, depictions of black strippers, and how people's attitudes towards them have evolved over time.

Give her a watch

god capitalism really is evil

Lexis King Stans are called Lexuals. I don't make the rules.

shes hunting a mouse or perhaps a laser dot. sorry i just have had playboy bunnies on the brain since i watched the lexual video on the black history of strip clubs and then very soon after read kaoru mori: anything and something and it has that bunny club comic auauauauua im gay. ok. i am gay. thats why its a sexy catgirl being silly and its not even kemonomimi it's just like a costume.

I'm seeing lots of recommendations for the same few video essayists so im gonna add some of my favs I haven't seen mentioned. Some people on this list don't frame their stuff as queer but that doesn't mean it lacks relevance to your queer education

What was up with Teen Wolf media in the 80's? What does it say about 80's ideas of gender and identity?

Why do private universities have so much money and what are they doing with it?

Euphoria could have been good, if only someone cared about the characters.

Part of 'Lexual Does the 80's', what women cared about, did, and faced, with a focus on black women.

Introduction into Alyson Stoner's research and reflections on the 'toddler to train wreck pipeline' child stars face.

Bama Rush is about power, its not gonna get diverse.

Anyone else watch Intelexual Media on YouTube?

She's fantastic. Makes videos about recent and less recent history and culture with a focus on sex, feminism and race, she's always fab and her content is really really interesting, informative and well produced, especially for a creator who seems to work (mostly?) solo.

She's done two series of videos focusing on specific decades with each having parts that focus on specific aspects of those decades she's tackling such as how each decade treated women or how it was for Black people, or how it was for children. She includes themes of sex history, food history, gender politics, politics in general, class difference, and more.

She started those with "Lexual does the 70s", she recently finished "Lexual does the 80s" and she'll be releasing "Lexual does the 90s" soon. They even have cute little retro intros to them according to each decade she's doing.

She even has some great true crime content, done tastefully.

Here are some of my favorite videos by her!

and this series that will save your life if you EVER wanted to understand how, in practical real life terms, the US government determines its spending in a totally intuitive ultra compelling visual way that explains so so so much about things that affect day to day life. Like ever wonder why your senator has weird stances that make no sense and insists on them and why no progressive policy seems to go forward? This is how:

I’m *that* cousin. 🥰🥧
