đď¸ TDA: Thursday 9th October - âIs Every Crime the Same?â
The energy was high from the jump - jokes, deep takes, and sharp moral debates filled the morning.
Topic of the Day: Are all crimes equal - or are some âculturally excusedâ?The team explored how certain actions, like fraud or hustling, are sometimes justified within the community. They unpacked survival, circumstance, and morality - asking where empathy ends and accountability begins.
Conversations & Highlights:Gina revealed Trend Central reached out for an interview, sparking a talk about platform image and integrity. There was a real discussion about anti-Blackness in Muslim spaces, and how prejudice still plays out within our own communities. A viral clip celebrating the peaceful legacy of Black nations led to a powerful reflection on Black moral identity, and how that perception is used and misunderstood.Football took centre stage briefly with a passionate Messi vs Ronaldo debate - talent vs discipline - before the team returned to dissecting fraud culture and whether âwe all know someoneâ makes it any less wrong. Brent teased plans for THE NEW BLXCK bar at the studio and invited listeners to weigh in on the vibe and mixologists theyâd want to see behind it.
