The time is now “half past Black.” Will it take until the day after Barack Obama leaves the White House or the day after most of the Black faces have been erased from anchor seats and other positions in media for people to realize what is happening? On this episode of the Axiom Amnesia Theory, [...]

Eating donkeys doesn’t make you a jackass, but a lot of other things can turn you into one. The abbreviated list of things that can make you a jackass include being a Black president (but saying you’re not the president of Black people) and telling folks to take off their bedroom slippers, murdering an unarmed [...]

Americans love a feel-good story. That is why Billy Ray Harris, who happens to be homeless, was recently thrust to national celebrity status. As the story goes, a woman–Sarah Darling–decided to be a not-so-selfish person and put money into Billy Ray’s cup as he asked for change on the streets of Kansas City, Mo. Not [...]

Are you versed in the “art of philosophical piracy”? What we morally should and shouldn’t do or legally can and cannot do is based on our philosophical disposition. The accusation of piracy–or robbing parties of that which does not belong to you–must be weighed against a discussion about what things are actually subject to the [...]

It was exactly one year ago, today, that George Michael Zimmerman hunted down and murdered Trayvon Martin as he attempted to return to the home where he was staying. Much has transpired during this year. Zimmerman was finally arrested and charged with second-degree murder after mass nationwide protests and grassroots media coverage. We’ve also seen [...]

In this age of ‘cut & paste’ journalism, shock headlines, and single-digit-second soundbites, you’ve probably heard about Kanye West’s recent breakdown in London this past weekend. Many people have written about the Chicago rapper’s ‘rant’ and collage of ‘disses’ he spewed from stage. But the mere fact that what happened is categorized as such further [...]

It is hard to explain genius to begin with, but it is especially hard to explain it (or its lack) under authoritarian rule. When people choose to bow down to the judgement and desires of authority over their own, they’re anything but genius–in fact, we’re all dumbed down in the process. On this episode of [...]

Silent screams are never heard, only seen at best–worse yet, is the mockery that many victims are left to endure when leaders and others don’t take their plights seriously, simply giving lipservice (if that) to the devastation that impacts their lives. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri discuss the utter [...]

A friend asked me to watch the mini-documentary “Silent Screams II (28 Classrooms)”, which speaks to the devastation and pain caused by the loss of so many young lives to Chicago gun violence–about 28 classrooms worth of school-aged youth since 2008. I just finished watching the video (you can view it for yourself below), and [...]

The world is a ghetto, but the hood is where the “authorities” spend most of their time plotting to systematically criminalize its inhabitants. Wanna know what life is like in the hood? On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri give you a glimpse into hood experiences from day-to-day experiences like shopping [...]

Have you received your “n!gga wakeup call”? The wakeup call occurs when you’ve been under the incorrect impression that we are in a post-racial world, only to have blatant racism slap you in the face. These wakeup calls also occur on the basis of other outward attributes (like gender, age, and nationality). Time and time [...]

Well, on today’s episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, in addition to bringing you up to speed on the latest in social and political goings on, Heit & Cheri tell you their porn story… Topics discussed include a woman who had two sets of identical twins [...]

Last week, we had a near miss with an asteroid narrowly escaping a collision with Earth. Of course, the drone wars here and abroad didn’t miss a beat in the process, as they’ll soon be part of our everyday lives. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri talk about everything from [...]

Killing, killing everywhere! And, when it comes to the discussion surrounding these cases, all we can say is, “You’re killin’ me!” On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri take the politics involved in assessing the facts of murders and killings in the news. They also share some foolishness from their personal [...]

On this Valentine’s Day, let’s talk about love and what it looks like–or at least what people think it looks like. After all, we’ve already established that people tend to pay more attention to what things look like than the actual reality. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri don’t just [...]

Although each of them have their own kill lists, people tend to view Christopher Dorner and Barack Obama quite differently. But why, when you consider that Obama’s kill list includes children and Dorner’s doesn’t. Yesterday, both of these men had top news billing–Dorner because he was said to be dead after a shootout and standoff, [...]

We’re sure you’ve heard of the phrase “15 minutes of fame,” in reference to the amount of time people who become instantly famous will have in the spotlight. The same holds true for discussion of certain issues. Let’s be honest. Some of these people (and issues) are famous, and some are infamous because what led [...]

When we think of fugitives, we usually conjure up images of someone who is clearly wrong, and should be brought to justice. But, what if the fugitive is wanted because they did the right thing, and instead it’s the lawful authority that’s wrong? How can we reconcile acts that are criminal in nature, committed in [...]

People are quick to tell you to think for yourself, but what they really want is to usher you to their way of thinking. They’ll speak of things like being a team player and sacrificing for the sake of the group, with the promise that everyone will be better off for your individual sacrifice. On [...]

The LAPD has a manhunt underway for an ex-officer, who is accused of multiple shooting deaths. Christopher Dorner released a lengthy explanation for his actions, in which he spoke on a number of subjects, including police brutality and benefits to gays in the military. He also weighed in on the Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman [...]

See a problem? Well, don’t worry; there’s probably an app for it these days. The first step in developing an “app” as a solution is to understand what is applicable to the resolution of the problem. We need to know which variables have an impact on the outcome of the issue if we hope to [...]

Sexual education is typically delayed until children are in their teens, but is this the best approach to helping children understand human sexuality? We make the assumption that children cannot understand “adult” subjects, and this leads us to fail to equip children with the knowledge they need to understand their bodies. On this episode of [...]

What will people assume about you just by hearing your name? Will their assumptions have a positive or negative impact on you? And, what happens when you cannot afford to pay the price demanded for necessities, like health care and security? On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri answer these questions [...]

On this Monday after the Super Bowl, we’re back to talk to you about some “super bowl sh!t”–say it out loud and you’ll understand what we mean. In the end, it all boils down to an utter lack of concern for the right of others to have their basic needs met, and live as they [...]

In this world we’ve become too accustomed to skirting the issues and being tactfully indirect–sometimes because of political correctness, and other times to willfully conceal our true thoughts and motives. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri encourage everyone to “just say it plain.” In other words, give us the bottom [...]

The government is training everyone to be a snitch–everyone except those who can tell the truth about their own improprieties. All ages, from children to adults, are encouraged to “come forward” and tell on one another, with the idea that it is beneficial to the community. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit [...]

When it comes to financial and other debts, it seems that we are moving backward in time–going back to a place when folks were simply thrown in jail if they were unable to pay claims against them. The notion of space and land also continues to be viewed as capitalist conquests, with little thought given [...]

Money and ice are possessions that are much sought after. People find themselves willing to sacrifice many things on their behalf. On this episode of the Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri discuss topics that span the gamut from politicians jailed over money to the physical properties of ice–H2O in solid form.. Topics discussed include [...]

Today, we’re giving you History version 1.2.9–what we know right now about the world. Of course, history is fluid because it doesn’t represent what actually happened, but rather what people say happened. And, as we know, the gulf between historical fact and fiction can be very wide, causing different versions and revisions of history. On [...]
