The Context of White Supremacy Radio Program welcomes Curtis Wilkie. An octogenarian and native of Greenville, Mississippi, Wilkie is a retired journalist, historian and author. An alumnus of the University of Mississippi – affectionately known as Ole Miss, Wilkie was classmates with Air Force veteran and counter-racist legend, James Meredith. As Meredith is a personal hero of Gus, we’ll ask about the Terrorism Meredith experienced while being Ole Miss classmates with Wilkie. We’ll also explore his recent text, When Evil Lived in Laurel: The ‘White Knights’ and the Murder of Vernon Dahmer. Just a few years after Meredith “tarnished” Mississippi’s lily White, flagship university, civil rights workers within the state continued to attack all areas of people activity. Vernon Dahmer, a black male, worked fearlessly to register black voters. White Terrorists threatened he and his family and ultimately killed Dahmer – affectionately referred to as “the Dahmer Nigger.” Wilkie’s books focuses mostly on the actions of White FBI informant Tom Landrum. After being recruited by the FBI to infiltrate and report on the Jones County Klan, Landrum snitches on Klan activities because he allegedly hates “kluckers” and their violent, crude, boorish conduct. Everything about this work promotes the lie that we’ve made lots of “progress” eliminating White Supremacy. Wilkie, like all other White historian and authors, criminally minimizes the FBI’s COINTELPRO activities – which targeted many/all of the black activists working in Mississippi who are mentioned in Wilkie’s book (Fannie Lou Hamer, Bob Moses, Vernon Dahmer, Medgar Evers, Charles Evers, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Dick Gregory). Similar to the deceitful 1988 motion picture Mississippi Burning, Wilkie’s FBI pimp smacks Mississippi rednecks and break rules to punish Racists. This wacky history book features no footnotes within the body of the text. Because of the volume of chunky quotes from a variety of people, readers may think a stenographer was present for every backwoods Mississippi conversations. This is extremely suspicious and unacceptable scholarship. Whites lie a lot.
