Colin Kaepernick Netflix Slavery Controversy, Trans Activist Gets Canceled, Should Social Media Be Policed?

Episode Summary

We kept you all fed this week. This episode gets into a lot of tough conversations and different perspectives. First we discuss further backlash surrounding Dave Chappelle’s standup special and the trans activist who led the Netflix walkout. She made racist comments in the past and is being targeted now. Can people change and can someone with a racist past now be an advocate for marginalized people? We also discuss the new Colin Kaepernick Netflix series and the comparisons made regarding slavery and the NFL combine. Do you see the parallels or is this a reach? Another topic we cover is social media laws and whether online bullying should lead to criminal charges? Is this a step too far? We end with a discussion about the fatal shooting on the set of the film 'Rust'. As always we have some things to get off our chest! Let us know what you think, talk back to the show !
