In what was supposed to be a 20-minute video, I discuss the ways that zombies (and other revenants) have evolved in folklore, pop culture, and history. What did Zora Neale Hurston, Wade Davis, and William Seabrook find when they visited Haiti? How did other Haitian events-- revolution, stigma about voodoo, American occupation in 1915, dictatorships-- shape beliefs and fuel urban legend? How did zombies go from enslaved workers to bloodthirsty plague carriers?

The USSR was dying, the economy was suffering, and problems abounded. Observers theorized on America's future role in a post-soviet world. First, we look into America's foreign policy and George Bush's New World Order speech before noting the role of the United Nations. Then we travel to dozens of locations around the world (from the UK, to France, to Afghanistan, to Palestine, to Rwanda, to South Africa, to Cuba, to Peru, to Japan, to China-- and lots of places in between. How did structural adjustment, the World Bank, and the international monetary fund impact developing nations? How did George Bush lie about Iraq? How were revolutionary governments neutered by globalization and neoliberal politics? How did some governments, like China and Cuba, adapt? How did the world fail Rwanda and other nations struggling from genocide?

From Flavor of Love to Love is Blind... how have black women fared on dating shows? "Black love" is not an important term to everyone, but I have always rooted for it and hope to see healthier and inclusive versions of it in media. I get tired of seeing arguments about black men and women's marriage rates, black women's desirability, dating bus drivers, $200 dates, hypergamy, gold diggers, interracial dating, etc. What are black women facing when it comes to dating? I also wanted to explore those topics as well by contextualizing reality dating shows and providing a bit of history. Not only have they been historically racist to black women, but they have grown from fun game show gimmicks to serious commitments-- why do people enjoy them and how did we get here? How have reality shows simply reflected the truth and how have they distorted it? Should black women settle? There are over 50 sources for this video on patreon! patreon.com/intelexualmedia

As bodies piled up, black churches urged City Council and the governor to set a reward. They were supported by prominent white Atlantans, including Asa Candler, the future mayor of Atlanta and the founder of Coca-Cola. But how many victims existed, and how does it foreshadow the treatment of future murder cases involving black women when it comes to investigation and crime? In this episode of It’s A Mystery, we’ll be discussing The Ripper. No, not that ripper! The Atlanta Ripper. #truecrime #ItsAMystery This is a 2021 post #FromTheArchives that was originally only on patreon.
More episodes of this series will be coming soon, as well as an analysis on true crime history.
