41: Third Wave

Rodeo Drive Looting, Charles Barkley on Slurs

The recent looting of prosperous areas like Rodeo Drive and Fifth Avenue is contrasted with the 1992 Rodney King riots, which were largely confined to poor neighborhoods. Charles Barkley is quoted explaining that "thug" is used as a "pseudo-N-word" by those who want to keep black people in their place. The hosts discuss the psychological shift in the "third wave" of protesters who are now targeting high-end retail districts.
