Man....is time flying fast! It's Wednesday already and therefore, it's time for you to set your clocks for the latest installment of Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review, thanks to our new platform at BTalk 100. The topics up for discussion this (mid) week are: current polling data asserts that the new Black Lives Matter movement is more popular than POTUS (and truth be told, its more popular than many things) and this is not sitting well with FOX News pundit, Tucker Carlson; and in a rather mysterious manner, post the George Floyd protests/riots, there has been an uptick in hangings (suicide vs millennial lynchings?); and in further in BLM related news, Black Hollywood is starting to open up with personal tales of racism, discrimination and apathy all while attempting to garner a foothold within the industry; and speaking of blacks in Tinseltown, Flash actress, Candice Patton advocates for black women on the CW as the network commits to blocking racist, misogynistic and homophobic remarks on social pages; legendary actor/rapper, Will Smith may be doing a slave themed movie entitled, Emancipation (with a black director) after all, when he purportedly nixed the role that eventually went to Jamie Foxx in Django; shock jock and radio industry icon, Howard Stern answers critics regarding his now problematic past pertaining to race humor and blackface; Long Island, NY's famed Nassau Coliseum, home of the Islanders hockey team has indefinitely closed its doors pending its billionaire owner's ability to garner investors; singers Alicia Keys and John Legend face off against each other for a special Juneteenth edition of Instagram Verzuz; and speaking of Juneteenth, also referred to as Freedom Day, is it possible that it might be tracking toward becoming a national holiday? a young black doctor may be getting his Congressional closeup as a Democrat in a largely Republican stronghold in Virginia; And lastly our thoughts about President Trump's proposed Tulsa "race speech" which has since been moved to the day after Juneteenth (whew). Call in LIVE at 508-645-0100.
OH...and we hopefully, will address some issues we failed to get to during this past Monday's Grindhouse!
