Do Black Intellectuals Need to Talk About Race?

An "interesting" question. Note that not a single academic (as in working for a university) is from an HBCU.

This means that among other things, the person who thought this up doesn't have a single academic in their "rolodex" (more likely Outlook Address book or iPhone contacts) from an HBCU. Why is that?

They did not even consider to ask an "intellectual" from an HBCU. HBCU didn't even "register".

The persons from Academic institutions (leaving out the Schaumberg) didn't ask if any of their peers from HBCUs were being included OR didn't even consider that their peers at HBCU's should be included.

It is possible they asked and were told no.
