  • The C.​O.​W.​S. Neutralizing Workplace Racism 06/​25/​26 Lethal Violence Against Black Employees: Alexis Hill, Brandon Lucas, Jeff Waugh, Marshay Wilson, Ethan Hillman
    On this week's Neutralizing Workplace Racism, we address a devastating eruption of physical, lethal violence targeting Black employees across the country. According to investigators, a dispute over a work schedule and text messages led to a fatal shooting of 32-year-old Brandon Lucas, a privileged black worker inside a Las Vegas Five Below store. We follow this with the tragic shooting inside Wilmington Hospital, where police confirmed that 19-year-old black intern Ethan Hillman was targeted and killed by a black intern. Next, we look at a glaring corporate betrayal out of St. Louis, where two non-white Starbucks employees were fired immediately after they successfully fought back and disarmed a pair of armed robbers. We also analyze the horrific murder of 44-year-old Alexis Hill, a black female Georgia Dollar General manager who was gunned down following an argument over a $1.58 transaction for a pack of hamburger buns. Amid record-breaking regional heatwaves, Gus delivers a vital reality check: between coworker hostility, non-existent corporate security, and ruthless corporate liability policies, the workplace has never been more dangerous. Your absolute priority on the clock is no longer corporate validation or career advancement—it is deploying emergency defensive strategies to survive your shift alive and in one piece.

  • The C.​O.​W.​S. Counter-Racist Weekly Review 06/​20/​26 The Police Killing of 1-Year-Old Kohen Wiley #SummerSolstice
    This week, we analyze the ongoing enforcement of racial terror, deceptive political monuments, and state policy:
    - The Mississippi Walmart Shooting: We dissect the horrific police shooting in Senatobia, Mississippi, where an officer responding to an alleged shoplifting call fired directly into a vehicle, killing 1-year-old Black child Kohen Wiley. We apply counter-racist logic to deconstruct how the system prioritizes white corporate property over Black lives, scrutinizing the media’s language surrounding "suspects" and "theft" to camouflage state-sanctioned infant murder.
    The Obama Presidential Center Deconstruction: We scrutinize the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center on Chicago's South Side. Deconstructing the corporate celebration, we deploy fresh investigative data showing that the city's heavily publicized "housing preservation ordinances" were a complete administrative fraud. We break down how $2 million in housing funds sat unspent while real estate developers aggressively price Black residents out of Woodlawn, proving the system uses the image of a Black president as a deceptive marketing tool to execute the economic clearance of Black people.

  • The C.​O.​W.​S. Michelle Alexander's 🐮🛎️ The New Jim Crow Part 10 White Victims of White Supremacy? (Like Michelle's White Momma) #Juneteenth
    The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 10th session on lyin' Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.
    Alexander has a living White mother and a deceased Black father. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration for her work, Gus T. anticipated this title being one of the "5 Worst Books Ever." History shows that racists generally do not promote literature that provides an accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy.
    Deception by Omission & Respectability Hypocrisy: A serious exploration of prisons and Racism must account for the systemic forces that built them. This week, we expose the staggering double standard at the heart of Alexander's narrative as she wades into the murky waters of respectability politics and cultural policing.
    Last week's review included:
    1. The Cosby Contradiction & Elite Scolding: Alexander mocks the media for fawning over Bill Cosby’s stern lectures to Black audiences about personal responsibility. Yet, in the very next breath, she launches into her own academic "Pound Cake speech"—scolding black youth for "raunchy" hip-hop music, "decadent" culture, and sagging britches, pathologizing the community from her elite Stanford high-horse.
    2. The Muted Terror of Jon Burge: While Alexander takes considerable time to discuss Chicago's carceral system in analytical detail, she practices a complete, sinister silence regarding police commander Jon Burge. She refuses to write one mumbling word about his decades-long campaign of racist torture, systemic black misandry, and the state-sanctioned genital mutilation of Black males.
    3. The Death of "Colorblindness": By completely erasing Burge’s violent, targeted torture ring out of the South and West Sides of Chicago, Alexander protects her fraudulent thesis. Acknowledging that the state explicitly tortured black males to manufacture false confessions would completely obliterate her safe, mainstream notion of a neutral, "colorblind" bureaucratic system.

  • The C.​O.​W.​S. Neutralizing Workplace Racism 06/​18/​26 The Escalation of Workplace Violence
    On this week's Neutralizing Workplace Racism, we continue our urgent multi-part series on escalating workplace violence against Black and non-white employees.
    We dive deep into the harrowing fatal shooting involving two Las Vegas city maintenance employees that erupted at a municipal yard after months of verbal confrontations. We analyze a dangerous, recurring pattern where everyday picking, petty name-calling, and general office discourtesy are systematically ignored by corporate management until they boil over into real-world bloodshed, fired shots, and destroyed lives.
    Next, we tackle the psychological trap of corporate environments: the illusion of external validation. We break down why relying on management for performance reinforcement is a losing battle, as even the most brilliant non-white employees are routinely denied praise and acknowledgment due to the System of White Supremacy.
    Finally, Gus delivers a crucial, hard-hitting reality check: your primary objective on the clock must shift from seeking corporate approval or climbing the ladder to simply surviving your shift alive and in one piece. We even sneak in a critical word on the so-called "Juneteenth" holiday.

  • The C.​O.​W.​S. Counter-Racist Weekly Review 06/​13/​26 The Counter-Racist Logic of Karmelo Anthony's Conviction
    The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 06/13/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We’ll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people.
    #ANTIBLACKNESS
    This week, we analyze the predictable mechanics of judicial injustice and the harsh realities confronting Black males under a system of state-sanctioned dominance:
    1. The Counter-Racist Logic of the Anthony Trial: We dissect the ongoing Karmelo Anthony murder trial to reinforce why Black people cannot afford to be shocked by all-white juries, hostile judges, or inept public defenders. Gus breaks down how these outcomes are the logical, expected features of a System of White Supremacy—especially when a Black suspect is accused of killing a white person.
    2. The Loss of Stacey King: We reflect on the passing of former NBA player and Chicago Bulls broadcaster Stacey King at age 59. We examine his life through a counter-racist lens, analyzing the structural illusion of the "privileged Black male" and the systemic pressures that follow Black men regardless of their status or wealth.
    3. Juniper Blessing and the Pacific Northwest: We investigate the devastating local impact of Juniper Blessing's death right here in Seattle. We look at the unique, compounding isolation of navigating the Pacific Northwest as a Black male, and how this loss underscores an environment where survival is already an uphill battle.

  • The C.​O.​W.​S. Michelle Alexander's 🐮🛎️ The New Jim Crow Part 9 "Many Wonderful, Good-Hearted White People"
    The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 9th session on Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration In the Age of Colorblindness. Alexander has a living White mother and a deceased black father. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration for her work, Gus T. anticipated this title being one of the "5 Worst Books Ever." History shows that racists generally do not promote literature that provides an accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy.
    Deception by Omission: A serious exploration of prisons and Racism must account for the systemic forces that built them. This book's failure to center COINTELPRO, the torture legacy of Chicago’s Jon Burge, or the raw profitability of caging Black men suggests Alexander is guilty of a whole lot of lying.
    This week, we dismantle the sheer absurdity of Alexander's "Passing" analogy. She explicitly equates a Black worker maintaining basic professional boundaries at an office job to a light-skinned Black person cutting off their family to "pass" as White under Jim Crow. We expose how this completely irrational logic reinforces the significance of her biracial background—revealing a detached, elite perspective that pathologizes normal Black workplace survival tactics.
    We also pull the receipts on her consistent pattern of selective framing. Alexander repeatedly highlights interviewees who struggle with the King’s English, curse, and are framed as illiterate or incompetent—inadvertently validating the exact racist stereotypes that suggest Black people don't deserve justice. Plus, we expose her total historical erasure of Chicago police commander Jon Burge, showing how her academic elite narrative completely mutes real-world structural terror.

  • The C.​O.​W.​S. Neutralizing Workplace Racism 06/​11/​26 Black Employee On Black Employee Violence
    On this week's Neutralizing Workplace Racism, we confront a grim and urgent reality: the ultimate breakdown of safety and escalating workplace violence.
    We unpack two disturbing new incidents where workplace frustrations and corporate failures turned life-threatening for Black employees:
    - The Amazon Garage Shooting: We look at the chilling details surrounding an Amazon facility where an employee is accused of shooting a coworker inside the company parking garage.
    The McAlister's Deli Assault: We analyze the systemic pressures and volatile environments behind an employee accused of choking his coworker after being passed over for a promotion.
    Plus, Gus delivers a crucial, hard-hitting reality check: your primary objective on the clock must shift from climbing the corporate ladder to simply surviving your shift alive and in one piece.

  • The C.​O.​W.​S. w/ Racist Suspect Eric Lichtblau: White Supremacy in Orange County, California; Interupting Racists 'Resent' Being Labeled Racist
    How did a sunny Southern California suburb become a primary incubator for modern neo-Nazi violence? In this episode, we sit down with Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Eric Lichtblau to discuss his groundbreaking new book, *American Reich: A Murder in Orange County, Neo-Nazis, and a New Age of Hate*.
    We examine homegrown White Terrorist operations, focusing on a deeply disturbing pattern: why White Supremacist military personnel are routinely ignored, allowing them to weaponize and deploy lethal, state-funded training for White Terrorist agendas.
    We also interrogate one of the book's core themes—Lichtblau's comparison of people classified as White and LGBTQ with people classified as black. During this particular exchange, Lichtblau became acutely defensive, interrupting Gus at every turn. The host resorted to asking the Suspected Racist guest if he "was done?" Lichtblau answered affirmatively, paused for 10 seconds, and then immediately began speaking over Gus again. This discourteous and uncouth conduct prompted Gus to label the behavior a deliberate act of White Supremacy/Racism. Lichtblau claimed this is the first time a non-White person has ever accused him of practicing Racism.
    First time for everything, I reckon.
    Tune in for an unfiltered, urgent interrogation of the System of White Supremacy in the Golden State and how White people practice White Supremacy,

    This week, we analyze the ongoing enforcement of racial terror and state policy:
    1. The Karmelo Anthony Trial & Jury Selection: We break down the opening week of the highly charged Karmelo Anthony murder trial in Texas. Gus analyzes how the prosecution successfully struck down qualified Black jurors—leaving an all-white-and-minority panel with zero Black representation—and why this troubling lack of diversity is exactly what Gus predicted.
    2. Ultra-Processed Foods as the New Tobacco: We examine the growing consensus among scientists and public health advocates warning that ultra-processed foods are engineering a global health crisis. We dissect the corporate playbooks, addictive formulations, and aggressive marketing strategies that closely mirror the historical predatory tactics of Big Tobacco.
    3. The "Golden Age" of Gun Rights: We investigate the shifting landscape of the Second Amendment under President Trump. We analyze recent statements from prominent white gun rights organizations celebrating this era as a political peak for firearm deregulation, and explore the systemic implications of who actually benefits from these expanding protections.

  • The C.​O.​W.​S. Michelle Alexander's 🐮🛎️ The New Jim Crow Part 8 Michelle Alexander Demonstrates Flagrant Contempt for Black People #AntiBlackness
    The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 8th session on Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration In the Age of Colorblindness. Alexander has a living White mother and a deceased black father. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration for her work, Gus T. anticipated this title being one of the "5 Worst Books Ever." History shows that racists generally do not promote literature that provides an accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy.
    Deception by Omission: A serious exploration of prisons and Racism must account for the systemic forces that built them. This book's failure to center COINTELPRO, the torture legacy of Chicago’s Jon Burge, or the raw profitability of caging Black men suggests Alexander is guilty of a whole lot of lying.
    Last week's review included:
    1. The "Basically" Deception & The Audio Patch: Alexander claims the 10th Anniversary edition is "basically" the same book. Yet, each week listeners stumble into brand-new pages of text offering substantially alternate information from what Alexander previously scrawled.
    2. Undermining Her Own Thesis: While most edits involve new content, last week revealed a rare deletion from the 10th-anniversary edition. The original version notes “racial bias in a system that purports to be colorblind.” The term purport suggests White people are not vision-restricted, but rather, willfully focused on caging infinite numbers of Black men. Removing this sentence suggests Alexander is aware of the lies she's peddling.
    3. Sleeping With The Prosecutor: Alexander details the life-altering power and discretion prosecuting attorneys wield over non-white defendants. Because of this, listeners questioned why the author failed to disclose her husband Carter Stewart's extensive prosecutorial conduct, and how his career affirms the very system she critiques.
