Episode 63: Lessons Yet Learned – Rodney King

February 12, 2022 3 1

In this episode we take a departure from the normal comedy and interviews, we’re doing in order to tackle a topic that carries weight to this day.
We present both fact and opinion here, but we make sure to draw clear lines between fact and opinion.

We’re starting a new series of episodes called Lessons Yet Learned, where we’ll be covering things the society seems to be blatantly ignoring. Despite years of having it staring us in the face.

Odd Man debated on this being the first one for a while. He reached out to several close friends, about covering the topic and how to present it without seeming like we are cashing in on suffering.

The Rodney King beating and the subsequent trial and roits that happen after the Rodney King verdict was handed down. A beacon points in our history. In the 30 years since Rodney King was attacked, not much has really changed within our society. Racism still runs rampant, police are still beating and killing minorities and society seems to want to turn a blind eye to the majority of the issues that keep us locked in this cycle.
