روایتی که در اپیزود پنجم پادکست داکس براتون تعریف میکنم مربوط میشه به یکی از بزرگترین ستمها و کشتارها در تاریخ بشریت که علیرغم بزرگی فاجعه خیلی کم بهش پرداخته شده. این روایت مربوط میشه به دوره سیاه و تاریکی که کشور کنگو زیر استعمار کشور بلژیک بود. 1.

King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild is the story of how King Leopold II of Belgium used violence and coercion to gain control of the Congo. In this review, I discuss how on a larger scale the book also provides a perspective on how various European powers carved up Africa for their own gain.

https://www.bittermedicineblogs.com – On today’s show we discuss the sickness a lot of Negroes suffer from: the "We's Sick Boss?!" Syndrome. In response to recent high-profile white celebrity deaths (Anthony Bourdain & Kate Spade), we see the excessive outpouring of grief from Negroes in the Black community. Granted, Black folks are the most empathetic people on the planet, but this is pathetic and one-sided. It's called the "We's Sick Boss?!" Syndrome. Feeling obligated to speak for, defend, and mourn Whites, more than they do for themselves, is a mental illness some have in the Black community. Malcolm X spoke about it 50+ years ago; Dr. Claud Anderson speaks about it today. Fix it now, or else we will lose in the future too. Listen to learn more.

https://www.bittermedicineblogs.com – On today’s show we discuss Psychology and Advertisements. Ads play on your feelings or emotions by creating positive associations between the product and our behaviors going forward. Emotions are natural; however, very dangerous. Because people rely on emotions, rather than information (mental), to make brand decisions, the emotional responses to ads are more influential on a person’s intent going forward, than on the content of an ad. Advertisers play on your emotions to control your behaviors going forward. So, what does this have to do with white supremacy? Well the ganger rap/rappers that they push in our community, plays to our emotions: We listen at gatherings, events, cookouts etc.—places and situations where we are happy. It’s not all whitey’s fault! Our people must do better in order to save our community. Listen to learn more. Our June reading for the book club is "King Leopold's Ghost" by Adam Hochschild.
