This is a serious question.

What type of professions would you be able to do with a degree in "African American Studies"

[tweaker1bms]

@3beepu Most obviously is an academic one, just as I sought as a philosophy major, though there are probably more. But that such a job may be the only available one does not diminish the importance of the content within the lectures and courses. This is cultural capital that enriches everyone's lives no matter what professions they go on to take.

Niggerstudies.

[unreall03]

Can there be a white study only?

So stupid

[Alberto2382]

This lecture was one of the best dealing with the subject matter of African American Studies. It encompassed issues such as gender and sexuality which usually don't get mentioned to often within African American Studies. Thanks for the elucidating lecture Mark!

[snakesinmypants]

WTF is this shit..... ought to do what? .... just check out south africa or haiti for the "good society" fucking black "leaders" are just corrupt shits who take advantage of its people and then blames whites for all the ills in society.

[bigjezzy82]

@snakesinmypants you are blind and it's exactly why your so frightened about upward movement of Black folk. we ain't all fools just like your people but there are some like yourself.

[jpenneyatyahoodotcom]

yeah the ums and ahs are really distracting, it's too bad because the subject matter is one of the most important things the poor white people of this country need to understand.

[snakesinmypants]

@mocahontas077 I know u people didn't swim here because blacks are afraid of the water. U people got her by way of the Atlantic Triangular Trade.

[4life1971]

[kingtubby1980]

very annoying speaker

too many instances of the term ummm

[htspassion18]

not to mention pretty useless subject

[tweaker1bms]

@htspassion18 History informs us about the present, unless of course you think learning about the present is useless.
