i have been lucky to participate in a number of #doctorwho podcasts this year, but none as highly anticipated as this. what a joy to be invited on "500 year diary" to talk about my birth story, "horror of fang rock."

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.
