There has been an ongoing intellectual battle in the African American intellectual circle about the make up of African American studies. The left and MSNBC liberals wants to vastly increase the scope of Black studies to gave high prominence to the LGBTQ community- as a distinct and separate sub group. The centrist among African Americans have resisted.
It is this disagreement that have given muscle to haters like DeSantias to exploit.
Now lets get down to the internal conflict. Liberal wants to sliver out the queer, transgender and other LGBTQI segments as an inherent part of Back Studies. We can all agree that is wrong as all LGBTQI issues cuts evenly across all ethnic groups and it doesn't belong as a specific category in any Black studies or any ethnic group study for that matter.
It is also not about equal rights for buller-men and other gender conflicted persons.
I have tried hard to bring divers groups together at the local level to discuss.
In reply to Emir Man what you say there sounds like total mishegaas to me, nincompoops thinking. Not blaming you lets stipulate that that is the thinking how or why would that justify the AP academic board acquiescing to racist Desantis musings and suggesting that African History having no ACADEMIC value. There is so much wrong with this. Maybe you can illuminate though I believe racism, idiocy and kowtow are the only plausibilitys
