Our World Our Time

This... This is a conversation piece for sure. The word Swarthy clearly means dark skinned and is an old timey word that has lost its usage. But way back in the day I mean Pre Civil War this word was used to describe many men and women. In fact it wasn't an insult but more like distinction device to separate Black people who were of European descent and slaves from Africa. As time has moved on. al...

When you think of The Grand Ole Opry you don't of many Black people if any right? Trust me you're not alone. This brother by the Deford Bailey had became a mainstay in The Grand Ole Pry.

When the term unsung pops up this is one of the faces you should see. Bayard Rustin... This man literally was The civil Rights Movement. From gay rights to Integration to people being treated fairly with wages and other things. His sexuality made him somewhat of a liability but not really. We also talk my childhood and how I was always on the grind. Please do your own research on Bayard Rustin and...

The Senegalese Tirailleur fought on behalf of France. I didn't say the name because I didn't want to butcher it, yeah I'm starting to pull back from just messing names up. With that being said, the fact that France had more soldiers in the war from Africa than the other European countries says a lot. I spoke briefly about those independent African nations that also joined to fight against Germany....

Been out here on some Public Enemy stuff hard as of late. This is me being on my soapbox talking about Memorial Day and how Black people not only started it but should embrace it. It's very hard for many of us as Black people to be patriotic and even if you knew how much we have given to this country that bitterness would still control our emotions. I'm not saying they're right or wrong, I'm sayin...

A form of the folding chair has been around for centuries, that is an absolute fact. The version we are talking about here is one that still is relevant today. You see it at games, churches, schools an many other places. Please do what research you can on Nathaniel Alexander and enjoy the show.

When you speak on accomplished MCs in the game Jay Z is one of those names that come to mind first. We speak on how Jay Z and all other relevant MCs from the 80s & 90s should get their respect.

You can hear Live At The Oasis live on legalcrimeradio.com Wednesday 8pm and Saturday 6p...

The influence of what The Black Panthers started in Oakland was felt world wide. This is a great example of that fact, The Polynesian Panther Party in New Zealand put in that work. Before I spoke about them I talked about the incident in Syracuse New York where a Black boy was not quite apprehended, more like in custody of the police for stealing a bag of chips. You know we talk about everything o...

In a celebratory mood for Ketanji Brown Jackson I put the Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month on for a quick run down of this historic moment. Please do some research on this woman and enjoy. 

This episode is about Mary Magdalene. I chose the picture from the mini series solely out of pettiness. I was not aware of the hate the show got for many biblical inaccuracies, one being a Black Mary Magdalene. That conversation/debate is something I can get into a later date. For now I'm talking about important Mary is to the concept of being saved in the belief of Christianity. Please do your re...

This post is from last year, before I even thought doing this podcast, and I never got around to posting this. It makes more sense to do so now with it being Women's History Month. This is about The Queen Mother Yaa Asantewaa of the Ejisu of The Ashanti Empire. Her father was exiled and she stepped and motivated her people stand up against The British in the late 1800s. Please do some research on...

Elsie B Washington is credited as being the author who gave the world the first Black romance novel. Please do some research on this lady and always enjoy the show.  

We can't, shouldn't, talk about Black History Month without speaking on Carter G. Woodson first. This idea started with him. I'm still not sure if I spoke on him last year, but this will something I will do every first show in February.  Feel free to leave a comment blackceezar@gmail.com

I just want to thank everyone who listens for listening. I'm still figuring some things out here and there so enjoy the ride.  You have any comments feel free to hit me up blackceezar@gmail.com

To a fault I'm one of those "Keep It Real" guys. I rarely like artists who are pop no matter what the music is. On my Wednesday night show I rock classic music and I rocked some music I really don't like. The reason was because those artists and their music kept Hip Hop relevant and on MTV as well as Top 40 radio. Love it or hate you can't deny that those artists had a major impact on the charts a...

The more you look into the history of Rock & Roll, the more you find so many names that aren't widely recognized. Sister Rosetta Tharpe is one of those names.

Please do some research on this lady and enjoy.
