No one.;  thoughts about a upcoming X-men arc that returns the character, Psylocke back to White (yes it's convoluted) despite having been portrayed as Asian for close to 30 years; more on filmmaker, Jordan Peele's upcoming HBO TV series, Lovecraft Country based on the book that explores horror and race through the adventures of a Black family on a road trip in the deep South during the Jim Crow 1950s;  Disney gets accused of colorism with a black character's second appearance in an upcoming animated film; picking up where we left off with the Lyor Cohen interview about drug usage promotion in hip hop;  Dburt wonders why aren't there HBCU contestants on Jeopardy during their college themed shows;  highlighting the book, Everybody Lies by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz which essentially places focus on Google's ability to tap into the human psyche on a Freudian level (and it's not pretty); discussing the Ducktales reboot along with the return of Adult Swim's Venture Bros.; unfortunately, Boots Riley has a problem with Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman; And more about Dburt's #getoncode agenda.  Call LIVE at 646-915-9620.
