BONUS EPISODE DROPPING TODAY!

Season eight of Love Island USA repeated a familiar pattern with the black contestants who were chosen as the target this year. This time, almost no one called it what it was. In this episode of Critical Condition, we break down how racialized attacks against Black contestants got normalized once they appeared to come from other Black cast members, and how that devolved into brand accounts and meme pages piling on without consequence.

We also get into why concepts like internalized racism and horizontal violence rarely make it into the online discourse (spoiler alert it's because the schools REMAIN CLOSED). đŸ˜©đŸ«ŁđŸ“šâœ‚ïž#LoveIslandUSA #CriticalCondition #PopCulture #LoveIslandReunion #KCandTiti
