Join your favorite AFROnerdist team as they tackle the following (mid) weekly issues: singer, Taylor Swift gets threatened with a boycott for essentially revealing that she is a liberal due to her support of several TN Democrats and therefore not upholding "country" values; weighing in on the TV premieres of the CW's Flash (S5) and Black Lightning (S2), respectively; more on NYCC '18; our thoughts about the announcement that director, James Gunn after getting fired from Marvel's GOTG has rebounded with the WB's Suicide Squad franchise; actor, Ruby Rose's CW Batwoman costume reveal hits the cyberwebs; perhaps Venom spoiler talk and the possibilities for a sequel; actor, Michael B Jordan (Black Panther, Creed) gets critiqued for his Vanity Fair interview where he posits that there's a dearth of Black mythology and that AA need to create their own folklore (he's not exactly right but he's on to something); Johns Hopkins University names medical building after Henrietta Lacks; our thoughts on the gulity verdict levied against the police officer that killed Laquan McDonald; And lastly, Dburt has a fit over the inanity of Black skin tone politics with the latest contoversy regarding the marriage of Beyhive matriarch, Tina Knowles.
