  • Summary

  • Here is Where We Are Coming from:
    With this podcast, our hope is to provide the common person with what we were never given: a voice. In the United States, the criminal injustice system for far too long has functioned with the single purpose of using the felony conviction in combination with a contract of neo-indentured servitude as the method to re-institutionalize people of color. It is through these institutions of correction, which function as social-economic conversion factories- changing humans into commodities, we find inner-city men of color being transported, given numbers, and stored like cattle, in cells, behind walls in rural white communities.
    The true definition of human trafficking.
    Despite these systematic devices being used against us, by those who claim to represent law and order, we were able to use our time and not have time use us. It took fighting the system and refusing to be treated like an animal to eventually realize that the system is working exactly as it was designed. This understanding created our resolution to help those being sold into the system of corrections. The system truly does not care about crime, it only cares about bodies that can be converted to debt. However, the average person through mainstream Media is being conned to believe law enforcement for the most part serves the public's good. When the truth is it has always been about convicting the less fortunate by ostracizing them and victimizing anyone brave enough to help the innocent prove their innocence.
    Those in power, real or delusional, and few who believe they own this country truly believe justice is for them and not for us. As unbelievable as those words are the common person must ask herself: Why is the justice system given a pass when corruption and over-incarceration is proven true, however, if a story about an inmate receiving an extra pillow is reported whoever provided the pillow is fired and the extra pillow policy is removed. The over sentencing and punishment approach is acceptable when the system convicts us (disproportionately) not them. The fact is the criminal injustice system not working properly, is an acceptable problem. In order for those fighting a case and those convicted to be viewed other than worthy, the Media and their benefactors have trained the public to understand who the worthy victims are and who they are not. The truth is in this country if you are poor, you will not receive justice. You will not have an outlet to tell your story. You cannot indict those who are bringing charges against you. Your words are heard but no one believes you.
    That time is over.
    I got something ta say is the first and only podcast created to challenge the lies told by those who take oaths to defend our lives. This podcast will call out those elected officials who write statutes that look to over incarcerate people of color. The podcast will give you, the listener, the power to tell, your story. The need for the true victim to having a voice was the reason for our creation of this podcast. We are the voice of the voiceless. Everyone has got somethang ta say. During our ordeals, there was no counternarrative to the State’s narrative that was a victimization of the innocent, that remove any way to prove oneself not guilty. The media runs with the police reports and court records all created by individuals who have been programmed to avoid the truth. I got somethang ta say!

    Are All Police Officers Bad?
    Sep 14 2021
    This podcast is a vision that has found its roots in the historical mistreatment of black persons throughout this country; moreover, in light of recent history, where the world viewed the most egregious and despicable murder of unarmed black men by white police officers in the state of Minnesota, I would like with the aid of multimedia (audio and video) provide awareness of criminal injustice that has historically had a detrimental effect on people of color. I will co-host a podcast out of the city where George Floyd was murder. Along with providing a commentary on law enforcement and the system of corrections. The platform will vary from commentaries on current issues to interviews from those directly affected by enacted laws and statutes. This conversation will not only include those who are currently and have been recently released from prison but also provide an opportunity for the voiceless to voice their experiences on dealing with the criminal injustice system. In addition, any new laws that are being introduced that affect those currently or previously in the system of correction will be debated
