56: simply... a shift in statistics

Before anything, I share my support for Ukraine and the innocent people of Russia; like millions of other people in the world right now, I'm scared. For the meat of this episode, I wanted to end Black History Month (though Black history never ends) by sharing a few statistics about Black people, recognizing the shift in Black culture, & discussing people capitalizing on Black History Month/Black Lives Matter since the death of George Floyd.
