The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 14th and final study session on Jack Olsen's Last Man Standing: The Tragedy and Triumph of Geronimo Pratt. Olsen is a White man, and a prolific author. He wrote for Sport Illustrated during the turbulent 1960's, and penned a celebrated series examining black athletes and Racism. The magazine also credits Olsen with writing one of the best biographies on boxing icon and attempted counter-racist Muhammad Ali. Last week, Cochran thrashed Julius Butler on the stand during the 1996 hearing. The Victim of White Supremacy and FBI/LAPD informant started off polished and professorial, but got flustered and became foul-mouthed after Cochran's questioning. Butler provided one answer that resulted in even Judge Dickey wondering if the prosecution had provided specific answers they wanted the witness to repeat. Hanlon, conversely struggled questioning Judge Richard Kalustian. While Cochran allegedly made the entire court room his stage, Hanlon looked flustered and incompetent. White Jesus's birthday provides the setting for this courtroom drama.
As we conclude the text this week, we again are reminded of Orenthal James Simpson and the widespread White disgust for him and the attorneys responsible for his acquittal. Hours before this broadcast aired live, it was reported that F. Lee Bailey died at the age of 87. He was a guest on The C.O.W.S. in 2020. #COINTELPRO #LosAngeles# INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#
