Stop Calling It Supremacy — It’s Terrorism | Part 8: The Invention of Race 24.06.2026 36นาทีWe'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. In Chapter 8 of the series, Chisom turns to the secular machinery that took over the work, science, and the lie it was used to build, the invention of race. The claim is that power took the authority of science and manufactured race, to give an ancient hierarchy the one disguise almost impossible to argue with, the look of objective fact. And the proof that the crime was in the wielding and not the method is that s...

Stop Calling It Supremacy — It’s Terrorism | Part 7: Christianity Was a Weapon of Conquest 17.06.2026 38นาทีWe'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. In Chapter 7 of the series, Chisom turns to the institution that blessed all of it, the church. The claim is that Christianity was not incidental to white terrorism but its moral machinery and a material instrument of conquest, the apparatus that turned terror into salvation so the people carrying it out believed they were doing the work of God, while the same faith, in the hands of the people it was used against, ...

It opens on Angola,...

Stop Calling It Supremacy — It’s Terrorism | Part 5: The Compound in Black Womanhood 03.06.2026 38นาทีWe'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. In Chapter 5 of the series, Chisom turns to what the operating system does when it compounds. The claim is that compounding is multiplicative, not additive: when rac!sm meets patriarchy meets ant!-Blackness, the result is not the sum of three harms but a third condition that neither rac!sm nor patriarchy alone because it produces a structural position so specific that the dominant analyses of either race or gender ...

In episode 4 of the series, Chisom turns to the operating system that white terrorism built: racism.

Stop Calling It Supremacy — It’s Terrorism | Part 3: The Settler Structure 20.05.2026 36นาทีWe'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. In Chapter 3 of the series, Chisom turns to the present tense. Settler colonialism is not a phase that European empires went through and emerged from. It is a structure that continues to operate, on every populated continent, in 2026. The chapter opens by naming the three forms of white terrorism’s modern operation: extractive colonialism, plantation slavery, named briefly and flagged for a future chapter; and sett...

Stop Calling It Supremacy — It’s Terrorism | Part 2: From Bodies to Borders. 13.05.2026 40นาทีWe'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. In Part 2 of a series, Chisom traces the long history of white terrorism in Africa as one continuous story rather than a list of incidents. Twelve and a half million Africans were forcibly transported across the Atlantic between 1501 and 1866. Roughly 1.8 million died during the Middle Passage itself. The trade built Europe. Then it ended, between 1807 in Britain and 1888 in Brazil, and Europe pivoted. From taking ...

In Part 1 of a series, Chisom challenges the term “white supremacy” and proposes a language change: it is white terrorism. She traces the term to its 1824 origins, maps the papal bulls that gave genocide divine authority between 1452 and 1493, and shows how the Doctrine of Discovery is still embedded in U.S. and international law. Using her Three Clarities Framework, Chisom reveals how white terrorism interlo...

The Men Who Drug Their Wives 22.04.2026 28นาทีWe'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. In March 2026, a CNN investigation exposed a global network of men teaching each other how to drug and assault their wives and partners.

We discuss the infrastructure enabling this violence — from pornographic platforms hosting thousands of “sleep” videos to Telegram groups where men trade advice on dosag...

Imposter syndrome is not a syndrome. It’s internalised systemic failure. 15.04.2026 32นาทีWe'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. In this episode, Chisom challenges the concept of ‘imposter syndrome’ and argues it’s not a personal failing — it’s internalised systemic failure. Using her Three Clarities Framework, she traces the origins of the term, exposes how it pathologizes individuals instead of diagnosing racist and sexist systems, and provides nine diagnostic questions to help you see clearly that you’re not broken. The system is. T...

Patriarchy doesn’t just survive because men enforce it. It survives because women uphold it too—not out of cruelty, but because the system made survival depend on compliance. In this episode, Chisom traces the root cause of patriarchy (agriculture, private property, and the control of reproduction), shows how colonialism and religion weaponized it in Africa, and uses her Three Clarities Framework to diagnose why mo...

Chisom reviews Louis Theroux’s Netflix documentary Inside the Manosphere and diagnoses what it missed — and what it got right.

While the documentary sparked impor...

Gender Equality Is Designed For Some White Women 11.03.2026 13นาทีWe'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. It’s Women’s History Month, and most of what we call “gender equality” was never designed for all women. In this episode, Chisom uses the Three Clarities Framework to diagnose who gender equality actually serves, who it erases, and why surface-level representation without structural change is just performance. She breaks down how mainstream feminism centered white women’s access to power without dismantling t...
