Mo Fax notes that even white audiences consume this "black snuff music" as a form of authentic entertainment.

Radicalization and the TEDx Non-Violence Pivot

The hosts examine Hawk Newsome’s shift from preaching non-violence in a 2018 TEDx talk to his more radical rhetoric following the death of George Floyd. They discuss how media coverage can radicalize individuals, giving them a false sense of security to speak their minds before being "canceled" or silenced when they deviate from the approved narrative. Nick Cannon is also mentioned as a victim of this cycle.
