Episode 3 of the Crim's Class Podcast is rooted in a hard truth. We demand accountability from a system that was never built to deliver us freedom, while sometimes avoiding accountability to ourselves and our community.

As Malcolm X once said (paraphrased), a chicken cannot produce a duck egg, no matter how badly we want it to, and neither can this political, economic, and social system suddenly produce liberation for Black people. Expecting it to do so without transformation is a mistake.

With this episode, I connect current moments like celebrity accountability, the racist viral Cinnabon video, capitalism rewarding harm, patriarchy being protected, and who gets fundraising sympathy versus who gets forgotten to a deeper historical framework.

From the Black Panther Party’s rules, responsibilities, and survival programs to how accountability culture actually worked for the people, not for profit or clout. I talk about Diddy, power, masculinity, and how this all traces back decades

This episode is a call to get organized. To study real organizations, understand roles, act as an organ in a body, and stop mistaking reaction for revolution. The Panthers did not just critique the system. They built alternatives. If we are serious about change, that is the work, for the culture.
