Topic: Dictionary Definition

An MTV News segment argues that the dictionary definition of racism is insufficient and should be replaced by a sociological definition: "prejudice plus power." The video uses a car repair analogy to suggest that only sociologists are qualified to define the term. This shift in language is criticized as logically inconsistent and confusing for younger audiences.

CNN's Erin Burnett is criticized for her interview with a Baltimore councilman who equated the word "thug" with a racial slur. The hosts examine the dictionary definition of "thug" and argue that the term has been unfairly racialized by media figures and local politicians.
