The C.O.W.S. Isabel Wilkerson's CASTE Part 4
The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 4th study session on Isabel Wilkerson's 2020 offering, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Wilkerson received a 2015 National Humanities Award from former President Barack Obama and garnered widespread acclaim for her 2010 publication, The Warmth of Other Suns. Caste examines different regions of the world where groups of individuals are mistreated because they are not White. Wilkerson explores Nazi Germany, India and the United States. Gus and many C.O.W.S.'s listeners raved about Wilkerson's debut publication, but her sophomore effort is substandard. And a listener alerted Gus that Ms. Wilkerson was married to a White Man, Brett Hamilton. In fact, her #TragicArragment apparently becomes a part of the text we're reading. During last week's session, Wilkerson details similarities between Nazi Germany and the U.S. She noted that the Nazi's believed some aspects of the U.S. segregation laws were too stringent for Germany. Wilkerson's emphasizes the "separation" between Whites and black people. However, this is a common error. According to Wilkerson's own work, Whites are not "separate" from non-white people. While detailing the pillars of caste, Wilkerson describes how White enslavers were invited to "impregnate the women" they owned. According to logic, this is accurately called: rape. #WhitePower INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
