The Boondocks and Black Power Media: Revolutionizing the Black Public Sphere

Posted by on January 24, 2011 5 Comments

Dr. Mark Bolden led this discussion on The Boondocks and Black Power Media.  The presentation covers aspects of African history, media and culture, as well as, the politics of mass media and the Black public sphere.  We discussed The Boondocks in the context of an absence of a genuine Black public sphere or place where radical politics can be discussed and where systemic antagonisms facing Black people can be organized out of existence.

Thanks again to the good folks at Highline Community College in Seattle, WA. for arranging the event and producing this video.

    Appreciate you posting this video. It took me back to my college days, and made me ask “Why the hell I couldn’t have had Dr. Ball and Dr. Bolden AKA Dr. “Hate” as my professors?” What I like most about you making this video available is that you demystify the academia, and make the knowledge available for the community. I think this is key when trying to create social movements that mobilize people for their sovereignty, because they have been inculcated that all progress has to come from above i.e. a plutocratic neocolonialists like Obama. The analysis was spot-on when you and Dr. Bolden pointed out that our African public space for debate has been negated.

    I remember when this particular episode of the Boondocks was to air, there was mass hysteria about the hype that was created from the video released mocking Will-IAM, and people were running around saying, “They are about to tell the truth on Boondocks!” While I found it refreshing to have some level of excitement generated about the real lack of progressiveness of Obama, I found it utterly disturbing it had to come from Sony Pictures Cartoon Network. Glen Ford, Paul Street, Dr. Greg Carr, yourself, Dr. Bolden, Omali Yeshitela, Cynthia McKinney, Rosa Clemente, Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, and even Naomi Klein (to name a few of many) spearheaded an objective critical critique of Obama’s lack thereof revolutionary or even progressive politics; I think it’s important to note the aforementioned didn’t advocate for McCain as the straw man argument is presented by those who advocate for Obama as merely being “the lesser of two evils”. Again, thanks Jared, (I can’t wait to get the book I saw a release date for April on Amazon. I love the title!). Also is it possible you could provide the link or title to that article you mention about the 3% African corruption, I would love to link that to my site. Thanks.

    Thanks for posting, Jared. And thanks to the Highline Community for opening up the space to have these polylogues.

    If I can use this space as a footnote, we are working on a Boondocks paper with Dr. Chante’ DeLoach. And the phrasing of Black Power Media can be found on line at http://blackpowermedia.com/. Brothers Amari and Samori put me onto this site.
