I apologize for my absence in what seems like almost a year. Teaching high school english and history, freelance photography, and getting a non-profit up and running is 90-100 hour a week commitment . I am much better with saying “no” and have carved out more time for writing.
I’ve had a lot […]

I have been convinced that many large public schools function like factory systems. You pop in one student and with the appropriate manipulations, the necessary conveyor belt rides and some pedagogical alchemy and you get the school […]

One year ago today, we published the first Blackademics Interview with John Hope Franklin. Since then, on the 15th of every month we’ve published interviews with some of the world’s most distinguised scholars, artists and activists. On our one year anniversary, I thought it would be nice put together a little tribute to celebrate one […]

Nappy Headed Hoes. This is the latest slur being used in the popular media to describe women of color. For those of you who aren’t up on the controversial remarks made by nationally syndicated radio host, Don Imus the following clip will bring you up to speed: (or read an article, here.)

I wanted to address an intriguing quetsion from Friday’s Roundtable. For those of you who don’t know, The Roundtable is a monthly gathering of graduate and undergraduate students from upstate New York (mostly from Syracuse University) who meet on the first Friday of each month at a multi-cultural pot-luck dinner/group discussion. It’s much like an […]

At Blackademics, our principal goal is to encourage a wide range of intellectually stimulating dialogue, and for the most part, that is what you, the Blackademics community, have been producing. However, a few recent comments have fallen a bit short of the minimum standards of discourse which we are prepared to tolerate. These comments have […]

On the night of the NBA all-star game, I though it would be a good time to address Tim Hardaway’s (a 5-time All-Star) controversial comments made during an interview on 790 the Ticket radio show earlier this week. Host Dan Le Batard was discussing John Amaechi, a retired NBA center who recently became the first […]

Tomorrow, Decmeber 1st, is World AIDS Day. What can we do in a day? Well, World Aids Day may not be able to cure all of the people affected by AIDS/ HIV, but it does strike a reminder in the minds of millions and in our often complacent society this is quite necessary. This World […]

I just got back from the Cheikh Anta Diop International Conference in Philly. It was dope! We heard from some of the leading scholars in Black Studies, (including three future Blackademics interview-ees, Dr. Molefi Asante, Dr. Na’im Akbar and Ron Karenga!). But one issue that was not addressed at the conference - actually an issue […]

The word pause has many meanings. You could pause your dvd player, or your Xbox 360, pause your television (if you have TiVo), your iPod or any number of technological devices. But I’ve noticed recently, that “pause” has additional meaning among my boys. Let me provide a context.
Yo, I’ve been working on this website and […]
