The C. O. W. S. w/ Racist Suspect Dr. Linda Martin Alcoff: Racial Classification Confusion

from The C.O.W.S.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Racist Suspect Dr. Linda Martin Alcoff. She has one White parent and one non-white parent. A professor of philosophy at Hunter College and the Graduate Center, CUNY, Dr. Alcoff is a past president of the American Philosophical Association. Her areas of work include epistemology, Latin American philosophy, feminism, critical race theory and continental philosophy. Gus learned about her work from our recent study of Whiteout: How Racial Capitalism Changed the Color of Opioids in America. Interestingly, there are 1 non-white and 2 White authors for this book, and the non-white lead author also has one White parent and one non-white parent. We spoke with White co-author Dr. David Herzberg, who talked about being bullied as a child and his so called Jewish parents’ challenge to being accepted as White. There are several points in Whiteout where Dr. Herzberg and his co-authors suggest that poor White people are mistreated similarly to black people. Additionally, the authors reference Dr. Alcoff’s work when talking about listless White opioid addicts and their frustrations about the reduced percentage of Whites in the world. Gus thought The Future of Whiteness, Dr. Alcoff’s 2015 publication, would have amazing insight on the demographic worries Dr. Frances Cress Welsing theorized about. Wrong. Dr. Alcoff’s work reads like the typical Racist who deliberately obfuscates and lies about the practice of Racism. Just like Dr. Herzberg’s crew, Dr. Alcoff suggests the mistreatment of some White people is "analogous" to the abuse of niggras. The book makes questionable claims with paltry supporting evidence, and posits that there are “armies of progressive Whites in the antiracist struggle.” Easily one of the worst books Gus has ever read. Zero constructive value, and may be deliberate misinformation promoted by a White Supremacist/Racist. Dr. Alcoff told us she has "White presentation." Gus has heard an array of categories similar to this ("honorary white," "white adjacent," "probationary white"). Racist Suspect is a more accurate description of someone you think might be widely accepted as 1 1111 other people classified as White and able to practice White Supremacy. #AffirmativeAction #TheBellCurve #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
