The C.O.W.S. Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man Part 10

The C.O.W.S.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the tenth study session on Ralph Ellison's 1952 superlative novel, Invisible Man. Gus T's all-time favorite book, Ellison's exemplary text was picked for the 1953 National Book Award and has been inspected and esteemed internationally for more than a half century. The book follows an unnamed black male as he grinds through the terrorism and deceit of White Supremacy (Racism). Last week's installment introduced Brother Tarp, a black member of the Brotherhood. He and the main character discuss the organization, and Brother Tarp gifts the protagonist an iron shackle - similar the cuff Dr. Bledsoe owned. Brother Tarp shares that he was incarcerated for two decades for telling a (White) man "no." Not long after hearing Brother Tarp, the protagonist is accused of trying to subvert the Brotherhood. Brother Wrestrum, also a black member, reported to the White members that the main character had sinister motives for self-aggrandizement, not universal brotherhood. The Whites decide to banish the protagonist from his Harlem office and change his assignment to "the woman question." He decides to accept this task gleefully, his loyalty to the Brotherhood unshaken. #AntiBlackness INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#
