Description
The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 4th study session on Randy Roberts' and Johnny Smith's 2016 release, Blood Brothers: The Fatal Friendship Between Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X. The book debuted months before the passing of Ali. Roberts and Smith, both Racist Suspects, investigate the growth and termination of Ali and Minister Malcolm's relationship and how their bond deteriorated as Minister Malcolm's rupture from Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam became permanent. Regrettably, Ali was unable to reconcile things with Malcolm before his 1965 assassination. Last week's session again stressed the gargantuan surveillance apparatus targeting Minister Malcolm and the Nation of Islam. Paid informants, FBI agents and local police officers kept a detailed log of NOI activities and potential conflicts which could be exploited. The book also described how Ali had been keenly interested in the teachings of Elijah Muhammad and Minister Malcolm well before he owned the heavyweight championship. The authors also devoted a good bit of attention to the champion Ali (Cassius Clay) would eventually dethrone, Sonny Liston. White gangsters ruled his career and financially plundered the illiterate prizefighter. Unfortunately, Clay engaged in a sizable amount of anti-black name calling in the build-up to their brawl. This book should illustrate the monumental importance of not name-calling other black people. As the authors of this book are both White, listeners should pay particular attention to word choice and possible Racist influence on the narrative. #RacismIsNotAPrivilege 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
