Special: My Mistakes and Misconceptions re. Black Lives Matter Whiskey with Jackie James

    • Society & Culture

A special and uncomfortable episode sharing my many mistakes and misconceptions regarding Black Lives Matter. 
This episode includes: 
- Black Lives Matter vs. All Lives Matter / Blue Lives Matter 
- Taboo and uncomfortable questions and topics 
- Why has it taken me so long to speak up? 
- Why we shouldn't ask our Black friends to help us feel more comfortable 
- Should we use the term African American or Black? 
- How to deal with haters on social media 
- Where do we get our news and can we trust it? 
- Is kneeling during the national anthem disrespectful?
- Is this just a passing trend? 
- Are celebs donating money to encourage violence and riots? 
- Is everyone happy to see police officers taking a knee?
What other questions do you have? I'm happy to ask for us and you can remain anonymous - email is jackie@jackiejames.com. Thank you, my friends and cheers to better times ahead.
Special thanks to my friends and teachers Richard Farley (https://www.instagram.com/richardfarleyjr/) and Jesse Golden (https://www.instagram.com/jessegolden/) and to Chris Rock (https://www.instagram.com/chrisrock/) and Michael Che (http://www.michaelche.com/) for their comedy gold and thank you to Nate Boyer (https://www.instagram.com/nateboyer37/) for educating us via Richard Farley on what taking a knee actually means.
