Dr. Kamau Rashid & Dr. Miron Clay-Gilmore: The Attack On Black Academia

In this interview, we speak with Dr. Kamau Rashid and Dr. Miron Clay-Gilmore about the ongoing challenges facing Black academics and the broader attack on Black intellectual life.

We take a deep look at the controversy surrounding Jason Arday and what his case reveals about the treatment of Black scholars within academia. The conversation also explores philosophy as a discipline, the role of sociology, and how Black intellectual traditions have challenged dominant academic frameworks.

Drawing on the work and ideas of W.E.B. Du Bois and Huey P. Newton, we discuss Black scholarship, power, knowledge, institutional racism, and the importance of developing intellectual traditions rooted in the experiences and struggles of Black people.

This is a wide-ranging conversation about academia, philosophy, sociology, Black intellectual history, and the future of Black scholarship.

⁣Episode 1 — The Price of Division

"When two brothers fight, a stranger inherits the land."

An ongoing land dispute between two traditional rulers has the local population in disarray. Meanwhile, the United Nations are coming up with a plan to extract a very rare mineral (which has the potential of advancing their technological ambitions 10x more than gold, cobalt, bauxite and diamonds combined). With an existing foothold in the local presbyterian churches, the UN look to leverage disloyal (phenotypically) Black preachers to assist with obtaining access to the land without causing a fuss with the local community. Fortunately the Nananom are well aware of this ploy, and alert mktyw kmt (Defenders of the Black Land), who immediately take action.

As the US empire officially removes Syria from over 50 years worth of sanctions lists and integrates it under the leadership of an Al-Qaida affiliate head, the rest of the world is reminded once again that to the empire, objective truth and facts do not exist. It's all just...words.
