FUBU is FUBAR on NPR.
I was a bit worried about doing this podcast today.
Some personal matters put me on the road and in meetings, so I thought maybe I would just do a repeat.
Then I heard a segment on NPR this morning, and I knew right away, nothing could stop me from doing this podcast.
From Colin Flaherty
Don't Make the Black Kids Angry Podcast by Colin Flaherty
"Colin Flaherty was the reporter’s reporter -- especially on tough stories. And he was recognized for it with more than 50 journalism awards from around the country.
"Now he has written a book about the toughest story of all: Racial violence."
"Flaherty has the goods: This is an important and penetrating book about a big problem. Read it. Pass it around. Send it to a local talk show host or, better still, a reporter."
"Lord knows they need it."
White Girl Bleed a Lot ”has gone viral.”
“A favorite of conservative voices.”
"Flaherty digs up some great examples of officials denying or covering up black violence.
My favorite example was a school superintendent in Philadelphia who circulated "a pamphlet on how not to antagonize black students" to Asian students while the local papers were busying explaining that the violence had "no racial component." Right."
