This is Show #20 - Race and Ethnic Relations on Campus - Teaching a Race Relations Seminar - Day 4 - in which I discussed many of the major sensitive concepts related to race and ethnic relations such as prejudice, racial prejudice, discrimination, explanations of racial prejudice and functions of racial prejudice. Although my students were ready to open our discussion up to many more of the day to day issues happening at our campus at the time, I made sure that we had a thorough discussions of the sensitive topics first and then we could address a few of the campus race and ethnic relations issues. This was another healthy sensitive discussion in which I felt my students wanted more feedback from me as to how our campus administrators reacted to some race relations issues at the time. In any case, I felt it is important to take "one step at a time" in discussing these very important race and ethnic relations issues. After you listen to this podcast, please send me an email: [email protected] so that I can get your feedback on this podcast and these culturally sensitive issues!

This is Show #19 - Race and Ethnic Relations on Campus - Teaching a Race Relations Seminar - Day 3 - in which I discussed the most serious topics of the seminar up to this point in time. Although I had framed out the lecture topics for the students, it was really the non-lecture topics which caused this class to be incredibly personal and thought-provoking! Such culturally sensitive issues such as "FEAR" of black males and "Affirmative Action Programs" caused us to re-assess and re-examine more of the basic and practical issues of race relations. After you listen to this podcast, please send me an email: [email protected] so that I can get your feedback on this podcast and these two issues!

This is Show #18 - Race and Ethnic Relations on Campus - Teaching a Race Relations Seminar - Day 2 - in which I discussed the importance of addressing these serious and culturally sensitive issues in this second class. Here I defined and received direct input from my Honor students about the key issues related to our class. These concepts and issues were as follows: race, racism, indirect racism, internalized racism, ethnocentrism, cultural relativism, and race relations. After discussing these key issues with my Honor students, I could tell we had made major progress in the direction and outcome of this course by the end of Day 2. If you have any comments after listening to this show, please feel free to email me at: [email protected] . I look forward to your feedback and input!

This is Show #17 - Race and Ethnic Relations on Campus - Teaching a Race Relations Seminar - Day 1 - in which I discuss the challenges of teaching a college seminar on race relations to a group of Honor students at my university.  During Day 1, I felt unsure as an instructor on how to approach my students and I could tell that they did not feel comfortable with me as an African American professor initially. Thus, I talk about how we overcame these very subtle issues in order to begin teaching this very sensitive topic of "race relations." If you have any comments, feel free to email me at: [email protected]. I look forward to your feedback and input!

This is Show #16 - Race and Ethnic Relations on Campus - Protesting the U.S. President - Donald Trump - in which I use this topic to start our Controversial Race Relations Topics to Discuss and Debate. Since this is a very hotly-debated and controversial topic to discuss among my college students, I give my students an opportunity to present their perspectives -- PRO vs CON -- as to whether they feel it is their RIGHT to protest the President or it's un-American to protest President Donald Trump. Surprisingly, this issue became a part of the larger discussion when the President actually visited our campus during the summer of 2019! In order to maintain civility in the classroom however, I allow students to present their perspectives and then I follow-up with my potential solution. After you listen to this podcast show, if you AGREE or DISAGREE with my potential solutions, please email me at: [email protected]. As with all of my podcast shows, I welcome a Professional, RESPECTFUL discussion of this very sensitive and politically-polarizing issue. Yet this is a very TEACHABLE opportunity for all whether you are a college student or not.

This is Show #15 - Race and Ethnic Relations on Campus - Controversial Race Relations Topics to Discuss and Debate - in which I change direction in my podcast shows so that we can examine more of the controversial, highly-polarizing topics related to race and ethnic relations. In this show, I share with you the reasons why it is so important to have a healthy debate about these issues and many more simply because this is the time in most college students' lives in which you are professionally-able to state your opinion FOR or AGAINST a particular topic without any major ramifications from sharing your opinion. I also highlight the various DEBATE topics from my book and emphasize the potential solution to each controversial issue. So please take some extra time to listen to this particular podcast show and send me your opinion about it or a new potential topic that you would like me to DEBATE and present a SOLUTION at [email protected].  Again, I welcome your FEEDBACK!

Here is Show #14 - Race and Ethnic Relations on Campus - Selfies Impact on Improving Race Relations -  in which I talk about how the simple "Selfie" that many students take each day, can actually help to improve race relations on their campus. The lasting impact of a Selfie for college students is unthinkable yet in time, each college student will seriously think about how their Selfie with another person of a different racial/ethnic background made them feel "good" at that moment in time. So PLEASE SEND ME YOUR SELFIE at: [email protected] so I can share with the world how college students today and in the future getting along with each other on their individual respective college and university!

This is SHOW #13 and it highlights a FUN CLASS EXERCISE ON RACE that I actually do in my college classes! In this show, I talk about the opportunity for college students to actually have fun and learn about about other racial populations from their peers in class. Although it's challenging at first, by the end, my students truly enjoy talking about and writing about the various cultural traditions, customs, and patterns that they know about each other groups. Sometimes they share the most STEREOTYPICAL attributes and other times they share detailed cultural traditions!! Again, my students have a lot of fun in this exercise. If you want to share some of YOUR cultural traditions, traits, and patterns, please send me an email at: [email protected]. After listening to this show, let me know more about your cultural traditions, patterns and traits so that ALL OF US CAN LEARN SOMETHING NEW and HAVE FUN!!

This is SHOW #12 - LIVE STREAM - in which I complete my FIRST full LIVE STREAM SHOW on Podbean platform.

Music, 5. Pop Culture - Social Media - 6. Slang terms - Language! Every college student who wants to interact and engage with other college students who happen to look different than you, these are some simple suggestions on how to get out of your comfort zone and meet other college students on your campus! Send me an email if you have OTHER SUGGESTIONS at: [email protected] . Thank you for listening to my FIRST LIVE STREAM PODCAST SHOW!
