MK238: 5th Anniversary Partay! (8 Can't Wait, Black Trans Lives Matter, SCOTUS Decision, Da 5 Bloods, Elmo, Silent Solidarity)

Like a rash that we like Nnekay is back, ready to take us through Tangentown. So much has happened since she last visited, so we check in with her, and how she is dealing, handling, processing with all the civil unrest. We take issue with folks expressing “silent” solidarity. The definition of racism is finally being updated by Miriam Webster. Black Trans Lives Matter protests erupted around the country in mass, and we also try to remember how to celebrate good news with the recent Supreme Court ruling. Nnekay has issues with Elmo. James saw the latest Spike Lee joint DA 5 Bloods on Netflix, which opens up a conversation about Black veterans, and the legacy of Spike Lee. In the main event we kick it up a notch in our actions you can take on police reform with 8 Can't Wait- 8 things you can make sure are in place in your city now to help end police violence on it’s citizens.

MK230: This Too Shall Pass- Thanks P. Diddy! (Georgia, #BlackAF, Murder Hornets, Mrs. America, Cold Civil War,Black Businesses, Hercules, P. Diddy, Janelle Monae, Life in Quarantine)

Nnekay is back in part one of an EPIC two part Minority Konrer. We catch up about navigating life through a Pandemic! If you’re stressed don’t worry P Diddy's got your back to relax! So something else to worry about: Murder Hornets! Nnekay let’s us know just how scared we should be, which is apparently not at all. We talk about areas that have been hit hard by COVID19 like nursing homes, and the meat packing industry and how it looks like we might be in a Cold Civil War. With Georgia reopening it puts Black business owners in a catch 20/20 especially those who own barber shops and businesses with 80% of the deaths in Georgia being Black! And is all of this happening for humanity’s second chance? Lots of great new TV shows/Movies on the way, some new Disney reboots to have mixed emotions about, don’t worry it’s not Pocahontas.. yet. Amazon’s Homecoming is coming back, Nnekay takes on one of our favorite artists acting ability. And we examine Kenya Barris and his new Netflix show #BlackAF, and the hard hitting FX/Hulu show Mrs. America which tackles the event surrounding the Equal Rights Amendment. Dance with James every Saturday at 2pm PST on Zoom!

Glitter Bombs of Truth (Rep Illhan Ohmar, Jay-Z & the NFL, Sex in the Stacks, Missy Elliot, Dreams of Beyonce)

The Wonder Twins are back- no more voicemail messages they are talking person to person! Missy Elliot may have been celebrated at the VMAs (a little too late) but Nnekay noticed a huge problem with her performance... a certain R&B princess was missing. Is James really friends with Beyonce & Jay-Z? Or was it a dream? Speaking of Jay-Z sure did step in it this week. Jay-Z Mr. Got Colin Kapernick's back on take a knee, seems to have flipped the script and aligned himself with the NFL. Is he shcukin' and jivin, or jumping into the arena? The twins discuss. James seems to have come back from Europe more able to see both sides to everything. Does Nnekay get her comedic writing from her dreams? In the main event Nnekay stops the rumor mill for Representative Illhan Omar. Nnekay breaks down her heroic story, truly representing the American Dream, and the work she's done, and what she's been up against. In a new segment called "James Asks a Question" he poses to our friendly neighborhood librarian his burning question over the last few weeks: Sex in the stacks? Fact or fiction based on the latest season of 'Dear White People'. Also please watch the Great Hack on Netflix if you haven't! https://www.colorlines.com/articles/rep-ilhan-omar-claps-back-alabama-gop https://omar.house.gov/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilhan_Omar https://web.archive.org/web/20161114004716/http://www.aaiusa.org/from_refugee_to_st_house_race_ilhan_omar_looks_to_break_new_ground Twitter: @minoritykorner Ask Minority Korner Anything: minoritykorner@gmail.com Like Us On Facebook: Minority Korner

MK 312: Lil Nas X Saves the Day (Simone Biles, Scar Jo vs. Disney, Womens Sports Outfits, Ed Buck & Murder of Black Queer Men, Lil Nas X vs DaBaby, Homophobia in Hip Hop)

Samantha Nzessi is back - which is good because we need to break down all this sexism that is raging in our faces. From the outfits they make women wear in sports, to letting Simone Biles take care of her mental health to do what she needs to do, and in the entertainment world Scar Jo vs. Disney. In the main korner it is a news story that is the blend of classism and privilege, and racism and homophobia all intersecting in the conviction of Ed Buck murderer of Queer Black men. Samantha as usual sends us through a deep dive of the fuckery of Hip-Hop, which we love, but need to callout and this time it’s DeBaby and his comments and views of our beloved Lil Nas X who is challenging us all of our own fears and insecurities. GUEST CO-HOST: Samantha Nzessi is a third-culture linguaphile who cohosts MASKulinity Podcast, a show that’s now part of a healthy masculinities podcast network hosted by NextGenMen.
