        <description><![CDATA[From: Nat Turner in Bryant Gumbel's Clothing Recently, I had the chance to view Beats, Rhymes, and Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest, the new documentary directed by actor Michael Rapaport.  You’ll likely remember him from his roles as “Zack” in Zebrahead (1992); “Remy” from Higher Learning (1995); or from Spike Lee’s film Bamboozled (2000); where he portrayed “Mr. Thomas Dunwitty,” the racist, self-centered, and egotistical television producer who believed he knew black people better than they knew themselves.Like most folk my age who love hip hop—the culture and the music — I have an affinity for what A Tribe Called Quest (ATCQ) brought to our lives. For a self-professed “brainy jock” (cool term for nerd who played sports) like myself, ATCQ was part of my life’s soundtrack. I distinctly remember when each album dropped and what I was doing when the day I purchased it. All five albums mean something different to me—though some are better than others. Like most fans I can have an intense debate]]></description>

As I went through my usual Sunday morning ritual of reading newspapers and simultaneously watching CBS Sunday Morning, I had one of those special moments. I don’t know and can’t remember what the context was for the song, but I heard The Intruders’ 1973 classic, “I’ll Always Love My Mama.”Immediately a flurry of emotions and memories went through my mind. I’ll get to those in a minute, but it was great that]]></description>

Lost in the hype over what have been thrilling upsets and just great basketball (except for the Championship game) is a controversy of former college basketball greats, Michigan’s Jalen Rose and Duke’s Grant Hill. A couple weeks before the NCAA “Selection Sunday” the passionate responses of two former college basketball superstars took center stage in two of the most widely recognized newspapers in America: The New York Times and the Wall Street Jo]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Nat Turner in Bryant Gumbel's Clothing Over the past few days we have been bombarded with images and videos of Dr. King, from his “Normalcy, Never Again” (“I Have a Dream”) speech, to his final public address, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.” However, I was surprised to see an image of King making its rounds on the internet (via Twitter) that I had not seen in a long time. The photograph is of King preparing to take a behind the back shot at the eleven ball during a game of pool. From the photo, it looks like he knew what he was doing—this definitely was not the first time Dr. King had held a pool cue in his hands. In reading the comments of those who tweeted and re-tweeted (RT) the photo, many had never seen this particular image of the famous civil rights leader. As I started to follow discussions about the picture, most people really just hinged on how cool it was to see a picture like that of King in that setting, or some mentioned things about the artistry of the photograph. I looked at it, remembering t]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[What Does Democracy Look Like?]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: Nat Turner in Bryant Gumbel's Clothing This latest blogpost was taken from a collection of tweets I rattled off in the immediate aftermath of the Arizona shootings. Due to the number of responses I received, and after some careful thought, I compiled my tweets (and a few responses) into an essay of sorts. I’ve edited the tweets as I thought was necessary and also cited some of my “Twitterfolk” in this piece. I look forward to hearing any comments you may have. With the recent shooting of congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, I ask the question, “What does democracy look like?” We tend to think of America as the bastion for this system of government, a true personification of the Greek dēmokratia.  It is easy believe in the myth of  “American exceptionalism” this notion that we are unlike any other nation before or after us.  Thus, as the protectors of this system, our government historically has been the champion of making the world safe for democracy. That in mind, an even better question, posed by @NvrComfortab]]></description>

There was no consultation with the faculty prior to this decision.  There was no meeting with students prior to the Provost’s announcement.No research evidence was provided to justify this move.Africana resources such as budget and faculty lines are in jeopardy of being absorbed by Arts and Sciences.Africana will now be open as a free for all for those who know little about the field.There has been a revolving cycle of similar attempts from the founding of Africana 41 years ago.The Ph.D., which is offered as a new gift, is already in proposal form and only left to be implemented.There was blatant disrespect of Africana faculty in this process.

        <description><![CDATA[From: Nat Turner in Bryant Gumbel's Clothing I am always amazed, and do marvel, at the brilliance and genius of the expressive aspects of African American culture. However, I really should extend it to include the African Diasporic culture because there are brothers and sisters on each continent that are writing, painting, speaking, singing, rapping, teaching, painting and just overall finding new and innovative ways to speak to the essence of soul—that one thing that resides in each of us, but particularly it is that feeling you get&nbsp; when something created moves you to move, write, preach, or sing with such passion, such conviction that it can make you have goose bumps or equally make tears to fall from your eyes. Soul in the African Diasporic context is not simply a James Brown scream or an Aretha Franklin moan, but it very much is the essence and identity of hope in hopeless situations, joy amidst pain, love in the presence of hate. In the African American context, it is the blues. It is gospel. It is jazz. It is rhythm]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Nat Turner in Bryant Gumbel's Clothing This latest offering on my blog has been a long time coming. It was originally inspired by a Twitter conversation I had with Professor Blair L. M. Kelley of North Carolina State University earlier this summer. She urged me to write something then (as did others) and I’m just now getting around to it. It seems though, however, that this topic is still quite relevant.For quite some time now, we have been hearing about the growing malaise with President Barack Obama, but not from the usual conservative critics, but from his so called “progressive” base. It started in small pockets at first, ironically just like the Tea Party Movement, only with the liberal criticism it was initially confined to a few academics articulating their disappointment with Obama as president. Now, like a virus, the “buyer’s remorse” attitude seems to be sweeping through the mainstream media outlets as well as in the liberal blogosphere. This past weekend for instance, on CBS’s “Face the Nation”]]></description>
