The final segment explores Clarence Thomas's transition from a radical student in army fatigues to a conservative jurist, noting the friction this caused with his grandfather. The hosts discuss how the "Willie Lynch" style of division often manifests within families over politics. The episode concludes with the song "Strange Fruit," serving as a somber reminder of the historical reality of lynching that the episode deconstructed.

The hosts provide historical context on lynching as a control mechanism used both during and after slavery. They discuss the psychological trauma associated with the imagery of the noose and "strange fruit." Mo argues that using such a profound historical trauma as a political tool or for a hoax is particularly egregious and risky.
