Topic: Lynch Mob

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.

The hosts criticize Hot 97's Peter Rosenberg for his "lynch mobbish" rhetoric toward Lil Wayne after the rapper met with Trump. They define the word "eviscerate" and argue that Rosenberg's desire to "disembowel" a Black man for his political choices is a form of media-driven shaming.
