Fast Past

The 13th amendment, the top hat, and the getting shot in a crowded theater. What more can we say about "Honest Abe"? Quite a bit actually! There's some odd family stuff, something about a cow, and Lin-Manuel Miranda conspiracies? You know what? History is weird...

In the state of Oklahoma, in the city of Tulsa, the African American community prospered until one little mistake... one accident occurred which led to violence against the community. The attacks were horrific and swift. The entire community crumbled. This is one of, if not THE most violent race riot in the history of the United States. This is the Tulsa Race Massacre.

We're back from our surprise break. We didn't want to post during the height of the Black Lives Matter Movement and protests so as to not detract from their meaning. But now as coverage begins to die down the fight isn't over. This episode is a look at the inherent racism that founded the country and the hypocrisy that runs rampant through it. Maybe if we come together and educate ourselves on these topics we can make a difference. This is just one way to help.

History repeats itself every single day. Sometimes it shouldn't. A lot of the time it shouldn't. Now more than ever we need to learn from mistakes of the past to create a better future.

A man seen as a Robin Hood-esque character is brought to light and shown that he is not as romantic as his story implies. A murderer, thief, and gang leader. This infamous highwayman committed many terrible acts and should not be made into a romantic hero anymore.

This Taco Tuesday is Cinco de Mayo. But why do we celebrate it in the US? Isn't it the Mexican Independence Day? No the heck it's not, ya dummy. It's the celebration of the battle of Puebla. Join us and find out why it's worth celebrating.

The day that will live on in infamy is a horrible thing. But did it really go down the way the history books say or are we missing pieces. Join us as Megan uncovers some omitted facts and statements of what had actually happened leading up to and on that day. Also we get a little political... a lot political. TLDR: Hyper-nationalism is bad.
