from Afronerd Radio · host Afronerd Radio
What's up, folks! Let's try to be terse this time, shall we? Join your hosts (Dburt, Capt. Kirk and the Grindhouse's Daryll B.) for the latest episode of Afronerd Radio'sMid Week in Review (MWIR)-airing this Wednesday at 7pm ET. The topics to be "hashed out" this (mid) week are: veteran sports writer, Peter Vecsey reportedly quotes a Notorious B.I.G. song inadvertanty using a racial slur to comment on a Lebron James-NY Knicks kerfuffle; noted Atlantic writer, Ta-nehisi Coates had some recent thoughts about many Whites' desire to use the n-word (like the preceding topic); the battle continues for the Alabama Senate seat in the midst of the Republican candidate, Roy Moore being levied with child molestation allegations; and now a transgender woman professes to be "transracial" as well. Can we agree that transracialism is a "thing?"; a Georgia networking event wants to help white people "Come Meet a Black Person" (ok...this was the brainchild of Black owned Urban MediaMakers). And lastly, picking up from Sunday's Grindhouse-a recent The Root article waxes about the erasure of Blacks and POC from the sci-fi and fantasy genre. Call in LIVE at 646-915-9620.
