July 21, 2017 13:15 - 1 hour - 71.3 MBwww.bittermedicineblogs.com -- Today’s episode discusses the shift in recent years, within our education system, away from traditional disciplinary actions (counseling, detention etc.) when students misbehave in school, to suspensions, expulsions, and law enforcement to punish students.

July 18, 2017 07:02 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MBwww.bittermedicineblogs.com - First, thank you all for checking out our previous podcast, the Black Empowerment review of "War for the Planet of the Apes". Much respect for all the views, shares, likes and comments. We really appreciate that. Today's show is about low energy individuals and their impact on Black society.

War of the Planet of the Apes Movie Review
July 15, 2017 06:57 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MBWar of the Planet of the Apes continues the portrayal of racial politics and stereotypes that have long fueled the franchise and are still very present in Hollywood. It is easy to see how the discrimination the apes face in the movie allude to the long-held stereotype that likens Black people to apes, and the War of the Planet of the Apes appears to be the latest popular culture portrayal of race relations in America. War of the Planet of the Apes is a mix of history lesson and cautionary ...
We Need to Replace the Jury System
July 07, 2017 05:06 - 15 minutes - 14.4 MBwww.bittermedicineblogs.com - The Jury system is utterly flawed, but you probably already knew this. Black folks are oppressed by the system of white supremacy in all facets of life, especially in the so called justice system. But did you know that, as it stands, Black jurors are 2 - 3 times more likely to be struck from jury selection? Or that in many states, 4 out of 5 qualified blacks get struck from serving? Why is this the case? Because white people want it this way to satisfy certain "...
Dear White People Stop Being Morons
June 29, 2017 17:24 - 17 minutes - 16.5 MBDear White People, We review how black children are likely to be treated differently than their white peers solely based on race. Specifically, black children are not seen as innocent and in need for protection. Thus, black children have been dehumanized. This outlook is true of white adults and worse still: Cops do it too. This explains a lot when we look at the harming of Black children by Cops and other practitioners of white supremacy. Today's show briefly discusses circumstances arou...

Happy Juneteenth! But We Have Questions
June 20, 2017 04:09 - 11 minutes - 10.8 MBToday is Juneteenth. June 19, 1865 marked the end of slavery for slaves in the South, even though Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation 2.5 years prior in 1863. The reason it took 2.5 years?

June 20, 2017 02:49 - 20 minutes - 18.3 MBDedicated to Father's Day, we wanted to look at and debunk the myth of a Black Father crisis.
