They Stole My Wigwam: Episode 45 (Bacon's Rebellion & the Invention of Race) Beyond Reproach
-
- Society & Culture
In this very special episode in honor of Black History Month we are drinking the precursor to the cocktail, a Early Colonial Rum Punch. This proto-cocktail is an adaptation of a 1668 recipe using ingredients found in colonial America, the era of STEPHANIE's scandal. Do check out the minisode where TUX does a deep dive into the history of punch.

STEPHANIE’s scandal is Bacon's Rebellion and how in its aftermath the construct of race was reverse engineered to maintain ruling class power. We raise our glasses to a quote from the late great Queen Toni Morrison: “The real enemy is, and to know the function, the very serious function of racism, which is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining over and over again, your reason for being.”
ALSO MENTIONED: The golden age of The Simpsons (seasons 4-6), incantations, ambergris, Ovaltine™, giving the girls fantasy, Bernie Sanders, eating meemah, Roanoke, Scrooge McDuck, labor crisis, “oh my stars and garters”, Michael Bloomberg, the 2%, wigwam theft, misunderstanding the assignment, Shared History podcast, toxic masculinity, theatrics, Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess, Left Eye style burning, dysentery, NYPD, Toni Morrison and the turning of the hand.
