The thing with questions is, that you're putting the emotional labour onto someone who is already dealing with it on an emotional level (if you're asking a black person about BLM). If you're asking a white person in good faith, then fair enough because they haven't had to live through it. But also, as was said on the show, you have all the info in the world at your finger tips. A lot of the influences I follow on Instagram have been talking about this stuff, so I've learned a lot through them, as well as been directed to different resources so I can learn for myself (like books, podcasts, other influences in the community). And that helps benefit black producers too by giving them more sales, downloads, clicks or whatever.
