The C.​O.​W.​S. w/ Andy McPhee: White Supremacist Body Snatchers, Niggling, Medical Apartheid, Sade C. Robinson

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Andy McPhee. A former critical care nurse and educational healthcare publisher, Andy McPhee, who’s classified as a White Man, has also written four nonfiction books for young adults and written or edited more than 750 newspaper and magazine articles. We’ll discuss his 2026 publication, The Doctor’s Riot of 1788: Body Snatching, Bloodletting, and Anatomy in America. McPhee examines a 1788 melee caused by New Yorkers discovering a White Woman’s corpse had been stolen. We use this event to examine the White Supremacist history of looting black burial grounds. Gus T.’s beloved Medical Apartheid, written by the genius Harriet A. Washington, devotes a meaty section to the well-recorded history of Whites’ stealing black bodies for experimental and anatomical purposes. Washington tells us that White medical colleges were often strategically located in regions with high populations of black people. During our discussion, we deconstructed how the historical practice of White people stealing black bodies continues in the 21st century with a highly unregulated international trade in body parts.This provides context for the missing skull of Sade C. Robinson as well as the missing organs of Kendrick Johnson in Georgia. Gus T. made a point to ask Mr. McPhee why he used the term "niggling" to describe a scene of conflict in the text. After initially pretending he quoted someone else, McPhee admitted this was his word choice alone. He offered many unsolicited apologies and said he likes to think of himself as an "anti-racist." He easily conceded that niggling is mighty close to niggras. Fuller does explicitly suggest that we avoid terms like "negative" & "negate" because these terms are phonetically and semantically similar to the Racist insult reserved for black people. #TheCOWS17Years #Philadelphia #BodySnatcher #CounterRacism #Niggling #GlobalWhiteSupremacy #NewYork #ShawnUtsey #ChrisBaker #GrandisonHarris #HarvardMedicalSchool #Strapping #JeffreyDahmer #Oddities Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943# 💻 No phone?
