I have a theory I wanna run by y'all:
A lot of wackademics are used to their anti-Black misandry being applauded in academic and in-group echo chambers. The fact that Black Male Studies reasserts the humanity and experiences of Black men and boys in that space scares them.
Why does it scare them? Because of it's grounding in empirical data (and just because it exists), Black Male Studies challenges the anti-Black, anti-intellectual, genocidal rhetoric its detractors love. Students and the public see this, and their funders see it too.

Black male political analysts being ignored by smug MSM pundits: A Short Thread:
Exhibit A:
Have y'all noticed how everytime Black people rise up against injustice their energy gets co-opted, deflected and redirected into agendas that have absolutely nothing to do with why people were in the streets?
Have y'all noticed how it's always a select group of black people in "activism", academia and media who are the faces of that process?

I used to tend bar and was very involved in Atlanta nightlife. Would y'all like to hear some stories about things I've seen the cops let drunk white people (ESPECIALLY drunk white women) get away with?
#RayshardBrooks#AtlantaShooting
Let's start with Buckhead. It's a very wealthy, white neighborhood. In the early 2000s there were bars & clubs on every foot of public space. It was common to see drunk or high trust fund kids passed out on the street or in bushes. Nobody ever got arrested for some reason.

I love writing, I love journalism. But I have to be honest, a lot of the American media establishment is clueless.
There are people I respect who are excellent journalists but the industry that calls itself journalism in America is more PR than press. And far too many people in it are clueless and careerist to the point where they serve nothing beyond their egos.
