8/4/25 8AM: Why Does Everyone Want To Be Black??

The conversation furthers into hour two, speaking on the “Violence Interrupters” and their recent emergence as a respected community group aiming to keep the peace at Wisconsin State Fair & hopefully other locations going forward. Carrie & Ben share their thoughts on if the group is properly equipped and trained to prevent and de-escalate violence, along with the need for more people to join the force with regard to the recent shortage in Milwaukee. Callers chime in as well and question the practicality and locations they could assist in, as well as if they would feel safer with the group working in cooperation with local law enforcement. We then take a trip down Ben’s Rabbit Hole for today’s question “Why Does Everyone Want To Be Black?”, a discussion which was started by Ben’s liking for the hilarious movie “Malibu’s Most Wanted” centered around themes of cultural appropriation and self-awareness with regard to hip hop culture. From larger stories like Rachel Dolezal and the larger popularity of Asian pop & R&B, Ben asks chat gpt live what race it would want to be, and the answer will absolutely blow you away. Carrie & Ben wrap the show with their experiences growing up being black and how they cherish the culture they have come to know and love, understanding just why people identify and try to replicate all the things black people have popularized decade to decade.
