Live from Buffalo, New York, The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism. Even while researching the history of White Terrorism against black residents of west New York, abuse of black people at work remains a primary problem. Gus listened to Lee Pettigrew at the Frank Merriweather Library (which is one block from the east side TOPS). He was supposed to be discussing the history of WUFO - a black owned radio station. Somehow the conversation veered to black Buffalo Police officers' recent allegations of Racism from their White officers. There were similar accusations against fire departments and enforcement agencies across the US this week. In fact, just before this program aired live, Gus returned to Merriweather Library to hear Sheriff John Garcia discuss "diversity" in the Buffalo Sheriff's Office. In truth, the exchange was almost exclusively about the lack of black and non-white Sheriffs in Erie County. Sheriff Garcia maintained few black people take the exam to qualify for being a sheriff. Importantly, some in attendance pointed out the testing sights are not always located near potential applicants. There were also strong suspicions that White people do not make a sincere effort to recruit black workers. Following the discussion, some suspected that it could be Racism that helps explain why so few black sheriffs have been assigned to guard convicted Domestic Terrorist Payton Gendron. #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
