Every Friday, The Takeaway assembles a panel of cultural and political experts to chew over the past week’s stories. This week Illinois held a primary, a Romney aide committed an unforgettable “Etch-A-Sketch” gaffe, March Madness marched along, and throngs of people rallied to call for justice in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. This week’s panel includes Latoya Peterson, editor of Racilicious.com, Ibrahim Abdul-Matin, Takeaway sports contributor, and Ron Christie, Takeaway contributor and Republican political strategist.
