Salutations to our longstanding AFROnerdist listenership! It’s that time AGAIN! Check out the latest episode of Afronerd Radio’s Mid Week in Review internet show airing this Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on the BTalk 100 platform. Your highly favored AFROnerdist hosts will be waxing about the following issues: somehow we overlooked a major caveat attached to the He-Man animated Netflix reboot but purportedly there will be a racial swap with the character and as expected longtime fans are none too pleased; in the wake of the European Championship football finals, it appears that Black UK players are experiencing an uptick in racial animus from alleged fans on social media;
rising star and fan-favorite graphic novel illustrator, Robson Rocha passes at 41 from COVID-19; the highly anticipated Marvel Studios’ Black Widow movie finally premiered-post pandemic-to very respectable box office receipts and we give you our impressions; late astrophysicist and original Cosmos host, Carl Sagan had some pretty insightful things to say about race and Star Wars in a revisited viral ’78 interview as a guest on Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show: Hat tip goes to long-time Afronerd Radio supporter, Sergio Mims for pointing our team toward a black historical anecdote regarding a national spelling bee champion during the early 20th century which allows us to connect that story to the more recent case of Zaila Avant-garde
We need to talk about Critical Race Theory if time permits….what (and why) is it being discussed as an educational tool? And more importantly, why the controversy? And lastly, it looks like San Diego Comic-Con is making another virtual return for 2021.
