Draymond Green Apologizes For Racial Slur - End Result for January 6 Committee Hearings | ITBP S6E21

In this week’s episode we discuss recent comments by Golden State Warrior’s superstar Draymond Green. On his podcast, The Draymond Green Show, Green called former NBA player and current ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins a racial slur. We discuss whether that word still has the weight it once did, Draymond’s apology, and how we believe situations like these should be addressed. Earlier this week we learned that actor Chadwick Boseman passed away without protecting himself with a “Will and Testament”. We ask what are the reasons the Black community has difficulty preparing and discussing the passing of their loved ones. And the January 6th committee had damning testimony from former Trump aid, Cassidy Hutchinson. But what does it all mean, and what is the end game after all the hearings are said and done? We talk about all that and much more. IN-formed. IN-telligent. In The Black!
