Racial Battle Fatigue
African American males experience acute or chronic stress from discriminatory treatment and racial microaggressions, decreasing their biopsychosocial health. Racial microaggressions include but are not limited to merciless and mundane exclusionary messages, being treated as less than fully human, and civil and human rights violations. Racial microaggressions are key to understanding increases in racial battle fatigue (Smith, 2004) resulting from …
Exploring Student Achievement Gaps in School Districts Across the United States
This study examined factors contributing to achievement gaps between White and African American students in 2,868 diverse school districts across the United States. Using pooled data across five school years (2008-2013), six grade levels (grades third to eighth, which typically include students aged 8 years-14 years) and two different subjects (math and English language), descriptive, correlational, and multiple linear regressions were used to id…
Into the Storm
While much is known about how Black students negotiate and navigate undergraduate studies, there is a dearth of research on what happens when these students enter graduate school. This article presents the results of a study of 21 Black male graduate students in engineering from one highly ranked research-intensive institution. This article provides evidence of structurally racialized policies within the engineering college (e.g., admissions) and…
The Racial Crisis in American Higher Education
Challenging Racial Battle Fatigue On Historically White Campuses
Race is continually under construction through the various means of socialization. The chief agents of socialization are the family, government, school, church, peers and friendship networks, and of course the media. This chapter deals with the family as it applies to the production, manipulation, alteration and perpetuation of racial social constructs. Covert racism remains submerged, entangled in the centuries-old tentacles borne of exploitatio…
Racial Primes and Black Misandry on Historically White Campuses
Background: Racial primes are an outgrowth and inculcation of a well-structured, highly developed, racially conservative, "race-neutral" or "color-blind" racial socialization process in which children learn race-specific stereotypes about African Americans and other race/ethnic groups. As they get older, they continue to receive-both involuntary and voluntary-corroborating messages of anti-Black stereotypes from adults, friends, games, folklore, …

Gender and Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Affirmative Action Attitudes of U.S. College Students
Most of the literature on affirmative action focuses on European American adults' opposition to it. This study extends that focus by investigating gender and racial/ethnic differences in college students' support for affirmative action in higher education. Multivariate analysis of data from a diverse sample (N = 290) found greater differences along racial/ethnic than gender lines. European and Asian American students expressed greater opposition …
Of Sonia's Doli, Grandfather's Fiddle, and the Changeling
For two generations critics of conductor Leopold Stokowski commented on his strange accent, inconsistent accounts of his origins, birth date and childhood. Hostile and influential critics averse to Stokowski's music making and to his life style created a Stokowski stereotype based largely on these inconsistencies in which the conductor was summed up as "charlatan, poseur and phony." However the accent, romanticised childhood and family were so im…
Leopold Stokowski
In his delightful 1958 book, The Musical Life, critic Irving Kolodin deliberately torpedoed the cliches of many of his colleagues in describing conductor Leopold Stokowski-no stories about the glamor boy of conducting, his womanizing, his supposed musical vulgarity, nor his Hollywood adventures. Instead Kolodin offered several insights about the musician and asked couple of thoughtful questions, doing so with something like awe of the then sevent…
