The C.O.W.S. Compensatory Call-In 12/17/16 Dec 17, 2016

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 Dylann Storm Roof, the 22-year-old White Man who butchered nine black worshippers - including an elected official, was found guilty on all 33 counts in federal court. Before being convicted, prosecutors released evidence that Roof had a catalog of other black churches at the time of his arrest - suggesting he thought of killing more unarmed back people. A witness testified that someone in Roof's house called Mother Emanuel AME months before the June 2015 terrorist attack and new GPS evidence showed Roof visited the church more than once in the months before his assault - showing the meticulous preparation invested in this operation. The sentencing phase of the trial will begin in January; Roof will reportedly represent himself during this portion of the proceedings. Another White Man regularly labeled a White Supremacist, President-elect Donald J. Trump met with retired football players Jim Brown and Ray Lewis about how he can help "make African Americans great again." The almost-president also spent time with recording artist Kanye West - who has reportedly dyed his hair blond and is still recovering from mental health trauma. #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. Gwen Ifill, THE BREAKTHROUGH Part 2 Dec 16, 2016

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 2nd study session on Gwen Ifill's 2009 bestseller, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. An award-winning journalist and anchor at PBS, Ifill, 61, died from cancer in November of this year. Ifill was one of the few black female mainstream journalists, and she courageously acknowledged that Racism impacted her career. It may have been a element in her passing at such a young age. During the first week's session, we noted that the title of the book contained the word "race," not Racism. This precise difference often reflects a conscious or unconscious attempt to obscure or dilute White pathology and commitment to Racism/White Supremacy. In the early stages of The Breakthrough, Ifill suggests that the election of Barack Obama represented tangible proof that some Whites might be willing to part with Racism. Ifill posits that rockstar black politicians like President Obama, Senator Corey Booker, and Governor Duval Patrick represent the evolution of black political powerbrokers who don't overtly discuss Racism and have the necessary credentials to awe White voters. Ifill writes that civil rights gadflies like Jesse Jackson Sr. and Al Sharpton frighten White people, and a part of President Obama's success was keeping them at bay. Listeners should contrast Ifill's presentation of Racism with the pending Trump Administration. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our weekly forum on Workplace Racism. This broadcast is uniquely devised to fortify our problem-solving skills and to codify how black people think, speak, act and manage our emotions while on the job. Any listeners who have unearthed the best strategies to reduce hassle with White and/or non-white co-workers, avoid demotions, write-ups, terminations or the other usual problems we experience under Racist work conditions should be first to call in and share particulars. We're always keen to hear the experiences of Black "entrepreneurs." Please, report on how being "self employed" changes the way you deal with Whites on the job. We'll hear counter-racist strategies from listeners as well as individual reflections from your own work environment. The holiday season continues, and some of our listeners have angered Whites for refusing to attend office parties. We'll review counter-racist approaches for office parties or potential gift exchanges. We'll also request that non-white listeners share important segments of 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 C.O.W.S. Compensatory Call-In 12/10/16 Dec 10, 2016

We'll examine news reports from the past seven days and - hopefully - promote a constructive dialog. #ANTIBLACKNESS The media glare intensified on the state of South Carolina. Michael Slager, the former police officer who killed unarmed Walter Scott, walked free after a mistrial. Two days after failing to convict one White killer, the federal death penalty trial of White Terrorist Dylann Storm Roof began. If convicted, Roof could be executed for his June 2015 terrorist attack on Mother Emanuel AME Church, where he massacred 9 black worshippers including an elected official. The trial began by recounting the grousome details of Roof's purge. In Louisiana, a different White killer, Ronald Gasser, was finally arrested for killing former NFL star Joe McKnight. Gasser, who has a criminal history of "road rage," shot and killed the unarmed McKnight on Thursday of last week, but enjoyed his freedom until Monday of this week. Sheriff Newell Normand gave a profanity-filled press conference announcing Gasser's arrest and castigating critics who believe the killer should have been detained sooner. #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. Gwen Ifill, THE BREAKTHROUGH Part 1 Dec 09, 2016

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the premier study session on Gwen Ifill's 2009 publication, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. An award-winning journalist and anchor at PBS, Ifill, 61, died from cancer in November of this year. Ifill was a black female journalist in a field dominated by White men, and she admitted that Racism impacted her career. It may have been a contributing factor in the deterioration of her health. In The Breakthrough, Ifill deconstructs the significance of Barack Obama winning the 2008 presidential election. Her analysis looks at the history and evolution of White Supremacy in this part of the world and how Racism became a fundamental issue in the election. She explores the kerfuffle involving Pres. Obama's relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and how having a White parent influenced perception and opinion of the Illinois senator. We hope this reading will honor Ifill's life and work, and we'll take the chance to compare the beginning of the "Obama Administration" with the rise of President-elect Donald J. Trump. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#

President-elect Donald Trump labeled Castro a "brutal dictator," while Soledad O'Brien recounted her Cuban mother's memories of Castro's callous and vindictive rule. Jesse Jackson Sr. and Mumia Abu-Jamal recalled Castro's military support of the anti-apartheid effort in South Africa, offer of medical aid during Hurricane Katrina, the safe haven provided to former Black Panther Assata Shakur, and his rendezvous with Minister Malcolm X during his 1960 visit to the United States. Calls to scold the deceased Cuban leader for his acts of brutality seem particularly ironic on this week, when Mecklenburg District Attorney Andrew Murray announced that no charges would be filed for the killing of Keith Lamont Scott. Murray used the occasion to reprimand reckless negro use of social media. Simultaneously and further south, the Walter Scott murder trial is being deliberated by the jury. South Carolina police officer Michael Slager waits to see if he too will be exonerated for extinguishing a black life. Fellow South Carolinian Dylann Storm Roof will represent himself in his death penalty case for the 2015 terrorist attack on Mother Emanuel AME. #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. THE RISING TIDE OF COLOR AGAINST WHITE WORLD SUPREMACY Part 6 Dec 02, 2016

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 6th study session on Lothrop Stoddard's signature work, The Rising Tide Of Color Against White World Supremacy. In the days before her 2015 passing, author and counter-racist scientist Dr. Frances Cress Welsing recommended that black people conduct a serious appraisal of Stoddard to better grasp White Supremacy. A journalist and Harvard-educated historian, Stoddard was an intellectual icon of the early 1900's. He was one of the most prominent champions of Eugenics - the belief that better Whites should have more kids, while lesser Whites and especially non-white people should not procreate. During last week's session, Stoddard asserted that, historically, Whites have "instinctively" unified to ward off non-white threats. But he feared that Whites may become preoccupied with greedy national interests and lose sight of preserving the dominion of the White race. Stoddard bemoans the #WhiteOnWhiteCime of World War One. He emphasizes how the devastation and killing of battle retarded the reproductive rates of White Women and killed a large portion of young White Men - a double whammy. Stoddard warns future White Supremacists that squabbling with other individuals classified as White could doom global White Power. Stoddard seemed particularly concerned that Asians could become a legitamate threat and may warrant a less flagrant, more refined form of war. We hope students of Dr. Welsing will actively engage in these sessions. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#

The C.O.W.S. INDEFENSIBLE: The Wrongful Prosecution of the UAlbany Three Nov 30, 2016

Show notes

The Context of White Supremacy reviews the film, INDEFENSIBLE: The Wrongful Prosecution of the Albany Three. The filmmakers will join us to re-examine an important incident from the beginning of 2016. Three black female University of Albany students, Ariel Agudio, Asha Burwell, and Alexis Briggs, reported that a mob of drunken White passengers assailed them on a CDTA public bus. Many expressed outrage about the incident, including presidential candidate Hillary R. Clinton, who posted, "There's no excuse for racism and violence on a college campus." However, weeks after the incident, university police publicized segments of video. Officials concluded the footage absolved the White passengers of any wrongdoing and proceeded to charge the three black females with assault and filing a false report. The three were indicted in May. "The University of Albany expelled Agudio and Burwell and suspended Briggs for two years. INDEFENSIBLE "examines the ways both race and racism are viewed," and highlights "the inherent problems in allowing the benefactors of racism to define and legitimize what constitutes a racially motivated act." We'll interrogate how this case has been reported and where things currently stand. #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
