Black Culture Discussion Thread


"A new scholarly journal with a home base at Stanford is making its debut this fall, taking a unique approach to the study of Black life, language, and culture.

The Journal of Black Language and Culture (JBLAC) is the first publication of its kind to approach its theme through a multitude of disciplines, bridging research areas that are typically siloed in academia, the editors said.

“We’re challenging the traditional boundaries of language and culture research, with a focus that just isn’t found in other journals,” said Anne Charity Hudley, a professor and associate dean of educational affairs at Stanford Graduate School of Education (GSE), who serves as the journal’s lead editor. “There are journals that focus on linguistics or culture separately, but we’re offering a space where they’re fully interconnected – where language practices are centered as both a product and shaper of Black cultural life.”

The open-access, peer-reviewed journal will begin publishing in early 2026, with articles including an analysis of teacher survey data on African American language in STEM, an exploration of Black community identification at a historically white university, and a study of how Black linguistic and cultural practices can support communities affected by diabetes.

The journal will host a series of webinars beginning on Nov. 7, including guidance for submissions, applying to join the editorial board, and introductions to special themes for upcoming issues.

JBLAC is a project of the GSE’s Black Academic Development (BAD) Lab, a collective of scholars from universities across the country, led by Charity Hudley. The journal is published by Cambridge University Press in partnership with the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), making it one of four major journals sponsored by the LSA."

re: Her last point. It's always funny when kids like to all of a sudden fall back into the "I'm just a kid" role after acting like an adult when it's convenient for them. Sometimes I wonder if the toothpaste is just so far gone at this point.

I know it's not everyone/everywhere but it's really sad to see so much of it on a daily basis man.

Welcome to the new culture. I’ve been saying for the longest on here how bad these young kids are and how they should be punished and thrown in jail even at an early age for any felony they commit. Now with videos and instances like THIS occurring on the regular WE now see that the chickens have come home to roost.

If those were white kids beating up on a black mother and her kids folks would be protesting, marching, rioting and calling up mush mouth Benjamin Crump for legal representation. However, since it’s a bunch of regular black kids from the neighborhood EVERYONE is cool with it, down with the program, and will do absolutely NOTHING about it. I would venture to say the black people that lined up in front of the school and did nothing to make those kids or their parents feel worse about what they did want to see more occurrences like this same one happen again.
 
2 things. Why did she even stop to entertain those children and why do we keep dodging the real issue here? Folks are failing as parents. I know they'll probably never start charging parents for children's crimes because its going to be just as many, if not more white parents than anything else but can we get to the actual root of the problem? Ijs, let a person find out they can do time for the actions of their children. I'm willing to bet people change their parenting style.
 
Yeah idk if I want to go to jail or be fined if my kid does dumb ****.

Mother said the group of kids followed them to that point in the video. So she tried to get away. You aren't going to keep walking knowing someone is walking behind you wanting to do harm.

We’ve been talking about parents being failures for years now.

(And I don’t like to generalize because they’re are still some good, productive and proactive kids)

A lot of the kids have absolutely NO respect or discipline

Come on now.

Can’t run away from the heat when they fanned the flames of anti immigration, especially now that we can all see that all the “anti-illegal immigration” talk was just cover to go after all “people of color,” which *surprise* includes black people, regardless of how/when they arrived here.

The fact is that for all the hate Trump has been spewing for the past 10 years, he cracked the 10% ceiling for the black man’s vote, against a black woman. That’s significant. Some introspection is needed here.
