Malcolm X and the "Wire" of Street Honor

Using excerpts from the autobiography of Malcolm X, the hosts discuss the "hustler code" and the concept of "the wire"—the street's version of social media. The story of Detroit Red's impasse with West Indian Archie illustrates the necessity of saving face in masculine-driven cultures. Mo Fax draws parallels between this street honor and the loyalty seen in Donald Trump's political circle.
