  • Don’t Touch That Black Man!
    2024/06/11

    This week, we dive into the disturbing assault of a Black superintendent by a White parent at a small Wisconsin graduation ceremony. How prevalent is this kind of racism still?

Was this an egregious snub or fair decision? Finally, Shaun gives his quick (and very late) take on the Academy Award nominated racial satire American Fiction - was it biting social commentary or did it miss the mark? Might include a spoiler alert (or two). All that and more on this week's packed episode. Tap-in!
