We’re black at it again, loyal AFROnerdists! Pull up a seat and check out a new installment of Afronerd Radio’s Mid Week in Review airing this Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on BTalk 100. Join your highly favored AFROnerdist hosts as they dissect the following issues: yet another U.S. shooting massacre but this time it appears that Asian-American communities are being targeted; legendary actor and Bond villain, Yaphet Kotto (Alien, Live and Let Die) passes at 81; notable music manager and media personality, Sharon Osbourne has gotten caught in a racial glue trap after defending her friend, journalist, Piers Morgan from his racial kerfuffle. It appears that Osbourne has made some racially insensitive remarks in her timeline as well; thoughts about what to expect from Zack Snyder’s Justice League as the 3/18 premiere date approaches and non-spoiler reviews are coming in;
Just when Dburt was waxing about the conundrum concerning the “blackfishing” phenomenon, now race-fishing is a thing too. Your next book purchase with the black protagonist on the cover may not have anything to do with its contents; Marvel introduces its LGBTQ version of Captain America for a new generation of readers; and now DC’s Hourman is getting his closeup via a just-announced movie adaptation; And lastly, transgender actor, Elliot Page (formerly Ellen Page) makes it to the cover of Time Magazine but what does his transition spell for the next season of Netflix’ Umbrella Academy?
Oh…and P.S. What about the growing debate over the Grammys? Specifically, rapper, Lil Baby’s anti-police brutality performance that some critics are deeming to be exploitative. Even some activists are being labeled grifters from Black death….hmm.
