In today's episode, we start off by discussing how racism encompasses more than just the n-word. We discuss a viral video from North Carolina where an elderly Karen uses the word freely to describe a group of Black women she believed were laughing too loudly, and how most folks see that as racist behavior but not the behaviors (or lack thereof) that actually cause harm to Black and Brown communities. We also spend some time discussing the BLM apparel/salute ban from the Tokyo Olympics for 2022. We move on to discuss another instance of cultural insensitivity this time from Minnesota where a child asks his date to the prom and compares it to Black people picking cotton. We discuss why cultural education is important and should be preserved in schools. Finally, we talk about a Baton Rouge Police Department Narcotics Division officer named Jeremiah Ardain who blew the whistle on his departments corruption which resulted in hundreds of cases being thrown out, thousands being reexamined, and ultimately his own imprisonment. Support the showwww.civiccipher.comFollow us: @CivicCipher
