The C.​O.​W.​S. w/ Dr. Calvin Schermerhorn: White Plunder of Black Americans #Altadena #MasterLooters 💵💰💵

from The C.O.W.S.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Calvin Schermerhorn. Classified as a White Man and a graduate of Harvard Divinity School and the University of Virginia, Schermerhorn is a historian of slavery, capitalism, and African American inequality. Weeks ago, he penned a piece deconstructing the local System of White Supremacy that’s responsible for hundreds of black homeowners having their housing jeopardized or destroyed by the 2025 California Wildfires. One of the locations with a high population of non-white residents is the “unincorporated” region of Altadena, an area prone to fires yet reserved for non-white people. All of this fits neatly into the massive economic patterns Schermerhorn inspects in his 2025 publication: The Plunder of Black America How the Racial Wealth Gap Was Made. This text examines how generations of Whites have codified the looting of black people. A major component of this Racist codification is keeping black people ignorant and illiterate. Professor Schermerhorn documents how White people across the continent create laws, burn black school houses, and/or loot educational funds designated for black children all with the desired aim of maintaining a mindless, vulnerable population of black people who will be dominated in perpetuity. #MoneyDontMatterTonight #TheCOWS16Years CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
