The class I had the big test in today is all about the American South. The professor is a PhD and has never taught the class to underclassmen before, so he's super hyped on making it challenging. His specialty is urban (re)development, processes of racialization, landscape studies, contested notions of identity and justice studies.

We didn't have to buy a textbook, but rather
3 books regarding race and the South, as
well as a ton of published journal articles
from researchers. Thus far, we've talked a
lot about plantations and slavery, and their
role in shaping America.

Question he posed the other day...do college athletics, specifically football and basketball, still seek to commodify black males, particularly in the South?

No but the south heavily populated with very talented AA athletes and if you want to win those are the kids you recruite. Back last year or so there was a thread in the football forum about this very samething.

I'll have to look for it. Although, I'm a little worried that a VN thread about the subject might not be objective and classy.

Wonder why...
