Greetings Comrades & Fellow Travelers,

Most of us were taught that American Black Slaves spoke with this lazy, ignorant, and almost incoherent drawl when they spoke.

However, in this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, we debunk the myth that slaves were inarticulate. Furthermore, we discover that many of them were brilliant writers and wordsmiths, which, at the end of the day, is why learning reading and writing was so severely punished.

The Black Slaves of North America DID NOT talk like stroke victims, and they achieved incredible literary feats despite being barred from writing and reading by the white supremacists.

We were told that they were mush-mouthed morons for a reason--for the purpose of further dehumanizing them and minimizing American slavery as the greatest crime in human history.

Let's get into it.

One Love & One Justice,

The Stormy Poet

✏️Hello All,

✏️My pen name is The Stormy Poet. I'm a published author, educator, and literary enthusiast.

✏️I created the Poethnic Justice Podcast because I believe literature has the power to transform society and that it's a powerful tool against the system of racism/white supremacy. Science shows the practice of engaging in literature, daily--reading and writing--expands our capacity for empathy, enhances our creative brain, sharpens our investigative skills, and increases our ability to think critically. It's these kinds of qualities that are instrumental in combating the inhumanity, barbarity, dishonesty, and low-level thinking systemic racism produces.

✏️Poethnic Justice is a space that utilizes the power of literature against injustice. It is an audio and visual extension of the written social commentary of my Eye Wall platform (https://thestormypoet.medium.com), and I use a combination of self-voiced commentary and audio overviews of the essays I compose.

✏️Thank you for taking time out of your day to tune in. If you've found what you've heard to be enriching, informative, practical, and empowering, please consider purchasing some of my published works or making a financial contribution to this platform (any dollar amount). This type of media only exists because of you, The People.

✏️Also, you're welcome to view my free audiobook on YouTube and wherever you get your podcast. It narrates a practical solution on how black people and those willing to pick up the fight alongside them can effectively and completely eradicate systemic racism/anti-black white supremacy from society: Code of Conduct Suggestion Guide for Surviving, Comprehending, and Fully Dismantling Systematic Racism/White Supremacy: For Descendants of Freedmen (DOF): https://linktr.ee/getoncode

Comrades, Friends, and Fellow Travellers,

On this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, we celebrate the #2026newyear by highlighting a longstanding tradition held by Foundational Black Americans.

Many FBAs ring in the new season by preparing and eating black-eyed peas, collard greens/and or cabbage, and cornbread. But, today, we examine the origins of that tradition and why the practice is not just some superstitious act done for good luck--but, rather, why it's a culinary tribute to FBA ingenuity, survival, and emancipation.

Feel free to, RESPECTFULLY,, share your thoughts about today's topic in the comment section below to keep the constructive dialogue going.

One Love & One Justice,

The Stormy Poet

Comrades & Fellow Travelers,

We can't say we love our children if we leave a world behind for them that is polluted and desecrated.

In this edition of the Poethinc Justice Podcast, we discuss how a habitable planet for all CANNOT be achieved without CASH REPARATIONS for those who descend from American slavery being given.

One Love & One Justice,

The Stormy Poet
