Anti-Blackness Panel Discussion @ University of Washington Featuring Dorothy Roberts
The University of Washington's Center for Anti-Racism & Community Health hosts a panel discussion on "anti-blackness" and the impact of Professor Dorothy Roberts scholarship. “Moderated by the American Ethnic Studies Department's Dr. Oliver Rollins, panelists will discuss the impacts of Roberts' scholarship across law, public policy, medical ethics, nursing, and sociology. Additional panelists include the School of Nursing's Dr. Monica McLemore, American Ethnic Studies' Dr. LaShawnDa Pittman, and the Department of Bioethics and Humanities' Dr. LaTonya Trotter.” Interestingly, the description for this event says “broken systems.” However, during the discussion, Roberts and other panelists emphasized that the system is working as intended - brutalizing black people. Also, panelists were asked near the end of the discussion if they had a definition of Racism. No one volunteered to briefly share their definition. Dr. Oliver Rollins said he intends to email his definition. We shall see. Although Gus was present for this event, few black males were in this mostly White audience. Pay close attention for the commentary about the temporal correlation between the age of White scientific enlightenment and the global slave trade. Many of the revered White philosophers wrote eloquently about White Supremacy. The panelists also unanimously voiced that the only reason for racial classifications is to practice White Supremacy. #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
