The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Racist Suspect Professor Carrie J. Preston. Classified as a White Woman, Professor Preston is the Professor of English and Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies; Arvind & Chandan Nandlal Kilachand Professor; and Director, Kilachand Honors College at Boston University. Her “research and teaching interests include modernist literature, performance, and dance, feminist and queer theory, and transnational and postcolonial studies.” The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. recently concluded Dr. Maya Angelou’s The Heart of a Woman, and we were startled by her experience with Racist Suspect Jean Genet’s The Blacks: A Clown Show. Professor Preston writes about plays like The Blacks, which cater to White “liberal” theater goers, ostensibly, to encourage Whites to Produce Justice, in her book, Complicit Participation: The Liberal Audience for Theater of Racial Justice. Obviously, White attendance at these events has not Produced Justice. In 2003, Preston attended one of the infinite showings of The Blacks where she was spotlighted as a White Woman and painted in blackface. Black audience members were horrified and came to her defense. #ToBeExpected We asked Professor Preston to disclose one Racist Joke she's heard after she confessed to hearing a couple dozen growing up in a Racially Restricted Region of Michigan. She refused our request, but did share that her White family members call Brazil nuts "Nigger Toes," even after they were informed that this was Racist behavior. In fact, they may still use this term when she's not present. Professor Preston admitted to Practicing White Supremacy/Racism, but refused to share her thoughts on the guilt or innocence of Orenthal James Simpson - who is mentioned in Complicit Participation. #NotAllWhitePeopleAreRacist #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
