The C.O.W.S. Global Sunday Talk On Racism 07/16/17

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our monthly Global Sunday Talk On Racism. This broadcast is specifically designed to encourage participation from Victims of Racism outside the United States and/or non-white people who are not able to dial us during our typical program time. Last month, our black British listeners shared timely observations about the Grenfell Tower Fire, where more than 75 people died. In the subsequent weeks, Grenfell residents reported being stranded since the blaze. Additionally, a myriad of other British high-rises were found to be vulnerable to fire, causing thousands of residents to be forced from their houses while safety repairs are being conducted. Also in the United Kingdom, MP Diane Abbott attracted massive attention by reporting that she’s routinely subjected to racist abuse – including being daily branded a nigger. Fellow politician, Anne Marie Morris was suspended for her use of the phrase “nigger in the woodpile.”
