Centuries of Shame
Wednesday Sep 10, 2025
Wednesday Sep 10, 2025
The shame of Black manhood is carrying centuries of wounds we did not create. We live with the weight of history—our women violated, our children slaughtered, our families broken—by white terror that has not ended. That shame runs deep, even when it is not ours to own. It lingers in silence, grief, and rage, passed from generation to generation, hidden beneath survival. It is a heavy inheritance that shapes our very being.
America and other colonizing nations have emasculated Black men. We will not survive or be fully free until we stand in our manhood, our masculine energy. Some things are worth risking our lives for.

Black Blood and Ivy (New Jersey was the last state to have salary in America.)

They love to say the South wore the chains and the North broke them. But in this episode, I explain how the North wasn’t the savior — it was the silent partner in Black bondage. From Ivy League schools built on slavery to Wall Street built over the bodies of Africans, I follow the blood money, the myths, and the buried truth. The Emancipation Proclamation didn’t free the North’s enslaved. Lincoln didn’t save us. We saved ourselves. And some of us are still in chains.

Caged Nation

In 1968, there were fewer than half a million people locked up across America. Today, that number has exploded to over 2.1 million behind bars — and nearly 7 million under correctional control. This isn’t just a system. It’s a business. A political tool. A pipeline built to cage Black, Brown, Indigenous, and poor people in the name of safety and profit. In this episode, I break down the history, the blueprint, the money trail — and the rage simmering beneath it all. Because America is pushing people to the edge. And when the people explode, it won’t be by accident.

In this fiery episode of Wounded Goose, J.C. pulls the mask off the narcissists who run the world — from global empires to petty power players in our homes and communities. Through history’s biggest ego-driven collapses and today’s unchecked greed, we explore how power corrupts, how silence enables, and how resistance plants the seeds of liberation. Their fall is inevitable — but only if we keep standing, keep fighting, and never stop rewriting the story. This is a message of truth, resistance, and hope in a world overrun by self-worship.

In this episode of The Wounded Goose podcast, we open the gates of Louisiana's Angola Prison — the largest maximum-security prison in America, built on the same soil that once bound generations of enslaved Africans.
From the horrors of convict leasing to modern forced prison labor and corporate profits, "The Last Massive Plantation" reveals how slavery didn’t end in 1865 — it adapted.
Join host J.C. as he traces this brutal legacy from Louisiana to Mississippi, Texas, and beyond. This is not just history. It’s the system still alive today. Listen. Share. And remember: the chains never came off.

Fruit of the Lash ( A White Predator, My Less Than "Great" Grand Father)

In Fruit of the Lash, J.C. Faulk pulls no punches, uncovering under-told stories that so many would rather bury. Black Americans don’t just carry the names of enslavers—we carry their DNA.
Through the story of his great-great-grandmother Millie and countless other women and girls brutalized on Southern plantations, J.C. confronts generational trauma, forced bloodlines, and the question:
What if reparations are not about race, but undeniable lineage? This is the story of stolen roots and our refusal to stay silent.

Haiti, the first Black nation to win its freedom through blood and fire, was punished for daring to break the chains of colonialism. In Sugar, Blood, and Haiti, J.C. Faulk takes you from the revolutionary past to the sugar fields of today, revealing how colonial powers, debt, and betrayal have kept Haiti under siege for centuries.
This episode connects brutal history, personal witness, and resistance that refuses to die. It’s about colonial nations, and their attempt to crush the life out of a nation that secured it's freedom a half century before the Emancipation Proclamation in the U.S.
Haiti is one of the most profound nations in human history, a people who keep rising no matter how much the world tries to bury them.

Blood Stained Batteries (6 million dead in the Congo)

This episode cuts deep into the cost of so-called clean energy. It is about cobalt—what it is, where it comes from, and how it’s soaked in the blood of Congolese children. Six million dead, and the world shrugs, as they are made invisible to make it easy for colonizers to raid their riches.
This week's episode takes you from King Leopold’s genocide to modern-day corporate complicity. If you’ve ever held a smartphone, this is your story, too. Black pain powers this world, powers green energy.
Colonialism is not dead. It wears modern suits and ties, and arrives in "green" chariots soaked in Black blood.

Powder and Punishment dives into the crack era’s devastating impact on Black communities, exploring how a government-fueled drug war shattered families, criminalized addiction, and built private prison empires.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle colluded to railroad Black people into cages, fueling mass incarceration for political gain. This episode challenges the myths we've been told and examines who profited from the destruction. This is not just history—it’s the blueprint for the oppression we still face today.

Walls Whispering in the Dark (Visit to a slave castle in Ghana)
Monday Jun 23, 2025

In this deeply personal and searing episode, I take you with me to the dungeons of Cape Coast Castle in Ghana, one of the primary sites of the transatlantic slave trade. I walk through the suffocating darkness of a chamber built to break the spirits of men labeled “rebellious,” where between 1,200 and 1,500 human beings were packed together in unspeakable conditions. They slept in their feces. They were treated as less than animals. And then, they were shipped to the Americas, where the real horror show began.
This is not just a recounting of historical atrocities. It is a reckoning. As I stood in that space, inhaled the centuries-old grief still trapped in its stone walls, I knew with every fiber of my being: there is no forgiveness. Not for the colonizers who orchestrated it. Not for the systems that continue to profit from it.
What was done to my ancestors, and what is still being done to us, is unforgivable. And if you're still walking this Earth with white skin, you benefit in the aftermath of that dungeon, no matter how rich or poor you are.
This episode is a witness, a refusal to bend to white supremacy.
