Episode 87: Sha’Carri Richardson and the Policing of Black Self-Expression
Available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio.
In this episode, we discuss Olympic sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson and the sexist and classist overtones in the reactions to her means of self expression. We also discuss the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and their decision to draft a formal statement that would give individual bishops the ability to prevent pro-choice Catholic politicians from receiving the Eucharist, the irony of the Senate’s inability to pass the “For the People Act” after voting to make Juneteenth a Federal holiday, Nick Cannon’s rapidly increasing number of children, and as promised, we give our review of ‘In the Heights.’
