Episode 35 -- Jigga, Please!

Bruthas N Law

This week, the bruthas are joined by lawyer and comedian Robert Jenkins to discuss, among other things, the current controversy over Jay-Z’s deal to provide music (and the end of racism) for the NFL. Uncharacteristically, the bruthas are divided on their views of the matter, which range from “Jigga ain’t shit” to “we need to wait to see if Jigga ain’t shit.” The bruthas also attempt to refocus the issue back to police brutality and discuss some ways for the NFL (and its players) to address the problem with local police departments. In that vein, the bruthas discuss the recent decision by the NYPD to fire the police officer who killed Eric Garner with an illegal choke hold; and the resulting backlash from the Blue Lives Matter crowd. Also, the bruthas discuss the current fervor over Popeye’s new chicken sandwich, which seems to threaten black loyalty to Chic-Fil-A, and possibly even start a camping trend amongst black folks as we wait in line for hours for a taste of heaven. The brothers also discuss how we can learn from Popeyes in creating new strategies for social justice. Finally, the bruthas discuss the Democratic 2020 presidential field and get Robert’s “Final Four” candidates for the nomination. We GUARANTEE that you will love this episode as much as (or maybe more than) a Popeyes chicken sandwich.
