The C.O.W.S. Global Sunday Talk On Racism 03/19/17

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 participate during our typical broadcast time. Major political elections in France, Germany and the Netherlands have many predicting a continued wave of “far-right,” racist triumphs in the voting booth. The Netherland’s Geert Wilders, who’s anti-immigrant rhetoric was often compared to President Donald J. Trump, was defeated in this week’s election. But France’s Marine Le Pen remains a favorite to become the next country’s next president. Gus is eager to hear commentary from our black British listeners about the kerfuffle raised by Samuel L. Jackson’s remarks. The star of Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained criticized the importation of black Brits to play the part of African Americans. Daniel Kaluuya, the star of Get Out, took offense to the remarks – which may suggest that Racist instigated this entire issue to promote conflict between black people.
