The Poethnic Justice Podcast

Greetings Family,

I hope this message finds you well. In this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, we cover a topic that I've heard many white people ask me over the years (but not so much in the past 4 years).

The question is, "Why do I need to do anything about racism when I don't have a racist bone in my body?" or something along those lines.

That inquiry is normally followed with the phrases I've heard a million times like, ...

Family,

As a published author and literary enthusiast, the primary reason I started the Poethnic Justice Podcast was because I saw how powerful the act of reading and writing is in the fight for justice. I felt it was my duty as a wordsmith to highlight this fact.

Whether it was Dr. King, Malcolm X, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Ida B. Wells, or any other of our Master Teachers, they were adamant readers and prolific writers. ...

Greetings Family,

In this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, we discuss how the root causes of the September 11th attacks were rooted, as with many of the horrible things that occur in our society, in systemic white supremacy.

Very few outlets have made this connection, so I wanted to spell it out for all of you. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section.

Family,

In this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, we highlight the life of our FBA innovator and inventor Elija McCoy.

When we hear about black inventors, the information presented to us is normally relegated to George Washington Carver inventing peanut butter, but black excellence goes far deeper than something you spread on a piece of white bread (Not saying peanut butter isn't a big deal btw. I love a good PB&a...

Family,

We were taught all throughout grade school that the fact we aren't slaves anymore was because some "good" white folk stood up and fought against the racist South on our behalf out of the kindness of their hearts.

Like Maury Povich, in this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, we determine how that was, indeed, a lie.

Family,

When we think of the great military powers and minds that've existed throughout history, we typically think of the Romans, Napoleon Bonaparte, Alexander the Great, The Wehrmacht, General Patton (who had to give respect to his black tank battalion dubbed The Black Panthers), and the the Navy Seals.

Those individuals and groups I just named were able to achieve their military dominance because they weren't unde...

Family,

White power figured out a long time ago that it didn't need to engage in direct conflict to remain dominant--that a far more efficient way of going about business was to get others to do their dirty work for them, either through coercion or through outright sabotage.

It learned that if 2 or more groups it wanted to exploit were busy fighting each other, they would have the time or the resources to focus on it. F...

Despite what was taught to us in grade school, the North wasn't some racist-free safe haven for black people during slavery. Furthermore, there were several Sundown Towns scattered throughout what is known as the North. And, when it comes to contemporary racist policies, laws like stop and frisk originated in the North.

In this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, we challenge the conventional history about...

Family,

White supremacy is a cancer of this planet, and its putrid symptoms are many--including the destruction of the very environment we occupy.

If we want to leave a habitable planet for future generations, being environmentally conscious is a responsibility for every human being on this planet. However, we can't make any progress in that area w/o first addressing its root cause.

Family,

For my entire life, like you, I’ve heard time and time again that Irish people were slaves, too, just like black people — typically when black people bring up the topic of reparations.

In this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, we lay this myth to rest once and for all.

Greetings, Family,

One of the ways white supremacy has endured for as long as it has is because it relies on code speak. In doing so, it grants itself plausible deniability.

Those who practice it understand that you can’t openly refer to black people as n-words. That would incur too much outrage and pushback. What’s more socially acceptable are terms like “thug,” “hoodlums,” or “ghetto,” White supremacy understands that you c...

Family,

This is one of my older episodes, but the embedded message is still as pertinent as ever. Therefore, I thought a reupload would be constructive.

What are the different types of racists, and what roles do they serve in maintaining the white power structure? In this edition of the Poethnic Justice podcast, I break down the racial dynamics and how to identify someone who is diametrically opposed to the betterment of Bla...

Family,

Very seldom is the question ever asked, what exactly does it mean to be "white?" It's a concept widely accepted, but what exactly is a white person?

In this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, we explore the origins of "whiteness" and examine why this concept was developed in the first place.

Let's discuss.

Family,

Allow me to be clear about the title of today's edition. To answer the question posed in the title, ALL of America owes for the fact that the American Government was complicit in slavery, whether someone's family owned slaves or not.

That said, on an individualistic level, I want to highlight prominent public figures who can directly attribute both their social and financial success to the wealth and status s...

Family,

As was masterfully depicted by our Master Teacher Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, black male sexuality is seen as a threat to the dominant society, for the fact that melanated genes are dominant. Therefore, the dominant society takes special care to highly police and limit black male sexual access.

Also, they use their underlying fear of it as a justification to penalize and brutalize black men.

Family,

In this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, we examine the historical and current-day polices enacted by the Democrats that were and are of great detriment to black society.

Most black people are aware of the kind of racism that occurs on The Right. It's often blatant and out in the open. However, the Democrats present themselves as the "party of black people" and as their political advocates. How...
