Stacey Vintage GOLD is a special compilation of Afrocentric programming from our past. In part 1 of this two part series, we see how after civil rights were gained and all of our leaders killed, the intellectual Blacks began to take over and demand more from American colleges. They say American freedom is a constant fight, NO BLACK FREEDOM in WHITE AMERICA is the REAL fight. Let's TAKE BACK our MINDS~~ So as we see CRITICAL RACE THEORY thrown around everywhere, this is why. Whites in America fear the intellectual Black because they know if we band together, they can not longer be allowed to abuse us. This is a two part survey of Black Studies programs, which it calls the institutional guardian of the new black value system born from the struggle for freedom. At that time (like today) this institution is in trouble, for it has failed to define itself and the system it guards. Black administrators don't seem to understand that they were being loved to death, sort of kissed out of existences, says Dr. Milton White, director of Black Studies at the University of California, as he voices objection to the compromises forced on blacks who work within the white academic structure. Discussing the difficulties in Black Studies, he points to the recruitment of old Negro history teacher types who teach young blacks about Crispus Attucks and Malcolm X but fail to relate them to the present struggle. He also disparages the presence of those establishment-prone blacks thoroughly endowed with white middle-class values. Other blacks offer their view of the Black Studies programs and of the new value system: -One UCLA student laments the fact that her African language teacher is a white professor. -Leroy Higgenbotham of UCLA is shocked to find that many of his black students are actually afraid to go into Watts. -Dr. Howard Fuller of Malcolm X Liberation University (Greensboro, N.C.) accuses many blacks of claiming to be Africans while viewing Tarzan as a typical African native. White folk still control our minds, he says. -Federal City College (Washington, D.C.) students in a psychology of the ghetto class engage in a heated discussion over the meaning of revolution, the participation of middle-aged blacks, and the symbolism of an Afro haircut and traditional socio-psycho definitions. In scanning these colleges, the show finds that a new set of black values has not been clearly defined and that the meaning of Black Studies varies greatly from campus to campus. At California Polytechnic in Pomona, it is a confidence-building phenomenon, which at Federal City College in Washington, D.C. it is a destroyer of white nationalism (educational) myths. At UCLA Black Studies reaches into the black community, instructing black students to learn and apply what is functional to the community; and at the University of California in Santa Barbara it is viewed in terms of radicalism and activism institution which should be bringing about constant change, gaining and redefining new footholds.
