The online discussion around Black men being absent from college campuses has been surface level. To understand how we got here, we have to understand how this was set in motion.

The fact is social media and a large portion of women hate black fathers being black fathers in ways they didn’t deem acceptable…. It’s unfortunate man and so disheartening 😢😢
The only people upset about what Anthony Mackie said either grew up fatherless or had a mother who ruined their credit as toddlers buying rent-to-own furniture in their names that they defaulted on.
Every statement Black Male Studies scholars make is supported by citations and empirical evidence, because of clowns like you who rely on the anti-Black misandrist Bell Hooks "trust me bro" method to push back against irrefutable data.
Hey, Black men:
If you're in shape, decent looking, don't have multiple baby mamas and have a job, skill, goal, or a passion that you're pursuing...
Do you know how many options you have when choosing a life or a wife?
Don't get gaslit into settling for low quality in either.
People brainwashed by corporate media are on social media, supporting a Nazi battalion. You can despise Trump and still realize Ukraine is a money laundering operation.
This right here is what I mean when I talk about community. I grew up in that energy. It's gone now (deliberately destroyed) but this is the social fabric that kept Black Americans a close knit culture even in poverty.
Remember when western journalists were weeping on camera saying Ukraine is not some third world country but Europe? I do.
Remember how Ukrainian military formations used prominent Nazi symbols? I do.
Remember how African students got kicked off evac buses? I do.
Y'all can fall for more emotional manipulation if you want to, I'm good. Let them fight it out.

QUESTION 🙋🏽♂️: WHY Do RACISTS keep insinuating that the pilots are Black, but ALL the plane crashes this year have involved WHITE pilots.

Ernest Everett Just was a pioneering African American biologist. He is best known for his work in the field of cell biology, particularly in embryology and fertilization.
born on August 14, 1883, in Charleston, South Carolina, Just graduated with honors from Kimball Union Academy in New Hampshire and then from Dartmouth College in 1907, where he was one of the few black students. He later earned a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1916.
Much of his research was conducted at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where he studied the fertilization process and the role of the cell surface in development. He made significant contributions to understanding how egg cells are fertilized, focusing on marine invertebrates like sea urchins and marine worms.
Just's work helped to establish the importance of the cell surface in the process of fertilization, challenging existing theories at the time. He published numerous papers and a book, "The Biology of the Cell Surface" (1939), summarizing his research.
Despite his scientific achievements, Just faced racial discrimination throughout his career, which limited his opportunities for academic positions and funding in the United States. He spent much of his later career in Europe, particularly in France, where he could work with less racial bias.
Just died on October 27, 1941. Over time, Just's contributions have been more widely acknowledged. The Marine Biological Laboratory established an award in his name, the E. E. Just Award, which recognizes outstanding achievement in biology by individuals from underrepresented groups.
Ernest Everett Just's life and work continue to be celebrated for both his scientific contributions and his resilience against the racial barriers of his time.

Dr. Tommy J. Curry is an American scholar, author, and professor of philosophy known for his work in Africana philosophy and Black Male Studies.
Curry received his master's degree from DePaul University in 2004 and his doctorate in philosophy from Southern Illinois University in 2009. His dissertation, titled "Cast Upon the Shadows: Essays toward the Culturalogic Turn in Critical Race Theory," is notable for being the only known work in philosophy to explore Derrick Bell's political philosophy using exclusively Black authors and theorists.
He is the author of several influential works, including: "The Man-Not: Race, Class, Genre, and the Dilemmas of Black Manhood" (2017), which won the American Book Award in 2018. This book discusses controversial topics like the rape of Black males during slavery and critiques of white feminism.
"Another White Man’s Burden: Josiah Royce’s Quest for a Philosophy of White Racial Empire" (2018), which earned the Josiah Royce Prize in American Idealist Thought in 2020.
Curry has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Alain Locke Award by the Society of American Philosophy in 2017 for his public intellectual work on anti-Black racism. He was also listed among the Top 15 Emerging Scholars of Color by Diverse Magazine in 2018.
His work has sometimes been at the center of controversy. For instance, comments he made on a podcast were taken out of context by some media, leading to backlash from alt-right and neo-Nazi groups. Despite this, his scholarship is widely respected in academic circles, particularly for its depth in critical race theory, Black Male Studies, and the intersection of race, gender, and philosophy.
After facing challenges in securing a teaching position in the U.S., Curry moved to the University of Edinburgh, UK, where he has continued his research and educational efforts, particularly focusing on establishing Black Male Studies as a legitimate academic field. He currently holds a Personal Chair in these fields at the University of Edinburgh as of 2019.
Dr. Curry's work challenges traditional academic narratives by focusing on the unique experiences of Black men and boys, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of race, gender, and violence in society. His scholarship combines social science with philosophical inquiry to address and critique systemic racism and its implications.
