If We're On The Brink of a Civil War 2, Can We Blexit Stage Right? MWIR@7:30pm
from Afronerd Radio · host Afronerd Radio
I think this epsiode may go down in the record books, folks! Join Dburt and Capt. Kirk as they discuss the latest goings ons from last week regarding what may appear to be a country on the brink of a type of racial Civil War. Hopefully any notions of perpetual societal unrest is just hyperbole, but we aim to lend our special analytical skills to wax about the following concerns: two back to back high profile and questionable Black male deaths at the hands of the police in Baton Rouge (LA) and Falcon Heights (MN) of Messrs. Alton Sterling and Philando Castile appear to have pricipated the indiscrimate deaths of 5 Dallas police officers in an act of retaliation; the media punditry are taking sides with educators, politicos and media personalities (Drs. Marc lamont Hill and John McWhorter; Rudy Guiliani; Sarah Palin, etc), vying for prominance and viewership (and advertsing dollars).; Dburt goes further with the idea of a Blexit (Black Exit) which, of course, spritually references the UK's recent referendum and subsequent Brexit.
