Charlie Kirk's Murder and the Dark Corners of Social Media Response
Manage episode 506765821 series 2796093
Charlie Kirk's murder has exposed America's painful double standard in how we grieve and memorialize public figures. In this candid episode, we explore the jarring contrast between NFL stadiums holding moments of silence for Kirk while Black victims of violence rarely receive similar recognition. When flags are lowered to half-staff for some but not others, what message does that send about whose lives we collectively value?
Shifting to lighter territory, we break down the contrasting album rollout strategies between Drake and Cardi B. While Drake opts for select interviews and single releases, Cardi's grassroots approach has her literally on the streets selling CDs and riding subways to promote her music. This old-school hustle earned our respect, with one host noting: "She's living that New York life." We cap off with a spirited debate about the song of the summer (is it "Folded" or "Outside"?) and explore TI's surprisingly extensive dating history.
