The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 12/28/24. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS Race Soldier's calendar says this is the final weekend of the 2024 year. Broadcasting legend and Victim of White Supremacy Greg Gumbel died this week at the age of 78 - which is kind of privileged for black males. Gumbel was one of the first black male television broadcasters on a major television network. In recent years, he was a fixture of CBS' coverage of the March NCAA basketball tournament - right alongside Luther Vandross's rendition of "One Shining Moment." Sadly, not surprisingly, Greg and his brother Bryant Gumbel have both been maligned for not being "black enough"/"sellouts" - whatever that means. With preconception, Gus was stunned to learn that Gumbel was once sued by the state of Arizona. This kerfuffle revolved around the desert state's deep rooted rejection of a federal holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Gumbel reported that the NFL considered rejecting Arizona as a location to host the Super Bowl game if they refused to refine their Racism and accept the King holiday. Gumbel was eventually dismissed from the suit. #BlackMalePrivilege #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

In recent years, numerous beloved sports news institutions have been shut down, or dramatically reduced their operations, while digital shows hosted by professional sportspeople, current and retired, have become ubiquitous. Meanwhile, traditional sports journalism—particularly of the type that asks uncomfortable questions of what is, ultimately, a huge and powerful business—has been in decline. Last year, Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, an HBO show that mixed softer features with hard-nosed investigative journalism, wrapped its final season after twenty-nine years on air. Josh Fine was an investigative producer at Real Sports for seventeen years. He has some ideas on how sports journalism can revive itself.

493. We talk to Tia LeBrun, a Democratic candidate for the Third Congressional District. Tia LeBrun was born and raised in Terrebonne Parish as a member of the United Houma Nation. Being the daughter of three generations of working-class service-industry workers, Tia imagined herself working in the same industry as a child. However, she became an educator because her teachers instilled in her the desire to inspire the next generation of Louisianans. This week in Louisiana history. October 29, 1948. Birthday of journalist Bryant Gumbel, formerly of the Today show on NBC. This week in New Orleans history. Governor David Conner "Dave" Treen Sr. died at East Jefferson Hospital in Metairie on October 29, 2009.  He was the first Republican Governor of Louisiana since Reconstruction and the first Republican in modern times to have served in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Louisiana. This week in Louisiana. Halloween in New Orleans Second only to Mardi Gras for its dazzling display of fun and finery, Halloween in New Orleans draws thousands to the Quarter for devilish fun while vampires, zombies, ghosts, goblins and everything else parade up and down Frenchmen Street displaying the city's legendary wit and creativity in their carefully crafted costumes. All Hallow's Eve in New Orleans is an experience to remember for both the living – and undead.     Start your Halloween adventure with one of the many haunted tours through the French Quarter or some other spooky part of the city. And then, of course, there are the world-famous cemeteries where the dearly departed are buried in tombs above ground. Hundreds of stories abound in which the ghosts of these “Cities of the Dead” make their presence known.      While prowling around the French Quarter there are a number of Voodoo shops to learn a little more about the history behind these centuries-old spiritual practices. The spirit of Marie Laveau, the High Priestess of 19th century New Orleans, can still be felt in the vibes that surround you in some of these shops. You might even learn a few spells and mystical incantations. Many of the shops have special Halloween events.      Also, Voodoo Music + Arts Experience takes place every October. Head to City Park to enjoy food, drinks, carnival rides and a stellar lineup. The crowd will be in costume and the Halloween spirit will be evident! Postcards from Louisiana. Dr. Quin G.
