How Black Men Have Been Made Invisible by Bitter Black Women
To be honest with you, baseless commentary by a segment of Black women about Black men puts me into a state of disbelief because I understand that their emotional accusations spewed toward Black men do not reflect Black men in America. I do my best to sidestep such discussions. I realized long ago that such opinions are anecdotal recitations lacking evidence. During a recent podcast, I was…

The Dire Plight of the American Teacher
I do not know of a single African-American Professor who does not possess the desire to recreate themselves. Simply put, one of the major by-products of Black graduate students working their way through the snares and traps of academia is a severe desire to make the path more accessible and passable for those that follow. By the time we earn our Ph.D. s, no one in the world can impress upon us…

Why Do So Many Black Women Like Keke Palmer Refuse To Grow Up?: Yet Another Sign of Black Cultural Dysfunction
I am sure you’re privy to the recent brouhaha between Keke Palmer and her boyfriend, Darius Jackson. If you are one of the fortunate ones that somehow sidestepped the latest episode of “Black folk sure know how to waste some time,” let me bring you up to speed.
During a trip to Las Vegas, Keke Palmer and her girlfriends attended a performance by R&B superstar Usher. Adorned in a see-through…

Black America We Have A Significant Culture Problem: Essence Festival 2023
I am old enough to remember when Essence covered the diverse nature and multiple issues of Black women living in a white man’s world. Essence went further in their coverage of Black women than merely printing beautiful pictures of them; there was no beauty of the week centerfold within the pages of Essence. I recall the presentation and discussion of substantive issues impacting Black America and…

This Land Is My Land: Reflections On Patriotism and Black America
As a historian whose studies have focused on the African-American experience, Independence Day has always been a date that causes tremendous reflection on my status within this nation. My perspective is heavily influenced by the undeniable contributions of my ancestors to the founding, development, and operation of this nation shared with the populace that James Baldwin termed his white…

Not Totally Clarence's Fault: Why There Is More Blame To Go Around Regarding The Ending of Affirmative Action than Justice Thomas
I am unsure if anyone with an ounce of common sense is surprised that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the use of Race in student admissions. In a 6-3 majority ruling, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the use of Race in school admissions “violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.” Most progressives understood long ago that this ruling was inevitable.
It was a…

What the Murder of Tyre Nichols Says About How Some In Black America View Their "Brothers and Sisters" and Why
Although I have familial ties to Memphis, Tennessee, on my mother’s side, the moment I heard about the brutal beating of Tyre Nichols, I knew that such facts mattered little in analyzing this senseless tragedy. Ironically, my new home, Houston, trumps my connection to Memphis; let me explain. When pondering this tragedy and what it means specifically to Black America, Houston’s Geto Boys offers…

The Choice Is His: Should Deion Sanders Remain at Jackson State University?
The Choice Is His: Should Deion Sanders Remain at Jackson State University?
During my twenty-year tenure as a Professor at an HBCU, I learned that there are principally two types of people serving students in educational institutions whose origins grew from the impossible dreams for education amongst the descendants of formerly enslaved Africans. The two types of people I refer to are as follows.
Those who consider the HBCU a stepping-stone until something “better”…

I am sure that you have seen the disturbing footage of members of the River Valley High School’s football team “auctioning” off their Black teammates. Yuba City Unified School District Superintendent Doreen Osumi remarked that the taped “auction” was both “unacceptable” and “deeply offensive.” To their credit, Superintendent Osumi and others reacted swiftly and barred those involved in the…

Here We Go Again: The Looming Battle for Affirmative Action --- It Does Not Look Good For Black America
Here We Go Again: The Looming Battle for Affirmative Action — It Does Not Look Good For Black America
There may be no more difficult lesson to teach Blacks than the following one. The battle for racial equality will never end. The struggle will never end, but Blacks must also be mindful that opposing forces threaten their “victories” every moment. The concept of an irreversible gain in the American political system does not exist—anyone doubting the above needs to look no further than the…

Kanye???? What The Fuck Was That: Kanye Confirms What We Already Knew
Kanye???? What The Fuck Was That: Kanye Confirms What We Already Knew
Although each of us hates to admit it, something is alluring about an automotive accident or unexpected incident that causes us to strain our necks to capture a glimpse of what is occurring. Unfortunately for those of us who love Black people, one of our own has managed to turn himself into a twenty-car crash or, better yet, a living conundrum that offers not an inkling of there ever being a…

What Have They Ever Done For You?: A Black Man's View of Blacks Mourning of Queen Elizabeth II
What Have They Ever Done For You?: A Black Man’s View of Blacks Mourning of Queen Elizabeth II
I guess that the saying ignorance is bliss remains the unofficial motto of many within Black America. This space is too small of an area to offer a severe recitation of what is best termed Black foolishness. Far too often, ignorance of historical matters has ushered my people centerstage for those guided by logic to wonder what they are doing. The fawning of Black folk over Queen Elizabeth II…
