Episode Title: Episode Audio Link: https://podcast.ablackexec.com/episode/truth-isnt-woke-its-history Episode Video Link: In this BEP Live episode, Tony Tidbit and Chris P. Reed cut through the noise and get straight to the real story. They break down Ken Burns’ American Revolution documentary and the long-ignored truth that immigrants, not just the British colonists, helped fight and shape the birth of this nation. The conversation exposes how history has been edited for comfort rather than accuracy.Then the hosts shift to the present, examining the Trump administration’s reported missile strikes on alleged drug boats and the questionable pardon of a convicted trafficker. Tony and Chris tackle the political spin, the moral contradictions, and why accountability matters now more than ever.This episode is a reminder that learning the truth, past or present, is not “woke.” It is necessary for growth, justice, and an honest America.▶︎ In This Episode 00:00: Introduction and Initial Thoughts01:05: Welcome to A Black Executive Perspective01:51: Diving into Flashpoint Stories03:09: Thanksgiving Reflections04:21: Ken Burns' American Revolution Documentary07:29: The Real Fighters of the American Revolution10:31: The Importance of Historical Truth27:19: The Role of Immigrants in the American Revolution30:44: Rewriting the American Story31:33: Expansion Out West and Native American Territories33:14: Promises to Continental Soldiers37:32: Resistance to Change and Historical Truths42:11: Controversial Military Actions and Political Hypocrisy55:01: Final Thoughts and Call to Action🔗 Resources Links and resources mentioned in this episode:🔔 Listen and Subscribe Listen to this episode and subscribe for future updates subscribe to A Black Executive Perspective podcast onYouTube PodcastsApple PodcastsSpotify PodcastsAmazon MusicOther platforms or by searching "TonyTidbit" if you like what we're doing and would like to support us, here's some ways you can help us continue the uncomfortable conversations that drive changesubscribe to our newslettergive us up to a 5 star review on Apple Podcastsshare an episode with a friend, family member or colleague🗣️ Follow @ablackexecfollow us across social media @aBlackExecLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterTikTokWhatsApp ⭐️ Follow @TonyTidbitfollow Tony across social media @TonyTidbitTwitterLinkedInFacebook This episode was produced by TonyTidbit ™ .
