Topic: Slam Poetry

During the reveal of the new Apple MacBook Pro with a "Touch Bar," employees at the Apple campus reportedly snapped their fingers instead of clapping. The hosts compare this behavior to 1950s beatniks at a poetry slam. This brief tech update is followed by a mention of a Reuters poll showing that half of Republican voters would reject the election results if Hillary Clinton wins.

A 14-year-old student from a private school in Atlanta gained national media attention for a slam poetry piece titled "White Boy Privilege." During a CNN interview, the student credited a school course called "Race, Class, and Gender" for his awareness of social hierarchies. The hosts analyze the clip as an example of modern educational trends focusing on self-loathing and systemic guilt.
