   Prisoners of War| Chocolate City| Income Tax featuring Jabari Zakiya

   Meet Jabari Zakiya, a seasoned engineer whose journey spans from the hallowed halls of Cornell to the innovative corridors of Georgia Tech, and even the celestial realms of NASA. Hailing from the vibrant streets of Washington, D.C. in 1955, Jabari's passion for engineering was ignited early on. However, his path took an unexpected turn when he found himself entangled in a legal battle, wrongfully accused of tax evasion. Refusing to succumb to injustice, Jabari adamantly maintained his innocence, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of literature. From Erwin Shift's "How Anyone Can Stop Paying Income Tax" to George Schuyler's "Black Empire," each page turned fueled his resolve to challenge the status quo. As he navigated through legal complexities, Jabari delved into provocative works such as Sam Greenlee's "The Spook Who Sat Next to the Door" and Benson's "The Law That Never Was," seeking insights into the intricacies of governance and power dynamics. Yet, his intellectual pursuits extended beyond the realm of literature. Engaging in spirited discussions with peers, Jabari explored concepts of home rule, taxation without representation, and the enduring legacy of slavery. Drawing parallels between ancient Kmt and contemporary society, he contemplated the evolution of societal structures and the role of individuals within them. Amidst these discussions, Jabari's passion for mathematics shone brightly, particularly in his fascination with the twin primes conjecture. As he grappled with complex equations, he found solace in the beauty of numerical patterns, transcending the confines of his circumstances. Through it all, Jabari's unwavering commitment to justice and intellectual exploration serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. In his quest for truth and understanding, he embodies the essence of perseverance and intellectual curiosity, inspiring those around him to challenge convention and embrace the pursuit of knowledge.

   Generational document: Black & Indian Connection Ft. Granny Gladys

   This podcast is based on the historical interaction between Native American and African-American communities, exemplified by events like the "Desire" ship's arrival and the Pequot Massacre aftermath. Through analysis and personal narratives, such as those shared in this episode featuring Granny Gladys, we can bring attention to hidden histories, confront systemic injustices, and work towards solidarity. This episode explores how division within these communities, perpetuated by racial classification and lateral violence, has deepened psychological trauma and hindered communal unity. It also delves into the impact of cultural erasure, exemplified by paper genocide, and its role in shaping a new social construct to subjugate marginalized groups. Division within Communities: Carl Linnaeus's racial classification system, initiated in 1735, contributed to the internal division within both Native American and African-American communities. By categorizing individuals based on physical traits, this system entrenched stereotypes and fueled self-identity issues, perpetuating self-destructive behavior and inter-community conflicts. In African-American corporate culture, the Willie Lynch Theory exacerbates competition and lateral violence, perpetuating inequality and hindering collective progress. Similarly, within Native American communities, stereotypes perpetuated by European colonization have led to internal divisions, with individuals aligning themselves with either the "good Indian" or "bad Indian" stereotypes. This tribalism fosters inequality, with those fitting the "good Indian" stereotype gaining access to resources and opportunities while those labeled as "bad Indians" face exclusion and marginalization. Paper Genocide and Cultural Erasure: Paper genocide, a tool of the racial power structure, aims to erase heritage and history to create a new social construct. This process, evident in historical assimilation efforts and the systematic removal of Indigenous and African identities, perpetuates confusion and indoctrination, further subjugating marginalized groups.
