Description
Professor Jim Grimsley visits The Context of White Supremacy. Grimsley is a White man and an Admitted Racist. He's a Professor of Practice in the English Department at Emory University in Georgia. He's a prolific and award-winning writer. We'll deconstruct his 2015 publication, How I Shed My Skin: Understanding the Racist Lessons of a Southern Childhood. He describes his childhood in rural North Carolina during the 1960's. His White family and friends swapped nigger jokes, talked bad about black people while attending church, and incessantly emphasized the ignorance and vileness of niggras. Grimsley suspects that his father may have practiced direct acts of violence against black citizens. Ostensibly, his book examines his journey away from the White Supremacist identity that was expected of him. Mr. Grimsley insists that being a gay man helped him reject the White Supremacy culture that reared him. #BlackSelfRespect INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
