James Walvin visits The Context of White Supremacy. Mr. Walvin is a Professor of History Emeritus at University of York. He's written and edited thirty books, including Black Presence: A Documentary History of the Negro in England and Black and White: The Negro and English Society. We'll review his 2011 publication, The Zong: A Massacre, The Law & The End Of Slavery. Gus learned about this book while reading Edward Baptist's The Half Has Never Been Told. Walvin's text explores an 1781 slave ship financed by a Racist Liverpool consortium. The slave ship, the Zong, allegedly ran perilously low on water before reaching its destination in Jamaica. The Whites on board decided the best remedy would be to toss approximately 150 black people overboard to their death. This included children and females. There was nothing unusual or abnormal about this act. Slaughtering black people on the high seas was a predictable, standard procedure. What established this extermination as infamous was that the White financiers pursued compensation for their murdered negroes. The trial drew widespread attention and galvanized a movement that ended the British slave trade in less than thirty years. This obviously did not end White Supremacy or British "colonization" and "imperialism." We'll connect this incident with 21st century Racism where White Terrorists in Liverpool continue to assault black people, like football star Mario Balotelli. #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
