the MOVE bombing jokes seemed pretty bad since boots cancelled appearing on the pod over it
also i think that some of the hosts' approach to discussing BLM and its tactics shows some serious bias, not the best memory but i remember them taking a Not all cops type of stance which was ....hm ...theyre literally willing to go HAM for a lot of things but always seem to get shy around BLM stuff / have a edgy commentary about how the tactics BLM is doing is weird in some way
as a black woman i find some of the hosts racist and would fight them in public over it because im a hood bitch <3
also amber also accused ricky rawls of being scary/ a harrasser / an evil black man / intimidating aggressor because he got heated about advocating for the negative way black people feel with cops/policing. big karen vibes.
edit: i also think that the hosts are racist by virtue of associating with cum town / red scare who are absolutely racist POS (calling obama a gorilla is one of the cum town greatest hits, right up there with the super ironic isis sweatshirt created by the red scare girls )
i also just find the ways the hosts talk about marginalized people generally a little ehhhhhhhhhh and i highly doubt that theyd ever say that shit in front of me, a black poor as fuck non gentrifier // in front of anyone who isnt apart of their non ironic white wealthy gentrifier friend group.....
i'd LOVE for them to try to say that shit in front of me so i can tell them about themselves but alas
edit 2: apparently the reason why boots didnt go on the pod wasnt because of the MOVE stuff but joking about the MOVE bombing (aka they really made a joke about how bombing those kids was justified because they wouldve been bad neighbors which...tracks given the whole gentrifierness of it all...... >_> ) is still incredibly racist and absolutely insane so it still stands
edit 3: also other than the blatant racism theyve done a lot, some of the hosts are just out of touch as fuck and as a result say weird tone deaf " i wouldve voted for obama 3 times tier" shit. I saw the amber jacobin mutual aid podcast and she's like "HAHA NOBODY WOULD EVER GENTRIFY PHILLY BECAUSE THE SCHOOLS ARE SOOOOOO HORRIBLE" in front of a woc and black dude who were just like ....sis. Philly is 1.5 hrs a way. DAMN. The extreme karen-ness aside (gEntRifIcAtiOn OnLy hAPpeNs beCause OuR wHite ChIlDrEN nEed gOod SchOOls) , like imagine gentrifying NYC (where the schools are shit ----but ofc the hosts never went to a shit public school here---- but people are still gentrifying! and which is a place that hosts the most transplants coming to gentrify PA like holy fucking shit) and saying that LMAO /// anyway i think the hosts' relationship to gentrifying nyc is also very racist but someones gonna give me a reply whataboutism-ing shit for saying that as well as a "NYC IS SOOO EXPENSIVE 100K A MONTH IS NOTHING" rant so soooo let me stop
I remember a tweet Boots made saying that if he knew about it before he was supposed to go on the pod that he would just give them shit for it in the episode, but he canceled for a different reason

the isis sweatshirt was funny
idk, some people effected by isis said otherwise and seemed hella bothered but do you comedian man

Woah woah woah, they made jokes about the MOVE bombing that were so bad Boots wouldn't go on the show? Damn.
