🎙 From Shoot the Breeze Episode 251 on the Bitter Medicine Podcast.
Was slavery only about economics, or did race define who was targeted, dehumanized, and enslaved? Brother Bakari gives the clearest rebuttal to the “money, not race” argument.

The history of slavery did not begin in the cotton fields. By the 17th century, the Atlantic had become the center of a brutal new economy - one built on sugar, conquest, finance, and the mass deportation of millions of Africans.
Episode 3: From Sugar to Rebellion explores how European powers turned the Caribbean into a battlefield for sugar. France, England, Spain and the Netherlands fought for control of the islands, where sugar plantations became one of the most profitable - and violent - systems of exploitation in history.
To feed this economy, new slave routes were opened between Africa and the Americas. Banks, insurers, merchants and royal powers helped industrialize the trade, pushing deportations to unprecedented levels. Nearly 7 million Africans were caught in a vast Atlantic system of forced labor, racial violence, and colonial profit.
From the ports of Nantes, Liverpool and Amsterdam to the forts of the Gold Coast, from Caribbean plantations to the rise of slave rebellions and abolitionist voices, this third episode of Slavery Routes reveals how sugar transformed the Atlantic world - and how enslaved people resisted the system built to destroy them.

Before Iran was America's enemy, it was America's biggest weapons customer. The US sold the Shah billions in advanced fighter jets, destroyers, missiles, and surveillance aircraft — including the F-14 Tomcat, the most powerful interceptor ever built, a jet so exclusive that only the US Navy was allowed to fly it. American technicians flooded into Iranian cities by the thousands. CIA officers trained Iran's secret police. And Nixon personally signed a blank check allowing the Shah to buy any weapon he wanted, no questions asked.
Then, in 1979, a revolution swept the Shah from power — and every last piece of that American military hardware fell into the hands of a government that considered the United States to be the Great Satan.
This is the story of how America armed Iran, how those weapons were turned against American interests, and how the consequences of that decision are still shaping the Middle East today. From the 1953 CIA coup that started it all, to the hostage crisis that ended the alliance, to the nuclear program that America itself helped create — this is a chapter of history that explains more about the current US-Iran standoff than anything you'll hear on the news.
