This is part one of our special Series On Apartheid. As the leaders of the various anti-Apartheid movements pass away, we take the time to look back at one of the most interesting and unusual periods in Human History. 

In part one, we trace the origins of the Apartheid system back 1400's HRE, when Roman legal concepts entered the Low Countries. We then continue through the colonization of the Cape Colony by Dutch, French, and finally British forces. I discuss the various independent Boer republics, and how these efforts were extinguished by the most powerful empire in the world. 

Finally, I explore how the repression of the Boer people could have laid the groundwork for the Apartheid racial ideology that would emerge more than 40 years after the last Afrikaaner state was conquered.

Let's Learn Together!

The Word Year 1 Outtakes

The second year of "The Word" begins with an author interview. Joining me is Rajee Narinesingh, the author of "Beyond Face Value," released in the wake of her world-wide fame. 

In addition to discussing why she decided to write the book when she did, we discuss her darkest moments, and how she is able to muster the will to survive, despite violence, hate, and prejudice. 

"Beyond Face Value" is one of the best memoirs I have ever read, and certainly one of the most enjoyable books I have read this year! Rajee shares several fun anecdotes from her life, as well as reviewing events that occur in the book. 

Please join us for this very special edition of "The Word"!

The Word: Beyond Face Value (Audio)

My musings on an infomercial I saw earlier this selling 1970's musick on CD's. Because this is one area I can speak on fairly well, & am especially familiar with the 1970's, I could pick up on several distortions. You may be surprised as to what was going on behind-the-scenes while you were enjoying 70's musick.

In this editorial, I discuss the Jewish State, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, & recent developments from the region. I, & many others, would argue that the modern state of Israel constitutes an Apartheid regime in its dealings, colonization, & isolation of the Palestinian Arabs. Like its old ally, the Union of South Afrika, Israel is attempting to neutralize its dangerous minority populations by crafting reservations & delineating citizenship laws that exclude the majority. 

In the wake of the Israeli cabinet's deceleration of Israel as the "Nation-State of the Jewish People," and the concept's addition to the nation's Basic Law, the discussion surrounding the seemingly never-ending Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues. While the fortunes of Israeli Jews seems to rise & fall, the lot of the Palestinians, Arabs, & Muslims has continually gotten worse since 1945. I expect an unfortunate increase in violence toward the end of 2014, and the beginning of the New Year, as the 3rd Intifada accelerates.

The Trap Pack Season 1

Saffiya joins me to discuss a unique topic in the history of Abrahamic exegesis today -- The concept of 'hell'. Contrary to what contemporary Fundamentalist Evangelical Protestants and other Christians may believe today, what we think of as 'hell' is not a Christian concept at all. In truth, it appears to derive from the East, not the holy lands of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. We trace the importation of the 'hell' concept from Zoroastrianism, but also discuss the fact that 'hell' is a real, visible place on earth....and it looks nothing like what you have been told.
