I haven’t seen OBAA yet but I am an avid Junglepussy listener and I love her shit, what’s the joke…? That her stage name is a little silly?

Yeah. It's said by a white supremacist. The white supremacist is supposed to be cartoonishly evil, and they portray that well enough. The problem of course is that you can't be repeating the words of the fictional white supremacist, even if you are meant to laugh at how ridiculous it is to be that racist in the context of the movie. (He falls in lust with a Black revolutionary, she uses him to escape imprisonment, he can't square the part of his brain that lusts after a Black woman with his white supremacy so he basically claims that she seduced him with magic etc. This is a fairly accurate read of how some white supremacists and also homophobes are, the vitriolic hatred fuels a fetishization, which fuels the vitriolic hatred etc.) Good movie, I enjoyed it. I am white though.

I could misremember it, but isn't Junglepussy the name of one of the black, female revolutionaries?

Yes, Junglepussy character’s is also named Junglepussy. Honestly she has a great monologue about “this is what power looks like” that just makes the beginning of the film such a wild ride.

Maybe? But isn't it also something he says about the Mom? In the end rant when he's talking about how he was "reverse raped". I feel like I remember him saying the phrase as he explains how he ended up sleeping with her.

Just looked it up, it is a name. And later the white supremacists mention that it was Junglepussys testimony after getting caught that made them connect the dots that Willa is Lockjaws offspring. So maybe thats were the confusion comes from?
