MK334: Doin it for Ourselves! (Golden Globes, Seneca Village, Rule of 3: Betty White, Sidney Poitier, Bob Saget)

Episode 334

14th January 2022

Minority Korner is back with a brand new episode! And who else to bring us some fresh takes than James and Nnekay! Join us as we discuss the golden globes, Will Smith and how a prominent black neighborhood used to be in Central Park called Seneca village.

Episode notes

We’re officially back, there’s no one else in the world we would rather start the year off with than the queen of minority Korner herself Nnekay Fitzclarke! If 30 Rock has taught us anything it’s that the rule of 3 in celebrity deaths is real as we have lost Betty White, Sidney Poitier, and Bob Saget. The Golden Globes.. Happened? But does it count? There were also some big historic wins when it comes to representation!  In the main Korner James finally delivers on the history of Seneca Village, a once prominent Black community where Central Park now resides. Find out what happened to this Black community and how this displacement still happens today.

About the show

Are you easily confused by terms like cultural appropriation, cisgender, toxic masculinity, twunk, queer, black girl magic, and woke? Or maybe you’re tired of explaining terms like these and you need a community that gets you! Welcome to Minority Korner, where we take an introspective look at the world. through an intersectional lens. Join James: a queer, political, comedian, self proclaimed, sexy blerd (that’s Black Nerd) and each week he’s joined in the Korner by another fabulous minority tackling pop culture, the news, media, and history all with a little self care, and self love sprinkled throughout! It’s time to Learn, Laugh, and Play, right here at Minority Korner- because together: we’re the majority!
