Film and the narrative we don't discuss

While in college I took a course called Sociology of Film and it was awesome, minus the political whiteness and racial stereotypes that the so called feminist professor who taught the class failed so miserably at addressing.  Anyways if I was to teach the course this is how it might sound.

A double standard for Black athletes following Kamila Valieva and Sha'Carri Richardson
Can we get a solid answer on the difference" between their situations? Mediators ruled that Valieva should be allowed to skate regardless of testing positive for performing enhancing drugs.  While suspending Richardson for Marijuana use used to cope with depression and grief.  How do we address the double standard within the athletic community as well as the Black community?  Do we as people of color have a responsibility to uphold higher standards or does that higher standard actually backfire and shrink the voice we have?

The Managerial Elite whose the victim?

What did George Orwell the author of Animal farm mean when he said "We of the sinking middle class may sink without further struggles into the working class where we belong, and probably when we get there it will not be as dreadful as we feared, for, after all, we have nothing to lose"? If we consider the strategic thinking of systemic oppression then this statement can apply to how society has shaped itself  and maybe we should blame the knowledge of the so called literary giants on critical race theory.  Follow along with this discussion to add your input.
