Dr. Melissa N. Stein visits The Context of White Supremacy. An assistant professor in the Gender and Womenâ??s Studies Department at the University of Kentucky, Dr. Stein's research interests include African American history and women's/gender history. On his last trip to The C.O.W.S., Dr. Tommy Curry highly recommended Dr. Stein's first book, Measuring Manhood: Race and the Science of Masculinity, 1830-1934. The text highlights how humanity and citizenship were defined in terms of White manhood. Consequently, black males and females were judged as defective men and women and deserving of enslavement and White domination. Dr. Stein documents how White scientists compiled an array of statistics and tabulations that demonstrated the inferiority of black people - heads were too tiny, genitalia too big. Dr. Stein also examines how sexuality was defined within a context of White Supremacy. White sexual deviance was racial suicide that threatened reproduction. Black sexual deviance was further proof of negro inferiority - which might rub off on whitefolks. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
