The C.O.W.S. Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow Part 2 🐮🛎️ #Colorblind #4thWorstBookEver
The C.O.W.S.
About
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the second study session on Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration In the Age of Colorblindness. Alexander is a non-white female with one White parent and one non-white parent. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration, Gus T. anticipates this being one of the **10 Worst Books Ever**. Racists generally do not promote literature that provides an
accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy.
**Deception by Omission**: Any book that claims to seriously explore prisons and Racism, yet fails to include COINTELPRO, Chicago's Jon Burge, or the profitability of caging black dudes is deliberately lying to readers. Last week's review included:
1. The 10th Anniversary Preface: We analyzed Alexander's claim that the book was a "slow success," despite its eventual and consistent promotion by the System.
2. **Black Misandry**: We thanked Alexander for mentioning that she's often asked why she focused on the caging of black males exclusively - echoing the routine hostility and/or resistance to discussing black males as Victims of White Supremacy.
3. The "**We**" Trap: We examined Alexander’s use of the pronoun "we," which lumps Victims of White Supremacy and Racists into one general collective, masking the reality of who is doing the caging.
4. The Skip Gates Incident: We corrected the record on the 2009 arrest of Dr. Henry Louis Gates and the White response that forced President Obama to "recalibrate" his assessment of the arresting White officer.
