Black Literacy: Blame Slavery, The Bible, or Robert Greene (Choose One) This is final installment of the intellectually charged and hilariously honest conversation with special guest Antonio Michael Downing and the Everyday Black Men podcast consisting of Riker, Reed, Sham, The Rider, White Collar Suge, and the Black Libertarian. Together they take a deep dive into Black literacy, cultural legacy, and uncomfortable truths. The crew tackles why many Black Americans struggle with reading, linking it to slavery, survival, parenting, and a lack of cultural infrastructure — all while debating if white authors dominate the bookshelf too heavily. Antonio Michael shares how the King James Bible and his grandma's poor eyesight jumpstarted his love for literature, leading to a lifelong relationship with reading and soft hands. The conversation detours through spicy commentary on Kamala Harris, Jamaican cultural contradictions, and literary hot takes on Lovecraft, Robert Greene, and Gogol. With humor, heat, and unexpected depth, the episode challenges listeners to consider how stories are passed down — or left behind in Black communities.
