Welcome to Episode 31 of the Straight Shootin' Rants On this episode Straight Shootin' LJA gives his views on Black History Month and it's significance but also about the tokenism that happens during the month and if this has taken away the impact of the month, especially in 2020. SSLJA looks at tokenism in TV during Black History Month and how TV networks seem to trot out Black programmes and make grandiose gestures, but also workplaces that do similar such as Royal Mail's commemorative black mailboxes, but also the massive PR blunder by a PureGym branch that came up with an ill conceived and ill timed '12 years a slave' workout and more. This is a general opinion & is not aimed at anyone in particular unless otherwise stated.
