Black Collegian Publications: Employment Opportunities

As our launch date of February first creeps closer, we have debuted another initiative: employment opportunities.

We know the rush at this time is to find summer internships, and with the unemployment rate for Black people hovering around 14 percent, our core market could use some help.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

Email us at theblackcollegian@gmail.com with your resume and work interests attached.

*LIKE OUR FACEBOOK PAGE AS WELL*

From there, we will email you back with a potential placement, method of compensation, list of responsibilities, and preferred work term (one month, two months etc). 

SOME PLACEMENTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR MUCH HIGHER COMPENSATION THAN OTHERS SO PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD IN THE EMAIL. IF YOU HAVE SEVERE FINANCIAL NEED, NOTE THAT IN YOUR EMAIL.

We will do our best to accommodate everyone who applies but resources are limited so some of you may be offered positions with no compensation, and we may stop offering positions at any time. Non-compensated positions will have decreased responsibility but will still offer EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE.

THE NUMBER OF POSITIONS OFFERED DETERMINES ENTIRELY ON THE QUALITY AND NUMBER OF APPLICANTS WE RECEIVE SO PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH US AS WE PROCEED.

theBLACKproject Group is now open on Facebook!!

theblacknationalist:

For centuries, people of African descent have been colonized and controlled by a Eurocentric system based on untruths. We have been deceived and stripped of our majestic identity. We have been misled, leaving us to believe in a hierarchal system in which Black is inferior. We have been miseducated.

It is the mission of the BLACK project to reeducate ALL people by revealing the truth behind both our history and our current social standing. We promote Black Consciousness and Black Nationalism as a means to bring true power into the Black community. But first, we must decolonize our minds. Join us, and seek the truth.

Join the Facebook group here. We’ll keep you updated on what we’re doing, and you’ll be able to interact with everyone!

[signal boost this pleeease!!]

JOIN. JOIN. JOIN.

On the saying “black is beautiful”

ethiopienne:

It’s not just an affirmation of our collective self-esteem as black women.
It’s not an attempt to degrade other peoples.

It is an attack on social standards that do denigrate people—namely, us.

Look around you. Open a magazine. Turn on your TV. What kinds of women are you seeing? What kinds of women are deemed most beautiful? What eye colors? What hairstyles?

Chances are, they’re white. And the token black women you see don’t look too different from them either.

So for us to rebel against a society that tells us we’re “scientifically” the least attractive of all women, that tells us our hair isn’t good enough the way it grows out of our heads, that makes our celebrities look more and more like white women every time we look—-that’s nothing short of revolutionary.

Black thought, anatomy, culture, and people are all beautiful.

Scholarly Attempts to Disassociate Egypt From Africa

In Black Athena Revisited, Kathryn A. Bard gives reason as to why the subject of race might be irrelevant after all: “Ancient Egyptians were Mediterranean peoples, neither Sub-Saharan blacks nor Caucasian whites but peoples whose skin was adapted for life in a tropical desert environment…. Egyptians were the indigenous farmers of the Lower Nile Valley, neither black nor white as races are conceived of today.” The modern ideas about race and the stigma often attached to one race or another simply did not exist in ancient times. The Egyptians may not have even been what we consider today to be “black people.” Furthermore, as Lawrence A. Tritle notes, why should Egypt “stand for the rest of Africa?” He says, “Just because people lived on the same continent as the Greeks and Romans does not mean that they shared in the cultural achievements of either antecedent.”

To All My Followers: A PROJECT BLACK PEOPLE CAN BE PROUD OF

I have started a project called BLACK! that will highlight and bring together the creations of Black identifying college students. The goal is to create a narrative that encompasses all facets of Black college creativity and intellectualism in free-to-access forum. For many of us Black students, we understand how difficult it was or can be to access the creations of fellow students across the country in forum that doesn’t treat them as commodity or rarity: WE CAN CHANGE THAT! As of now, the site is preparing for launch and community outreach to Black communities is being planned, what I need from you all is CONTENT. Anything produced by a Black identifying college student is excellent material for the site; art, music, research, essays etc. My hope is to represent Black populations at all schools across the country by next year and with your help we can. All materials will be credited, all institutions will be represented and anyone that submits has the option to include a short biography about themselves, links to their blogs and other materials. Contact me for involvement in BLACK!, community outreach planning, and publishing (there are plans for a Zine in the works).

SUBMIT. REBLOG. SPREAD THE WORD.
