On this episode of the Gap, Tammy and Althea connect the recent Oprah interview with Meghan Markle to false hit-and-run allegations against Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty. The Oregonian ran a story that Hardesty was a suspect in a hit and run, but the connection was based on racial profiling and leaked by the Portland Police Bureau to Hardesty's adversaries to make her look bad. Anti-Blackness colors the narratives that both Hardesty and Markle faced in the media, making false stories seem believable. 

Then, we go to a Tik Tok Watch, to learn about the Millennial vs. Gen Z war happening on the clock app, and ask our listeners, when was the first time you experienced a generational gap?
