Do people here listen to the Context of White Supremacy? (C.O.W.S)

[GZR]

Has Tariq ever been on this?

Yes





Those are the two appearances I know of, there may be more

Has Tariq ever been on this?

He was on twice. First in 2011 when he was promoting Hidden Colors 1.. He spoke briefly and got off the phone too quickly. He didn't rate Gus high enough to stick around for hours. Since then he discovered and studied a lot of Gus' shows and to an extent Tariq's Sunday Shows are just a loose funny "uncodified" version of what Gus does.
He came back on the show this year or ladt year and they broke down the racism in the Purge movies. I listen to Tariq all the time but Gus is the most adroit person at discussing racism. Tariq is by far the funniest.
Peace from South Africa.

So sorry for the late reply I'm never on this forum coz the standard of posts took a massive dip since the 2012-2014 days when i was a serial lurker.

The Ric Flair 30 for 30 documentary is an interesting study in white male bravado/sexuality being embraced and celebrated to the point where the Ric Flair "Whooooooo" shout is embedded in the Popular Culture Lexicon.
Especially if you know that the so-called "Attitude Era" that Ric Flair pioneered in the 80s and Vince McMahon monetized in the mid to late 90s was largely based on the life of Mohammed Ali. The Rock, Ric Flair etc all tailored their personnas and "shyt talking" on Ali. The contrast between how hated Ali was and how hated Floyd Mayweather still is, vs the sheer embrace and iconic status of Ric Flair, a deadbeat dad/ alcoholic/Gifted Athlete and stuntman, is a fascinating study and phenomena to observe.
Also Ric bleached his hair blonde throughout his career and in his own words "blondes have more fun"... COWBELL!

If you watch the documentaries i suggested and you have less than 5 years of counter racist study most of them will fly over your head. You have to be well versed in the works of Dr Amos Wilson, Dr John Henrik Clarke, Dr Frances Cres Welsing etc etc to spot the racist nuances that become glaring if you know what to look for. Example the Robert Crumb documentary

If you don't mind me asking what is the significance of this 30 for 30 film?[/QUOT

RIP to Pam who was my personal favourite regular contributor to the show. She died earlier this year.



I don't listen to the show as often as I used to many years ago, it's not the same imo but I still tune in once in a while.

Damn wtf!! I knew she some health issues etc but wtf????

Im a day one listener... Remember when it used to be Pam, Thomas from NY, the irretating woman with the thick West Indian accent, Cree etc

Pam was always the most relatable person on the old COWS. You could tell her lack of patience for "c00ns" and how she would struggle to keep codified and was always extremely honest about her own flaws and white identification etc. fukk breh

I can't quite put a finger on it.....the message is still the same but it's probably the lack of guest appearances. The show had way more back in the day and I found it more engaging in its blogtalkradio days and when it was on youtube. I still have the old shows on my hard drive and as someone who was a regular listener I can feel the difference. Things change I guess.

I can answer this question very simply. Gus T Renegade is now a seasoned veteran and has the wisdom and battle scars of an 80 years old.
Gus has been operating on Autopilot idesay since 2014/15 onwards.
He has quite literally broken down and interviewed every conceivable white racist trope there is. He no longer has that Fresh outta college youthful exuberance he possessed 2009-2012. The irony is that once the production value of the show became impeccable Gus stopped giving a fukk... But when the sound quality was garbage and calls were barely audible and the show used to cut off randomly etc this was the best counter racist programme out there and his archives are still an incredible collection of counter racist study.

Only thing is you're gonna have to stomach the 10 year old "Justice" and her scripted questions.

In closing Gus stopped giving a fukk years ago. He's on autopilot. I only listen to Compensatory Call In news clips now. The newer callers are nauseating.

Peace

Has that girl Justice left the show? She was cute lil kid and I was glad someone that young was learning the real deal about white supremacy. I thought that was his daughter when I first started listening. She must be like 19 by now.

But I don't think The COWS has as big an audience, he should go back on youtube. I like how he used to give cacs that work....way better than Tariq Nasheed does IMO who somewhat lowkey soft shoes because his wife is half white.

And yeah, I miss Pam. It wouldn't be the same without her input.

I just finished it the other day. It was a tough read.

He did make some points on Frederick Douglass that were interesting. Basically, In addition to Douglass being white identified - he presented him in the book like he possibly had feelings for men. That part was too much.

On Nat and other ancestors who went through that - just shows whites were/are demonic.

What did they go through?

 

[Losttribe]

The quality of the broadcast has vastly improved since the beginning. Audio and content wise. I salute Gus because he has become almost an expert when dealing with the different topics that come up and also dealing with suspected white supremacist.
It's hilarious how he busts out laughing during the responses that some white people give to his questions.
I also like how he is against metaphors and he has opened up my eyes to how white people try to trick us by using metaphors. I've never looked at it that way. So I've become better at expressing my thoughts directly.

I totally agree with you about the codification police.

Even neely fuller jr said his compensatory code book is just a GUIDE and SUGGESTIONS. Not to be taken word by word and not think for yourself. Because even he says himself he does not know the solution to defeating white supremacy.

It's important that all black people develop critical thinking skills so that we can all work on better methods to solve this problem we all have.

I do agree that we all should follow a basic guideline when dealing with white people for sure tho. Just always be cautious and ask questions so you know what kind of white person you are dealing with.

How have they used metaphors? Don't we use metaphors ?

Any episodes you'd recommend?

 

[You Win Perfect]

There was an episode with a white woman married to a black man, and she said something like, "I'm going to hangup" speaking to someone in the room with her. She took maybe one more question, and hung up.

And again, Gus starting cracking up.

i just listened to this episode again

I see. I have not seen the documentary so I was curious why it was mentioned.

 

[fairfax12]

I came across this episode while I cleaned up around the house today....If all racists were this honest, black people would NOT be as confused about what the problem is and how to fix it. Sorry to bump such old material but I really thought this whole episode was a gem.
