Saluations, crumpets and cornbread to all the known (and unknown) supporters of the Afronerd radio and Afronerd.com machine!  Welcome to the latest episode of The Mid Week in Review, courtesy of Afronerd Radio airing this Wednesday at 7:30pm EST.  Join your hosts Dburt and Capt. Kirk as they shed some light on the following issues:  just what are the distinctions between classic minstrelsy and 21st century-"neo" coonery?  Think..Pigmeat Markham vs. Rich Homie Quan! ; more court record revelations dating back to '05 relating to Bill Cosby rape allegations; a recent Harvard Business Review piece posits that the internet makes people think that they're smarter than they actually are (think "prosthesis"}; Dburt laments the apparent dimness of certain high profile monied individuals (i.e. athletes Floyd Mayweather and Jason Pierre-Paul);  according to an article from the folks at The Root, there's a brewing argument that makes a comparison between the n-word perjorative and the Confederate flag as means of defense for both of their existence.  And lastly, Dburt is bewildered that there is evidence that Afronerd-ism is spreading......maybe.  Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.
