Morbidology the Podcast - 118: Renisha McBride

Race can often play a part in how certain people view certain situations. In 2013, a black teenage girl went to the front door of a home in a predominantly white neighbourhood near Detroit, Michigan. She had gotten into a car accident and was looking for help. The actions of the home-owner that night would raise many questions about how people talk about race and violence within the United States.

Episode 118 of Morbidology is available to listen to on all podcast platforms and YouTube.

Good morning, family. Yesterday in the Renisha McBride murder trial, Theodore Wafer was found guilty of second degree murder, manslaughter and felony weapons charges.

AP Gets Blasted On Twitter
