Not for Black People...
I’m not sure what the point of this is. I was hoping for in depth discussion on the issues surrounding the pandemic with statistical evidence and historic references to the systemic racist infrastructures that enable Covid to impact black communities more severely. What I got was an episode that summarized recent events in overdrawn out comedic monologues and lengthy metaphors of supremacy being ingrained in white people like martial arts. These events, such as Ahmad and Christian Cooper and their run ins with white supremacist murderers and Karen’s, have already been discussed (with comedic relief where appropriate) ad nauseam by every black online blog and with more poignant analysis. This episode lacks direction and focus — there’s no definitive subject matter he is discussing other than being black during Covid, and this subject matter is a bit too broad to make for a meaningful show. If you’ve been living under a rock and hadn’t heard of these events, and/or you have an elementary level understanding of how race and the racist structures of this country impact black people particularly during a pandemic, this might be a good start for you. Otherwise, if you’re already black and even the tiniest bit educated on your history, this is a major waste of time with corny jokes.

Keep up the great work.I’m really hoping to be an ally, and this podcast is helping me to be aware of what’s going on. Language that is used such as yay tall and yay big is easy for me to relate to, even though some of the topics are outside of my personal experience.

This podcast has really opened my eyes. I have always considered that I see and treat all people equally. I now realise that by standing idly by I am complicit in this.

I've been listening to NPR and Seattle Public Radio to get my news. WHAM opened my eyes to the rest of the story.Read full review »
