The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 6th and final study session on Gwen Ifill's 2009 bestseller, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. A pioneering journalist and anchor at PBS, Ifill, 61, died from cancer in November of 2016. Ifill was one of the lone black female mainstream journalists, and she consistently highlighted Racism during her journalism career. In fact, White Supremacy likely contributed to her passing at such a young age. During last week's session, Ifill analyzed Obama's 2008 tightrope navigation of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's fiery sermon. Tellingly, the president used the jargon of racial "progress" to rebuke Rev. Wright as someone who failed to concede how much things have "improved" for Victims of Racism. Peddling the "racial progress" of the country has been a staple talking point during Obama's tenure in the White House. Ifill also detailed former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick. She discussed an incident where Patrick was racially attacked by a group of Whites. Ifill failed to include Patrick's commentary on the incident: "The worst that happened was that someone, a couple people, threw their cigarette butts at me. Nobody actually hit me, but you still feel wounded. And if you're not real careful, you can feel ashamed too... . You feel ashamed of who you are -- and what you are -- which is a disaster." Listeners should contrast Ifill's presentation of Racism with the pending Trump Administration. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#
