Episode 97: An After School Special With Slurs

Well, it’s that time once again everyone. That’s right, we’re gonna get little political on DCOMedy this month. Because we have got a spirited discussion all about The Color of Friendship, which dared to teach kids about why Apartheid was wrong. And we are definitely the perfect people to unpack that! In all seriousness, We’ve gotten used to the rare DCOM that really has something to say and doesn’t shy away from the harsh truths of its message. So we thought we knew what to expect! We did not expect all the slurs though. So…yeah. Oh, wait. Should I say content warning for racism? I mean that’s kind of the whole point so I think it kind of goes without saying. But just in case: FYI, there’s a lot of racism on display with this one.
