The C. O. W. S. w/ Dr. Sherwin Assari: Black Misandry, Black Mental Health & Depression #BlackMalePrivilege #ZeroSumGame
The Context of White Supremacy (C.O.W.S.) Radio Program welcomes Dr. Sherwin Assari. An “associate professor of family medicine at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, Los Angeles,” Dr. Assari examines “the intersection of race, ethnicity, gender, and place in changing causes and consequences of health. Dr. Assari has published more than 350 papers on topics such as race, social determinants, and health equity.” Gus learned about his research during this week’s discussion with Dr. Yamonte Cooper - who cites a number of Dr. Assari work in his new book, Black Men and Racial Trauma. Dr. Assari has years of research examining the different ways the System of White Supremacy impacts people classified as black. Much of his research suggests that black males are subjected to more intense forms of abuse and these same black dudes report that having more money or glamorous employment does not offer protection from Racism. In fact, for black males, having higher “socio-economic status” may cause more distress and Racial aggression. Following the earlier program, Dr. Cooper wrote Gus to say that it's unwise to say that black males are treated "worse" than other non-white people and that this phrasing promotes a "zero sum" perspective of viewing abuse. Gus asked Dr. Assari if it's accurate and evidence-based to say that in the System of White Supremacy, black males are treated worse. #BlackMalePrivilege #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
