In this episode we be discussing how the rules for a minority doing something and the media distorting it and then them (caucasians) doing something and the media shaping it for a specific narrative.  For example, in the world of professional football people have this perception that Tom Brady is a squeaky clean golden boy, but when he is "mic'd up" on the field and you hear him on talking trash and is labled a fiery competitor. In the same breath Richard Sherman is one of the best cornerbacks in the league and will call you out just to see if you can prove you are the best, but is seen and labled as an arrogant thug for calling people out.  The media is known for shaping the opinion of people based on how those individuals personalities are in accordance to their race. This topic can also be discussed in entertainment as far as different public figures are concerned as well.
