Conservatism and Respect for Elders in Black Communities

The hosts discuss the "profoundly conservative" nature of Southern Black society, which was built on a deep respect for elders and authority.

Mo identifies as a social conservative, clarifying that he values the "patriarchy" as a system of male responsibility. They play a clip from the show *Billions* featuring a character giving "old school" advice on marriage and family. Mo argues that the destruction of the masculine principle leads to social instability and that lineage is the primary source of self-identity.
