This week we are going back in the way back machine to the best decade of all time. The 90's. After what has been going on in California the last month or so, I felt it was appropriate to look at a time in history when we saw this happen before.

There is a lot that went into the events of April 29th 1992 and the days that followed. Years of abuse and exploitation, racism and stereotyping had the black community at it's wits end. Imagine you are just trying to live day to day but are constantly harrassed for the way you look.

In the 3 years before the riots over 50,000 people had been arrested simply because of where they lived. Then a young black girl was killed for no reason, and a black man was beaten severely with no one being held responsible. And people were tired.

We are back! Thank you so much to our fans who are still here with us while we were off. Thank you to everyone who reached out after the passing of my brother, your love was very much appreciated.

So this week we are looking at an event I did not pay much attention too at the time, I had just graduated high school a week prior. But you'd have to be an alien to not know the name Killdozer.

This is the story of a man who felt like everyone was against him and it was his god given duty to make them pay for their sins against him. So he bought a bulldozer and made it a tank so he could destroy those who had been against him.

May 5th is MMIW Awareness Day and June 6th is MMIM Awareness day but everyday indigenous people go missing and their cases are thrown to the side.

This is what happened with Benita Long when she went missing in March of 2022 from a motel in Washington state. At first police were not concerned due to her past history, and by the time they actually cared to investigate it was far to late.

If you or anyone you knows knows anything about the disappearance of Benita Long call the Yakama Nation Police at 509-865-2933 and refer to case number 22-004079.

WARNING: This episode contains discussion of animal murder and a school bombing.

This week as we enter Pride month we take a look at someone no one should have any pride in. Andrew Kehoe was known as impatient and frugal, but also a helpful neighbor.

But a time came when he felt that the town no longer deserved his kindness but instead his rage. And that is when he planned to take his anger out on the people of the small community he called home by striking at the one things that meant the most to them; their children.

It seems there is a lot of vitrol and hate towards anything showcasing black excellence now adays on social media. This includes figures from history.

Known as the black Samurai we do not know much about the man known simply as Yasuke. But there was nothing simple about him. The very sight of this man sent communities into a frenzy and people lost their lives trying to catch a glimpse of him.

But what he did next still shocks people to this day. After confirming this man had not bathed in a vat of ink, one of the most powerful rulers in feudal Japan took him under his wing.

And as sad I am that Chadwick Bosman will not be bringing his story to life, we should soon see his story play out on the big screen.

This week we are going to be looking at a society that should be long dead but has had a revival of sorts recently.

Founded in the early 1900's as a study group, the Thule society quickly became German Supremacy group, one that heavily targeted the Jewish community.

And they are still spreading their hate today. If you are up for a mind bend, click on their link below to get a sense of what they are all about.

We got quite a short one this week, but it's a been more fun then what we have covered recently.

Having been born into slavery, Bass Reeves was finally able to escape his captors and made his way to live with the natives. They taught him their language, their culture and their skills on the land.

When freedom finally came for all black people, Bass was tapped to be a US Marshal due to his skills and knowledge. And even though he never learned to read or write, he never got the wrong man.

This week we are going to do something different. We are going to be looking at the case of a missing person that needs attention.

On the night of Thanksgiving 2016 Cole Thomas went missing from an intersection in Benson NC during a road trip with two co workers.

The investigation has uncovered the real reason for the road trip, but they have yet to locate Cole or any clue that could lead to his where abouts.

4 men know what happened to him that cold night, but they are not talking. Someone out there knows something and I hope that his dad can learn the truth before the ten year anniversary of his disappearance next year.
