What Trump and the Republicans have stumbled upon is the GOP version of the “celebrity presidency” of Obama … Sarah Palin may be a national joke but she was correct in her identification of Obama as a celebrity … He was. It was the reason Palin, also a minor celebrity, was added to the ticket, to balance off Obama… Trump is the ultimate celebrity … And the GOP’s answer to Obama … Lets nominate a reality TV star… Creator of “Celebrity Apprentice” have him say a bunch of crazy things to get the Tea Party people going…. And it’s working. I don’t believe for a second that the Republican Party is worried about Trump getting the nomination… Marco Rubio is the fall guy …. It makes them look like they are not pushing a arch-conservative racist for the nomination of their party. But when Trump is nominated, they will say: “hey we tried”. Stay woke people.

I will be leading the “activist” panel discussion next week at the conference that is looking at issues fueling the Black Lives Matter Movement: Racial profiling; “The school to prison pipeline”; The new Jim Crow; prisons; policing, etc. that Africana Studies is involved in planning at 5:30 pm on Tues. October 27th, Humanities Building, Room 1008. This panel discussion will basically be a discussion of Black Lives Matter and the millennial movement in general… We have some top name people who are going to “run it down”! The title of the discussion is: “Confronting Carceral States-What Would Victory Look like? Activism & Working Towards Solutions – Then and Now.” Feel free to post and circulate widely. The title of the conference is: “From the Color Line to the Carceral State: Surveillance, Prisons, and Police in the Making of Mass Incarceration”. Speakers and participants of this (mainly scholarly) conference are all nationally known in their areas. As you know, many scholars/academics who work in this area of the “carceral state” as it has come to be known, are often also engaged scholar-activists who, due to the specific nature of these issues, are really working in the prisons, leading prison education programs, interviewing folks, etc. In that sense, this is a very “engaged” conference with some of the top names on the academic-side of the struggle involved– many of whom you probably already know of or may know their work.
