Episode 37: White Privilege, The Border Conflict, & The REAL America

from Blake's Takes

In wake multiple events of various levels of seriousness that all tie into it, we decided to talk all about white privilege (yes, it exists) this episode. From Laura Loomer's temper tantrum at Twitter HQ, to the lady who named her kid 'Abcde' and cried on social media when she was mocked, to Americans who supposedly care about people and follow religions that dictate to do so being OK with the tear gassing of children at the border, we tackled it all. We pivoted off that topic to dive into the horrifying history of this supposedly great country and examined whether or not the atrocities at the border represent the REAL America.We also touched on where the line for free speech should be drawn as far as dictating what is hate speech, social media platforms aiding in the battle against the extremists on the right, the irony of Americans fearing there are "terrorists and criminals" in the caravan when most terror acts in the US are committed by domestic white terrorists, and more!
