The C.O.W.S. Isabel Wilkerson's CASTE: The Origins Of Our Discontents Part 5

October 08, 2020

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 5th 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 continues to describe her 8 pillars of caste. An astute listener compared her 8 pillars to Neely Fuller Jr.'s 9 area of people activity. She detailed how Whites in the U.S. and in Nazi Germany restricted access on marriage just as the dominant caste in India. However, she repeatidly declines to describe White sexual abuse of black people as rape. She also ignores that black males and children were and are routinely the victims of White male and female rapists. #WhitePower INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
