Bowen and Twyman discuss the meaning of recent protests at college campuses. The conflict in the Middle East is not black and white but very nuanced and complex, despite many believing they know the answer at the age of 21. Bowen and Twyman begin the episode with a review of a recent incident at the University of Mississippi between a black female protestor and a group of white frat boys, including one who chose to make monkey sounds as provocation. Are we witnessing cosplay throughout the land? Bowen and Twyman tackle this question through the lens of dogma, slogan words and the use of clothing as political symbol. Should one wear the Star of David at a pro Palestine protest, for example? The answers are not easy, save for the insight that the right side of history is non-conforming. Bowen and Twyman conclude with the profound perception that Southerners are the only defeated Americans living on American soil. People should not be forever stained with the history of one's Region.
