The C. O. W. S. w/ Dr. Jared Ross Hardesty: Chocolate, White Supremacy, & Child Rape #JeffreyDahmer #DelectableNegro

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Jared Ross Hardesty. An Associate Professor of History at Western Washington University, Dr. Hardesty is a scholar of colonial America, the Atlantic world, and the histories of labor and slavery. He's written three books about Racism/White Supremacy in the US, and we'll discuss his 2021 offering, Mutiny on the Rising Sun: A Tragic Tale of Smuggling, Slavery, and Chocolate. Gus heard about this book from WGBH Boston Public Radio. They reported on Old North Church and how the three centuries old house of worship was complicit in slavery. Specifically, White church members sat in the pews of Old North Church to network with other slave smugglers/owners. Dr. Hardesty's book examines an 18th century mutiny in the Caribbean, where White pirate slave smugglers were killed by some of their non-white crew members. 15 slaves - mostly black children - had to witness the carnage. Listeners are encouraged to remember Neely Fuller Jr. and Dr. Frances Cress Welsing's commentary about the symbolism and significance of chocolate in the System of White Supremacy. In fact, Dr. Hardesty confessed to being unaware that American icon Jeffrey Dahmer was employed in a chocolate factory. Pay special attention to exchange about the racial classification of Dr. Hardesty's researchers ("hispanic" is not a racial classification #Confusion) as well as the dialog about the rape of "enslaved" black children like Sally Hemings. The work of Harvard historian Annette Gordon-Reed was mentioned again. #MoChocolate INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
