The Black lecture hustle is nothing new
- Thread starter mamba
- Start date
I don't have a problem with lectures here and there.
It becomes a problem when it's clearly the main source of income for some of these people.
And when no actions or programs ever result from the recurring lectures.
At that point, they simply become feel-good sessions. And Black people already get enough of that with church on Sundays.
The conscious community cannot criticize our Christian brethren for sitting in churches on Sundays for the word when the conscious community does the same thing with these lectures!
Conscious community ridicules our Christian brethren for fattening the pockets of these preachers and allowing them to prey on the women.
Meanwhile, the conscious community is fattening the pockets of permanent lecturers with no plans or programs as they prey on the women!

it really has been poppin for the past 3-5 years...dunno how lucrative it has been for most folks, but saturated nonetheless. Look on any event calendar for a sizable city, you'll see double digit "lectures" "chats" "group coaching sessions" listed... black women are the ones trying to milk it the most.
Do you know how many, "Black Girl Magic" sessions I've seen pop up on event calendars? ...
Getcha paper, sweetheart. Not mad at all.
Black Southern Baptists have been on that wave tho. there's a whole chitlin circuit for Black Southern Baptist speakers and musicians. Been that way for 60-70 years.

Hey regardless of their hustle if they are dropping knowledge their dropping knowledge. All that really matters.

Just dropping knowledge is not enough.
Like I said, this hustle is not new.
People dropped all kinds of knowledge at the peak of the Afrocentric/Black Nationalist movement. Nothing much resulted from it.
There has to be a plan of action associated with these lectures. Otherwise, they simply become feel-good sessions.

Do you feel this way about people like Khalid Muhammad, Amos Wilson, and John Henrik Clarke? Or, who are you referring to specifically?
Khalid Muhammad led an organization. Agree or disagree with their rhetoric and tactics, there was an organizational infrastructure behind him.
Amos Wilson left us Blueprint for Black Power, which was and remains a plan of action. Plus, he owned and operated businesses in the NY area that employed his people.
John Henrik Clarke was en elder who served as one of Malcolm X's sounding boards, was cool with Kwame Nkrumah, etc. He'd put in the work.
I'm talking about some of those other dudes such as Steve Cokely, for example, who simply lectured and left nothing for the people to build on.
He is one of many dudes from that period that just fed knowledge with no program or plan of action.

Its hard leaving thecoli but I gotta find a way...
Mike brown became popular in social media not the news who kept it low.
pro blackness or whatever you feel is a bustle. kinda falls under that same umbrella.
more black voices the better even though it's getting a little long in the tooth.
