Is Black Culture Upside Down: From George Floyd To Bill Cosby?

from Mental Dialogue

Our special guest is cultural critic, SEAN SHEWMAKE aka TOMMY BOTTOMS as we discuss this significant shift in BLACK CULTURE. A year ago, during the PANDEMIC the GEORGE FLOYD murder took place in front of our eyes and the MILLENNIALS took to the streets like the 1960s to battle the COPS and made the whole world take notice. Did their actions lead to significant changes in POLICE REFORM, or was the DEREK CHAUVIN verdict the end?  Recently BILL COSBY was released from prison due to the COURTS failure to provide him due process in his RAPE case. COSBY's released sparked controversy within the BLACK COMMUNITY because some felt his release was vindication for not only him, but against America's RACIST judicial systems that has falsely imprison plenty of BLACK MEN in the past.  While others felt significant disdain after COSBY'S release because they see him as a rapist being let go because of a technicality; and BLACK CANCEL CULTURE openly went after any of his supporters to include actress PHYLICIA RASHAD. How has BLACK CULTURE change to the point of supporting celebrities such as rapper DMX, no matter their history versus canceling other BLACKS for publicly saying something against the culture, no matter their history of supporting the culture?  MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's Afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
