Episode notes

Nnekay and James are back giggling in the korners. Trying to figure out how to set the record straight? No. Setting the record right? No. Setting the record on the appropriate course. Yes. They are here to discuss as what Marvin Gaye and James say, “What is going on?” They discuss horrible incident that happened in Las Vegas, what we can do about it, and how this keeps happening to America by Americans. The semantics of the media… who is called a lone wolf, a thug, a terrorist?

It’s time to Learn, Laugh, and Play, right here at Minority Korner- because together: we’re the majority!
