Don't Believe the Hype!

  • Summary

  • In the season finale, Don’t Believe the Hype, we chop it up about a couple of current hot-button topics. The mid-term elections and the Anti-Semitism (or lack thereof).

    The results of the mid-term elections and exit polls revealed a lot of unsettling information about what our country cares about and who they want to represent in our government. As the dust continues to clear, it is still a sobering reality that it’s more about power than what’s best for the people of this country.

    Also, Ye’ and Kyrie Irvin’s Twitter account has unintentionally put Semitism front and center as both have received an intense backlash and protest, which has cost them significantly. What’s troubling is when you stop and listen (and read) what both of them said concerning Semitism, it raises questions about the term “Anti-Semitic,” only referring to the Jewish community.

    The Hype society has put around those divisive triggers only reinforces the notion that we listen to respond instead of listening to understand. Let’s talk about it.
