The C.O.W.S. w/ Dr. Martin Kevorkian: Movies of 'the Moment' Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes the return of Dr. Martin Kevorkian. A University of Texas Austin professor of English, Dr. Kevorkian authored the 2009 text, Color Monitors: The Blackface of Technology in America. The main theme of the text is that films and narratives like The Matrix and The Terminator franchises are metaphors for White anxiety about a loss of power to non-white people. Dr. Kevorkian has visited The C.O.W.S. many times over the years to dissect White Supremacist components to many films. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, many folks around the world have had more time to binge watch content. we selected a fresh batch of offerings. The recent protests against Racism and police killings of black people lifted The Hate U Give (book and film) back to relevance. It's daily cited as a work to help parents explain the current racial crisis to children. Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (1984) is also referenced daily, although not as a tool to explain racial oppression. This 80's rap musical is cited constantly to help explain the "boogaloo" - a term used by a segment of White Supremacists to describe civil unrest and a failure of police and government systems. A number of Race Soldiers use the threat of an apocalyptic boogaloo to motivate gun and weapon stockpiling as well as combat training. Color Monitors spends a significant amount of time on Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator, so we'll see if last year's release, Terminator: Dark Fate, fits his analysis for the previous films in the series. The latest installment is set in Mexico, and features machines and White people risking their existence to save a Mexican female. Finally, we'll revisit the Netflix Black Mirror series. Gus could barely stomach one episode from the fifth season, so we'll focus on "Striking Vipers" and the continual theme of castrated black males. #TheSicknessIsWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The C.O.W.S. Global Sunday Talk On Racism 06/21/20 Jun 21, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Global Sunday Talk on Racism. This program is specifically engineered to encourage participation from non-white people outside the United States and Victims of White Supremacy who may not be able to tune in our typical broadcast time. The System of White Supremacy is a global enterprise, so Victims of Racism should keep a global - if not universal - perspective when contemplating solving The Problem. The planet continues to stumble through the covid-19 crisis. It's been astonishing and informative to observe how the spread of Covid-19, misinformation about the virus, and the effort to curtail it have evolved each time we speak with our international participants. The global protests against White Supremacy/Racism and police violence against black people erupted since our last international talk. We're excited to see if our listeners have joined any protests and what the impact of these demonstrations has been. They've toppled a number of statues to White slave traders across the pond as well. #TheSicknessIsWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The C.O.W.S. Compensatory Call-In 06/20/20 #BlackSelfCare Jun 21, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. We’ll use these sessions to hone our use of words as tools to reveal truth, neutralize White people. We’ll examine news reports from the past seven days and – hopefully – promote a constructive dialog. #ANTIBLACKNESS The most ominous estival solstice in years begins this weekend. If this week is any indication, it will be a so-called "long hot summer" of ongoing protests and increased White Supremacist violence against black people. Another black male was killed by police, this time Atlanta's Rayshard Brooks. Later in the week, Robert Fuller's half-brother, Terron Jammal Boone, was reportedly killed in a gun battle with California enforcement officers. Fuller's Palmdale, California hanging death is still under investigation and viewed with logical suspicion. The ongoing protests have launched congressional chats on police reforms, the toppling of a number of confederate statues, and the termination of Aunt Jemima syrup and pancake mix. The stereotypical image of a black female was used to hawk diabetic concoctions for over 125 years. In one bright spot, the White-dominated LGBTG movement nabbed another victory from the U.S. Supreme Court, where justices rules that the 1964 Civil Rights Act protects LGBTQ employees. Glad someone got a win this year. #TheSicknessIsWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The C.O.W.S. Neutralizing Workplace Racism 06/19/20 Jun 19, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly forum on Neutralizing Workplace Racism. Protests against the police slaughter of black people continues to roil the country and the world at large. A number of listeners have written and called in discussing various scenarios where they've been asked about the protests or their White colleagues volunteered their perspective on why George Floyd shouldn't have resisted police orders. We'll remind listeners that we are not paid to share views on Racism with our co-workers. The coronavirus continues to ravage the country and the planet at large, and black workers remain in the most dangerous occupations to contract the virus and with less resources to combat unstable employment caused by work stoppages and furloughs. #TheSicknessIsWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The C.O.W.S. Fred Jerome's & Rodger Taylor's Einstein on Race and Racism Part 1 Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the debut study session on Fred Jerome and Rodger Taylor's Einstein on Race and Racism. Jerome may be classified as White, while Taylor is a black male. Dr. Frances Cress Welsing recommended a number of books over the years #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision She placed special emphasis on this text. Dr. Welsing frequently mentioned Einstein's failure to focus his all of his mental faculties on the primary problem on the planet, White Supremacy. This text, published in 2006 collects an array of Einstein's writings on the Racism he observed here in the U.S. Having migrated to North America from Hitler's Nazi Germany, Einstein contrasted the System of Racial Terror here to what was happening across the pond in Europe. Apparently the renown scientist had correspondence with acclaimed sociologist W.E.B. DuBois and actor and activist Paul Robeson. #RacismIsADiseaseOfTheWhiteMan INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The C.O.W.S. w/ Black Experience Japan Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Ranzo of The Black Experience Japan (BEJ). Designed to "share the totality of the black experience in Japan," BEJ use video series and documentaries to "paint a more accurate picture of life in Japan for the black individual." This project began in 2017, and in three years, they garnered hundreds of thousands of followers and have produced a huge library of content documenting the experiences of black people in Japan and surrounding areas. The System of White Supremacy is global, and this year, the coronavirus and protests against White Supremacy and police killings have ravaged the planet. We're excited to discuss both issues with BEJ. We'll hear about how Covid-19 has been dealt with in their area, and what they think of the extraordinary reports of death and illness in the U.S. We'll also discuss the ongoing protests over police terrorism against black people. BEJ has documented protests in Japan. #TheSicknessIsWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE

The C.O.W.S. Compensatory Call-In 06/13/20 Jun 14, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP.

We’ll examine news reports from the past seven days and – hopefully – promote a constructive dialog. #ANTIBLACKNESS Spring of 2020 is coming to a merciful conclusion. As oppose to sunshine and flowers, the air is ripe with tear gas, gun shots, and the clamor of looters and protesters. The marches against police killings of black people have continued across the world. In Gus's Seattle, a 27-year-old black male protester, Daniel Gregory, was shot, but survived. The gunman, Nikolas Fernandez, was arrested and faces first degree assault charges. Gus visited the Capitol Hill area where the shooting took place a day later. The area looked like a war zone. I've never been more terrified in my time in Seattle. The Seattle looters (many of them White) used machinery to break into jewelry stores, got the Capitol Hill police department to abandon the facilities, and drew the ire of President Donald J. Trump - who threatened to fix Seattle's problems for them. #4MoYears In South America, Brazil is experiencing the exact same thing. Protests against the murder of black people have ravaged the country as has Covid-19. President Bolsonaro is accused of deliberately minimizing the damage of the virus to black people. #TheSicknessIsWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The C.O.W.S. Neutralizing Workplace Racism 06/12/20 Jun 13, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly forum on Neutralizing Workplace Racism. 2020 will be a watershed moment for the everyone on the planet. The Covid-19 pandemic stalled the planet and shuttered businesses globally for weeks - months in some instances. Just as restrictions begin being eased in the U.S., protests over the police killing of George Floyd have erupted world wide. Fatal shootings, tear gas, brawls and looting has spread across North America, causing a number of recently opened businesses to close again. The ongoing disruptions are leaking into workplace conversations. There have been numerous reports about racist comments being made on the job and employees being terminated for social media posts about the protests. We'll emphasize the importance of not discussing politics or sharing your thoughts on the protests while you're at work. Some companies are taking time to have meetings and office dialogs on "race." Non-white people should listen carefully, take excellent notes, and speak only to ask questions. #TheSicknessIsWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The C.O.W.S. Nutritional Destruction of Black People Part 10 (Conclusion) Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy is tremendously thankful to reach the 10th and final study session on Dr. Llaila O. Afrika's Nutritional Destruction Black People (Nutricide). #WorstBookEver Dr. Afrika is an internationally acclaimed author, naturopathic healer, certified acupuncturist, nutrition counselor and addictionologist. His surprising death in March of this year saddened and stunned many. He was 74. We were scheduled to read Dr. Afrika's work at some point this year, but there was no urgency to select a time. The coronavirus changed everything. Seemingly days after many around the world joked that black people are immune to "the rona," an avalanche of reports announced that black people in the U.S. are dying at alarming numbers from the so-called coronavirus. The history and continued practice of #MedicalAprtheid, abusing and experimenting on black patients, is one theory to explain the high number of fatalities. But obesity, cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes and a host of other diet-related health problems seem to be correlated with a higher risk of dying from the coronavirus. The current health crisis demanded that we open Dr. Afrika's work immediately. Unfortunately, the book is rife with errors, misprints, name-calling, dubious claims unsupported by evidence, and is generally unworthy of being read. Listeners who met Dr. Afrika personally have unflinchingly supported he and his work - ignoring or minimizing the countless typos, poor logic and antiblackness throughout the text. Last week's section was particularly unhelpful, as much of chapter 6 is a motley collection of charts, sentence fragments, and lists. Dr. Afrika jumps from sharing his views on Ritalin, to noise in the "ghetto," to hair relaxers, to black teen suicide. There's no analysis explaining how these different topics are related or why they're all randomly clumped in one chapter. These topics often have entire books devoted to providing a comprehensive analysis. Dr. Afrika frequently writes less than one full page of detail on these complex problems. Often, he doesn't even write complete sentences. With its defective index, this book represents a failure to meet minimal standards for professional publishing. #IWouldRatherBeWatchingNetflix INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
