“Sadly, I’m just done with the show. I’ve listened for years, but have just unsubscribed. I just can’t handle Mark Bernardin’s toxicity and racial bias anymore. And it’s rubbing off on Kevin too. The latest Batman show I went into with gusto, having loved the film; it having done what we’ve been wanting for years, only to have Mark crap on it. And he missed so many points of the film about which he was complaining. I think he only casually watched it, like he seems to do so much, and read other people’s negative reviews. I’m sure he’s a fine writer, but he is also so biased (racially) when it comes to reviews. Jordan Peele is a “genius”, despite having written and directed one of the worst written films of all time (seriously, no hyperbole) (“Us”). He gives latitude to black creators constantly simply on race. I love Kevin. Can listen to him for hours… and I have. I do. But I don’t want to continue to be brought down with an inattentive audience review and white guilt imposition. There’s enough negative in the world without subjecting myself to it regularly. I will continue to listen to Babylon, cause i do love Smith. I just wish he would ditch Mark before the toxicity permeates through him as well.”
