The discussion centers on Patrice Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, and her public admission of being a "trained Marxist." Moe introduces the term "Black Ink" to categorize the business and political side of racial activism, including figures like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. They examine an interview conducted by Jared Ball where Cullors discusses the origins and radical gender politics of the movement.
Patrice Cullors responds to critiques regarding the structure of Black Lives Matter by asserting that she and co-founder Alicia Garza are "trained Marxists" and "trained organizers." She claims they are well-versed in ideological theories and aim to build a movement centered on the most vulnerable members of the black community. The hosts analyze her tone as a defensive assertion of her revolutionary credentials.
