Greetings with a skosh of Good Tidings to our ever expanding audience. Keeping matters aphoristic, remember to listen to our latest episode of Afronerd Radio'sMid Week in Review (MWR), airing this Wednesday at 7:30pm EST. The issues up for analysis are: our impressions of not only Chris Rock and his hosting of this years Oscars but also the "counter" charity show simply known as #JusticeForFlint hosted by directors Ava Duvernay and Ryan Coogler; controversial Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump appears to have amnesia relating to former Klansman, David Duke and by extension who (what) are the White supremacists; picking up where we left off regarding MSNBC's Dr. Melissa Harris Perry walking off of her Nerdland show due to what she saw as implausible pre-emptions; a HBCU graduate started her own beer brand called The Harlem Brewing Company and what was once a hobby has expanded into 39 local NY Wal-marts; another "leftover" topic we failed to address-a NY Mag article places focus on a recent study affirming that Whites get better sleep than minorities which of course has health implications. And lastly, a NY TImes piece highlights struggling Afrocentric charter schools relating to difficulties with balancing pride with standardized testing goals. Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620. All men have limits. The learn what they are and learn not to exceed them. I ignore mine. Bruce Wayne, Batman
