The C. O. W. S. w/ Racist Suspect Jamie Salazar: Mutiny of Rage, Counter-Violence at Camp Logan #GTT
from The C.O.W.S.
The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Jamie Salazar. Described as a “Mexican American and Indiana native,” we’ll first have to get clarification about whether or not Mr. Salazar is classified as a White Man. It says he was born to “underpaid Mexican immigrants” on the Amazon page for his 2005 memoir, Legion of the Lost: The True Experience of An American in the French Foreign Legion. He explicitly told Gus that at times he is accepted as a White Man. And he knows this because Racists assume he is also Racist White Man when they launch into Racist Jokes. Nearly twenty years after that book, Salazar returns to writing about soldiers with his 2021 publication, Mutiny of Rage: The 1917 Camp Logan Riots and Buffalo Soldiers in Houston. Numerous outlets recently reported that after more than a century, 110 black soldiers, all deceased, will be given clemency for their convictions in the Camp Logan racial unrest. Salazar details what led to the armed conflagration that resulted in more White casualties than black. A key factor was black soldiers being charged as “uppity”/“militant” for rejecting their place in the System of White Supremacy. Gus learned quite a bit about the “Lone Star State,” and noted a couple of major errors in Salazar’s work. One instance being that Salazar writes that Suspected White Supremacist Carolyn Bryant Donham, who falsely accused Emmett Till of verbally accosting her and allegedly participated in having the black teen lynched in August 1955, died in 2008 and recanted her part in the murder. Egregious errors (deliberate lies?). Donham lived until 2023, and she never recanted her testimony about the "wolf-whistling" Chicago boy. Salazar also claims that White people de-funded police departments in the US after the 2020 police killing of George Floyd. This is also extra false. #StriveForAccuracy #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
