https://www.bittermedicineblogs.com – On today’s show we have a discussion with Karl Hezekiah, Curator of the Bitter Medicine Book Club, about the June reading “King Leopold’s Ghost” by Adam Hochschild.
About the Book: King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa (1998) is a best-selling popular history book by Adam Hochschild that explores the exploitation of the Congo Free State by King Leopold II of Belgium between 1885 and 1908, as well as the large-scale atrocities committed during that period. The book succeeded in increasing public awareness of these Belgian colonial crimes. –Wikipedia You can still join the discussion!

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.

https://www.bittermedicineblogs.com – On today’s show we have a discussion with 52 Blocks practitioner, Diallo Frazier. We discuss his book “The Tao of 52: The Discovery of the Lost Science. About the Book: “The Tao of 52 is one of the first books of its kind to give the history and philosophy of the Afrikan-Amerikan combat system 52 Blocks. 52 Blocks is the combat system that was developed during slavery, mastered in prison and perfected on the streets. The Tao of 52 gives the reader a complete insight into the history and mystery of 52. For many years there has been talks, whispers and sighting of 52 Blocks. This book gives the reader a simple, direct and dynamic look into the lost science of 52. The Tao of 52 is a salute to the champions of 52 past and present, from Dennis Newsome who taught Mel Gibson 52 for the first Lethal Weapon, Big K who championed 52 in the book "Street Kingdom", Daniel Marks and the Constellations movement and Lorenz Tate using 52 in the movie Gun Hill. This book was written to give 52 Blocks a recorded history, philosophy and code of conduct so it may be excepted as a credible martial arts system created by Afrikan-Amerikans.”
Purchase the book on Amazon: https://goo.gl/mVtVZp About the Author, Diallo Frazier: Diallo Frazier has found a system that combines urban street smarts with practical applications to protect yourself. His methods instills the confidence to handle a situation with relative ease once the principles are applied. Diallo Frazier was among the nation’s most elite gang “enforcers” for all of his adult life. He wound up in that dangerous position because after growing up in the violence of the Chicago ghettos, he learned to be better than everyone else at fighting. His first job was in debt collection, enforcing the rules and doing anything that needed to be done to protect and keep the gang strong. In this pursuit, Diallo Frazier became a skilled fighter because he was clued in to a highly secretive street fighting system tightly guarded by the elite street gangs in the U.S. Diallo Frazier learned and mastered street fighting early on, and it allowed him to become a top enforcer.
