A special and uncomfortable episode sharing my many mistakes and misconceptions regarding Black Lives Matter. 
This episode includes:

- Taboo and uncomfortable questions and topics 
- Why has it taken me so long to speak up? 
- Why we shouldn't ask our Black friends to help us feel more comfortable 
- Should we use the term African American or Black? 
- How to deal with haters on social media 
- Where do we get our news and can we trust it? 
- Is kneeling during the national anthem disrespectful?
- Is this just a passing trend? 
- Are celebs donating money to encourage violence and riots? 
- Is everyone happy to see police officers taking a knee?
What other questions do you have? I'm happy to ask for us and you can remain anonymous - email is [email protected]. Thank you, my friends and cheers to better times ahead.
