The United States is in the midst of a propaganda and disinformation war, fueled by plutocrats and tech moguls like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who have harnessed technology for profit. Meanwhile, the American empire remains unchecked, its worst nationalist and jingoistic impulses amplified by political opportunism at the highest levels. The times demand serious, accessible intellectual work, but instead, our search for grounded perspectives is surrendered to the lazy pull of social media, leaving us unable to distinguish between deeply researched work, like James Loewen's Lies My Teacher Told Me, and polemics like Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me. As a result, debates over issues from the origins of Hip Hop to the legacy of Jimmy Carter reflect how vulnerable our society is to cultural mythmaking disguised as truth.This obsession with simplistic narratives plays out globally, with education becoming a battleground in places like the US and Syria. Curriculum debates reveal a struggle over shaping minds and controlling knowledge—whether education serves enlightenment or power. The entire system feels as futile as ice skating uphill, an exhausting and impossible task. What does education really achieve in this context? Does it enlighten us, or complicate our understanding of a world growing more disconnected? Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of a World House seems increasingly distant, replaced by virtual realities manipulated by forces spreading influence at any cost.Meanwhile, the existential threat of global warming is no longer abstract. Weather events, like the fires ravaging Los Angeles, serve as harsh reminders of the consequences of environmental neglect. As smoke clouds our skies, we are left to ask: How do we fight the overwhelming tide of manipulation, racism, monopoly capitalism, nationalism, and climate destruction? How do we cultivate a genuine care for our shared humanity? Without this, education, climate action, and even our most cherished ideals unravel.The real test is whether we can rise above the noise—the propaganda, ego, and division—and see each other as part of a shared human struggle. Only then can we confront the true challenges of our time—education, climate change, unchecked power—and maybe, just maybe, create a future where we are more than the sum of our divisions.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Amy Godine, Racist Suspect. A White Woman and resident of Saratoga Springs, New York #RaciallyRestrictedRegion, Ms. Godine is an author, educator, and independent researcher and journalist. She's written a number of fiction and non-fiction works and even “taught literature to undergraduates and literature again to incarcerated college students in upstate New York.” Gus found her 2023 publication, The Black Woods: Pursuing Racial Justice on the Adirondack Frontier, around the same time National Public Radio aired a segment about a summer camp that transports non-white children from the city to the Adirondacks to experience nature, wildlife, and the absence of cellphones. Godine's work examines Suspected Racist Gerrit Smith, who “gifted” land to black people during the middle 1800's - prior to the Civil War. The legendary swell White dude John Brown allegedly hung out briefly in “Timbuctoo,” the beloved name for the settlement which may actually be a Racist Joke. Approximately 3,000 black people took Smith up on his offer, substantially less than he hoped, and the meager negro population was mostly erased from memory. Although, a number of White residents affectionately remember this region as: “Nigger Hills, Nigger Brooks, and Nigger Points.” This area is now a renown Racially Restricted Region/Sundown Town with VERY few people classified as black. Amy Godine's Saratoga Springs boasts of having fewer than 5% of their population classified as black. The lates James Loewen told us this region has penitentiaries for privileged black dudes. Apparently, Ms. Godine talked about her book at the Adirondack Correctional Facility - where the state inmate population was 50% privileged black males. #IllBeJohnBrown #NewYorkState #Timbuctoo #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The most defining difference between people in the US is not cultural, racial, ethnic, or gender based, but ideological. Second in the summer reading series is the title, "Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me" by Winfred Reilly. The obvious relation to the older text "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James Loewen is obvious. Where Reilly is upfront of his bias, Loewen obscures it (along with Howard Zinn). Reilly's work would help the diversity, equity, and inclusion that is championed in most classrooms today.

For decades, there were cities and towns that were all-white on purpose. These communities are known as "sundown towns." Because this practice was both formal and informal, researchers put together a database of these laws, customs and firsthand accounts, under the leadership of the late sociologist and civil rights champion James Loewen. At the peak of the exclusionary practice in 1970, an estimated 10,000 communities across the U.S. kept out African-Americans through "force, law, or custom." Many sundown suburbs also excluded Jewish and Chinese Americans, and other minority groups. There are 40 towns listed as possible or probable past sundown towns in Connecticut. This hour, we hear about this history and what it can tell us. You can add to this research too.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Warren Read. A White male, writer and educator, Mr. Warren is a Washington state native. Once again, James Loewen's Sundown Towns (Racially Restricted Regions) is instructive because many areas of Washington state and Minnesota where hostile to and/or prohibited the presence of black people. Read wrote about his White Grandfather, Louis Dondino, who participated in lynching thee black males in Duluth, Minnesota in 1920. Dondino served a brief stint in prison for his conviction of rioting (not murder) in this case. Read's book, The Lyncher in Me, is his account of this grizzly act of White Terrorism and a biography of his White (Racist?) family's criminal history - which includes child rape. Gus found this ironic considering the reason Dondino and other Whites lynched three black dudes is because the privileged trio was accused of raping a White girl - which turned out to be a lie. Read describes growing up in a mostly White Washington state enclave. However, he was "terrorized" in middle school by a loudmouth, thick-armed, kinky-haired black female. Read starts his memoir suggesting that he, a "gay" White dude, is also libel to be lynched or assassinated like Matthew Shephard. Contrary to popular opinion, Shephard is not a hate crime victim. Rather, this White dude was killed in a drug deal gone bad. Mr. Read is aware of this, but works to deceive readers into thinking that all kinds of White people are lynched and crucified like the biblical White Jesus. #WhitePeopleCantBeIgnorantAboutRacism #TheDelectableNegro #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

We went on the road to a studio just outside of Lansing, Michigan for this interview. Darren Gibson was joined for the first half of the show by special co-host Jeff Smith from the Grand Rapids Institute for Information Democracy (GRIID.org). Jeff is also the author of "A People's History of Grand Rapids, Michigan." They interviewed Mason City Councilor Rita Vogel about her efforts to have the city pass a day of proclamation for Malcolm X, who lived in Mason for a year and a half. The city council denied the request without comment. Since then, Rita had an ethics complaint filed against her (which was dismissed) and the city is now attempting to stifle free speech from city employees and elected officials. In the second half of the show, Darren was joined by Jack Prince as they interviewed former Mason Public Schools teacher Katelyne Thomas. Katelyne left the district after they denied her request to use materials from a Black Lives Matter approved curriculum to teach Black history. We asked her about efforts to limit teaching Black history across the country, book bans, and the city's racist history that was detailed in James Loewen's book "Sundown Towns."Between interviews, we were joined by slam poet Native Child Brown, who read a poem about Malcolm X.We had booked two different venues for this event and both of them cancelled at the last minute with bogus excuses. We want to thank Peter Clay Productions for the use of his studios and for recording the show for us.

Did you read Little House on the Prairie when you were a child? I didn't, but I know it's a common American rite of passage. My guest in this new episode, Dr. Dolly Chugh, got entirely immersed in the story with her two young daughters - so much so that they took a vacation to the places depicted in the story, and her daughters danced around in prairie dresses. Dr. Chugh didn't realized until afterward that there was something missing from both Little House on the Prairie and from her family's exploration of the Midwest: settlers didn't arrive to find unoccupied land ready for farming; the government actively removed Native Americans from the land so it could be occupied by 'settlers.' Dr. Chugh studies issues related to race as a professor, and yet she completely missed this aspect of our country's history. In her new book, A More Just Future, Dr. Chugh asks why so-called Good People act in ways that are counter to their beliefs because we don't have all the information we need, or we prioritize some information over others. In our conversation we discussed this research, and what we can all do to take actions that are aligned with our values - even when we're new to working on social justice issues.

(12:02) People who are trying to avoid a loss are more likely to make less ethical choices than people trying to make a game. (14:35) Kahneman and Tversky's work that says how you frame something can have meaningful consequences, even if the thing you're framing is exactly the same. (15:06) So that's all the research of Framing says, and the gain versus loss piece of it says that you can have identical situations. But what the research, Molly Curran and I have shown us that if you frame it as a loss, people are more likely to cheat. (28:51) James Loewen has done some, some deep analyses of textbooks where he's, you know, God bless him spent two years he took like the 20 most popular history textbooks used in American high schools.

The Context of White Supremacy Radio Program welcomes  Nicholas Gunn. A writer for the Benton Spirit Newspaper and founder of Nick Eats, Mr. Gunn is a Michigan epicurean who enjoys supporting local businesses. He also holds the current title for Mr. Benton Harbor, crowned at the Blossom Time Community Pageant. 18-year-old Gunn came to Gus's attention after he was mauled by a pair of White Men at the recent Krasl Art Fair in St. Joseph, Michigan. The Suspected Race Soldiers physically attacked Gunn and called him ni@@#$ in defense of their copyrighted work. Gus was fascinated with this report because Gunn's attempted family warned him about St. Joseph, Michigan. Although only a six minute drive from Benton Harbor, a predominantly black town, St. Joseph is a Racially Restricted Region (sundown town). According the 2020 US census, more than 85% of the residents are classified as White. The late James Loewen's research site reports that Racists in St. Joseph allegedly raised the drawbridges to reduce black people's access to town. We'll see if young Mr. Gunn is knowledgeable about this history or the more recent death of Eric McGinnis. #Michigan #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

"Reckoning With History: Sharing the Truth About Sundown Towns" Stephen Berrey We will learn about the history of sundown towns—towns and suburbs that have intentionally excluded some racial groups in the past and, for some, in the present. We will also learn how we can research potential sundown towns to contribute to an online public history and social justice project begun by James Loewen (https://justice.tougaloo.edu/sundown-towns/).

There's a famous quote in George Orwell's 1984: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” Orwell understood how important knowledge of history is and how it can be manipulated by the powerful to serve their interests. If the past disappears down the memory hole society is at risk. History is not some neutral ideologically-free zone. It is a highly contested battlefield. The contents of textbooks are subject to partisan bias, often tilting to the right. Inadequate history textbooks help produce adults who can't distinguish evidence from opinion, fact from fiction. Progressive voices such as Frederick Douglass, Emma Goldman, and Dorothy Day are often omitted from textbooks or just appear without context. James Loewen said, “Telling the truth about the past helps cause justice in the present. Achieving justice in the present helps us tell the truth about the past.”

The famed historian James Loewen died on August 19, 2021 at the age of 79. Loewen was the bestselling and award-winning author of Lies My Teacher Told Me, Lies Across America, Lies My Teacher Told Me About Christopher Columbus, and Sundown Towns.

Professors Steve Blankenship and Shannon Bontrager discuss the influences of James Loewen's Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong on history and how they use these "lies" in their history classrooms.

We're FIFTY! Mary & Wyatt curl up on the sofa and discuss the power of memory—culturally, historically, and personally—and the danger of forgetting. They discuss James Loewen's incredible book Sundown Towns, which chronicles the history of all-white towns and suburbs in the U.S.—many of which deny the fact that they excluded or forced out their Black populations. In this time of unprecedented polarization, gaslighting, and “post-truth” politics, how can we be honest in our remembering? Also on the agenda: a weirdly long Jojo Siwa discussion, Mary and Wyatt talk about their favorite words, and poems by Eve L. Ewing and John Murillo.

Guest: James W. Loewen, renowned sociologist who has been working on removing Confederate statues for more than 20 years.  He is the author of the best seller Lies My Teacher Told Me.  His latest book is a memoir Up the Creek, with a Paddle: Tales of Canoeing and Life.   The post Renowned Sociologist James Loewen on Statues and History appeared first on KPFA.

Essential parts of our history have been willfully suppressed & ignored, but we can only be the best nation we can be by facing the facts - alternative facts won't do. That has been the work of sociologist, historian, writer and teacher James Loewen.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our 17th and final study session on James Loewen's 2005 publication, Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism. Loewen, a Suspected Race Soldier, has written a number of bestsellers and critically acclaimed texts that use the word "Racism." In addition to Sundown Towns, Loewen's Lies My Teachers Told Me, also explores how Whites intentionally conceal their history of terrorizing black people. Mr. Loewen might be aware that we're reading his book with suspicion. Last week's installment provided nearly a dozen more incidents of White children terrorizing black people. Loewen made a point of saying that individual White families have the power to end sundown towns. They have the ability to solve the problem, but lack the will. He invoked the term "token desegregation" to describe insincere efforts to permanently eradicate White Supremacy. #AllWhiteSpacesAreNoAccident INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our 16th study session on James Loewen's 2005 publication, Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism. Loewen, a Suspected Race Soldier, has penned many bestsellers and critically acclaimed texts that use the word "Racism." In addition to Sundown Towns, Loewen's Lies My Teachers Told Me, also explores how Whites intentionally conceal their history of terrorizing black people. Mr. Loewen might be aware that we're reading his book with suspicion. Last week's installment described how non-white, non-black people are not subjected to the same types of terrorism inflicted on black people. "Asian Americans and Latinos have been treated as ‘non-black' in contradistinction to being treated as ‘non-white,'" writes Loewen. Close to Gus's current Seattle, Washington, Loewen describes how the town of Tillamook, Oregon also excludes black people. This was news to Gus, who's consumed a large quantity of Tillamook branded dairy products overs the years. #AllWhiteSpacesAreNoAccident INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our 15th study session on James Loewen's 2005 publication, Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism. Loewen, a Suspected Race Soldier, has authored many bestsellers and critically acclaimed history books that use the word "Racism." In addition to Sundown Towns, Loewen's Lies My Teachers Told Me, also explores how Whites intentionally stash their history of terrorizing black people. Mr. Loewen might be aware that we're reading his book with suspicion. Last week's installment described how Whites deliberately place trash disposal facilities, landfills, sewage treatment plants and other "disamenities" in area with black people. This further stigmatizes black people as unworthy and residential areas with them as less desirable places to live. Loewen used a number of metaphors containing water to describe black people moving into a neighborhood. He repeatedly equated an increase in black residents with a flood or a break in the dam. Floods and levee failures are dangerous and can kill people. Black residents are not known for killing or endangering people after moving into White neighborhoods. #RacismIsSlavery INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our 14th study session on James Loewen's 2005 publication, Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism. Loewen, a Suspected Race Soldier, has authored many bestsellers and critically acclaimed history books that use the word "Racism." In addition to Sundown Towns, Loewen's Lies My Teachers Told Me, also explores how Whites intentionally stash their history of terrorizing black people. Mr. Loewen might be aware that we're reading his book with suspicion. Last week's portion of text continued one of the major themes of the text: White children terrorizing non-white males, females and children. Loewen continued to pile chapter after chapter of incidents of White kids across the country and across generations hurling rocks, slurs and generally finding ways to be violent. Unfortunately, the constructive value of the text was greatly offset by Loewen's continued use of incorrect terms: "prejudice," "white privilege," and "cognitive dissonance." Loewen also claimed that so-called working class Whites are also harassed by police when visiting elite White areas. #AllWhiteSpacesAreNoAccident INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our 12th study session on James Loewen's acclaimed text, Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism. Loewen, a Suspected Race Soldier, has authored many bestsellers and critically acclaimed history books that use the term "Racism." In addition to Sundown Towns, Loewen's Lies My Teachers Told Me, also examines the ways Whites deliberately conceal their history of brutalizing black people. Mr. Loewen might be aware that we're reading his book with suspicion. Last week's section of text examined black domestics who lived in the same residence with their White employers. These confined souls lived similarly to prisoners in that they could not travel too far from their warden (boss). Loewen also detailed how White towns gloated about having reputations for brutalizing black people. Importantly, the book repeatedly stresses how White children played a consistent role warning and/or ejecting black people from town. #RacismIsSlavery INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

Loewen, a Suspected Race Soldier, has authored many bestsellers and critically acclaimed history books that use the word "Racism." In addition to Sundown Towns, Loewen's Lies My Teachers Told Me, also examines the ways Whites intentionally conceal their history of brutalizing black people. Mr. Loewen might be aware that we're reading his book with suspicion. Last week's installment provided a number of profound illustrations that corroborate Neely Fuller Jr.'s conclusion that, "White people can't be ignorant about Racism." Loewen cites several Whites who got in serious trouble with other White people for violating the White Supremacist code. One White man was allegedly lynched for helping a black person. #RacismIsSlavery INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our 10th study session on James Loewen's acclaimed text, Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism. Loewen, a Suspected Racist, has written a litany bestsellers and critically acclaimed history books that use the word "Racism." In addition to Sundown Towns, Loewen's Lies My Teachers Told Me, also examines the ways Whites deliberately conceal their history of barbarism. Mr. Loewen might be aware that we're reading his book with suspicion. Last week's installment mentioned the state of Oklahoma frequently. Victim of Racism Neely Fuller Jr. was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and Loewen describes White terrorism in Fuller's home town specifically. Gus read some of the text to Fuller, and he confirmed having seen signs that warned niggers to be gone by sundown. He also said it was common practice for black train passengers and porters to be attacked when passing thru all White towns - something Loewen described in detail. #RacismIsSlavery INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

In addition to Sundown Towns, Loewen's Lies My Teachers Told Me, also examines the ways Whites deliberately conceal their history of savagery. Mr. Loewen might be aware that we're reading his book with suspicion. Last week's segment offered an array evidence that Whites purposely lie and conceal evidence of their terrorism against black people. Loewen described how historical societies and local newspapers often value the "good name" of the town as opposed to speaking honestly about an area's history of White Supremacy. Although Loewen refuses to indict Whites for lying, he does specify that the widespread nature of sundown towns demands collective White endorsement. #RacismIsSlavery INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The book details how Whites "invent" "myths," and contract "amnesia" as it relates to the purging of black people. #RacismIsSlavery INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our 7th study session on James Loewen's classic, Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism. Loewen, a Suspected Racist, has written numerous bestselling and critically acclaimed history books that use the word "Racism." In addition to Sundown Towns, Loewen's Lies My Teachers Told Me, also examines the ways Whites deliberately conceal their history of savagery. Mr. Loewen might be aware that we're reading his book with suspicion. Last week's installment examined the myriad excuses Whites offer to explain the absence of black people in a given location. Loewen likely practiced White Supremacy by failing to describe this accurately: Whites habitually lie about purging black people. Loewen reminded readers that Whites brag about having White communities devoid of niggers. They would temporarily allow black people to reside in close proximity to them when assist in the completion of White Power projects. However, Whites would promptly eject even the most hardworking, helpful black people when the objective was complete. #RacismIsSlavery INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts our sixth study session on James Loewen's classic, Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism. Loewen, a Suspected Racist, has written numerous bestselling and critically acclaimed history books that use the word "Racism." In addition to Sundown Towns, Loewen's Lies My Teachers Told Me, also examines the ways Whites deliberately obscure their record of terrorism. Mr. Loewen might be aware that we're reading his book with suspicion. Last week's installment emphasized the methodical racist planning that went into the development of planned communities. One of the more important point in the book: "Of 350,000 new homes built in northern California between 1946 and 1960 with FHA [Federal Housing Administration] support, fewer than 100 went to blacks. That same pattern holds for the whole state, and for the nation as well.” Loewen again evidenced Whites's deliberate dedication to terrorizing black people: "Shanna Smith, head of the National Fair Housing Alliance, summed up the problem: 'The government is not serious about fair housing enforcement. If they were, they would fund it.'" #RacismIsSlavery INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#
