Alex McComb BIG & Awkward

Western Mustangs running back Trey Humes joins as he speaks out against racial injustices and double-standards that the Black community has faced in the U.S., in Canada and around the world. We talk about the effect of social media and #BlackoutTuesday, his recent heated exchange on Twitter with a Western alumnus who threatened to pull his donations from Western after the school made a tweet showing solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter movement, his thoughts on what the white community needs to do in their own daily lives to help in the fight against systemic and systematic racism and much MUCH more... For more interviews on the student-athletes speaking out for the Black Lives Matter movement, check out my article in The Western Gazette.
