Show Notes

Ken welcomes back Osahon Obazuaye to discuss the recent spate of mass shootings and the widely reported release of body-cam video of the altercation that led to the tragic death of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols at about 8:30 PM, January 7, 2023, in Memphis, Tennessee. Ken solicits Osahon's perspective. He remembers that Osahon could not watch the deeply disturbing 8-minute video that revealed George Floyd's murder to the entire world. It's too triggering, Osahon told Ken back then. For the same reason, Osahon will not watch this traumatizing video either. While they both affirm the Memphis Police Chief, C.J. Davis' quick decision to fire the officers involved and just as quickly filed criminal charges, Ken and Osahon discuss the racial dynamics, comparing the overall development of truth and consequence with past episodes, of which there have been entirely too many.  They review their partnership in leading their Table Talk - focussed on Nikole Hannah Jones' Project 1619. A growing and troubling political narrative is attacking "wokeness," Critical Race Theory, and specifically this project - 1619. In this Cabana talk, the two guys vigorously challenge that narrative.
