64: We Are People 2

Rachel Nichols, Rachel Dolezal, and Escapism

The hosts compare the historical "Miss Anne" to modern figures like Rachel Nichols and Rachel Dolezal. They argue that "volunteering for blackness" is often a form of escapism for white women that can be abandoned when it becomes inconvenient. This is contrasted with the lived experience of black individuals, with the hosts suggesting that movements like Black Lives Matter can sometimes serve as a similar outlet for white participants.

Radicalization, Nick Cannon, and TEDx Talks

The hosts examine Hawk Newsome's shift from preaching non-violence in a 2018 TEDx talk to his more recent radical rhetoric. They compare this to the radicalization of Nick Cannon and discuss how media coverage can give activists a false sense of security. They use the "Cancel Cannon" sound effect to mark the fallout from these public statements.
