Ice Cube appears on Hot 97 with Ebro Darden, declaring himself a "true undecided voter." When Ebro questions him about Donald Trump's alleged alignment with white supremacy, Ice Cube responds that white supremacy exists on both sides of the aisle.

Samuel L. Jackson's past comments regarding the casting of British actors in American stories like Get Out and Selma are reviewed.

Radio host Ebro Darden argues for a Pan-Africanist view, suggesting that separating the American black experience from the broader transatlantic slave trade and colonialism is a result of "plantation programming." He asserts that unity across the diaspora is necessary for power. The hosts counter that this is a political tactic to maintain a "black monolith" for the 2020 election cycle.
