Hey, good people! Dburt is still on his Wakandan workout plan so stay tuned for a shortened yet always fiery broadcast. Check out the latest episode of Afronerd Radio'sMid Week in Reviewairing every Wednesday at 7:30pm EST. Listen to your hosts, Dburt and Capt. Kirk as they discuss the following issues: although we are about 8 months shy of the premiere of Marvel's highly anticipated Black Panther film, could it be sabotaged by Black and White naysayers (it's too Black,,,,,the character was created by White men....it's a boon for "dark skin" representation....dark skin black women are not being portrayed as feminine.....whew); tennis great, John McEnroe critques Serena Williams by asserting that she might not be as great (ranking 700?) if she were competing with men; a picture of Washington, DC teens in handcuffs goes viral because they were purportedly arrested for selling water (what!); we finally pick up where we left off with director, Sofia Coppola's obfuscation of slavery (and the deletion of a specific African enslaved character) from her heavily lauded remake of The Beguiled; And lastly, Dburt (as expected) has a problem with James Davis' new Comedy Central series entitled Hood Adjacent. Dburt ponders why ghettocentricism remains the sole definer if not, authenticator for true "Black" style and culture. Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.
