41: Third Wave

Jesse Jackson, Black Pete Controversy in the Netherlands

Jesse Jackson is reported to be expanding his political activism to the Netherlands to address the "Black Pete" (Zwarte Piet) tradition. The hosts characterize this as Jackson taking his "business model" on a European tour after his influence has waned in the United States. They compare it to aging entertainers seeking new audiences abroad.

12: White Guilt

Radical Black Women and the Business of Guilt

The founders of Safety Pin Box describe their work as "radical" and a legitimate business model based on market demand for white atonement. The hosts find the concept of "putting money in a black woman's pocket" as a form of reparations to be insulting to the history of the struggle. They argue that such grifters destabilize the work of legitimate activists on the ground.
