Topic: Kente Cloth

Vernon Jones delivers a speech at the RNC criticizing Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer for wearing Kente cloths as a form of empty pandering. He shares his personal history of growing up in a cinder block home with no indoor plumbing in North Carolina, emphasizing a God-fearing work ethic. The hosts suggest Jones represents a growing maturation among black male voters who are tired of being treated as a "captive audience."

Archival clips of Malcolm X are used to critique the relationship between white liberals and black voters. Malcolm X describes the white liberal as a "hypocritical" figure who uses black people as pawns in a political football game against conservatives. The hosts point to modern examples, such as Democratic leaders wearing Kente cloth, as evidence of continued "tokenism."
