The C. O. W. S. w/ Andrea Freeman, SKIMMED: How Racists Keep Black Moms from Breastfeeding

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Andrea Freeman. An Associate Professor at the University of Hawaii'i at Manoa William S. Richardson School of Law, Freeman is a White Woman who examines White Supremacy food policy, health and consumer credit. We'll investigate her 2020 publication, Skimmed: Breastfeeding, Race and Injustice. 3-time C.O.W.S. guest Dorothy Roberts, author of Killing the Black Body, provides a hearty endorsement on the rear book jacket. Freeman reveals the deliberate campaign to discourage black mothers from breastfeeding their children. Numerous White scientists around the globe and for decades have unanimously agreed that breastfeeding is the optimal nutritional source for young babies. Skimmed details the sad history of the Fultz quadruplets, a set of identical black baby girls born in the 1940's in North Carolina. The Pet Milk conglomerate along with White doctors ran experiments on these children and ultimately stole all four girls from their black parents to make them the focal point of an advertising campaign to promote synthetic formula to black mothers. This racist scheme continues to affect the disparity between the number of White mothers who breastfeed as oppose to black mothers who are "steered" towards something lesser. #BlackBabiesCostLess INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
