Kirk as they discuss the following issues: in a designated "Blue Area" moment, Georgetown University causes a stir by affirming "reparations" in the form of priority enrollment for the descendants of slaves that the prominent institution sold in 1838; actress, Lena Dunham (Girls) apologizes to NY Giants wide receiver, Odell Beckham Jr. for a "conversation" that never took place (hint: Mr. Robot may be her inspiration); our impressions of the reportedly ground breaking FX series, Atlanta, starring the blerd of the moment, Donald Glover; violence strikes the infamous Brooklyn Carribean Day Parade (shocker!) with two young unintended victims-will these deaths finally call an end to one of New York's most celebrated cultural events?; we finally address the Trump vs Clinton battle for the Black vote and no matter who wins, POC lose!; And lastly, Dburt theorizes that whatever envy some may have for un/undereducated (but wealthy) entertainers like Beyonce, the lack of cogitation might be a health hazard rivaling cancer.
