Award Show Shocker: Man Shouts the N-Word as Michael B. Jordan Presents Awards

February 23
23 mins

Episode Description

The BBC is apologizing after a racial slur was shouted during the BAFTAs last night in London.  Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo (both Oscar nominees for "Sinners") were presenting the first award of the night when the n-word could be heard shouted out in the theater.  The show host later apologized to the audience and blamed the outburst on a man's Tourette Syndrome. But that didn't stop an intense and heated debate online; many suggesting there's no way this was a coincidence. Whatever you do, please listen to the end of this episode where Amy and T. J. apply context and explain "coprolalia," a term you might not be familiar with but might explain why the incident might not have anything to do with racism.
