Original Question/Statement by Tamaques Porter
Edit: Prof. Clifford Black
In class, it brought a tickle to me when I first heard about Negro 101. The question came into my mind: Is this a subject that is being taught at historically black colleges (HBCU’s)? I think that I am starting to learn how to see the reasons behind so much talk, by so-called black people, about the issue of Race. I have come to realize that people have a tendency to say a lot about issues that they don’t understand, or that they know nothing about. It is obvious that if one has very little information then that one has very little to think about. When very little is being thought about then the habit of talking about nothing becomes the order of events that will most times be the matter of the discussion. Ill-informed people have very little to talk about so they discuss their delusions as if the nonsensical illusions are, in fact, realities. Sometimes people who live in what they have identified as a bad condition need someone else or something to blame their condition (as they see it) onto. Once I started the process of self-examination regarding my own condition(s) I found that it had very little to do with so-called Race.
As I, as an individual, having gained the ability to know and see more of what is, I am starting to see more questions. I need to know if main stream media has done any of the work that needs to be done in order to unravel some truths about the issue they are describing as Race. In other words what is main stream media (CNN and others) doing to qualify what they are broadcasting regarding the subject of Race? Why do so-called black people talk about the issue of Race (as they understand it) and their conditions as if one is responsible for the other?
