The C.O.W.S Frantz Fanon: The Wretched of the Earth Part 8

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the eighth study session on Frantz Fanon's 1961 "classic", The Wretched of the Earth. Born in Martinique in 1925, Fanon is a globally admired psychiatrist who dedicated his 36 years of life to eliminating White terrorism. He battled for Algerian independence from French colonial oppression and black liberation world wide. Fanon also authored Black Skin, White Mask, which is a psychoanalysis of the debauchery and neurosis that drives the sexual activity between Whites and black people. Interestingly, Fanon himself married a White woman. The writer and psychiatrist died from leukemia the same year The Wretched of the Earth was published; it's reported that Fanon's health deteriorated to the point that he dictated segments of the text to his White spouse. During Last week's session, Fanon explained that "colonialism" deliberately destroyed traces of African history and accomplishments so that White culture would represent the totality of human ingenuity. However, Fanon warned against thinking that all black people's problems can be solved by retreating to romanticized African history. In contrasting the abuse black people experience around the globe, Fanon concluded that black people in the United States experience a form of White Supremacy substantively different from the colonial tyranny in Africa. Since Gus has lampooned this text for weeks, we ask listeners to ponder why this book is so celebrated - especially by Whites. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#
