The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 6th study session on Edward Baptist's 2014 publication, The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery And The Making Of American Capitalism. Baptist, a Suspected Racist, constructed this book to locate the enslavement and mutilation of black bodies as fundamental to the construction and success of America. He provides evidence that the torture and forced labor of black people was not an inefficient industrial system, nor would it have come to a natural conclusion on its own. The book chapters are named after body parts to emphasize how the White slave system represented complete war on black bodies. Last week's session highlighted that what White enslavers did to black people should be classified and articulated as torture. He meticulously details how White Brutes thought of newer and more sinsiter means of violating black people and breaking their will. Baptist also explained how the slave system is egineered to force black people to work against individual and collective self interest; every ounce of black labor and ingenuity is to benefits Whites. Last week's session concluded with the importance of slave songs and dance. It's no surprise that minstrel shows and blackface became wildly popular and formed the foundation for American entertainment. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
