There is a correction that needs to be made in the spelling of Dr. Nkrumah's name, the first President of Ghana.

The correct spelling of his name is: Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Please make this notation. Thank you.

This article is unintentionally hilarious. Professor Hayes is the definition of the angry, obsolete '60s radical. Is this what the "Africana Studies" department is about? The transparent advocacy of tired and outmoded leftist thought? The transformation of the BSU into a breeding ground for militants, instead of a social club? The promotion of a radical political agenda in the guise of "diversity" is a shameful misuse of time and tuition dollars. The university and its trustees should make a greater effort to supervise where its money is going.

How to Build Muscle

I had a white male teacher who looked at me and pointed at me and said, 'You're a Negro, you have no history,'" Hayes said. "That was humiliating. But over the years that was quite angering because his attempt was to humiliate me, to tell me that black people had no history. And if I knew how to build muscle then I'd be right there ready.

"...over the years that was quite angering because his attempt was to humiliate me, to tell me that black people had no history." This is outrageous and wrong, as a matter of fact the human race originates from Africa, so from an anthropological standpoint, that is so inaccurate.
