We're back in full effect with new programming, new topics and a new discourse. Join Dburt & Capt. Kirk as they use their analytical microscopes to shed light on the following topics: a long overdue discussion regarding the erecting of a mosque near 911's Ground Zero in downtown NYC; the sexual harassment controversy surrounding TV Azteca's Ines Sainz and the NY Jets and lastly, revisiting a common Afronerd radio theme pertaining to the new minstrels-case in point, rap artist, Waka Flocka.

Hello Folks! We're back from a summer hiatus and get back into the internet broadcasting game. I have definitely missed broadcasting but we will get things back on track. Part of the Afronerd.com conservative recalibration entails a new addition to our podcasting team...Captain Kirk! I have received a number of emails inquring about not only the status of Afronerd Radio but also our opinions of some of the more prurient issues that occurred during these summer months. So upon request, we will have a brief discourse on last week's Glenn Beck-Restoring Honor rally; radio personality, Dr. Laura Schlessinger's infamous on air n-word rant; NJ Jets' cornerback, Antonio Cromartie and his family issues (multiple kids by multiple women) and lastly, if time permits, the ongoing phenomenon pertaining to internet celebrity masquerading as neo-minstrelsy.

Does Hip Hop Culture Impede Black Progress? Our guest this Sunday will attempt to answer this question. Author/journalist, Thomas Chatterton Williams stops by to discuss his latest literary effort, Losing My Cool: How a Father's Love and 15,000 Books Beat Hip-hop Culture. Mr. Williams will shed some light on the deleterious effect that Hip Hop has had on Black Culture. This is not the show to miss!

We ran out of time yesterday so it's time for par deux! A bit more on the Howard Stern vs Jamie Foxx vs Oprah vs Gabby Sidibe issue; Rev. Sharpton's recent National Action Network event in Harlem-NYC; Bill O'Reilly explains why he is laying off of Black topical coverage; a preview of tomorrow's Comic Shoppe discussion on the "Kick Ass" film and some parting words on the death of two great men-Civil Rights icon, Benjamin Hooks and noted journalist, David Mills.

It's definitely time to get back to business! Afronerd Radio returns for another fiery broadcast after a month plus long hiatus. Join us as we discuss and bring heavy analysis to the following topics: the stalled Jamie Foxx vs Howard Stern beef over Oprah and Gabby Sidibe-what's it all about Gabby?; Rev. Sharpton appears to be one upping Tavis Smiley with his recent Harlem Black Agenda event/symposium; Fox's Bill O'Reilly recently exclaimed that he has lessened his coverage on Black topics for fear of being labeled a racist; yours truly actually saw Marvel/Icon's Kick-Ass film and loved it and lastly our thoughts on the untimely passing of Civil Rights' icon Benjamin Hooks and fellow blogger/journalist, David Mills (of the blog Undercover Blackman for the uninitiated)

Join Dburt as he interviews author Ytasha Womack pertaining to her latest literary effort, "Post Black: How a New Generation Is Redefining African American Identity" and award winning blogger and self described Black Rock Evangelist, Rob Fields as they discuss the concept of an alternative Black cultural standard. How can Blackness be defined (or RE-defined) in the 21st century. This is NOT the show to miss!

Next week we will definitely be back on the regular Sunday schedule, but we will be broadcasting tonight at (7pm ET) to discuss and analyze the following: Tiger Woods' public apology aired this past Friday; how some media outlets (both Black and White) appear to be making parodies out of Black History Month as opposed to disseminating information and lastly, while perusing the cyber halls of the Field Negro blog last week, FN posed an open question to his White readers regarding yet another White college ghetto/minstrel themed frat party

The topics to be discussed: a few more words on John Mayer; Sarah Palin's "professorial" pejorative remarks being aimed at President Obama; the connection between Palin and the decline in Black student enrollment in prestigious NYC school; gangbangers shoot two youths while they were attending a Richmond, CA church and finally why Avatar may be more about race and the retelling of Tarzan than technological advancement.

Join us as we discuss the following: John Mayer's racially confused and insensitive remarks from Playboy magazine; Japanese snowboarder, Kazuhiro Kokubo, gets reprimanded (and rightfully so....) by Olympic officials for wearing street gear while representing his native country; the connection between Sarah Palin's tea party comments and the decline in the numbers of Black students in elite NYC public schools; revisiting Chris Matthews' "I almost forgot Obama was Black" comments during the president's SOTU address and if time permits, a further analysis of the racial criticisms levied toward the Avatar film.

Topics to be discussed: Haiti and Pat Robertson; Rush Limbaugh channeling Harry Reid regarding "light and dark skinned Black folk" becoming more enamored with President Obama if he helps Haiti (wow...); Gilbert Arenas' stupidity; Marvel's Black Panther cartoon airs in Australia and not the US (!!); the passing of Teddy Pendergrass and Percy Sutton and lastly, as the Precious film gets closer to Oscar recognition, another article encapsulates my thoughts about the racial and stereotypically regressive nature of the movie.
