if I’m generous at heart I don’t need recognition, the way I’m rewarded well, that’s God’s decision

Black Studies is one of the most important fields of research in the United States because it does not merely study society; it studies the machinery that has organized society through domination, theft, oppression, racial hierarchy, and white supremacist violence. More than almost any other discipline, Black Studies confronts white supremacism not as an abstract prejudice, but as a global system that has shaped law, education, medicine, capitalism, policing, housing, war, culture, and the very meaning of who gets to be seen as fully human. That is why its enemies are never accidental. It is no coincidence that white supremacists—whether white themselves or non-white people seeking refuge in the privileges of whiteness—consistently attempt to dismantle Black Studies. They are not simply afraid of a curriculum. They are afraid of what happens when Black students gain access to the intellectual tools to name the world, critique the world, and remake the world. They are threatened by Black presence in spaces they imagined as white, white-adjacent, or obedient to white approval. Black Studies is dangerous to them because it teaches that oppression is not natural, that history is not neutral,that liberation is not a fantasy, and that liberators are to be loved and honored. It exposes the lie beneath the institution(s). It reminds us that the classroom can become a site of struggle, that study can become a form of resistance, and that knowledge, when rooted in Black epistemology, and consciousness, can become a weapon against the world that tried to bury it. Always pay close attention to the things your enemies want eradicated and erased. Because what they try to strangle and suffocate, is often where the truth is alive and breathing.

One of those Black assistants who had the resume but never got the promotion. Arguably his repeated failure to get that call-up helped to spur the Rooney Rule.

Sherman Lewis, who won four Super Bowl championships as an assistant coach, died on Friday at 83 years old. Lewis, an All-American RB at Michigan State and Heisman finalist in 1963, went on to become an NFL assistant for 22 seasons.

Hundreds of students at The Watertown High School in Wisconsin walked out of school after the conservative school board, banned a song with no lyrics whatsoever from being played by the school band. The school board claimed that this song “indoctrinated students and endorsed violence”. It was “A Mother of a Revolution,” and it had NO LYRICS AT ALL.
