Colin Kaepernick and Accepting the Message But Not The Messenger

Colin Kaepernick and Accepting the Message But Not The Messenger

Four years later and the NFL has yet to offer Colin Kaepernick anything other than a late apology. But we dive in on why that actually might be a good thing for Kaep, along with the similarities between his fight and Muhammad Ali's. Speaking of police reform and social injustices, was that settlement for the family of Breonna Taylor fair? And this isn't in the show, but remains a QTNA: Who had the job of taking that Grammy out of the toilet at Kanye's house??

Steve Nash and White Privilege

Steve Nash and White Privilege

In case 2020 hasn't caused enough confusion, Steve Nash just walked in off of the street to become Head Coach of the Brooklyn Nets. Nash acknowledged reaping the benefits of white privilege (put that somewhere in a history book), but also made sure everyone put some respect on his name as a two-time NBA MVP. (22:00) Then if that wasn't enough to digest,  we interview ex-con turned higher education staffer, Alexander DeVeau, for a deeper understanding of how white privilege really manifests itself.

Chadwick Boseman: A Life with Purpose

Chadwick Boseman: A Life with Purpose

It's still Wakanda Forever, so this week we're grieving and celebrating together as a family in homage to the late, great, Chadwick Boseman. Questioning what a real-life superhero might be and trying our best to handle the loss of an actor who is equally, if not far more impressive of a man than the groundbreaking character he played. (34:45) And because police refuse to stop shooting unarmed Black people, we get into Jacob Blake and mortality in 2020.

Despite being a little late this week, we still promise to deliver new episodes of The For Real For Real Podcast every Monday, but follow us on the 'gram or Twitter @FRFRthePodcast to keep up with us in the meantime

9. Iron Man?: Genetics & Healthcare in the Black Community

9. Iron Man?: Genetics & Healthcare in the Black Community

Sometimes real life happens and we had to get real with y'all about what's been going on. But what we intended as a quick update on health statuses turned into a larger discussion on finding reliable healthcare, pre-disposed conditions, and medical malpractice. We're not experts on any of these subjects and hope this episode isn't nearly as boring for you as the description might sound, but we can't make any promises *Jordan shrug*.
