We are back this week with another lesson about the evils of wealthy white people. I know that that statement can offend a lot of folks, but that is the fact of today's story.

After a long summer of violence and oppression across the country, another black community came under attack when sharecroppers formed a Union to fight for more fair portions of the profits considering they were the ones doing all the work, and seeing little return.

But anytime black people attempt to build something better for themselves, a certain group of individuals can't stand to see it, so they use any excuse to beat them back down, and keep them oppressed and subjugated.

Only recently has the true horrors of this particular event been uncovered and if our government has their way, they will be buried again. Reports claim only 11 black people were murdered but the truth is it could have been as many as 800. But we will never know the truth.

We are back this week and less covidy so we have another missing persons case for you today.

There are many reasons I have never stepped foot on a cruise ship, but one of the biggest is the fear of someone I love going missing.

And that fear hit the Bradley family in March of 1998 when Amy Lynn Bradley went missing from a Royal Caribbean ship her family was on for vacation. What happened next was failings from every department and organization brought on to investigate this disappearance.

And 27 years later there have been very few leads into what happened to Amy and where she could be now.

This week Ian wanted to take a crack at some history after an experience he recently had.

Recently a relative got married and on his way to the ceremony Ian spotted a home whos yard was overflowing with little black statues. Curious he looked them up and was shocked to read what he did about the history of lawn jockeys.

It's a complicated history, that no one is really sure where it started from. But we do know today that having this statues in ones yard is a glaring red flag for many people, namely black people.
