Black FreeThinkers

Raina and I just wanted to update you all about a new show we plan to launch before the end of the year.I will resume this podcast. The first book to tackle is "The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover" and the inception of white Christian nationalism.My plan to launch a new project next year. I may touch on it in this podcast.

We NEED to respond to Mandisa and the BN affiliates response (non-response). Mandisa always talks about hating hypocrites and she is the bigget hypocrite of them all. I guess accountability and responsibility are for everyone but her. I couldn't make this up if I wanted to. They (Mandisa Lateefah Thomas and the BN Affiliates) are basically gaslighting YOU! The next round of gaslighting central will focus on restorative justice. Sikivu Hutchinson has already laid the groundwork to restore Mandisa to her rightful place of touch not thine anointed one. Raina and I have pointed out that Sikivu and many others are complicit.  Predators of any sort should not be tolerated. However, with some of these people, they want the same treatment given to white men in particular. They will do anything to maintain their proximity to whiteness. We've been warning you about this since 2012. You got angry with us, but that's fine too... We really need to talk about sex cults and the harm that they inflict. It's same type of setup that the church has in regards to venerating the leader and anyone who disagrees is disfellowshipped and tossed out like trash.  People who are leaving religion need a soft place to land, but that's not in someones bed. They have been manipulated and exploited enough. 

Please join Raina and Kim, Saturday, April 8, 2023 @ 1pm CDT, as they discuss religiosity and the mass incarceration system. Why isn't the secular community addressing these very real issues?  https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/04/12/523603112/alabama-senate-says-church-can-start-its-own-police-force https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/opinion/2019/09/05/opinion-why-we-should-concerned-alabamas-new-church-police/2198705001/ https://www.missioalliance.org/church-complicity-mass-incarceration/ https://religionnews.com/2020/11/16/new-book-examines-evangelicals-complex-approach-to-mass-incarceration/ https://news-archive.hds.harvard.edu/news/2017/10/13/christianity-race-and-mass-incarceration https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2020/07/17/religious-ideals-shaped-broken-us-prison-system-can-they-also-fix-it https://lawliberty.org/book-review/did-evangelicals-shape-americas-mass-incarceration/ https://truthout.org/articles/faith-communities-must-stop-funding-programs-that-reinforce-mass-incarceration/ https://abolitionjournal.org/mass-incarceration-is-religious-and-so-is-abolition/ https://www.aclu.org/news/smart-justice/ending-mass-incarceration-christian-imperative https://emi.odyssey-impact.org/ https://www.scranton.edu/faculty/dammerh2/ency-religion.shtml#:~:text=For%20centuries%2C%20churches%20were%20among,while%20being%20isolated%20from%20others.  

We don't even know where to begin, but we sure as hell know where it stops. 

Please join us as we discuss the current political and cultural climate in this country.  The Democrats are pushing a theme of unity and outreach. We can't afford to allow them to brush over what has taken place in this country since its inception. While some may feel that the Democrats are going to really push for change, we see that they are reaching out to groups of problematic whypipo who will never see or accept that Black people are human and deserve common human decency, dignity, and respect. How are we supposed to unify with people who are our enemies? We can't afford to continue to allow either party to continue to exploit and marginalize us anymore. However, it seems as though the Democrats are going out of their way to appeal to whypipo who will never accept them.  They seem more determined to find commonalities with people who hate them than with the Black people who have supported them for decades. The Democrats need to understand that even though we may not vote for the Republicans, we are not obligated to vote for them or vote at all. We owe it to ourselves to forge a new path while holding both parties, especially the Democrats, to account for their participation in our oppression. They both know exactly what they're doing.  We can't afford to let them forget about, turn away, explain away, or outright refuse our humanity and human rights. It's time to PUSH back hard. 

Dr. Jeffrey B. Perry (Jeff Perry) is an independant, working class scholar. formally educated at Princeton, Harvard, Rutgers, and Columbia. Volume 2 of his Hubert Harrison biography entitled "Hubert Harrison: The Struggle for Equality, 1918-1927" (Columbia University Press) was recently published in November 2020. Dr. Perry, an archivist, bibliophile, and historian, preserved and inventoried the "Hubert H. Harrison Papers" and helped to place them at the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Columbia University and to develop the "Hubert H. Harrison Papers, 1893-1927: Finding Aid." These efforts, contributed to making writings of Hubert Harrison freely-accessible worldwide via the Hubert Harrison Papers Digital Collection on the Columbia University Rare Book and Manuscript Library website.

When someone shows you who they are believe them! There's nothing cryptic about that statement coined by Maya Angelou. It's the truth! We have been warning you about the dangers and pathology of whiteness. Yet, you continue to tell us that it's not really that bad and they wouldn't never stoop to that level. What say you now? There is so much to unpack. The storming of the Capitol in DC and state capitol's should not have surprised you. They openly planned these events. They openly plan because they know that they will be shielded and the laws only apply to the others. We need to be very careful about what we advocate for because the new 'domestic terrorism' laws will be wielded much heavier on marginalized groups. This is another way for them to infringe upon our right to assemble and voice our dissent. Pay attention! I distinctly warned you about what was going to happen. They didn't just start planning these events. America's politics have been stuck in the slavery/civil rights mindset. The Southern strategy is still in effect. None of this has changed. A lot of this pushback and disdain from white domestic terrorists have been playing out since the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Ted Cruz himself stated the he was ready to make a deal along the lines of the Compromise of 1877. Listen to what these people are saying out loud and in public. I need you to pay more attention to what is going on around you. These white domestic terrorist are hiding behind their Bibles, guns, manifest destiny/God given rights, and the delusion that everything belongs to them and living a good life at the expense of others is the American way. Anyway, please call in 310-982-4273 and press 1.

Join us as we recap 2020. There's so much to unpack and understand. Where do I start? What do we do? Who is responsible for everything that happened? How do we move forward? Is 2021 going to be better?

Please join us tonight at 5pm CST as we discuss relationships, the election, mainstream organizations and movements, and life in general.  We predicted the 2016 election and we have thoughts about this one and it ain't looking good. What the hell is really going on around these parts?  Let's talk about it.

Please join us Sunday as we discuss what is happening in America and American politics. Why are you so surprised? These people tell you and show you exactly who they are.  You choose not to believe them. We continue to appeal to the emotions of people who do not see us as human. The degradation and dehumanization forced upon us has been happening so long that they, as well as some of us, see this as human.  We have to start changing how we think and devise additional ways in which to fight back.

Please join us Sunday at 1pm cdt as we discuss white lies, whitelash, and black lives.  History repeats itself and what we're currently experiencing is the time proven playbook of white people not being able to trick us into silence, obedience, and accomplices in their desperate attempt to keep & maintain power and control. The current political landscape is not new; however, tRump has thrown a few sucker punches that most Americans were not expecting and have no idea how to respond to. Between the overt ism's & phobias, most Americans are experiencing whiplash from watching the political parties sling mud, playing gotcha politics, and not being sure if anyone can be trusted.  Unfortunately, Covid had factored even more distrust in the political systems that are supposed to govern for us.  Feel free to dial in 310-982-4273 and press 1 to speak.

Please join us Sunday at 1:00pm cdt. Dear Black Church: Is tRump the REAL deal? I have some questions for you. I've been noticing the uptick in support from the Black church for tRump and I'm a tad bit curious about this recent change.  Black Republicans are welcome to call the show.  310-982-4273 and press 1

Please join us Wednesday at 6PM CDT as we discuss the politics of being a good person. Why are so many people obsessed with being seen as a good person?How does this play into respectability and civility politics?Why is it the so called 'good person' is usually the one in the middle of the majority of the conflicts, chaos, and drama? How does this happen?Do you see yourself as a good person? Why or why not?

Please join us as we discuss why it's a time for change.  We must understand that we're all different and that's fine.  However, we can't forget that even though we're different, we're still subjected to the same laws and treatment regardless of who we may think that we are. 

Please join us Wednesday at 6:00PM CDT as we talk about a number of issues that are being discussed in the black community. We'll talk about black influencers and their roles. How to tell the difference between posers and those who genuinely care about the black community. The black fetch & step mascots whose main job is to misdirect and confuse the black ommunity so that their white benefactors can continue to oppress the black community. The mascots are more than happy to play the part as long as they benefit financially and have the position as overseer of all things black per their definitions. Classism vs racism. Complicit black opportunists. So much to unpack.  See you Wednesday.

Please join us Sunday at 1:00pm CDT as we discuss a variety of topics.  Biden/Harris 2020 Is the Black community obligated to support the Democrats? How did they get our support in the first place? What exactly are the Democrats going to do for the Black community? Why is critical analysis of the candidates being discouraged and attacked? Black exceptionalism & White meritocracy Trump & Trumpism This guy... QAnon Tea Party Birtherism Stealing an election (The snake story is apropos) Domestic terrorism Kanye Black Vote Is the powerbase shifting? Will 60%+ of Black voters show up to the polls? Do we owe any of them anything? Are your opinions being shaped by Black people who are paid to influence your choices? Are Black people traditionally conservative? Are Black people skeptical?

Please join us as we discuss current events and what brought us to this point.

Please join us as we discuss how nothing has changed in many of these communities. They shift or regroup. Beware of the people who claim that things are changing and that we should wait and have 'faith' that things are going to get better. They've been telling us that same story for over 400 years. Don't fall for the tricks.

Atheist organizations and so called leaders are doing what they do best...absolutely nothing! Where are the statements condemning racism, police murders, vigilante lynch mobs harassing black folks, tRump declaring war on the protesters, etc.? Yet you want us to join your ranks and pay you membership fees. I stand by my past criticisms of you!

Please join us Sunday as we discuss the Coronavirus and it's impact on Black communities. Not only are we expected to maintain our daily lives (stress, illness, family life, finances, and much more), we are expected to continue to endure the dehumanizing manner in which we are treated. The white supremacist powers that be demand that we turn a blind eye to the atrocities that are visited upon us daily with glad tidings, a dance for the occasion and a song on our lips. How long do they expect us to endure the suffering? Why do our so called leaders continue to fail us? Why are we asking or begging to be recognized as human beings deserving of fair treatment, equal rights, economic justice, social justice, and so much more? When are we going to not only say enoough is enough, but demonstrate that we aren't going to take the abuse anymore?

Please join us this Sunday at 1PM CS as we discuss the coronavirus and its impact on black and brown communities. People are hoarding and falsely prescribing medications that are critical to people with immuno-comprised systems. tRump is demanding that everyone go back to work because the economy is more important than our lives. tRump is also punishing politicians, states and demographics that he considers belligerent, expendable, and redundant. People are being denied treatment for coronavirus due to a lack of insurance and not meeting ALL of the criteria set forth. What is happening in this country? Let's talk about it. Dial in 310-982-4273 and press 1 to speak with the hosts.

Please join us Sunday at 2PM CST as we discuss our current state of affairs in America. Resources to help you through these trying times. Perfect storm of infectious diseases, no anti-virus, siphoning medications used by at risk groups, stock market plunge, hoarding of well....everything. Trump roasting his own goose. Just maybe he won't win re-election. Democrats being democrats and ignoring their base. Power of the American people. You can dial 310-982-4273 and press 1 to speak with the host.

Please join Jacob Eaton and myself today as we discuss Neoliberalism, 2020 Election, Coronavirus, and Americanism. We'll be discussing a myriad of different views about why this happening at this time. You can join the conversation by dialing 310-982-4273 and press 1 to talk with the hosts.

Please join us Sunday as we discuss the great kakistocracy taking place in America. George Clinton says, "For the dog that chases its tail will be dizzy." This is what's happening to whypipo in America. Many of them are trying to figure out what's happened and how did they get to this point in their lives. You did it to yourselves. You created this reality that is crushing you and causing you such great sorrows. Feel free to call in to the show: 310-982-4273 and press 1 to talk.

Please join us Sunday at 1PM CST as we discuss how Michael Bloomberg and Donald Trump are making it rain for Jesus. I reckon that these two billionaires, well one billionaire and the other one plays one on reality television, can pass through the eye of a needle. While many of you are looking to the hills from whence your help comes, your pastors, musicians, and leaders are selling indulgences and making merchandise of you. The line between having faith that God will supply your needs and your blessings are stored in heaven are being blurred and decimated by those who want their rewards now by any means necessary. Rewards that they have no plans on sharing with you. Feel free to call in to share the good news about how Bloomberg and Trump are instruments of God working for the good of those who love the Lord.  Call 310-982-4273 and press 1 to talk.

Please join us as we discuss Progressives, Democrats, and the swarm of flies that are buzzing around. Some people say that you can get more flies with honey than vinegar. Truthfully, you can attract the most flies with big, steamy piles of sh*t. Both ruling class establishment parties have been dumping on the Black and #NBPOC communities from the very beginning and I don't see it ending any time soon. They have not pushed any meaningful, long standing laws or policies that are long overdue to the Black community. Why do we continue to support them? The mass media is very responsible for the 3 ring circus that we are currently navigating. So, let's help them out. We should start trolling them back. They started it. As I have stated before, we should strive to “Be Best.” I have some suggestions for 2024. I'll delve into that more on the show.

Please join us as we kickoff 2020: The Year of "Be Best!"  It's of my opinion that this should be a superlative year. Good is not good enough, better is not good enough, we must strive to 'be best.' I'm taking cues, while watching in horror, from the orange tater tot, politicians, and the other wypipo in America.  We should strive to take things to a new level and show the world how to 'be best.' "The base" is planning on being their very best in Virginia protesting the gun laws. Jerry Falwell Jr. is going to 'Be Best" as he calls for civil disobedience in Virginia because of gun laws. Even 'being best' is soaked and drenched in white pathology. You can 'be best' if you have the right complexion. It's 'being best' if you sale your country to the highest foreign bidder. Hell, you may even give it away for free if they promise to say nice things about you. You are 'being best' when you subject poor countries with economic terrorism, and the promise of missiles and bombs if they dare to protest. You are 'being best' if you encourage protesters in other countries while simultaneously punishing American protesters who are protesting the maltreatment in your own country.  I'm going to 'be best' every chance I get. 

Please join us as we welcome Shawnee Williams of Illinois Equity Staffing. Marijuana is now legalized in Illinois and several states. We want to inform you how to become an equity partner and owner of a dispensary, become an infuser, cultivater, disposal service, and more.  The possibilities are endless. If you a person of color and looking for new business opportunities, you should definitely contact Illinois Equity Staffing and see how they can assist you.  Shawnee Williams is a recruiter & Account Executive with background in biz ops, sales and recruiting. MS in Business with over 30 hours of coursework in the Cannabis field. Chicago born, and yet somehow has lived in 8 states.

Happy New Year! It's so much to talk about.  I'm not even sure where to start. Please feel free to call in. I'm going to talk about current events, reparations, the cheddar tater tot, and more. I may shed some light on what I have planned for this year.

Something Wicked This Way Comes...   What's really happening in this country? What's going on with Kanye? Communes, Bibles, Pimping ain't easy ...Black tax ...White pathology ...White Christians ...Anti-blacknessEtc Let's talk about it.

In Rebuilding Black Communities, With Love, Dr. Annalise Fonza summarizes what she has learned about the rebuilding of former black ghettos and predominantly black neighborhoods and communities in urban cities. It is both, a proposal and a love letter that builds on about twenty years of experience as an urban planning scholar and educator. With this brief epub she reflects on the motivations and familial legacy of Ollie Gates in Kansas City, Missouri. Gates is the owner of Gates Bar-B-Q, a world-renowned business. It is also a book that Dr. Fonza has dedicated to the memory of John Lee Johnson, who was a major catalytic force in redeveloping the North End of Champaign-Urbana, or an area where black residents of Champaign-Urbana were "allowed" to live. The North End is/was also spatially situated right across the street from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Dr. Fonza learned, first-hand, about community and economic development from Mr. Johnson as a graduate student at UIUC, and at a time when she was an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church. If the development of former black ghettos, or predominantly black communities and neighborhoods is something that interests you, then this book is definitely worth the read. Join me as I interview Dr. Fonza on Black Freethinkers

Please join us as we welcome Dr. Christopher Cameron back to the show.  We will discuss his new book, "Black Freethinkers: A History of African American Secularism (Critical Insurgencies)."  You can purchase his book on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, Northwestern University NU press, and other venues.   We're excited to discuss this exciting and much needed book.

Are you paying attention to what's happening around the world? The uprisings, rebellions, protests, and revolutions are happening and the mainstream media has been virtually silent. Why is that? Will the American people ever stand up for themselves? Are you prepared for the impending fallout and chaos? What will it take to make you question and challenge the statuus quo?

Give these wypipo back 'their' god.

Give these wypipo back 'their' god.

Happy Festivus! For the rest of us!   I have so much to be appreciative of, but also so many things to be disappointed about as well. Let's have some fun.

Please join us Sunday as we go over a number of issues that have taken place recently. Marc Lamont HillTamika MalloryWhite FolksBlack public figures and white expectations & demandsCyntoia BrownJeffrey EpsteinReparationsGeorge HW Bush45 WASPing seasonMuch more...

Whypipo requirements to feel comfortable around black folks. There is so much to unpack, I'm not sure where to begin. I'm probably going to be all over the page, so just try to keep up. This is in no particular order. I may not even get to it all. I intended to have a positive, optimistic attitude and then life happened White folks who feel like they have ownership over black folks. Michelle (Destiny's Child) - Run, Michelle, run!!! White women being white women Vote Shaming White women voting FOR their best interests (some of US got that shit twisted) White women turning themselves black and exotic Irresponsible media Shutup Bernie Shutup Kim (me) more...

Please join us Sunday as we discuss a number of topics. Some whypipo are seriously slipping into darkness and attacking our communities. This has been a common occurrence in black communities and we weren't believed. However, it seems to be escalating and more targeted. We can no longer sit back and watch as this continues to happen. Some of you will say that we've seen times such as this before and made it through it. What about the people and families who were hurt, harmed and killed? Are you negating their experiences because it didn't happen to YOU? How have your prayers and faith stopped any of these acts of terror? Do you truly believe that your faith, resolve, prayers, positive thoughts, good vibes, etc. worked to stop people from harming and killing us? What's next? Why must we forgive those who mean us nothing but harm? What do we get from allowing people to continue to transgress against us? Why do some of us run to the first camera available to publicly forgive someone who doesn't think twice about harming us? Many don't want our forgiveness, but we insist anyway. Why is it that when whypipo do irreparable harm to black people, the first thing they do is send for our pastors? When this type of harm is done by whypipo to other whypipo, they don't call for the pastor...why is that?

Please join us Sunday as we discuss a number of problematic narratives fueling the white evangelical community. There is so much to discuss that I'm not sure where to begin.  White Christian Fragility: Fear and power.White Christian Radio Silence: Silence on keeping black and brown babies in cages.White Christian Open Secret: Racism disguised as patriotism.What would Jesus do?: Praying for RBG's death.White Evangelicals getting played: Trump's lies about the Johnson AmendmentWhite Christian Anti-Trump Brigade: Touring the country.White Christian reinvented: Spin and rinse. What are you thinking Kanye? Pathologizing the black community with false negative tropes will not make you an honorary white man. Donald Trump is not your daddy. Please stop with the tofu dashiki madness. Capitalism and white supremacy in black face will not work or save the black community. However, I strongly suspect that you're only trying to save yourself. 

Please join us as we speak with Jay Colby, founder of The Black Detour. We'll discuss independent media and why it's needed given our current socio-political environment.  The Black Detour is an independent media outlet that advocates for Black people to not only be empowered but informed on issues in the Black community. We’re part of a growing movement in America to empower Black people all across the United States. At our core, we stand with Black people and want our voices, opinions, and thoughts heard. Jay Colby is a writer, journalist, and entrepreneur. Jay founded The Black Detour to not only change the often negative perception of Black people in mainstream media but to create a space where Black people can voice their opinion freely. He is also a college graduate and has dedicated his life to helping the disenfranchised.  We want to encourage independent journalism and this is a step in the right direction. You can find them on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook as well. 

Please join us as we discuss the Groveland Four with Carol Greenlee (daughter of wrongly convicted Charles Greenlee).  Earnest Thomas, Charles Greenlee, Samuel Shepherd and Walter Irvin were accused of raping a 17-year-old white woman in Lake County, Florida in 1948. They were convicted of a crime, minus any evidence, by an all white jury. In November 1951, NAACP Special Counsel Thurgood Marshall had the death penalty verdicts overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. The four men were posthumously exonerated on April 18, 2017 by a resolution passed by the Florida House of Representatives. The state also apologized to their families for the racial injustice of the case, and lawmakers called on Florida Governor Rick Scott to officially pardon the men. Please contact the Florida Clemency board to see a pardon for the four young men who were wrongly accused and convicted of a crime that they didn't convict. You can find more resources and help to amplify this tragedy by using #PardonGrovelandFour.  Recommended reading: Gilbert King's "DEVIL IN THE GROVE."   Gary Cosair's “Legal Lynching: The Sad Saga of the Groveland Four.” PBS Documentary: The Groveland Four.

Please join us as we discuss Christine Blasey Ford and the Senate hearing for Brett Kavanaugh. There's so much to unpack, that it's difficult to know where to begin. We will also discuss the very obvious display of white male privilege and entitlement.  We will also contrast the difference between this hearing and the one for Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas. It's very important to understand the distinct difference between the two. White womanhood and Black womanhood are two very different worlds. Just like Black childhood versus White childhood are very very different worlds. We'll talk about those differences and why they matter. 

Please join us as we discuss the current state of the church. You have people leaving in droves, leadership openly rebelling against the Bible they profess to believe, pastors and leadership openly telling you to submit and obey the authority of deviants, pastors and leadership that are money hungry and on power trips, and so much more. When are you going to stand up and speak up? There is no way that you can convince me that you believe that this type of leadership is acceptable.

Please join us as we talk about the Aretha Franklin funeral, black church, outdated traditions of the black church, church hurt, #metoo, dismissal of black women, misogyny, black children, and much more. It's time for the black church to re-evaluate some of it's long standing traditions and expectations. I'm going to cover a number of things, so please take time to listen carefully and give some feedback.  You can email me: blackfreethinkers@gmail.com.  I'm looking forward to hearing from you. I'm going to talk about a few other things as well...

Please join us as we discuss the aggrieved white men in America who feel that they are being discriminated against because of their gender and whiteness. Some of them believe that women & the black/brown people need to be put back in their place in the proper hierarchy. Also, they need to ensure that they keep their white dominance in the hierarchy of power and control. We can't have too many immigrants and refugees disrupting the balance. The mental gymnastics to justify and rationalize their belief systems has astounded me over the years and I continue to watch with amazement at the sheer ignorance and fear driven politics. 

Please join us as we discuss why some white progressives, moderates, liberals, and allies are problematic and complicit with white supremacy. When you attempt to explain why their silence or their encouragement of you being silent is violent, here comes the conditional support, tears, and accusations of you not being a team player or understanding the 'sacrifices' that they have made to just be your friend and 'be seen in public' standing by your side. The dial in number is 310-982-4273 and press 1 to talk about the subject matter.

Please join us today as I try to play catch up and update you on a few things. You know how we do, I'm just going for it. What more evidence do you need that making moral arguments mean nothing to people who have a totally different definition of morality than yourself? What do you say when their white privilege means more to them than their God or holy book? How do you respond to the silent moderate, liberal, and progressive so called 'good' whites who remain silent in the face of the wicked white supremacy that's on full display? How do you justify the actions of the so called 'good' white politicians who secretly agree with the changes that are being made by 45? They are too cowardly to say anything in public, but their voting records tell the REAL story. Ooh Wee! So to say and so little time. I'm going to start taking calls again, unless you on that bullshit...

Please join us Sunday as we break down Kanye's latest sophistry. There is so much to catch up on. Reuter's took a poll that indicted that Black men support for Donald Trump doubled after Kanye announced his new ideaology of freethought. Let's examine that and more. There have been a number of think pieces written about Kanye's declaration that slavery is a choice. If you refuse to read a book, at least fund a few libraries in disadvantaged neighborhoods.  The dial in number is 310-982-4273 and press 1 to talk to the host.
