  • Know Your Enemy: The Evolution of Racism | Professional Development 2021
    The race problem has plagued America since its inception. Some would say the seeds of extreme prejudice and dehumanization go back just over 2,000 years ago to the Roman Empire. In this course we travel back to 15th century Europe and trace solid roots of modern day racism. Upon completion of this course you be able to clearly identify the continuity and consistency of systematic prejudice that we presently call racism/white supremacy.
    This course is taught from the lens of a black man who grew up in the whitest city in the United States, attended an HBCU, and came back home with a consciousness that couldn’t help but notice the glaring difference between the two environments. For the past seven years I (that black man) have made it my life’s mission to definitively answer the questions; “What is racism?” “Why does it exist? And “How do we constructively counter this overwhelmingly destructive system?
    This course, Know Your Enemy: The Evolution of Racism will reveal many truths about white supremacy that have been hidden in plain sight, but hidden nonetheless. This course provides an education on Western (white) culture unlike anything you’ve ever seen or heard. We will tap into the bare naked truth of the systematic oppression, subjugation, exploitation, and extermination of non-white inhabitants of the globe.
    If you or your organization are interested in taking part in this course email me at [email protected] | Enter "Course" in the subject line. In the body enter your name and number. I will contact you to further discuss details of the curriculum and moving forward to enroll individually and/or partner with your organization.

  • Ep. 162 - Capitol Siege
    On January 6th, 2021 thousands of Trump supporters descended on Capital Hill and stormed Congress like an angry lynch mob. A police officer was killed and a Trumper was shot and a few others were trampled to death. They thought they were going to stop the process of approving the electoral college votes, but they failed once again. Big sore loser energy turned into a quasi-insurrection...
