This episode is quite the doozy - real complex and complicado! This week the hosts examine the concept of “the white friend” - or is it “a friend who happens to be white”? jarrett and Tre’vell break down what the difference is. But first, jarrett sheds some light on the Jussie Smollett case, and the demonstrable lies that formed the public narrative, and the demonstrable truths…that didn’t. Smollett’s lawyers are appealing the case.
Ever had a white friend? Or perhaps you are the white friend? On this week’s episode we discuss the FAN and ANTI of interracial friending.
