Black in America, Black in Britain: What I Learned | TDA - E802
Manage episode 507125103 series 3335966
🎙️ TDA - The Day After | Sept 18 Recap
A heavy episode full of debates and wild revelations:
We kicked off with tech hiccups on Restream but quickly got into clips of far-right voices claiming England’s culture is being “erased.” The panel dissected racism dressed up as “heritage pride.”
A young Black woman defended her experience at a Tommy Robinson protest, sparking heated conversation about identity, immigration, and what it means to celebrate culture without erasing others.
Things escalated with Charlie Kirk’s death - from shocking racist remarks he made, to Candace Owens hinting at conspiracies about Israel, funding, and whether his assassination was a setup.
The panel read through the alleged shooter’s leaked texts, with everyone debating if they were “too perfect” to be real. Conspiracy or truth?
Then came the fallout: Jimmy Kimmel reportedly banned across networks for mocking Trump’s reaction to Kirk’s death - sparking a big back-and-forth about free speech, satire, and consequence.
We closed with headlines ranging from deportation battles, protests in London, Obama’s remarks on Kirk, Trump’s economic pressure, and Russian strikes in Ukraine.
Plus, lighter moments comparing food, dating, and tipping culture in the US vs UK with our guest, Miles - a Ghanaian med student navigating life between Virginia and London.
