The C.O.W.S. THE HALF HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD Part VII

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 7th study session on Edward Baptist's 2014 publication, The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery And The Making Of American Capitalism. Baptist, a Suspected Racist, authored this text to highlight the enslavement and mutilation of black bodies as fundamental to the foundation and success of America. He provides confirmation that the torture and forced labor of black people was not an inefficient industrial system, nor would it have ended naturally on its own. The book chapters are named after body parts to stress how the White slave system constituted total war on black bodies. Last week's session detailed how Whites codified religious practices to further support their system of torture and oppression. Baptist quotes a Kentucky enslaver who said, "The great God above has made you for the benefit of the Whiteman, who is your law maker and law giver." Importantly, the book also acknowledges black people who rebuked the religion of White Supremacy and saw the hypocrisy of Whites paying lip service to brotherhood and righteousness while they stole and tortured multitudes of black people. This week's session explores Virginia legend and attempted counter-racist Nat Turner. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
