    The C.​O.​W.​S. w/ Dr. Kellen Hoxworth: Minstrels Shows & The Global Culture of White Supremacy 🎭
    Feb 1 2026
    The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Kellen Hoxworth. Classified as a White Man, Dr. Hoxworth is an “Assistant Professor of Theatre at the University of Buffalo, State University of New York. His academic interests focus on the intersections between performance, race, and coloniality, particularly in African and Black diasporic performance.” During our recent discussing with Dr. Chad Montrie, he told us that while researching Racially Restricted Regions of Minnesota he was inundated with blackface and minstrel show images. Dr. Montrie said, “They were everywhere.” At the schools, in the libraries, at the political meetings. All areas of people activity. The ubiquitous nature of these images motivated him to write a book on the subject and spurred Gus research other material on these racial performances. I soon located, Dr. Hoxworth’s Transoceanic Blackface: Empire, Race, Performance. This 2024 publication asserts that minstrels shows are not a uniquely “american” form of entertainment. Rather, blackface and minstrel show performances where a crucial component of a global White Culture. People classified as White in every region of the globe partook in the humor and domination of the minstrel show. They are a massive component of what it means to be classified as White. #WhatDoesItMeanToBeWhite #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

    The C.​O.​W.​S. Char Adams' Black-Owned: The Revolutionary Life of the Black Bookstore Part 4 #EsoWonBooks #WaitingToExhale
    Jan 31 2026
    The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 4th study session on Char Adams' Black-Owned: The Revolutionary Life of the Black Bookstore. Published at the end of 2025, Adams' new book made a number of lists for top books of the year. Touted as an "award-winning journalist, editor, and storyteller for NBC News, known for her work on race, identity, and inequitable systems," Adams is a lovely black female, Victim of Racism. This may be the first to seriously investigate the history of bookstores operated by people classified as black in the area of the world known as the US. Specifically, Adams investigates how black people have responded to the System of White Supremacy through the lens of bookstores ownership. C.O.W.S. listeners should know that White Supremacists have invested immense time and energy to ensure that black people do not read or have access to books. So, black bookstores must be heavily targeted places. Last week, we discussed the Tree of Life Bookstore in Harlem and the Hue-Man Experience Bookstore in Denver. A central theme of this text is that black bookstore operators were motivated to provide books for black children. Importantly, last week Adams told us that a significant pattern is that black females often read fictional romance novels - like Terry McMillan's Waiting To Exhale, while black males mostly read non-fiction works of history. Gus notes that many of the fictional novels most popular with black females often omit the System of White Supremacy while highlighting black males as feverish, misogynistic ogres. #COINTELPRO #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

    The C.​O.​W.​S. Neutralizing Workplace Racism 01/​29/​26 #ExpiredChipsForBlackWorkers
    Jan 30 2026
    The Context of White Supremacy (C.O.W.S.) Radio Program hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 01/29/26. While nurses in the US started the new year with strikes for better work conditions, a black female nurse in he United Kingdom, Jennifer Melle, concluded a horrendous ordeal after being accused of "misgendering" a White Race Soldier and alleged child rapist. Employed at Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, Nurse Melle reportedly called a White patient "Mr" and "he." The Racist demanded that Nurse Melle address them as a female. She informed her patient that her religious beliefs forbid her from identifying them as female. The Racist began spewing Racist slurs and threatening Nurse Melle, who was later charged with "misgendering" this volatile Racist. When people beyond the hospital became aware of this conflict, Melle was accused of breaching confidentiality and sharing private information about the White patient. Although this happened across the pond, this harrowing workplace experience offers many lessons for Victims of Racism. around the globe. And one of our listeners provides a tacky illustration of why we should always refrain from accepting food from coworkers (or strangers) while on the job. As Neely Fuller Jr. told us, it does not get an better than tacky. #WinterWeather #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

    The C.​O.​W.​S. w/ Dr. Joshua Clark Davis: Local Police Surveillance of Attempted Counter-Racists
    Jan 29 2026
    The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Joshua Clark Davis. Classified as a White Man, Dr. Davis is an associate professor of U.S. history at the University of Baltimore. Much of his research examines area of law, politics, and economics within the System of White Supremacy. Gus learned about Dr. Davis’ work while studying Char Adams’ fabulous new work Black-Owned: The Revolutionary Life of the Black Bookstore. A major point of emphasis is that White Supremacists have invested extraordinary time and energy for centuries to prohibit black people from reading and studying about Racism. Consequently, black bookstores were key targets of Racist counterintelligence programs and sabotage. Adams’ book was directly inspired by a 2016 report from Davis, The FBI's War on Black-Owned Bookstores. Gus hoped to discuss Davis’ 2020 publication, From Head Shops to Whole Foods: The Rise and Fall of Activist Entrepreneurs. This book as a while chapter discussing the obstacles and labor of black bookstore owners. However, Dr. Davis requested to focus on his 2025 publication, Police Against the Movement: The Sabotage of the Civil Rights Struggle and the Activists Who Fought Back. This important work examines how local police departments sabotage and spy on black people who attempt counter-racism. Examinations of the FBI’s COINTELPRO program often fail to examine the separate local surveillance operations which also labored to neutralize any counter-racist effort of non-white people. This book reveals many examples of White people lying by willfully concealing information. #TheGlassHouseTapes #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

    Jan 25 2026
    The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 01/24/25. 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. This weekly 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 On the week Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s federal holiday is observed in the US, several little non-white boys and little non-white girls had their hands shackled by ICE agents for detention. Reports indicate children as young as 2 years old were detained this week. Across the pond in Zimbabwe, White farmers are asking that President Trump reverse the late Robert Mugabe's attempted counter-racist agricultural reforms. This parallels Trump and Elon Musk's claims that people classified as White in South Africa are being mistreated. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

    The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 3rd study session on Char Adams' Black-Owned: The Revolutionary Life of the Black Bookstore. Published in 2025, Adams' new book made a number of lists for top books of the year. Listed as an "award-winning journalist, editor, and storyteller for NBC News, known for her work on race, identity, and inequitable systems," Adams is a lovely black female, Victim of Racism. This book examines the history of people classified as black in the area of the world known as the US.

C.O.W.S. listeners should know that White Supremacists have invested immense time and energy to ensure that black people do not read or have access to books. So, black bookstores must be heavily targeted places. Last week, we learned about the demise of Drum & Spear Bookstore in Washington, D.C. and Martin Sostre's now defunct Afro Asian Book Shop in Buffalo's Eastside. This shop was located on Jefferson Avenue less than 800 feet from the future TOPS Market where 10 black people would be killed in a 2022 White Terrorist attack. Adams also details Liberation Bookstore in Harlem, Hakim's Book's in Philadelphia, and Vaughn's Book Store in Detroit. All of these locations were assumed to be hubs of black "extremism" and subject to FBI surveillance and Racist thuggery. #COINTELPRO #TheCOWS16Years 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 hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 01/22/26. The week began with a federal observation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "holiday." Hopefully a few victims got a reprieve from the plantation or a few extra nickels for their labor. Last week, in Wisconsin, a pregnant female group home employee was assaulted by a pair of baseball bat wielding goons. She was exiting the facility at the end of her shift at 7am and was attacked in route to her vehicle. Although she survived, the incident reminded Gus that safety in workplace extends from the job site all the way to the parking area and beyond. We also get a tragic reminder of why "dating" coworkers is vehemently discouraged here at The C.O.W.S. Privileged black males might be handsome and charming on Monday. By Friday, Leroy might have a restraining order in place against him. The workplace is not the best place to look for sexual partners. #WhiteCronyism #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

The privileged black teen was accused of shoplifting approximately $6 worth of property in 2012. As opposed to calling enforcement officials or contacting the child's parents, three White Men who were not store employees summarily suffocated the black teen before enforcement officials arrived. Speaking of US history, lesser known "Civil Rights" heroine Claudette Colvin passed away this week at the age 86. Like Rosa Parks and countless other black people who were terrorized and arrested while riding Racist public transportation, Colvin's refusal to acquiesce to a Racist driver's orders were initially obscured because she was pregnant and not "respectable" for a Racist public - which included Sen. Strom Thurmond. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
