I am so proud. As a life-long educator, I’ve never said (or even really thought) those words. Having PRIDE of my academic endeavors is still a foreign concept… but I am proud. In your free time, please take a look at this summary of my research - https://t.co/f0lKfPdDqP

@alpha1906 …. Of black athletes in multiple areas, including treatment, responding to racist interactions by fans and staff, and other issues experienced by the students and the families. Asking a teenager to adjust their recruitment process for community they don’t belong to is a big ask

[Narrative Shifter Ed.D @FiveMikes]

@alpha1906 … All of these collective energies being proposed by the NAACP are used to create a college black athlete union that loosely represents the collective needs of black athletes across football basketball and other revenue generating sports that addresses the needs….

[Narrative Shifter Ed.D @FiveMikes]

@alpha1906 It seems like 6 in one hand, half dozen the other. The plan is asking them to avoid certain schools for other, possibly less dominant schools. Not only are those numbers too small to shift the needle, the impact is so narrow. What if….

[Narrative Shifter Ed.D @FiveMikes]

@alpha1906 Each year, the schools don’t always get their top recruits. And when that happens, they take the next level or recruits and use their staff, facilities, etc to make them the players they want and need. A handful of top recruits don’t hold enough leverage for this level of change.

[Narrative Shifter Ed.D @FiveMikes]

@alpha1906 If a student athlete doesn’t commit to said school, where’s the leverage? Wouldn’t there be more leverage if signed players decided not to play once they are students, instead of not signing to begin with. Just as much at stake & puts the universities more in a bind.

[Narrative Shifter Ed.D @FiveMikes]

@alpha1906 Yeah bro. I hear you. No need to condescend. But I know how y’all (us) Alphas are. I’ve been in protest. I know how they work. First hand. No need to list my credentials, etc. but I get it. I just don’t see this angle of protest working. This approach just seems misplaced.

[Narrative Shifter Ed.D @FiveMikes]

@alpha1906 Because some people don’t agree with the tactics, you make the (social media) declaration that you’re sad because many Black people were taught to be scared of power? It can’t just be that folks don’t agree with this tactic? With this approach? Or are just asking questions….

[Narrative Shifter Ed.D @FiveMikes]

I understand why this FEELS good. But knowing what college access has meant for Black families generationally — why put anything in the way of Black students getting there? This one feels off to me.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

NAACP President Derrick Johnson: The NAACP is calling on athletes coming out of high school not to attend any state-funded schools of states that have moved to minimize our right to vote. The NAACP will fight in solidarity with the CBC to ensure that we have representation, and if we don't, we will withhold the talent that play on the football field on the basketball court in this moment.

[The Root @TheRoot]

A Louisiana resident who identified himself as Marshawn delivered a fiery, emotional speech to lawmakers during a state Senate hearing over redistricting Monday, accusing Republicans of trying to “cheat” Black voters out of political power.
