The C.O.W.S. Compensatory Call-In 05/20/17 May 20, 2017

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 Providing a historic illustration of White victimhood, President Donald J. Trump claimed to the be the target of a "witch hunt" after gorwing accusations of wrongdoing. Speaking of allegations, former entertainer Bill Cosby gave a rare public interview and asserted that Racism motivated charges of sexual harassment against him. This "OJ Simpson" moment calls to mind the numerous times Cosby admonished Black people for blaming their troubles on whitefolks. Texas A&M's Dr. Tommy Curry hasn't been persecuted like Cosby, but the author and professor has been subjected to racial terrorism and threatened with lynching as a result of his 2012 review of the film Django Unchained. Betty Shelby, the White Race Soldier who killed unarmed black male Terence Crutcher in the summer of 2016, was exonerated of any wrongdoing. As of Friday, May 19th, she's still employed with the police department. And Richard Spencer, media darling and vanguard of the so called "alt-right," lead torch-wielding Whites in protest of the removal of confederate monuments in Virginia. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

The C.O.W.S. Coretta Scott King: MY LIFE, MY LOVE, MY LEGACY PART 8 May 19, 2017

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 8th study session on the 2017 autobiography of the late Coretta Scott King, My Life, My Love, My Legacy. Mrs. King died in January 2006. Before her transition, the civil rights icon discussed her life with acclaimed journalist, Rev. Dr. Barbara Reynolds. The New Orleans Tribune encourages everyone to read this book, calling it a timely read for the current climate of hostility and "emboldened" White Supremacy. Last week's session detailed Mrs. King being deceived by White politicians like George McGovern and former president Richard Nixon. Recognizing the political clout the civil rights icon had with many whites and a number of black people, politicians hoped for PR opportunities and the possibility of obtaining Mrs. King's endorsement. She also discussed her tremendous appreciation for former president Jimmy Carter - a fellow Georgian who often invoked the name of Dr. King. Mrs. King heavily chided black people for failing to support Carter's bid for re-election in 1980; he was trounced by Ronald Reagan. During the final portion of the text, Mrs. King describes her own considerable record of activism, including her labor to combat apartheid in South Africa. We'll compare this text to other autobiographies covered on the book club - Maya Angelou, Assata Shakur, Malcolm X. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#

The C.O.W.S. Workplace Racism 05/18/17 May 18, 2017

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our Thursday weekly caucus on Workplace Racism. The purpose for this program is to improve non-white people's problem-solving abilities and to fine-tune how black people think, speak, act and manage emotions while on the job. Any listeners who've figured out the supreme method to reduce discord with White and/or non-white co-workers, avoid demotions, write-ups, terminations or other hostility we experience under Racist labor conditions should be first to call in and share specifics. We always welcome the experiences of "black entrepreneurs;" please, let us know how being "self-employed" changes your contact with Whites on the job. We'll hear counter-racist strategies from listeners as well as individual reflections from your own work environment. Gus encourages Victims of Racism to document important workplace events. Documenting your thoughts and workplace occurrences is more reliable than memory, and the act of writing can help clarify your thinking. We'll also ask that non-white listeners share vital sections of the policy and procedure from your current place of employment. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

The termination comes after months of speculation about the bureau's probe of former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and how their inquery influenced the November election. The world celebrated after Marine Le Pen, the French presidential candidate often labeled as Racist and compared to Trump, was soundly trounced in the presidential election. After decades of political activism by freedom fighters like Fannie Lou Hamer and Medgar Evers, the ACLU charged the black Mississippians live under a state of siege and White Supremacist domination. Charles Barkley and former C.O.W.S.'s guest W. Kamau Bell lead this week's counter-racist media coverage. Both black male entertainers have fresh network shows that explicitly discuss Racism's impact on black people. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

The C.O.W.S. Coretta Scott King: MY LIFE, MY LOVE, MY LEGACY Part 7 May 12, 2017

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 7th study session on the 2017 autobiography of the late Coretta Scott King, My Life, My Love, My Legacy. It's been over a decade years since Mrs. King passed away in early 2006. Before her death, the civil rights icon documented her life with legendary journalist, Rev. Dr. Barbara Reynolds. The New Orleans Tribune advises everyone to read this book, calling it a timely read for the current climate of malice and "emboldened" White Supremacy. Last week's session chronicled Mrs. King vigorous campaign to construct the King Center in honor of her slain husband. Demonstrating phenomenal black self respect, she advocated to make sure that a substantial number of black contractors were hired in constructing the center. Mrs. King detailed how Southern Christian Leadership Conference members opposed at her effort to build the center because they felt it siphoned funds from other civil rights organizations. She also described being flattered and amazed at the "love" she experienced while visiting "white European countries!" Tragically, the book also details the murder of Dr. King's mother and the suspicious death of his brother, AD; the deaths suggest the entire King family may have been under direct white supremacist attack. We'll compare this text to other autobiographies covered during the book club - Maya Angelou, Assata Shakur, Malcolm X. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#

The C.O.W.S. w/ Dr. Howard Stevenson: Promoting Racial Literacy May 09, 2017

Show notes

Dr. Howard Stevenson visits The Context of White Supremacy. The Constance Clayton Professor of Urban Education and Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Stevenson constructs practical strategies to teach "emotional and racial literacy skills to families and youth." His areas of expertise include: African-American psychology, racial/ethnic socialization and negotiation, racial literacy and violence prevention. We'll examine his 2014 book, Promoting Racial Literacy in Schools: Differences That Make a Difference, which provides a process to "resolve face-to-face racially stressful encounters that reflect racial profiling in public spaces, fuel social conflicts in neighborhoods, and undermine student emotional well-being and academic achievement in the classroom." A C.O.W.S. listener was recently in attendace for Dr. Stevenson's Missouri lecture and asked the professor if he thought Dr. Frances Cress Welsing's definition of White Supremacy was accurate.

Like fellow South Carolina native Dylann Roof, Slager remain behind bars for the rest of his life. While one Race Soldier may be criminally prosecuted for terrorizing with a badge, the officers who killed Alton Sterling during the summer of 2016 will not be criminally charged. There were a myriad of responses to the decision in Louisiana, including Louisiana State University's announcement that their student athletes should not wear school paraphernalia if they choose protest or publicly address the non-indictment. Days after whites mandated the recognition of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, many across the country drew made paralells to Jordan Edwards - an unarmed 15-year-old black boy killed by enforcement officers in Texas. Like the beating of Rodney King, there's video footage of Edwards' final minutes of life. As of Friday, a murder warrant was issued for the arrest of Roy Oliver, the Race Solider who killed Edwards. On the other side of the globe, Marine Le Pen hopes to claim victory in this weekend's French presidential election. It could be the Donald Trump redux, as some Whites in France fear publicly supporting Le Pen could lead to accusations of racism. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

The C.O.W.S. MY LIFE, MY LOVE, MY LEGACY Part 6 May 05, 2017

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 6th study session on Coretta Scott King's 2017 autobiography, My Life, My Love, My Legacy. It's been eleven years since Mrs. King's death. Before her transition, the civil rights icon collaborated with acclaimed journalist, Rev. Dr. Barbara Reynolds. The New Orleans Tribune recommends that everyone read this book, describing it as a timely read for the current climate of aggressive and "emboldened" White Supremacy. Last week's session chronicled the Dr. King's Chicago campaign for improved housing and public service for black residents of the "Windy City." Mrs. King describes the abysmal conditions of their shabby apartment, which was a better property than what most black Chicagoans were offered. Mrs. King also documented the unabashed terrorism they were subjected to by northern Whites. Last weeks segment also detailed the April 4th 1968 assassination of Dr. King. Mrs. King provides an unflinching description of her young children finding out that their father had been killed. Harry Belafonte, Andrew Young and others offered generous support and encouragement to the King family. Former Attorney General Bobby Kennedy, who authorized COINTELPRO surveillance of Dr. King, delivered extra phone lines to the King house to help Mrs. King handle the extraordinary volume of calls. We'll contrast this text to other autobiographies covered on the book club - Maya Angelou, Assata Shakur, Malcolm X.
