Angry Black White Boy

Been reading up on hip-hop scholarship, particularly in academia, and the host of interwoven subplots that come into play. Interestingly enough, the notion of experts not of color on subjects specifically for and/or about people of color is nothing new, yet still fascinates and bewilders me concurrently. Check out what next Monday has in store 'up the road.'

Brothers About Change will be hosting an event Monday January 23, 2006 at 6:00pm in the Raytheon Amphitheater at Northeastern University. Author, poet, and rapper (huh?) ADAM MANSBACH will be our featured guest as we try to breakdown and understand the complexities of racial identity. The event will begin with performances by ADAM MANSBACH from his book, ANGRY BLACK WHITEBOY, a novel based on a white man's acute understanding of white privilege and his attempts to expose it. It will then transition into a discussion centered on white privilege, racial politics, and the way our generation is dealing with race and racism. It will be followed with a question and answer session. Please join us for an entertaining and humorous view on a serious topic.

Skepticism is sure to be one of many immediate afterthoughts for some. But I may have to hit it up nonetheless.
