The C. O. W. S. w/ Dr. Jack E. Davis: The Lynching of Jesse James Payne #YouBetterCallMeDoctorDavis

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Jack E. Davis. A Pulitzer Prize-winning author and a professor of history and Rothman Family Chair in the Humanities, specializing in environmental history and sustainability studies at the University of Florida, Mr. Davis has written a number a highly successful non-fiction books on the environment, the Gulf of Mexico and US history. Gus discovered his work while researching Florida's immense history of lynching black males. In 1989, Dr. Davis wrote, Whitewash in Florida The Lynching of Jesse James Payne and Its Aftermath. He details how "95%" of polled Florida Whites were "Kool & The Gang" with the 1945 lynching of Mr. Payne #WorthlessNegroFromFlorida In fact, many Whites in Florida were more angered about the prospect of the Payne lynching drawing unwanted attention to the southern style of practicing White Supremacy/Racism. Gus asked about the homoerotic and homosocial components of lynching, where White men drank beers and formed a brotherhood around mutilating the genitals of black males. We even compared the history of White lynching to their pastimes of coon and fox hunting. We also made time to discuss Dr. Davis's book, Race Against Time: Culture and Separation in Natchez Since 1930 - which examines the history of White culture and White Supremacy/Racism in the Magnolia state. Importantly, Dr. Davis got very uppity when Gus failed to address him as "Dr." during the initial portion of the broadcast. As we closed, he said it was fine to call him Jack. Also, he threw a major tantrum when Gus pointed out that Dr. Davis neglected to answer my question about whether a significant number of Whites are "often sincerely and greatly pained by Racism." He accused Gus of "attacking" him, and acknowledged that he may be guilty of being a "whining White Man." Gus reminded Dr. Davis that he agreed that it is logical to Suspect that anyone classified as White could be Racist (White Supremacist). #WhiningWhiteMan #Jackson #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
