Ep10 – Holy Water
A lawyer, a filmmaker, a host and a comedian get serious this week realizing that sometimes the only remedy for life’s woes is to commune with one another and talk things out. This episode they discuss why Sandra Bland’s arrest and subsequent death still has the US divided; the voice of conservative America and their continued attack on the President; why All Lives Matter as a retort to Black Lives Matter is tone deaf and racist; whether ‘Ashley Madison’ Cheaters ever win? If you consider yourself a conversational mixologist, then hit play, until the bartender cuts you off.

SUICIDE?! Bull****! Why would Sandra Bland commit suicide when she just got a job. If she was so hell bent on taking her life she would not have bothered going to the interview in the first place. I have personally been to Texas and they are indeed racist!!!

Emile, your dad is right. I know that when I did an internship for H.U.D, I will never forget the wise advice of a “white” agent who told me something very similar when I told her about my “pull-over” incidents…and the advice she offered has worked for me. We have to know our rights and protect ourselves by making the best decisions in terms of dealings with the police. No, I do not believe that refusing to put out a cigarette, failing to signal, etc, justifies murder….OF COURSE NOT!!! However, I know from experience that in terms of dealing with the police (any race), being humble and respectful is the best policy. And if they are out of line when speaking to us or in dealings, we take proper legal action and report them, file a lawsuit, etc. But please guys, make smart moves so that we can live to see the next day!
Here’s the thing guys, everyone is on edge. And just like an officer doesn’t know us, where we truly come from, what we have endured, etc…the officer approaching or pulling you over may have just been shot at, disrespected or he may be dealing with whatever or have some serious psychological issues….and they have GUNS. You rub a crazy person the wrong way…anything is likely to go down!
