Shownotes Transcript

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is celebrated widely not only in the United States but even in, as it turns out, Israel! Yes, even Israelis are jumping on the bandwagon seeking to co-opt the legacy of the great American civil rights leader to achieve their own nefarious ends. Guest host Russell Dobular talks to Revolutionary Blackout Network’s Compton Jay and Nick Cruse about how black revolutionaries of the past are nearly universally embraced while contemporary black revolutionaries are decried as grifters. Plus segments on the story behind why orthodox Jews were digging tunnels under the streets of New York City and how Gen Z’s lack of social skills is costing them job opportunities. Also featuring Mischa Paulin and Kurt Metzger!
