Hey, Hey, Hey, It's Afronerd-Mid-Week in Review time, folks!  Join Captain Kirk and Dburt this Wednesday at 7pm to discuss the latest "goings ons" in pop culture, science, sci-fi and politics, courtesy of Afronerd Radio.  The topics to be unraveled this week are:  Dburt calls in to Sirius-XM's Cocoa Mode show to discuss the DC Capitol shooting death of Miriam Carey; TheRoot.com posits that racism may be the cause for mental duress as it relates to African-Americans (....are the stats confirming that thesis?....hmm); Cleveland Indian fans show their support in "redface" make up.....really? And President Obama weighs in on the Washington Redskins' Native American mascot issues;  more on the government shutdown.....how long can we expect it to continue?; and lastly, legendary actor, Kirk Douglas, ponders what we here at Afronerd Radio have also considered-has technology replaced thinking?  Call in live at 646-915-9620.  See you all at 7pm sharp!
