Special: My Mistakes and Misconceptions re. Black Lives Matter

Whiskey with Jackie James

A special and uncomfortable episode sharing my many mistakes and misconceptions regarding Black Lives Matter. This episode includes: - Black Lives Matter vs. All Lives Matter / Blue Lives Matter - Taboo and uncomfortable questions and topics - Why has it taken me so long to speak up? - Why we shouldn't ask our Black friends to help us feel more comfortable - Should we use the term African American or Black? - How to deal with haters on social media - Where do we get our news and can we trust it? - Is kneeling during the national anthem disrespectful? - Is this just a passing trend? - Are celebs donating money to encourage violence and riots? - Is everyone happy to see police officers taking a knee? What other questions do you have? I'm happy to ask for us and you can remain anonymous - email is [e-mail]. Thank you, my friends and cheers to better times ahead.
