Ep.83 - Little Britain, Black Women & Lockdown Easing
On Ep.83 of WG: Should shows like "Little Britain" be sent to the Shadow Realm? Black men still can't listen to black women properly; The NBA is coming back and I'm on the fence. And lockdown in England is being eased more.
In a week where:
- Trump hosts "Cough-chella"
- Three people die & another three suffer injuries after a mass stabbing terror attack in Reading.
- Lewis Hamilton is starting a commission w/The Royal Academy of Engineering.
- Novak Djokovic tests positive for COVID-19, after months of hosting charity events and not staying inside.
- More than 300 black artists/executives call for Hollywood to invest more in black talent & stop glorifying police violence.
In Film/TV: (7:52) Historian David Olusoga talks "Little Britain" which has recently been cut off streaming platforms for its backwards comedy. But the story goes deeper than you think.
In Music: (23:06) There have been a few events that have gone down in the past week that have got me thinking about how black men talk to black women. First was J.Cole's super odd & tone-deaf "Snow On The Bluff" which was directed to vocal learner Noname. The 2nd and more important event was between Ray BLK & Ambush Buzzworl. There are levels to this, but the overall theme is that we still don't listen to black women properly.
In Sports: (39:53) The NBA is returning, all located in Orlando, in a "Bubble" format. While I understand the wanting to do all this, I can't turn my head completely away from basic logic.
Lastly, in Life: (51:33) On July 4th, England (Not the rest of the UK) is opening up more to include Pubs, Restaurants, hairdressers etc. Why? Why do you think?
Thank you for listening! If you want to contribute to the show, whether it be sending me questions or voicing your opinion in any way, peep the contact links below and I'll respond accordingly. Let me know "What's Good?"
