62: Pink Elephant

Political Incitement and the Business of Civil Rights

The hosts critique the lack of condemnation for Maxine Waters' rhetoric from Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi. Mo describes a "business model" for civil rights cases involving attorney Ben Crump, where large settlements (like the $27 million paid to the Floyd family) act as a "pressure release valve" to stop riots. He argues the lack of violence after the Chauvin verdict proves the unrest was not organic but controlled.

12: White Guilt

Radical Black Activism as a Business Model

The creators of the Safety Pin Box describe their work as a "radical" business model that puts money directly into the pockets of black women. The hosts find this approach insulting to the legacy of the civil rights movement and argue that it trivializes the work of legitimate activists who are trying to address systemic issues.
