Two college students from Morehouse and Spelman were forcefully removed from their car and tased by Atlanta police. The hosts highlight that five of the six officers involved were black, arguing this proves the issue is one of "class" rather than "color." They note the rapid response from the mayor because the victims were from the "Boule" or elite black community.
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms urges protesters to go home, invoking the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. The hosts characterize the invocation of MLK as a "control mechanism" used by the establishment to quell unrest. They contrast the destructive riots with the effective, non-violent highway blockades used by farmers in the Netherlands.
Comedian Ricky Smiley took over Tom Joyner's radio time slot and immediately used his platform to urge support for "fellow Greeks" like Kamala Harris and Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. Smiley emphasizes the importance of the "divine nine" black fraternities and sororities sticking together. Mo identifies this as the "Boule web" in action, attempting to maintain control over the black electorate.
