The C.O.W.S.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly forum on Neutralizing Workplace Racism. Aaron Henderson's family still has no logical answers as to how he was killed inside a portable toilet. This tragedy highlights the vulnerability of black workers. We each must do all that we can to prioritize our safety in the workplace. This would apply equally to those returning to the work environment after working from home during the pandemic. We'll discuss the push to discuss politics - including Racism/White Supremacy - in the workplace. Gus would encourage that non-white people do more listening and less talking during these events. And when it is time to speak, mostly ask questions. #GoodFriday #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the fifth study session on Essie Mae Washington-Williams' Dear Senator: A Memoir by the Daughter of Strom Thurmond. We've read roughly half of the text, and Gus must admit this is one of the saddest books he's ever read. Essie Mae's confusion and father hunger for a child raping White Supremacist is... a sorrow-filled existence. Additionally, the lynchings of black males are such traumatic events in Essie Mae's life, readers can mark time by tracking black male corpses. Last week, Ms. Essie Mae detailed her experiences as a nurse at Harlem Hospital in New York. She seemed woefully discouraged from this profession because black patients are treated as worthless criminals who should die or experimented on like "guinea pigs." Her father met with her in New York to discuss her academic progress and to drop $500 on her. Thurmond excites her about attending Harvard University, only to pull the switcharoo to then encourage his secret daughter to attend South Carolina State University, the negro school. While her White father is prepping to become governor, Essie Mae's mother, Carrie Butler, appears destined for a medical catastrophe. Tragically, Essie Mae continues to hope and wish that Strom Thurmond loves she and her black mother. #DeadBeatWhiteDad INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

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 After weeks of speculation and grousing, Supreme Court Justice nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed to the highest court in the land. Speaking of conflict, the jousting continues over the controversial reparations package that was recently approved in California. Thus far, no checks have been written. Days after passage of the new anti-lynching legislation, reports are beginning to point out that black males may be prosecuted according to the new lynch law. *surprise* Interestingly, a new report suggests Whites became less concerned about the Covid-19 pandemic once it became thought of as a black person's disease. We'll also discuss the senseless death of a fourteen-year-old on a Florida "thrill" ride. Tyre Sampson was buried in Missouri this weekend, but his family continues to question why their black child's life was not valued. #CovidIsForBlackPeople #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly forum on Neutralizing Workplace Racism. A number of C.O.W.S. listeners have jobs that require security or medical clearance. One component of White Supremacy/Racism is to fabricate obstacles so that black employees fail to maintain the necessary clearance. This is another great motivator to eat healthy, drink lots of water and exercise often to maintain optimal body weight and fitness. We'll also revisit the dangers of "dating" a co-worker. Even hooking up with non-white workers colleagues can present a host of problems. We'll also hear from a number of extremely competent, accomplished black professionals who are still denied promotions and career development opportunities. We'll also discuss the horrific death of Aaron Henderson. This black male was gainfully employed and killed while at work. Specifically, he was crushed by a bulldozer while inside a portable toilet at a landfill site north Florida. His death has been ruled an accident, no criminal charges filed. Once again, black lives are not valued. It is imperative that black workers prioritize their own safety while on the job. #CounterRacismAndFoolishness #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the fourth study session on Essie Mae Washington-Williams' Dear Senator: A Memoir by the Daughter of Strom Thurmond. Having read three chapters of the book and conducted a smidgen of research, it seems equally incredible or embarrassing for a White college professor like J. Russell Hawkins to be ignorant about Strom Thurmond raping and impregnating a teenage black female. #WhitePeopleLieALot From the time Thurmond died in 2003, countless news reports acknowledged that Carrie Butler was a child at the time Thurmond raped her. Last week, Ms. Essie Mae provided another round of details about the rampant squalor black people lived in because of White Supremacy. Interestingly, she also detailed the widespread White Supremacist medical practices targeting black people in New York: "blacks in Harlem couldn't get decent medical care. Harlem Hospital, if it treated blacks at all, did so in a similar way to Coatesville Hospital, putting them in the poverty ward, or, far worse, using them as medical guinea pigs, testing medicines and therapies on them without their knowledge or consent." #HenriettaLacks She describes White senators successful efforts to block anti-lynching legislation and more and more heaps of unemployed, down and out, no count, black males. Essie Mae briefly meets with her blue-eyed, White father, Strom Thurmond, for the second time and ponders if this strange White man had a "romance" with or was just sexually "using" her mother. Tellingly, Essie Mae says she "followed" heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis. But her "heart belonged to the adorable Frank Sinatra." This White entertainer has much in common with her White dad. Sinatra was 50 when he married 21-year-old Mia Farrow, who later married Woody Allen. Sinatra was also known as "old blue eyes." #DeadBeatWhiteDad INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy (C.O.W.S.) Radio Program welcomes Dr. Donald G. Mathews. A University of North Carolina Professor Emeritus of History, Dr. Mathews's research explores memory and violence - especially the Lynching of black people in the U.S. We'll discuss his book, At the Altar of Lynching: Burning Sam Hose in the American South. Gus found this book while roaming through the University of Washington library. While searching for a book on the lynching of Zachariah Walker, I found Dr. Mathews's work on Sam Hose. The book describes how the protection of White Woman, the threat of black veterans and the preservation of White Supremacy demanded that Sam Hose (Tom Wilkes) be slaughtered. We'll discuss the homoerotic bonding that occurred between White Men who hunted Hose. We'll also discuss White male rape of black females and the consistent refusal of Whites to acknowledge centuries of Racist molestation. We also observed the recent legislation regarding anti lynching. Many years too late. #TomWilkes INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

Supreme Court Justice nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson continues to wait to see if the mostly White members of Congress will allow her to join the SCOTUS. A California task force approved reparations to individuals who can prove they are descendants of black slaves in the U.S. This and practically all other news was dwarfed by the 94th Academy Awards show. A show many had no interest in viewing. Until... #ToxicBlackMasculinity  Chris Rock (Bring The Pain 1996; "Pookie" from New Jack City 1991) hosted the event and made disparaging remarks about a number of people. This included ridiculing the hair loss of Will Smith's longtime wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Video seemed to show Mr. Smith open hand slap Rock in the face. Everyone in the universe has commented on the criminal, violent (raping), barbaric nature of the black male. Will Smith actually won an Oscar for his role as Richard Williams in the extraordinary biopic King Richard, but that's been buried. Smith resigned from the Academy and may face further sanctions. White Supremacists could not choreographic anything better. #ToxicBlackAcademyAwards #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly forum on Neutralizing Workplace Racism. Spring is here and Covid-19's on the wane - or at least it's being reported that infection rates have dropped substantially over the past month. Many folks are being asked to return to the officer. Countless black workers who've been working remotely (and loving it) dread returning to their White Supremacist colleagues. The folks who've been commuting to the workplace the whole time continue dealing with the usual suspects. We'll work to assist a black educator who's nearing completion of her graduate program. As usual, White instructors are combative, rude and unhelpful when asked to clarify information. We'll discuss the best way to get that diploma with the fewest White obstacles. We'll also give reminders about wardrobe in the workplace. Gus would recommend not being too casual when returning to the office. Sweatpants, footies, and pajamas probably won't work as well for black employees. #CounterRacismAndFoolishness #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

Having read three chapters of the book and conducted a smidgen of research, it seems equally incredible or embarrassing for a White college professor like J. Russell Hawkins to be ignorant about Strom Thurmond raping and impregnating a teenage black female. #WhitePeopleLieALot From the time Thurmond died in 2003, countless news reports acknowledged that Carrie Butler was a child at the time Thurmond raped her. Last week, Ms. Essie Mae describes returning to South Carolina for the first time since her birth. Stunningly, the first part of her trip is branded by repeated sightings of clusters of lame, impotent, out of work, unsheltered black males. This omnipresent band of brothers only found purpose when employed to clean and groom White property. Once in the Palmetto state, Carrie Butler took 16-year-old Essie Mae to meet her father, Strom Thurmond. The White man didn't acknowledge her as his daughter. The astronomical confusion produced from all of this cannot be overstated. Carrie Butler and her sister Mary describe the "tragic arrangement" with Thurmond as "falling love." The siblings conclude that Thurmond's rantings are just "politics." They detail the South Carolina tradition of White men proudly raping teenage black girls (and boys) at will. This in a state where more than 150 years of White men have griped about no count raping black males. #TragicArrangements #DeadBeatWhiteDad INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy (C.O.W.S.) Radio Program welcomes the return of Dr. Gerald Horne. Currently employed at the University of Houston holding the Moores Professorship of History and African American Studies, Dr. Horne is a distinguished scholar, prolific author and historian. We've read his biography of Paul Robeson and discussed his fascinating study of professional boxing and White Supremacy (The Bittersweet Science). Speaking of The C.O.W.S. book club, we recently completed Philip K. Dick's #TheMan in the High Castle. One of the Asian characters is mockingly called "Tojo." Gus was ignorant about Tojo until Retired Firefighter informed me about former Japanese General Hideki Tojo, who was executed as a war criminal following World War II. Gus flipped to Dr. Horne's Race War!: White Supremacy and the Japanese Attack on the British Empire and felt guilty for not having already read this extraordinary book. General Tojo is mentioned a few times. Dr. Horne details the counter-racist motivations that led Japan to battle Britain, the U.S... White people. Horne describes how central the theme of global White Supremacy is for the duration of the conflict. He gives fascinating data on the psychological wounds inflicted on Whites when Japan defeated the British - which resulted in some White men wearing dresses! And we'll discuss the failed efforts to produce a global non-white alliance. #RaceWar INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#
