The C. O. W. S. w/ Amy Godine: White Supremacy in the Adirondacks #AdirondackCorrectionalFacility #SambosMistake

from The C.O.W.S.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Amy Godine, Racist Suspect. A White Woman and resident of Saratoga Springs, New York #RaciallyRestrictedRegion, Ms. Godine is an author, educator, and independent researcher and journalist. She’s written a number of fiction and non-fiction works and even “taught literature to undergraduates and literature again to incarcerated college students in upstate New York.” Gus found her 2023 publication, The Black Woods: Pursuing Racial Justice on the Adirondack Frontier, around the same time National Public Radio aired a segment about a summer camp that transports non-white children from the city to the Adirondacks to experience nature, wildlife, and the absence of cellphones. Godine’s work examines Suspected Racist Gerrit Smith, who “gifted” land to black people during the middle 1800’s - prior to the Civil War. The legendary swell White dude John Brown allegedly hung out briefly in “Timbuctoo,” the beloved name for the settlement which may actually be a Racist Joke. Approximately 3,000 black people took Smith up on his offer, substantially less than he hoped, and the meager negro population was mostly erased from memory. Although, a number of White residents affectionately remember this region as: “Nigger Hills, Nigger Brooks, and Nigger Points.” This area is now a renown Racially Restricted Region/Sundown Town with VERY few people classified as black. Amy Godine’s Saratoga Springs boasts of having fewer than 5% of their population classified as black. The lates James Loewen told us this region has penitentiaries for privileged black dudes. Apparently, Ms. Godine talked about her book at the Adirondack Correctional Facility - where the state inmate population was 50% privileged black males. #IllBeJohnBrown #NewYorkState #Timbuctoo #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
