    Media, Messenging, and Manipulation
    Oct 1 2024

The media is also responsible for the messenging about what we say and do or even if the stereotypes are made up.

  • What Are You Getting For Your Vote?

    What Are You Getting For Your Vote?
    Aug 25 2024
    As a community in the U.S. and in the diaspora; what are you getting for your vote? Are politicians making good on their political campaign promises to us as a community? If you are not getting anything for your vote, then why are you voting? Where are the laws to protect me as a black man, but there is an Asian Hate Law to protect the Asians and they did not build this country or go through the things that black people have in this country. The politicians do more for corporate America than they do for the American people. What are you getting for your vote...laws, money for the community, programs, etc. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thechocolatelife/support

  • The Origin of Political Anti-Blackness

    The Origin of Political Anti-Blackness
    Aug 25 2024
    The origins of political anti-blackness began from the 1613 play The Triumph of Truth by Thomas Middleton. It was in this play that brought about the beginning of this thing called race. Middleton used the word "White" for the 1st time as the ruling class. Later on in the 1600s there were laws created against black people like the 1639 No Armed Negro Law, 1640 John Punch Decision, and the 1670 Negro Slave Child Law which escalated into the slave codes, Jim Crow, Segregation, and Blue Lives Matter. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thechocolatelife/support

Eisnehower in his last address stated that there was a military industrial complex and how the average politician is not going to be for the people. He was basically talking about later generations of politicians being bought and paid for by corporations. Is Kamala Harris the next Manchurian Candidate or were Donald Trump and Joe Biden Manchurian Candidates? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thechocolatelife/support
