310 - Azeem Rafiq, Rittenhouse's dramatics, MBEs and micro aggressions & mental health

Black in a Box

How do you solve a problem like institutional racism? Deny, deny, deny then reaccuse if the Azeem Rafiq Yorkshire County Cricket club experience is anything to go by. The team got together for Series 3 Episode 10 to discuss the mishandling of the scandal, what constitutes “banter” and whether things will change from here. The performative tears of American teen shooter Kyle Rittenhouse at his trial are also on the agenda. We tackle the selective weaponsation of both age and white remorse in America as Angelo makes the argument that America needs Rittenhouse to walk free. Marcus Rashford picked up his MBE and Barbados was taking back control of its head of state duties from Britain’s monarchy. Which if us would take a royal honour? Finally we look at Netflix series Colin in Black and White and the impact of microaggressions on your mental health as a minority. Like. Share. Subscribe.
