[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING

#15: Diversity’s #BlackLivesMatter Dance On Britain’s Got Talent, Smacking Kids, John Boyega Quitting Jo Malone & Leaving Kids An Inheritance

Episode Summary

Black people as entertainment, physical punishment in 2020, localising marketing campaigns & leaving money to your kids.

Episode Notes

The ladies discuss why some people took offence to Diversity’s #BlackLivesMatter inspired performance on Britain’s Got Talent after Ofcom receives almost 2,500 complaints and whether the British public are only interested in Black people for entertainment value, if physical punishment is necessary or acceptable in 2020 and if anyone has the right to tell you how to discipline your child, whether John Boyega’s resignation from his Global Brand Ambassador role at Jo Malone was justified or if the marketing team were doing their job by localising his ad campaign for the Chinese market, and if you should leave your children an inheritance or encourage them to be self-made.
