Just sayin'); a White college tennis player taunts his Black opponent by assuming that he (Black player) was fatherless as well as other racist implications;  Marvel's Black Panther had it's Hollywood premiere and although reviewers are prevented from giving out any details, word on the street affirms that it is a "game changer" as it relates to the MCU landscape; and in even more Panther news, legendary actor, Wesley Snipes via a new Hollywood Reporter piece, discloses some insider details when he attempted to get the film made more than 20 years ago;  Star Trek: Discovery makes a course correction with the help of Nigerian director, Olatunde Osunsanmi and lastly, could the proposed deletion of the Y chromosome spell the end of masculinity?  Call LIVE at 646-915-9620.
