Dartmouth College To Offer #BlackLivesMatter Course

#BlackLivesMatter will be more than just a hashtag on social media. An ivy league school, Dartmouth College, will be turning it into a course.

The “10 Weeks, 10 Professors: #BlackLivesMatter” course will focus on “race, structural inequality and violence in both a historical and modern context,” according to their school newspaper, The Dartmouth. Ten academic departments within the school will be collaborating to bring the course to life, including women’s and gender studies, anthropology, math, English and history. Fifteen professors will be teaching different sections of the course.

The idea for this class was sparked at a Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning workshop, which encouraged professors to incorporate the events in Ferguson and thereafter into their coursework.

“We just thought that it might be interesting and innovative and exciting to have a course that’s dedicated to this, whereas lots of other people are incorporating it into other courses,” geography professor Abigail Neely told The Dartmouth.

“We hope students will be able to understand that Ferguson is not just an event in 2014, but something that’s tethered in time to a long history and still-emerging ideas about race in the U.S. and how policing works in an age of social media and distributed surveillance,” said English professor Aimee Bahng, who is currently writing her syllabus.

The class will be taught during the upcoming Spring semester.

A Detroit man who threatened the NYPD officer who put Eric Garner in a fatal chokehold has been indicted by a grand jury. Alvaro Eduardo Guzman-Telles, 29, was arrested on Jan. 7th in New Mexico and indicted on Jan. 27th.

Guzman-Telles took to his Facebook account in December 2014 and posted a status that read “Kill all cops on sight. No matter the circumstance.” When someone posted a comment under the status he replied “I’m going to personally kill and behead Daniel Pantaleo. This is a written threat and has to be taken extremely seriously.”

After being investigated by the FBI’s New York City Field Office, local cops visited his home where his mother told them that she told her son to delete his posts.

“He said those things about the police, but he doesn’t mean to do these things,” his mother Norma Telles told the New York Daily News.

Telles says her son has Asperger’s Syndrome, a highly functioning form of autism, which causes him to say things that he doesn’t mean.

Guzman-Telles, who has no criminal record, has three registered guns in his name but his father has control of them and he does not have access to the weapons. He faces five years in prison.

There was some hope that Bobby Shmurda would be leaving New York’s Rikers Island this week after his $2 million bail was posted last Friday (Jan. 30) by his “management associates.” The bail application was reportedly withdrawn on Wednesday (Feb. 4) and no new hearing is scheduled, according to the special narcotics prosecutor’s office for New York City.

“We’re trying to do a new bond application and are in the process in figuring that out,” said Bobby’s lawyer, Kenneth Montgomery. “We’re hoping to get it done within the next week.”

Montgomery requested a special bail hearing for Feb. 2nd in efforts to have the $2 million reduced, but the hearing request was denied.

The “Hot N—-a” rapper and his GS9 crew were arrested at New York City’s Quad Studios back in December 2014 and were hit with a slew of charges, including conspiracy, attempted murder, murder, reckless endangerment, weapons possession and criminally using drug paraphenalia.

The 20-year-old and his comrades are now facing an additional 32 charges. Their next court date is on Apr. 22nd.

Fans have been waiting patiently for Tha Carter V and to show his fans appreciation for their patience, Lil’ Wayne seems to be releasing a bevy of new music for free.  He took to Twitter this morning (Feb.5) to announce that he is releasing The Free Weezy Album, a follow up to Sorry 4 The Wait 2, which was released two weeks ago (Jan. 20).

This isn’t the only free album the Young Money general has up his sleeve. Word has it that Dedication 6 is on the way as well. DJ Drama announced via Instagram that mixtape was on the way, posting the caption “Sorry For The Wait 2. Carter V. Dedication 6.” under a pic of him, Wayne and Mack Maine.

Tunechi is currently battling with Brian “Baby” Williams to be released from his contract at Cash Money Records, the label he has called home since he was a teen. Weezy filed a $51 million lawsuit against Baby, claiming that he owes him millions of dollars for his delayed Tha Carter V album. Wayne says since he was not paid the advances he was supposed to receive once the album was finished and the album has not been released, he is entitled to bail from the label.

Student Punches Out Teacher For Alleged Racist Comments

Nice to see that kids got some fire in the belly. I don’t know if this kid was in the right, but certainly when an administrator suggests it was a justified assault, you tend to side with the student. Anyway, this teacher said some kind of racial comment and got socked for it. Peep the report from TheRoot.com. That teacher got F**KED UP! I cannot condone it based on the picture of the old man.

A Maryland high school teacher was punched and had to be hospitalized last week after witnesses claimed he made a racially insensitive remark, according to NBC Washington. According to the news station, the unnamed teacher at Forestville High School was assaulted Jan. 29 after a male student misinterpreted a comment the instructor made during class.

The Prince George’s County school system declined to state what the teacher said or what the student believed he heard, because of an ongoing investigation into the incident.

“If the comment was made that I was told was made, I can understand the pain and the anger in that student,” parent Cynthia Leslie told the news station.

The news station notes that the teacher was injured and added that the student would be disciplined. There was no word on whether the student would be criminally charged.”
