The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 5th study session on Jack Olsen’s Last Man Standing: The Tragedy and Triumph of Geronimo Pratt. Olsen is a White male, and a prolific author. Olsen wrote for Sport Illustrated during the 1960’s, and penned a celebrated series examining black athletes and Racism. The magazine also credits Olsen with writing one of the best biographies on boxing icon and attempted counter-racist Muhammad Ali. Last week, the homoeroticism of the text took center stage when Julius Butler took the witness stand to testify that Geronimo Pratt brandished a firearm and threatened to shoot Ollie Taylor – a teenage black male Panther member. Butler added that Pratt “cocked the gun” and achieved full erection simultaneously. It’s unclear if Butler’s COINTELPRO handlers instructed him to add this conspicuous bit of false testimony, or he added this spicy anecdote of his own volition. At this point, Cochran is still arrogantly dismissive of Pratt’s claims that a larger force is conspiring to falsely convict him of murder. The young attorney thought Pratt was a little paranoid, not in touch with reality. #StillLearning
Chicago is not a city of peace. It is the skunk of Hell, and it’s high time Democrats, who have run the city since 1927, start giving a damn about all the killings going on in that city. They can’t continue lying about white supremacy being the biggest threat to black people in America when they do absolutely nothing at all about the scores of black Americans being murdered each weekend when there isn’t a white supremacist to be found for hundreds of miles.
In total, 36 people were shot and four of them died in Chicago on Easter weekend.
