Boats, Blackness & Unc Beliefs: The Truth Or Orchestrated Manipulation Of History?

In this thought-provoking episode, the Everyday Black Men crew sits down with guest Antonio Michael, who opens up about his radio show The Next Chapter, his spiritual alter ego Black Cherokee, and his experience growing up Afro-Caribbean in Canada. The conversation spirals into comedic but sincere takes on Drake as a universal Canadian Black man and how intuitive beliefs shape identity more than evidence. Antonio Michael shares his inspirations—from visions to family stories—and dives deep into the tensions between Black and Indigenous histories, the controversial rise of alternative origin theories, and the pain of erasure in American institutions. Reed and Antonio Michael trade perspectives on slavery narratives, reparations, and whether associating with Africa strengthens or divides Black people today. With sharp humor and layered honesty, this episode blends cultural commentary, personal reflection, and a side of bone spur jokes into one unforgettable conversation.
