Episode 44 -- PRINCIN' AIN'T EASY

Bruthas N Law

For the first episode of 2020, the Bruthas talk about the current crisis in public housing, at which J Hamilton McCoy is at the forefront, fighting for the rights of the people. The Bruthas also discuss the recent departure of Cory Booker, the last surviving person of color, from the Democratic presidential field. The Bruthas then shift their focus overseas and recap the narrowly averted escalated of tensions between America and Iran; and firmly state that as representatives of Team Black, our name is Bennett and we ain’t in it. Slightly closer to home, the Bruthas weigh in on Megxit — the recent decision of the Prince Harry and Princess Meghan Markle to “step back” from their royal duties as a result of, among other things, the racism of the British tabloids. This leads the Bruthas to ponder whether today’s youngins have gotten soft. Or perhaps, they have just concluded that they will no longer put up with the nonsense. Returning back across the pond, the Bruthas discuss the proposal by Evanston, Illinois to become the first US city to implement reparations for slavery by using tax revenues from the sale of marijuana. This prompts a discussion about the possibility of using marijuana sales to finance reparations nationwide. Finally, the Bruthas make their picks for the AFC and NFC Championship games and the Super Bowl.
