The C.​O.​W.​S. Michelle Alexander's 🐮🛎️ The New Jim Crow Part 3 #JohnFoxKennedyIsRacist #VietnamWar

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the second study session on Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration In the Age of Colorblindness. Alexander is a non-white female with one White parent and one non-white parent. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration, Gus T. anticipates this being one of the 5 Worst Books Ever. Racists generally do not promote literature that provides an accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy. Deception by Omission: Any book that claims to seriously explore prisons and Racism, yet fails to include COINTELPRO, Chicago's Jon Burge, or the profitability of caging black dudes is deliberately lying to readers. Last week's review included: 1. Alexander told readers that "most people in America" no longer believe in racial discrimination. No footnotes, no citations, no evidence to support such a lie. 2. Alexander flagrantly lies to readers by suggesting that White people were considering ending prisons in the 1970s. She deliberately omits the 1971 Attica prison rebellion as well as the 1978 case of 15-year-old Willie Bosket - where New York Governor Hugh Carey changed laws to allow children to be tried as adults. 3. Alexander mentions the resilience of her White mom, but redacts her racial classification. She brags about being a proud African American woman, but conceals that half her genetic material comes from a Suspected Race Soldier. 4. Alexander briefly discusses the "conspiracy theory" of some people thinking the CIA deliberately sold drugs to black people to decimate the population. She "emphasizes" that there's no evidence to support this conclusion while not mentioning Gary Webb's work in the body of the text. She doesn't even cite his book in the footnotes. #COINTELPRO # #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – [http://paypal.me/TheCOWS](http://paypal.me/TheCOWS) Cash App: [https://cash.app/$TheCOWS](https://cash.app/$TheCOWS) CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
