“And Then What?!” w/ Shane MF

The Four Flats Podcast

In Episode 45, Darian and JaCorey are joined back by Shane Ferrier to discuss the state of black America following all of the protests and arrest from the George Floyd tragedy. All four officers have now been arrested in the case, along with all three racists who lynched Ahmaud Arbery, so the guys give their opinions and solutions on how we should react to the outcome of both cases. Being in the military, Shane shares some insight on just what we should expect to come from Trump planning to deploy the armed forces into the streets of America, and how we have no clue of what it will take to adapt. Police reform seems to be the topic of the moment and the team urges those eager for their dismantling to think of actual solutions for reform as well as offer some ideas for attainable, immediate change. Many people are waiting on the next step in liberation to be enacted, so the fellas speak of how we can become more proactive in our neighborhoods and community to galvanize us through legislation. Drew Brees had some disappointing comments in regards to protesting and the flag and the gang didn’t hold back on their distaste. Separation or fight to the end? The Flats have a honest conversation as to whether it would be more suitable to fight for change through the Constitution or take our resources and create our own land separate from America. Lastly, the guys discuss just what it takes to make voting, buying black, investing black, and being socially conscious cool again. Tune in to Episode 45! (@Gullyveli) (@jacoreycwalker) (@shane_mf7)
