The Other Pandemic: The Viral Spread of Racism in America
This week, democracy-ish hosts Danielle and Toure are more triggered than usual, which is saying a lot.
Just weeks after we learned of the brutal murder of Ahmaud Arbery, we’re faced with two more viral videos that expose just how dangerous, and deadly, being Black in America can be.
-
Christian Cooper was birding while Black in Central Park when he asked a white woman to leash her dog. What happened next was an epic Karen meltdown.
-
The brutal killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police has sparked outrage across America.
-
Police meet ‘rioters’ in Minneapolis with tear gas, rubber bullets and multiple arrests, while armed white MAGAts storm state capitols with no fear of reprisal.
-
Joe Biden got a little too comfortable with Charlemagne and said something stupid. But when the president says dumb shit every day, do we care?
