Our World Our Time Ep mini 99 Buffalo Soldiers

June 02, 2023 20:17 - 34 minutes - 78.6 MB

First off, please forgive me for the sound quality. I didn't record the show the way I normally and luckily was streaming live on another platform. I had to basically record from the whole show from that site. With that being said, today's episode is about The Buffalo Soldiers. With being Memorial Day weekend this past weekend I had to do this about, to me, a highly overlooked piece of historic importance. Also, I toss out a question about those who are completely against gays and transgend...

Our World Our Time Ep mini 98 The Trung Sisters

June 02, 2023 20:01 - 22 minutes - 52.1 MB

Still playing catch up. Please excuse the mic mess up during the show, we were live, there's no retakes on live radio. This episode was supposed to be for Mother's Day. The story of The Trung Sisters is impressive and is a big deal in Vietnam, for better or worst. This is something that should be looked into. And I am still pushing for having June be the new Black History Month... Please understand my argument on this right here. Leave comments [email protected] Twitter: @Black_Cee...

Our World Our Time Ep mini 96 Chinese Parents Vs The School Board

May 25, 2023 19:04 - 38 minutes - 88.5 MB

It is easy to not so much forget but overlook that people who weren't Black in America but weren't White has their own battles for inclusion and equality. in the 1800s there was a Chinese Exclusion Act. Going to a school with white children fell under that act. A case in the 1880s challenged that act in the state of California. In the 1950s another case looked to change the way things were, this time in Mississippi. I also talk about Tina Turner and her impact in music. R.I.P to a true ico...

May 05, 2023 21:33 - 35 minutes - 82.1 MB

This episode we talk about how Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month came to be in May. I also talk about Star Wars Day as well as Martin Luther King Jr and Black History Month.

March 18, 2023 02:51 - 42 minutes - 97.8 MB

I am going on the expedition to New Mexico and have some reason to fear that I may be annoyed by some individual since I am a mulatta, and it is proper to protect my rights in such an eventuality by an affidavit showing that I am a free woman, unmarried and the legitimate daughter of Hernando, a Negro, and an Indian named Magdalena . . . . I therefore request your grace to accept this affidavit, which shows that I am free and not bound by marriage or slavery.  I request that a properly cert...

Our World Our Time Ep mini 86 Fredrick Douglas

February 11, 2023 01:46 - 24 minutes - 56.1 MB

The first show of Black History Month. I know I've said many times I would never, NEVER do an easy person like Fredrick Douglas. The thing is he is the main reason why we have Black History Month. Carter G. Woodson who I mistakenly called him Charles... Stain on me for that one. But Woodson wanted to celebrate Black excellence of that time. He then chose February because it was the birth month Douglas as well as Lincoln. Thanks for listening and do your own research and enjoy.  Blackceezar@...

January 13, 2023 19:04 - 14 minutes - 33.6 MB

This amazing story came across my timeline on social media, it was about Elizabeth Key Grinstead.

Our World Our Time Ep mini 77 Thriller 40th Anniversary

December 02, 2022 23:19 - 21 minutes - 48.4 MB

We all love Michael Jackson. For some it is The Motown Jackson 5 era, for some it is adult Michael. Even that has levels to it. One thing for sure what set his career to a different trajectory is Thriller. My Wednesday show fell on the same day as the album release 40 years ago. I had to make that the Black History Moment of the night. Does it qualify? Yes indeed, if you know you know. Thanks for listening and enjoy

Our World Our Time Ep mini 75 The Taíno People

November 11, 2022 21:27 - 57 minutes - 131 MB

The episode is kind of all over the pace. It is about the Taíno people, but I went off course as always. There's talk about politics and employment as well as inflation. I also speak on Hip Hop for a brief moment. If you're familiar with history of Christopher Columbus you know the Taíno people, maybe not by name but you know how things went for them. Thanks for listening and please do your own research. Enjoy. [email protected] Twitter: Black_Ceez Instagram: Blackceezarsonn

Our World Our Time Ep mini 74 Anthony Crawford

November 05, 2022 18:16 - 55 minutes - 128 MB

This episode may be the long one thus far. The reason is there was so much to talk about, get off my chest, that I came close to just not doing the Black History segment and was going to post it separate. From Politics to being pro Black to Ja Rule, yes that Ja Rule, there was a lot I spoke on. The story of Anthony Crawford is a sad one. Please do your own research and enjoy.  

Our World Our Time Ep mini 73 The Dahomey People

October 28, 2022 14:39 - 38 minutes - 89.1 MB

I had planned on speaking on this for awhile and never got around to it. The Dahomey people were unique for so many reasons. I can honestly say I do this piece of history no justice. You'd have to spend at the least an hour just talking about the beginning stages on what made Dahomey who they were. With that said, I want to say please go do your own research on these people. 

Our World Our Time Gotta Stop With Kanye

October 28, 2022 00:39 - 39 minutes - 89.7 MB

I said it before and I'll say it again, Kanye is half attention whore and mental patient. His name and actions get views and people talking but it doesn't help anyone. This is episode is a week late as far as posting this goes, but his movements make it just as relevant now as last week. Him being Black doesn't get a pass anymore.  We need to get him help or cut him off. 

Our World Our Time: The real Horror of Dahmer – Monster The Jeffrey Dahmer Story

October 14, 2022 17:28 - 32 minutes - 74.4 MB

Some didn't think the story of Jeffrey Dahmer should be told. The truth is it needs to be told and the way Netflix did it by including all shenanigans shows just how wild it all was. From gays to AIDS to just the lack of concern for Black people, it is all in play in this series. As of this recording I have yet to watch the last episode. get at [email protected] or leave a comment somewhere. 

Our World Our Time: She Hulk

October 14, 2022 17:06 - 24 minutes - 55.1 MB

The running joke, or insult has been The M She U because of all the female characters of late getting their own shows. She Hulk has just destroyed the MCU formula as well as the last few straws of those haters of the "Woke" shows ie anything with female leads. I had to talk about it after watching the whole season. Fell free to email me [email protected] or leave a comment somewhere.

Our World Our Time Ep mini 72 West Side Story

October 07, 2022 18:58 - 21 minutes - 49 MB

One of the greatest American plays of all time has to be West Side Story. The story behind the play is kind of unique. I mean the fact that it all changed because regional location is a bit different. I talk about some other stuff as well, but it is mostly about this play and how it was brought to the world.  

Our World Our Time No Inclusion Allowed

October 07, 2022 18:00 - 32 minutes - 74.4 MB

This episode is late because at one point I felt it was too long. I also felt it may be taken the wrong way, as much I completely feel and see the way entertainment become more racists and hating women hard. Just not looking to come off wrong. With that being said I said what I said and from where I sit I said it the way I see it.  email me [email protected]

Our World Our Time Ep mini 71 Tony Mendez

September 30, 2022 18:56 - 14 minutes - 32.4 MB

Some stories are so crazy that t it can't be real. Tony Mendez was part of the Canadian Caper, please look that up at some point. I also had an alternative motive to speak about Tony Mendez. That would be the film Argo where Ben Affleck portrayed Tony Mendez, a Hispanic man. I had a soapbox moment. With that being said I will do a whole different episode for a rant. As always do your own research and enjoy. Update: The recording the show as well as this episode came before the passing of Hi...

Our World Our Time Ep mini 69 Benkos Biohó

September 24, 2022 01:57 - 11 minutes - 25.6 MB

This is one of those history moments that I couldn't wait to rock with. The night of the show my mic messed up so I couldn't use the clip. With that being said, this just a nice different pace while still giving that history. Thanks to everyone who listens. Get at me [email protected]

Our World Our Time Ep mini 68 British Colonization

September 20, 2022 02:08 - 15 minutes - 34.4 MB

When The Queen died a lot of dirty laundry came out of the blue. Justified or not one thing is true, The British Empire was all over the place. The history books may curb the evil by saying that is how things went down back in those days, but it doesn't change the damage done. This is late but still something that should be check on. Do your own research and enjoy.

Our World Our Time Ep mini 67 Serena Williams

September 17, 2022 01:14 - 13 minutes - 32 MB

There is only one way to describe Serena Williams, and the is GREAT. Her legacy and wins should be the standard for greatness in tennis. Please do your own research on her and enjoy.  You can get at me [email protected] Twitter: Black_Ceez Instagram: Blackceezarsonn
