Show Notes

The Context of White Supremacy Welcomes Dr. Nicholas Caverly. Classified as a White Man, Caverly is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He’s an “anthropologist of technology interested in the intersections of racism, space, and justice,” and his research uses “ethnographic and archival methods to investigate political ecologies of racial capital—especially white power and anti-blackness.” We’ll review his December 2025 publication, Demolishing Detroit: How Structural Racism Endures. The text examines the many manifestations of the System of White Supremacy in Detroit. Gus was especially interested in the number of years this White Man spent peeping on black people. This included asking intimate details about their lives, finances, and even criminal convictions. Dr. Caverly takes excavation training and asbestos removal classes alongside unemployed and incarcerated black Detroiters who are desperate for employment or forced to remove toxic waste as a condition of their release from prison. At times, Caverly is the only White person in these classes. A black convict named "Rayshawn" allegedly stops Dr. Caverly from getting suited and booted to go play in the asbestos too, telling the White Man he must protect his "Soft Suburb Lungs." Demolishing Detroit actually criticizes White people for "cosplaying" incidents of White Terrorism like the killing of George Floyd. Gus T. thinks Caverly getting costumed to excavate and scrap asbestos with black males continues the White Supremacist tradition of slumming and peeping on black people. Importantly, Dr. Caverly revealed that many, not all, of the black people he spoke with were more willing to speak honestly with him than the White people he met - who often said he looked just like their White relatives. #SuberbLungs #WhiteDedicationToRacism INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
