Summary
<p>Parents of young Black men and boys are familiar with “the talk,” the conversation about how to survive encounters with law enforcement. It’s an unfortunate necessity. </p> <p> </p> <p>ICE is now indiscriminately asking Black folks for their papers and detaining them. We got a question from one of YOU about how this new reality affects “the talk.” The answer is much the same as it's always been BUT we appreciate the reminder that it is a good time to refresh our kids on “the talk.” </p> <p> </p> <p>ALSO we got an update from one of our viewers on the political situation in Tanzania. </p> <p> </p> <p>Join our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers for this week’s MiniPod! </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: </strong><a href="http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/"><strong>http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/</strong></a><strong> and send to @nativelandpod. </strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Welcome home y’all! </strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>—---------</strong></p> <p><strong>We want to hear from you!
