In this episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations with Tafari, I take a hard look at the connection between Southern religion, generational trauma, and the self-hatred plaguing Black communities across America.

Why do we see so much violence, pain, and despair in the very neighborhoods that are saturated with churches?
Why are Black men taught to fear themselves while worshiping a God that looks nothing like them?
And what did we really carry with us when we left the plantations of the South and moved to the so-called promised land of the North and West?

From the broken streets of Oakland to the stained pews of Southern Baptist churches, we expose how deep-rooted indoctrination and historical oppression created a gospel of self-hate—and how we can begin the process of unlearning it.

Get ready for truth without filters—clarity without compromise.
This is the conversation religion doesn’t want you to have.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
