The C.O.W.S. THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR Part 4

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 4th study session on Sam Greenlee's 1969 timeless novel, The Spook Who Sat By The Door. The bestseller was modified into a major motion picture in 1973 and remains an acclaimed critique of Racism. Greenlee died in 2014. The main character, Dan Freeman, becomes the first black agent at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Freeman acquires as much knowledge as possible in order to transfer that intelligence to terrorized black people so that they can organize a counter-violence offensive against White Supremacy. Last week's session stressed how members of the Cobras, a black Chicago gang, became motivated scholars. Freeman articulates his rage about the waste of black genius that White Supremacy guarantees. Freeman also demands that the Cobras follow logic and knowledge as opposed to worshiping an individual; his reasoning sounds identical to Mr. Neely Fuller's concept of "united, independent" codification. Tellingly, Greenlee's band of counter-racists camafloug their militant intentions by adhering to commonly held Racist notions - that black people are drug fiends ands morons. We'll remain mindful of how anti-blackness is reflected in the text and we'll identify differences between the book and the film. #RacismIsNotAPrivilege 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
