  • Fractured Masses: Rebuilding Through Core Values

    Fractured Masses: Rebuilding Through Core Values
    Apr 26 2025
    In this critical episode of Black Thought: The Spark, Rabbi Gohlstin and DJ Black Unicorn address the painful reality of the Black community existing in fractured masses — divided by ideologies, geography, class, and mistrust. They dive deep into how this fragmentation weakens our collective power and how the road to true restoration begins with returning to, redeveloping, and agreeing on a set of core values.

    This conversation challenges listeners to think beyond individual agendas and personal gains — and to focus instead on the principles that can unite a people. Without shared values, there can be no shared future. Healing starts with reestablishing who we are, what we stand for, and what we will build together.

  • Exiled: The War on Black Humanity

    Exiled: The War on Black Humanity
    Apr 26 2025
    In this episode of Black Thought: The Spark, Rabbi Gohlstin and DJ Black Unicorn explore the deep wounds left by the forced exile of Black Americans from their original land, culture, and identity. They unpack how, through the brutal process of slavery, there was an intentional effort to animalize those who were kidnapped — stripping them of their humanity to justify their oppression.

    This conversation exposes the psychological warfare used to disconnect a people from their roots, and how that disconnection still echoes today. Rabbi Gohlstin and DJ Black Unicorn offer powerful insight into how understanding this process is key to reversing it — reclaiming our true selves, restoring our cultural memory, and walking back toward wholeness. Healing begins when we recognize what was stolen — and what still lives within us, waiting to be awakened.
