The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. David Herzberg. "A historian of drugs whose research focuses on the legal kind—psychoactive pharmaceuticals, Dr. Zerzberg explores the nature and trajectory of drug commerce, drug use, and drug policy in American racial capitalism." He's classified as a White Man and teaches at the University of Buffalo - same city as the TOP'S grocery store massacre. Along with Helen Hansen and Jules Netherland, Dr. Herzberg co-authored: WHITEOUT - How Racial Capitalism Changed the Color of Opioids in America. The 2 White and 1 non-white authors make explicit that legislation and enforcement of drug regulations is always about the maintenance of White Supremacy. We'll discuss his upbringing in a likely Racially Restricted Region/Sundown Town as well as his own use of narcotics as a White Man. We'll also inquire about odd terms in the book like "honorary blacks" - which suggests that poor White people are treated in a manner similar to black people (HUGE LIE). Dr. Herzberg was mighty loquacious during many portions of the exchange. In responding to Gus's definition of Racism/White Supremacy, Dr. Herzberg told us about "Whiteness Island" and suggested that people classified as White could somehow be "de-categorized" if they do not adhere to the White Supremacist code. Upon inspection, Dr. Herzberg conceded both suppositions are invalid. Gus did not waste time researching vacations packages for "Whiteness Island." #SobrietyWouldBeBest #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#
