Ep.64 - Windrush Deportation, Women In Film a Snoop Dogg
In a week where: Parasite wins four Oscars, making history every step of the way. Coronavirus continues to spread across the world. An Australian High court rules that Aboriginals are not 'Aliens' and cannot be deported. The Government is green-lighting HS2. In the first of two Life segments: (11:35) The Home Office is going to deport 50 more people as they still haven't learned from the original Windrush Scandal. Tottenham MP David Lammy has been at the forefront in voicing up and continues to do so.In Film/TV: (26:37) We all heard the conversations about women being underrepresented in the Award ceremonies of note, but the reasons that people put on women (and especially women of colour) as to why they shouldn't be represented are practically non-existent now.In the 2nd Life segment: (40:30) The furore around Gayle King has cooled down a little since her interview with Lisa Leslie. Snoop Dogg was highly prevalent in the anger towards Gayle and that gives me pause as to why Snoop lashed out with such vitriol. Does he love Kobe that much? Or does he hate black women? Lastly, in Music: (55:06) Black music executives like Diddy a Jay-Z have been celebrated in recent years as becoming visible figures on the peak of the music industry mountain. But if you zoom in on what they're actually standing on, the shine gets muddied. Thank you for listening!
