The Context of White Supremacy welcomes the return of Cameron McWhirter, Racist Suspect. An author and reporter for The Wall Street Journal, McWhirter is a White man and Atlanta, Georgia resident. He covers politics and US news for the WSJ. McWhirter visited The C.O.W.S. back in 2011 to discuss his book Red Summer: The Summer of 1919 & the Awakening of Black America. This work examines the myriad of terrorist attacks against black people across the US and how this terrorist start to the 20th century birthed a number of attempted counter-racist organizations. The great Carter G. Woodson was nearly killed by a Racist White mob in the nation’s capitol during this macabre 1919 White pogrom. In 2023, McWhirter teamed up with Zusha Elision to write American Gun: The True Story of The AR-15. The book provides details on Eugene Stoner’s iconic black rifle that changed military and world history. This book mentions so many familiar, tragic events and people in the history of White Supremacy: the Columbine massacre of 1999; the Buffalo, New York TOPS massacre of 2022; the Uvalde school slaughter of 2022; the 2017 Las Vegas music festival slaughter; the 2020 Wisconsin protests where Kyle Rittenhouse killed two White people and wounded another. All these abominable events - except Columbine - involved the firearm of our times, Stoner's AR-15/M16 assault rifle. Gus is curious why there are no pictures of non-white people in this text and why McWhirter and his co-author mostly provide extra details about shooting victims who are classified as White. We learn lots of extra tidbits about a German White Woman who survived the Vegas carnage and the White parents who lost a child at Sandy Hook. American Gun provides no insight to the anguish the AR-15 has wreaked on the family and friends of Katherine Massey and the other TOPS victims or the non-white parents in Uvalde. When asked about this discrepancy, McWhirter highlighted the book went to publishing prior to Gendron's conviction and shortly after the 2022 massacres in Uvalde and Buffalo - which limited their access to information about these still developing cases. Gus also emphasized that McWhirter and Elision frequently fail to explicitly identify White people as the target audience to purchase assault rifles as well as the primary obstacle to sensible gun regulation. #FireArms #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
