The C.O.W.S. Neutralizing Workplace Racism 02/28/20 Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our Friday weekly forum on neutralizing Workplace Racism. This broadcast is uniquely formatted to improve non-white people's problem-solving skills and refine how black people think, speak, act and manage emotions while on the job. Any listeners who've designed a code to reduce conflicts with White and/or non-white co-workers, steer clear of demotions, write-ups, terminations or other forms of violence we experience under Racist work conditions should be first to call in with details. We appreciate the chance to learn about the experiences of "black entrepreneurs." Please, share with us how being "self employed" makes your work experience better. A shooting at a Molson Coors brewery (#SobrietyWouldBeBest) riveted the nation as 6 people were reported dead. Anthony Ferrill, a 51-year-old black male, is alleged to have killed 5 co-workers before turning the gun on himself. It's been reported that Ferrill had a "dispute" with one of the co-workers who was executed. Several outlets reported that Ferrill alleged his White co-workers hung nooses in the workplace and mistreated him because he was not White. Many components of this horrific event bring to mind the August 2010 shooting involving Omar Thornton. #WorkplaceRacism 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. Dr. Sylvia Hood Washington's Packing Them In Part 1 Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our debut study session on Dr. Sylvia Hood Washington's Packing Them In: An Archaeology of Environmental Racism in Chicago, 1865-1954. An environmental epidemiologist, environmental engineer and environmental historian, Dr. Washington is Chief Environmental Research Scientist at Environmental Health Research Associates, LLC. With three decades of research experience working on the impact of industrial pollution on human health and ecosystems, she's a published author and the creator and editor-in-chief of the first international environmental health disparities journal, Environmental Justice. We'll discuss her 2004 text, Packing Them In: An Archaeology of Environmental Racism in Chicago, 1865-1954. Chicago is a massively important city in North America, black people have sojourned to this region for over a century. Consequently, Whites have devoted a staggering amount of time, energy and resources to study, warehouse and terrorize and poison the black people of the "windy city." #WorkplaceRacism 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/ Dr. Marcia Chatelain: McDonald's and White Supremacy Feb 24, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Marcia Chatelain. A Provost’s Distinguished Associate Professor of history and African American studies at Georgetown University, Dr. Chatelain is a scholar of African American life and culture and is credited with starting the hashtag #FergusonSyllabus to contextualize the 2014 police killing of Michael Brown Jr. We'll discuss her most recent publication, Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America - which begins with images of Ferguson, Missouri protesters seeking refuge, outlets for charging mobile phones, and relief from tear gas at the local McDonald's. Dr. Chatelain examines the rise of the fast food behemoth and how marketing to (exploiting) black people helped the exponential growth of the burger chain. We'll examine how black franchise owners were added to the mix and how they routinely reported Racism - from being given franchises in dilapidated areas to getting "cold shoulders" from fellow White franchise owners. We'll also study how McDonald's has cultivated/conditioned black consumers for decades with gospel song and hip-hop driven commercials, to their genius effort with the McDonald's All-American game. For more than 40 years, black basketball legends like LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Zion Williams have donned the "Mickey D's" uniform. #WorkplaceRacism 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 02/22/20 Feb 22, 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 As Black History Month 2020 winds to a close, the global impacts of COVID-19 (formerly known as the Wuhan Coronavirus) continue to reverberate. China is feeling economics implications as a result of quarantines and health scares. In fact, even non-whites in Japan and African students are feeling adverse consequences from the precautions to contain the spread of the virus. Speaking of Japan, California offered a belated apology for placing large numbers of so called Japanese Americans in greater confinement (concentration camps) during World War II. Speaking of Adolf Hitler, Amazon's streaming service is debuting a new series where a vigilante group hunts Nazis war criminals for vengeance. It's doubtful Whites will imagine a series where black people "punish" Whites for centuries of White Terrorism. In Hitler's Germany, a suspected "right-wing" terrorist killed 9 in murderous rampage on German Kurds. The killer, much like other #WhiteIdentityExtremists before him, allegedly left a manifesto explain his savagery and declaring his commitment to the White Race. #COWSTorontoRetreat INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

We'll review how to behave with other non-white people on the job - especially when meeting a non-white employee for the first time. It's always good to remember that we are united/independent in working to counter-racism. We are not a "team," and seeing another individual classified as black, does not mean that she/he and I have the same objectives or common self interest. We'll also remind listeners to avoid any sexual activity with co-workers - including flirting. #WorkplaceRacism 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. Harriet A Washington's A Terrible Thing to Waste Part 7 Feb 20, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our seventh study session on Harriet A. Washington's A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and Its Assault on the American Mind. Washington is a science writer, editor and ethicist who's held prestigious positions at the most elite academies across the globe. Her debut work, Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present, is one of Gus's all time favorites and is widely hailed as a depressing and immaculate historical record of White medical terrorism against black people. A Terrible Thing to Waste explores the impact of environmental Racism - the deliberate poisoning of areas that will disproportionately and adversely impact non-white people. Many of the toxic impacts of this pollution are unknown to the victims and can have lifelong debilitating impacts on quality of life and brain functioning. Last week's segment offered a wealth of suggestion on how black people can protect themselves from the wealth of toxins Racists dump on our areas. She suggested small things such as not wearing shoes in our houses, using some sort of water filter device to help purify your water, keeping windows closed during high traffic hours if your live near busy intersections. She also talked about the relationship between "mad cow" disease and Alzheimer's diagnosis among black people. Evidence suggests, tainted meats can greatly impact health - particularly for pregnant mothers. If you're planning to have a family, there should be a great deal of time invested in thinking about what the mother and father eat, where you live, testing the quality of your water, and the air quality of your living area. #EnvironmentRacism #TheCOWS14Years 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 02/14/20 Feb 14, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our Friday weekly caucus on neutralizing Workplace Racism. This broadcast is specially designed to improve non-white people's problem-solving skills and refine how black people think, speak, act and manage emotions while at work. Any listeners who've designed a code to minimize conflicts with White and/or non-white co-workers, steer clear of demotions, write-ups, terminations or other forms of violence we experience under Racist work conditions should be first to call in with particulars. We always appreciate the chance to learn about the experiences of "black entrepreneurs." Please, share with us how being "self employed" makes your work experience better. It was reported this week that a number of non-white "Silicon Valley" employees reported a variety of racist experiences. They made a number of catchy hashtags to highlight the egregiously violations they face daily. Within the same report, a number of workers outside the computer industry reported they are being banned from social media platforms for attempting to discuss Racism. It seems the same Race Soldiers who don't hire black people for computing jobs also obstruct black people from addressing White Supremacy online. #WorkplaceRacism 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. Harriet A. Washington’s A Terrible Thing To Waste Part 6 Feb 13, 2020

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our sixth study session on Harriet A. Washington's A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and Its Assault on the American Mind. Washington is a science writer, editor and ethicist who's held prestigious positions at the most elite academies across the globe. Her debut work, Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present, is one of Gus's all time favorites and is widely hailed as a depressing and immaculate historical record of White medical terrorism against black people. A Terrible Thing to Waste explores the impact of environmental Racism - the deliberate poisoning of areas that will disproportionately and adversely impact non-white people. The non-white victims are generally kept ignorant about the poisons saturating their environment and potentially jeopardizing their long term health and brain functioning. During last week's session, Washington described the debilitating impact of cigarette smoking - including damaging the brain. She evidenced how cigarettes and alcohol are overly promoted in areas where mostly black people reside. The chapter also documented how alcohol companies aggressively market to underage black children. Alcohol consumption cannot be beneficial to still-developing minds. Washington shared the evidence shows White Women are more likely to consume alcohol during pregnancy, but black females are more likely to have a child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Gus and other listeners suspect Racists could be adding chemicals to the malt liquors and fortified alcohols marketed to black people. #TheCOWS11 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Trump likely engaged in racial showcasing at the 54th Super Bowl in Miami. During the barrage of commercials, The President used Victim of Racism Alice Johnson to suggest that the current president has been a merciful liberator for many black people. Fresh after retired U.S. Air Force Col. Charles McGee, a member of the so-called Tuskegee Airmen, was honored before the kickoff of the Super Bowl, President Trump ferried Col. McGee to the nation's capitol for the State of the Union Address. #2For1 As if that wasn't enough, days later, the president was acquitted of all impeachment charges - as expected. #4MoYears Around the world, China continues to reverberate with the consequences of the so-called Wuhan coronavirus. #YellowPeril And two weeks after the stunning death of Kobe Bryant, many are cashing in on the spike in merchandise sales of the fallen sports icon. It's suspected that a lot of Suspected Racists are profiting from Mr. Bryant's corpse. #COWSTorontoRetreat INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
