Cheers, people! Let’s get to it with the swiftness. Listen to the latest installment of Afronerd Radio’s Mid Week in Review airing this Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on the BTalk 100 platform. The topics to be discussed by your competent AFROnerdist hosts are as follows: the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has arrived but not without controversy. The current magazine is sporting three separate covers featuring tennis champion, Naomi Osaka; rapper, Megan Thee Stallion, and model/actor, Lenya Bloom, the first transgender person to share the feature spot….we give our thoughts; Marvel’s long-awaited and highly anticipated film, Black Widow entered its second week of release with a precipitous drop in revenue and now the speculators are wondering why did it happen and, does this spell trouble for Disney’s decade-plus commercial streak?; something we failed to address during Sunday’s Grindhouse show, must be addressed-the finances of our favorite comic creators. the daughter of noted graphic novelist, Alan Moore explains and defends her father concerning his consistent critique of the comic industry’s long-standing failure to pay writers fairly for their IPs that have gone on to become billion-dollar franchises;
Dburt has some thoughts about a recent commentary by recent guest, Dr. T. Hasan Johnson concerning the not-so-subtle obfuscation of Black men and their accomplishments by mainstream media; Didn’t we just dissect the UK racism story involving vitriol spewed toward black British football players? Well let’s fast forward to the hatred foisted upon Formula One racing great, Lewis Hamilton, who received online racist barbs after he won the British Grand Prix; Lastly, educator/progressive pundit and resident blerd, Dr. Jason Johnson has some rather interesting “black lens” thoughts pertaining to Disney +’s Loki finale.
One thing that Dburt is doing (finally) is investing in cryptocurrency, courtesy of Roundlyx. We would implore our followers to investigate, discern and then explore by using our referral code: afro-87A4BF
