This episode is entitled: Ode/Owed to Renee - America’s Debt to Black Women

Malcolm X said, “The most disrespected person in America is the Black Woman. The most unprotected person in America is the Black Woman and the most neglected person in America is the Black Woman.”

And yet, if the truth be told, America does not even exist except for the Black Woman. There would be no United States, there would be no America,  if it weren’t for the Black Woman…Its just that simple. 

I would like for you to consider this poetic observation.

Racism is Dead is a poem written by TyGrayEL with a scathingly sarcastic twist on the state of Race in America. This Episode points to specific politicians who continually look straight in the face of Americans and lie to them. Specifically how, on April 28th, 2021 Senator Tim Scott, Vice President Kamala Harris and current President Joe Biden all took the stage on national television and said, "America Is Not A Racist Country"

It points to the fact that, indeed, the United State Constitution has racism written into it from its inception to its current amendments. From the three fifths human declaration about Black people, to the Clause in the 13th amendment, which presently provides for every State to enslave human beings. 

Ty's seminal poem, "We Must Never Forget-A Poetic Case For Reparations is recited and Lightnin' Gray reminds us of the debt America owes to its formerly enslaved Africans with story laced with color entitled: Poseidon Scales and The Rare Blue Pearl

'Yet Still We Rise 'starts with the recitation of the poem "My Mother Said" and features an episode from the Historical Adventures of Lightnin' Gray, where he enthralls us with the Legend of Mabel May Dupree-Midwife of the Fields.

This show makes one do a double-take and cast serious aspersions on America  and how she gained its wealth through the breeding of Black human beings.    

This podcast shines a glaring light on the state of Race in America and just how far we are away from unity in these yet-to-be-United States. It is an audio treatise on the resilience, intestinal fortitude and the sheer pluck of formerly enslaved, African American Black People.
