Wed @7pm-Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review! - May 29,2013

Hopefully you folks have exercised (or is that exorcised) away all that barbecue you undoubtedly consumed during this past Memorial Day break. If you havent, lets try to assist you by exercising your mind a bit during this Wednesdays Mid Week in Review episode of Afronerd Radio airing 7pm eastern standard. Join Dburt and Captain Kirk as they highlight a few issues of note for their faithful listeners: soap manufacturer, Dove has a new ad campaign that questions what constitutes "real beauty"; recent research shows that Westerners have lost as much as 14 IQ points in the last few hundred years; a Bronx Spanish teacher gets fired for using the term "negro" in class (the teacher is Black, coincidentally); The Grio waxes on whether the Obamas are too critical of Black people (or in Afronerds world-are they critical enough?) and lastly, if time permits, it appears that the Tupac hologram has opened the door for the (heavenly?) return of more dead celebrities, hence the forthcoming Rock the Bells Hip Hop tour. Call the hosts live at: 646-915-9620. Imperius Rex, folks!
