Ep 145 - Racist death threats to Dr Shola, What can the community do?

On today's episode, we discuss the troubling news that the Metropolitan Police are investigating death threats sent to Black activist Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu and trans broadcaster India Willoughby. The letters contained shocking language and violent threats, and the police are calling on the UK to wake up to the racism that still exists in our society.

We also delve into the controversy surrounding this year's BAFTA awards, which have been criticised for their lack of diversity. Despite a diverse range of nominees, all 49 winners were white, leading to calls for black people to withdraw from the awards altogether.

In other news, we discuss the ongoing legal battle of Shamima Begum, the schoolgirl who left the UK to support ISIS and had her citizenship stripped in 2019. Begum has lost her appeal against the government's decision to remove her British citizenship, leaving her stranded in a Syrian refugee camp.

Finally, we turn our attention to the debate surrounding the feminisation of Black men, sparked by Jonathan Majors' recent cover on Ebony magazine, and Rihanna and ASAP Rocky's recent Vogue cover. Red Pill guys have been analysing the images and accusing them of emasculating men, but is this just another example of toxic masculinity?
