Best Friend Weekend Podcast

In one of the most heated podcasts to date, Rog Smuve returned to discuss the recent racially charged events in Charlottesville, Virginia from conservative and liberal perspectives. We began by explaining the protest and the aftermath (03:00) which brought us a conversation about the meaning of imagery, especially flags (16:00), statues (20:00), and schools (27:00) that bear the name/likeness of Confederate soldiers. We played a snippet from the presidents' response and dedicated some time to our feelings about Donald Trump (32:00). Labeling this the "Decade of Protest" (41:00), we discussed white-on-white crime (46:00), the outrage of "auctions" in today's society (52:00), and where to draw the line on things that are deemed "racist" (57:00).
