Friday, August 20th 8:00PM Eastern/ 5:00PM Pacific The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly forum on Neutralizing Workplace Racism. Summer 2021 concludes with swirling confusion about many things. A return to school is looming for many children and university scholars, but policies about masks and vaccines for educators and academic staff remain contentious and varies wildly depending on geography. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis threatened to block payment to Florida educators who defy his orders and require students to wear masks. Beyond the classroom, other workers are grappling with similar conditions. Some proprietors are leery of returning to mask mandates for fear of losing customers. Conversely, other establishments have instituted vaccine mandates for employees and customers. And within all this, black workers continue to be scolded for wearing Black Lives Matter paraphernalia in the workplace. #CareerDay INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Invest in The C.O.W.S. - https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S.

Byron Allen is back in the news making headlines again after his failed lawsuit against Comcast in the not-so-distant past. As is usually the case when a Black person makes moves to acquire wealth, his latest acquisition is being applauded by some in the Black community with little critical thinking and scrutiny.

Thursday, August 19th 8:00PM Eastern/ 5:00PM Pacific The Context of White Supremacy hosts the third study session on Woody Allen's Apropos of Nothing. One of the most critically acclaimed directors of all time, Woody Allen is a New York City and entertainment icon. In addition to his flicks, he's performed comedy, played packed concert halls, and written books - Apropos of Nothing being his most recent. Published in 2020, the text examines his life, celebrated career, and "romance" with Soon-Yi Previn. In addition to being non-white and decades younger than Allen, Previn was Allen's adopted stepchild. Despite a damning Child Protective Services investigation and years of allegations of child rape and sexual abuse of children, Allen remains beloved my hoards of Whites. We'll examine this work for what it reveals about White culture. Last week's session saw Allen details his obsession/fetish with black male musicians. Allen describes swooning over the "primitive"musical sounds of New Orleans artists like Louis Armstrong. While holding tight to his allegation that decades ago, he was at least an average baseball player, Allen divulges that he's a technological cluts who needs his wife to do everything from changing the time on the clocks to operating the buttons on the television. In fact, his hand-eye-coordination is so deficient he testifies to bashing a number of cars and fleeing the scene of an accident. Tellingly, Allen describes his so-called love life as: "The Theater of the Absurd." He rattles off a number of romantic dates from his youth, where females concocted all manner of excuse and made haste departing his company. #AntiAsianViolence INVEST in The COWS – paypal.me/TheCOWS The C.O.W.S.

This episode of BTR News will revisit the BTR News podcast – The Willie Lynch Letter & The Black Attack On Black Identified Christians and try to address issues brought up by audience members concerning it. 

Friday, August 13th 8:00PM Eastern/ 5:00PM Pacific https://www.blacktalkradionetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/San-Franciscos-Vaccine-Mandate-Prompts-Pushback-From-Employ.mp4 The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism. The Pentagon announced that members of the armed services will be required to accept Covid-19 inoculations. In a growing number of regions and business, companies are taking a firmer stance that employees must be vaccinated and/or face stringent testing. Medical professionals as well as state and federal employees are also being cajoled to accept vaccinations. A substantial number of White and non-white workers have balked at requirements; some insisting they're quit before rolling up their sleeve. We'll see how C.O.W.S. listeners are responding to the increased pressure. #CareerDay INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Invest in The C.O.W.S. - https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S.

We examine this work for what it reveals about White culture. Last week's opening session saw Allen recount his youth as a competent baseball player and his love of girls at school. Allen describes his "thug life" parents in great deal. He says his father's dishonesty was a part of his DNA. Apparently, Allen's dad never saw a gun he didn't like, trafficked in stolen goods, and consorted with all manner of White hoodlums. #AntiAsianViolence INVEST in The COWS – paypal.me/TheCOWS The C.O.W.S.

In a follow up to the last podcast, “Mali’s King Mansa Musa Was A Wealthy Slaver”, coincidently or by providence, a friend on Facebook shared an article published in 2018 by Face2FaceAfrica about a Ghanaian Prince sold into slavery in the 1700s after his father entrusted him to the captain of a slaver’s ship to transport him to England to study but instead was sold into slavery. Was this a tragedy or karma? While his father was able to secure his release, the story does not have a happy ending.

Recently I came across a meme featuring Malian King Mansa Musa and how a person wanted to see a film about the man who was deemed to be one of the wealthiest men who ever lived who gave so much gold away in Egypt on his famous trek in Africa, that it caused the gold markets to crash.  I was first introduced to King Mansa Musa back in high school in the 80’s when I saw one of those Budweiser marketing displays about the “Great Kings and Queens of Africa” in a bar that I was not to supposed to be in. I didn’t think anything of it other than cool, a African King. It was later when one of the former podcasters I knew used an image of Mansa as his cover art. The show was in part about generating wealth. I then decided to look up information on King Musa and discovered he enslaved people and being a modern slavery abolitionist, I questioned the choice.  So coming across the meme armed with information I had learned previously, I simply stated a fact which was that his wealth was acquired from gold mines worked by victims of slavery and that his “flossing” or “showing off” his wealth, put a target on Africa which brought more and more Arabs and Europeans to Africa. Therefore in my own meme, in the description I wrote that I would like to see the film as well, but only if it is historically accurate. This resulted in some pushback which I will share on this podcast including the research by Balanta scholar by the name of Siphiwe Baleka who formerly identified as African American or Black.  Source Material: THE MALI KINGDOM AND MANSA MUSA WERE IMPERIALIST SLAVE TRADERS: REVISITING AFRICAN HISTORY FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE OPPRESSED
