The C.O.W.S. w/ Dr. Tyler B. Davis: The History of Lynching & White Supremacy in Waco, Texas #BlackMisandry
Update: 2025-09-16
Description
The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Tyler B. Davis. Classified as a White Man, Dr. Davis is an Adjunct Professor of Theology at St Mary’s University. His research explores the history, theology and practice of sanctuary in South Texas. During our recent examination of John A. Haymond’s new book on the 1917 “racial mutiny” in Houston, we learned that the 1916 Texas lynching of Jesse Washington in Waco was noted as a contributing factor. This led Gus to Dr. Davis’ 2025 text, God of the Whirlwind: Horror, Memory & Story in Black Waco. This work is an oral history anthology of several people classified as black who lived in Waco. Dr. Davis, a Racist Suspect, questions them about their memories and experiences with the local System of White Supremacy and their understanding and views on the Washington lynching. Gus was struck by the overbearing influence of the Religion of White Supremacy on these victims. Many of them spent decades of their life in church and/or became reverends. Much of their understanding of the System of White Supremacy and what it means to be classified as White is contaminated by Racist religious doctrines designed to make slaves/non-white people obey, worship, and forgive people classified as White. This broadcast also features Rev. George E. Oliver, a privileged black male who lived in the Waco area and considers Dr. Davis one of his "friends." #LynchingInWaco INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#
