In this week's episode we tackle the growing phenomenon of "Passport Bros".  Why are a growing number of Black men deciding to travel abroad to meet women and "find love"?  Also, after recorded video surfaced from the UK showing a mother leading her 4 daughters to attack a Black schoolmate, we as are we properly teaching our children how to do deal with confrontation and other forms of conflict?  And, questions and protests grow louder in the wake of Atlanta's push to build a $90 million dollar police facility.  Activists at the "Cop City" encampment were forced out by state troopers, who during the altercation shot and killed one of the activists.  

We discuss all that, and much more.  Informed.  Intelligent.  In The Black.

Atlanta’s $90 Million Dollar Cop City

Violent protesters were a subsection of hundreds of demonstrators who had gathered and marched up Atlanta’s famed Peachtree Street to mourn the death of the protester, a nonbinary person who went by the name Tortuguita and used they/it pronouns.

Tortuguita was killed Wednesday as authorities cleared a small group of protesters from the site of a planned Atlanta-area public safety training center that activists have dubbed “Cop City.”

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has said Tortuguita was killed by officers after shooting and wounding a state trooper, but activists have questioned officials’ version of events, calling it a “murder” and demanding an independent investigation.

The Passport Bros

The concept behind passport bros existed way before this particular term gained traction and made the rounds on TikTok. It’s essentially a mail-order bride with more steps: men travel to foreign countries with the intention of sleeping with or marrying women, often driven by the perception that women in their home country have impossibly high standards or different life goals.

The term seems to have gained traction in January this year, according to a subreddit known as r/OutOfTheLoop.
