103: "The Snowball Effect of F*ckery"

The Wakanda Social Club Presents — Black Guys in a Box. Because you asked for more, in our second full meet up we gon' give you MOAR! We dance through topics like some Charleston/Crip Walk hybrid - they shouldn't go together but we make it work - starting with a look back at our most recent offering of essays (06:18). Kofi opens a Pokéball of issues as he recounts some troubling moments when watching Pokémon as yute and reading Enid Blyton books (13:14). Can Prince Archie unite the Kingdom in a way Daenerys failed to do so? We have the answers, kinda, at (22:00). With the untimely passing of Director and Screenwriter John Singleton, we take a moment to reflect on our first encounters of his work and it's legacy (33:55). In the case of Olympic Gold Medallist Caster Semenya, the recent treatment by the IAAF seems like the work of internet trolls, but is actually paid professionals. Join us on a deep dive discussion through her case (36:15) and seamlessly (if i do say so myself) into the recent abortion rulings in Alabama and Northern Ireland (59:46). Still with us? Good. Because we didn't think we've touched on enough sensitive topics, we round this episode off with a chat about mental health (01:08:11). Honestly it's one of the best chats we've had, probably about two years in the making and here we are, sharing it with you! And as per usual, we close with our regular feature — “What song would you _____ to?” (01:51:16) — this time it’s "What song would you cheer up and set a good vibe to?"
