Next, the trio speaks on former POTUS Barack Obama urging black people to ‘feel hopeful even as [they] may feel angry,’ and Mayor Bill De Blasio feeling the pressure to make change. Later, the EDS crew reacts to Warner Music Group offering $100 Million to social justice organizations, and Ben & Jerry’s statements in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
