And I quick this to the hashtag Me Too, because a lot of men are saying, well, why are, you know, all these women are speaking up? Like, guess what?

Women have been dealing with sexism, patriarchy, misogyny for centuries. And so why would they not all of a sudden say if one person opens their door,

Jarvara Burk, a black woman created the term, which is with Me Too, in 2006. Let's be clear about that.

Other women have come through that door.

Why would all these women say, hey, enough is enough?

Which is what black folks are saying when we say black lives matter.

Welcome to the Edge of Sports podcast. I'm Dave Ziron. This week we speak to author and activist Kevin Powell about his new book of essays, My Mother, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and the Last Stand of the Angry White Man. Yes, there is a sports component to this. We'll try to tease it out in this

interview. But sincerely, this interview is fantastic. It already happened. We did it in front of a

terrific crowd at a bookstore here in Washington, D.C., and cannot wait to share it with all of you.

Also, I've got some choice words about Vante Davis, the man who retired at half-time

of an NFL game. Also, I've just stand up and just sit your ass down awards, Kaepernick

Watch, and more. But first, let's go to Solid State Bookstore at 6008 Street Northeast

for my interview with Kevin Powell.

I just first of all want to put my cards on the table.

I'm one of the blurbers of this book, and I wrote, made no mistake about it, whether writing about Harvey Weinstein, his mother or American football, this book is hip-hop in the best sense of the phrase, and that it challenges the reader to step outside of themselves.

So I love this book, and I can even just leave it at that.

But there's a lot that I want to explore with him.

And I love Dave Zioner, one of our best sports writers in the country can get him around with a ball.

And if you haven't seen it today, he has a great piece about

Serena Williams in New York Daily News. You can read it all along

a really powerful piece about race and gender and intersectionality

the two to Serena Williams.
