The Black Man on Campus. Doing the knowledge on teaching, education, culture, and society. April 27, 2015. April 26, 2015. April 26, 2015. Saturday, on my way home from a class I am taking at Cal through my BAWP affiliation, I ran across this billboard at the intersection of 73. No, this thing is foul, F-O-W-L. This billboard’s message is not as simple as the “math” it is purporting (and who does this math benefit? Yo, as a father of two Black males, I am perplexed, vexed, and heated. Moments like these ...

The Black Man on Campus. Doing the knowledge on teaching, education, culture, and society. It’s the BMOC. April 3, 2015. April 4, 2015. As I look back on that first year, and where I am at now, over 15 years in the game, my year as an emergency credentialed teacher taught more than any credential program could have. I learned some really important survival skills like:. Avoid the staff lounge and complaining colleagues at all costs. Be careful what you assign, because you have to grade it. Those incident...

The Black Man on Campus. Doing the knowledge on teaching, education, culture, and society. Lists Go H.am. April 7, 2015. April 7, 2015. I like listing things. Not listing for ranking, because I know by my race, gender, class, ethnicity and place of rest I am perpetually o. N the bottom of lists by those who value hierarchy over humanity (that social/cultural/racial totem pole is, in the words of Johnny “Guitar” Watson, “a real mother for ya”). I like listing as a generative source. To me, what came out o...

The Black Man on Campus. Doing the knowledge on teaching, education, culture, and society. The Madness Marches On. April 4, 2015. April 5, 2015. I have a certain lens I look at the world through. Actually several, because like you, our one self is really several selves, nested in the matryoshka doll of who we are. But, I apologize and am unapologetic at one and the same time for what I write next. Okay, that is my disclaimer. With all that being said, all of my lens are coming together to take a hard loo...

The Black Man on Campus. Doing the knowledge on teaching, education, culture, and society. May 15, 2015. May 17, 2015. I teach three senior classes, and I have seen something more severe than the Senior Slump it is the Graduating Face Plant! My literature students are another story. They ask me, Are we done? Every year I teach this novel, Hell or high water, but I didn’t, or couldn’t manage to do so this school year. It was both Hell and high water this year in ways not fit to describe without earning my...

The Black Man on Campus. Doing the knowledge on teaching, education, culture, and society. Dawg, It’s the S.O.S. April 12, 2015. April 12, 2015. I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also, much more than that. So are we all. 8212; James Baldwin. Often times, during practices and games, standing on the sideline, I would hear my friend, who is a brother to me, even in the miles between us now, would yell S.O.S! Same ol’ shit, dawg he told me. He would pick up on th...
