Talented Tenth vs. The Five Percent, Season Outro

Moe and Adam conclude the episode by questioning the "Talented Tenth" theory of W.E.B. Du Bois, suggesting it actually creates a class of "bloodsuckers" like the Boule. They cite Charlamagne Tha God as a modern example of a "hip" operative for the establishment. The show ends with a preview of future discussions on the "bastardization" of hip-hop's power and a final musical montage.

The Talented Tenth, Black Leadership Obligations

The "Talented Tenth" philosophy, popularized by W.E.B. Du Bois, is examined through a clip of Judge Joe Brown. The concept suggests that one-tenth of the black population should be highly educated to lead the remaining 90%. The hosts discuss the "brain drain" that occurs when elite black talent is recruited into predominantly white institutions (PWIs) and the historical debate between Du Bois and Booker T. Washington regarding top-down versus bottom-up community building.

Antony C. Sutton on the Capitalist-Communist Conspiracy

Economist Antony C. Sutton's work is used to explain how international capitalists prefer captive socialist markets for easier control. The hosts discuss the "Hegelian dialectic" of creating conflict between left and right to achieve a "New World Order" synthesis. They also introduce the concept of "The Boulay" or the "Talented Tenth," an elite group of minorities recruited by the power structure to manage the "sheep."

Virginia Governor Blackface Scandal and Political Cowardice

Mo shares a personal story from his time working in Virginia, where the Governor (Ralph Northam) had to be "sneaked" into a building through the back door to avoid confrontation following his blackface scandal. The hosts discuss the "cookout pass" and how political and media figures avoid accountability through strategic silence and the protection of the "Boulay" (Black elite).

The Talented Tenth and the Silent Clergy

The hosts analyze Dr. Turner's sermon through the lens of the "Talented Tenth" and the "Boule." They suggest that the Duke family's donations to the Methodist Church ensured that local black reverends remained quiet during the lacrosse scandal, as they knew "where their bread was buttered." This explains why outside figures like Malik Shabazz were needed for protests.

Stephen A. Smith Contract and ESPN Disney Ties

Stephen A. Smith signed a record-breaking contract with ESPN, reportedly worth $10 million per year, shortly before his vocal criticism of Colin Kaepernick's Atlanta workout. The discussion links Smith's high-profile position at the Disney-owned network to the NFL's interests, suggesting he serves as a voice for the establishment. This is contrasted with the "woke" crowd, creating a public ideological conflict between different factions of Black media and activism.
