Black in the Middle

The Who, What, When, Where but we have no idea as to the Why. We say this often but it seems like it's still the same old shit, just a different group of people now suffering from unspeakable loss. You telling us nothing has changed in 23 years?

We’ll talk about the politicization that always happens, again, nothing has changed. Have you heard some of the ridiculous solutions being proposed by your elected officials? Yes, one door. Well we have some out of the box thinking for you today. 

Also, why is it always dudes? This is an episode talking about the things we should actually be talking about. And at the end of the day, at the very end of the day…we think it's just the culture. Tune in and stay tuned in. 

Over 3 seasons of recording has gotten us to Episode number 100 ya'll! The crew celebrates this accomplishment by reflecting on the body work created thus far. This episode unpacks the crew's favorites, fan favorites, those that didn't make the cut and episode topics of the future.

Oh yeah and we went live on Facebook for some strange reason. So there's that.

Enjoy!

It's an interesting game of cat and mouse.

On the heels of our last episode around Will smith; figured it would be a good time to expand on what the world witnessed:

It was confidence that allowed him to go on stage, but unpacking it gave off major vibes of insecurity.

Let’s go!

In lieu of the Will Smith (53) Chris Rock (57) slap heard round the world, we figured now would be a good time to answer the question “When is violence the answer?” In this episode the crew recaps what happened, weighs in on the choice of a slap versus a punch, talks about public humiliation, the effect on the Smith children and explores alternative remedies for this strange, jaw dropping situation.

What did Will Smith Reaffirm in the minds of “other races” with his actions? Did he effectively send a message for future jokes about his wife or do you think the most hilarious comedy special is in the works?

Would he have hit a white comedian? Female? Will said “Love will make you do crazy things”, but was that actually love that we witnessed?

Tune in for answers to these questions in more on the latest Black in the Middle Podcast episode. 

We live in an ever changing society and the evolution of sexual orientation and gender identity are two that always seem to rile the headlines. The crew decided to unpack this topic a bit on this latest episode and not only comment on what we have seen thus far in sports and media but also predict what we may see in the near future.

This episode is about when Racism...and all the other ism’s...take a back seat to the atrocities and turmoil that is going on in the world.
