#BlackLivesMatter

Let’s be honest, the past two weeks have been very distressing and turbulent. While we hope you are good, we know the trauma and pain felt by all is very real right now and most of aren’t. #GeorgeFloyd should not have to be a hashtag. #Blacklivesmatter should not have to be a hashtag. #Stopkillingus should not have to be a hashtag. But because of the racism, oppression and hatred that underpins our society, systems and the ideologies of this world, these hashtags must exist. We love being a form of escapism and providing a getaway from real life for our listeners, but as three Black men the hurt, pain and anger within us builds with every body that becomes a hashtag. For this reason, this episode isn’t our usual length. It is not our usual tone. But this not a usual time. We’ve never claimed to have the answers and right now, more than ever, we simply do not. To say we understand the ‘whys’ and the ‘hows’ or even the ‘whats’ would be a lie. But we are still here, moving, ready to share our dialogue with you and, as ever, welcoming questions and comments. #BlackLivesMatter
