  • The Demise of the African American Baseball Player
    LCB_18_2_Art_4_Standen (Do Not Delete) 8/26/2014 6:33 AM THE DEMISE OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN BASEBALL PLAYER by Jeffrey Standen* Recently alarms were raised in the sports world over the revelation that baseball player agent Scott Boras and other American investors were providing large loans to young baseball players in the Dominican Republic. Although this practice does not violate any restrictions imposed by Major League Baseball or the MLB Players Association, many commentators have termed this funding practice of dubious ethical merit and at bottom exploitative. Yet it is difficult to distinguish exploitation from empowerment. Refusing to lend money to young Dominican players reduces the money invested in athletes. The rules of baseball and the requirements of amateurism preclude similar loans to American-born baseball players. Young ballplayers unlucky enough to be born in the United States cannot borrow their training expenses against their future earning potential. The same limitations apply in similar forms to athletes in other sports, yet baseball presents some unique problems. Success at the professional level in baseball involves a great deal of skill, attention to detail, and supervised training over a long period of time. Players from impoverished financial backgrounds, including predominately the African American baseball player, have been priced out of the game. American athletes in sports that, like baseball, require a significant commitment of money over time have not been able to fund their apprenticeships through self-generated lending markets. One notable example of self-generated funding is in the sport of golf. To fund their career goals, American golfers raise money through a combination of debt and equity financing.

Every year, the innovation landscape has grown more and more open, with talent, information, and technical skill flowing across national borders. Until now. In this year’s report, “Will Stronger Borders Weaken Innovation?” (page 54), the tension between national interests (which can be characterized by suspicion of outsiders and protective of their home enterprises) and innovation (which has always been a boundary-crossing phenomenon) takes center stage. As authors Barry Jaruzelski, Volker Staack, and Robert Chwalik put it, “Companies are likely to lose efficiency, create redundancies, and take on higher costs,” espe- cially if they divide their research and development footprints into more autono- mous regional hubs.

  • An Experiment Exploring Race Recognition and Source
    DOES THIS MICROPHONE MAKE ME SOUND WHITE? AN EXPERIMENT EXPLORING RACE RECOGNITION AND SOURCE CREDIBILITY IN RADIO NEWS by TANYA OTT-FULMORE MICHAEL PARROTT, COMMITTEE CHAIR GEORGE DANIELS MARY MEARES A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Journalism and Creative Media in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2020 Copyright Tanya Ott-Fulmore 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Despite efforts to increase the number of minority journalists working in radio, television, newspaper and digital newsrooms across the United States, the percentage of people of color working in newsrooms is only slightly more than half of the percentage of minorities in the overall population. Social Identity Theory holds that an individual’s self-concept is shaped, in part, by their perceived membership in a group. With the U.S. expected to become “minority White” by 2045, minority representation in newsrooms could have significant implications for not only increasing the number of people of color employed newsrooms, but also increasing listeners, viewers, and readers of media organizations as people of color would see themselves — or more accurately, hear themselves — reflected in those organizations. This experiment used an online questionnaire to expose U.S. adults to the voices of professional radio newscasters of various races to determine if the participants could accurately identify the race or ethnicity of the newscaster from a voice recording. The race of the newscaster—White, Black or Hispanic—served as the independent variable and was manipulated to measure perceived source credibility, which served as the dependent variable.

Wright Journal of Hip Hop Studies, Special Issue I Gotta Testify: Kanye West, Hip Hop, and the Church Volume 6, Issue 1, Summer 2019, pp. 106–122 DOI: https://doi.org/10.34718/xz28-g676 __________________________________ Published by VCU Scholars Compass, 2019 1 Journal of Hip Hop Studies, Vol. 6, Iss. 1 [2019], Art. 14 For Colored Girls and Boys Who Have Considered Suicide/ When Prayer and GOOD Music Weren’t Enough Joshua K. Wright Abstract Lauren Chanel Allen, a 22-year-old Christian graduate student at Howard University, struggled with mental illness for years. Like so many blacks, Lauren expected her faith to serve an elixir for her problems, including depression. However, her prayers were not sufficient. When she was unable to find solace in the church, she sought out an alternative source: the music of Kanye West. She shared her story in a 2016 article, “How An Ultralight Beam Helped My Dark Depression,” which she published in Abernathy magazine. Lauren’s story speaks to the disconnect that many millennials have with the church. Nowhere in her article did she use the word – therapy – or mention seeking professional help for her condition. Lauren’s avoidance of medical specialists speaks to broader issues in the African American community related to mental illness. This article addresses the following questions: Why do some blacks place more faith in

    2017 Year in Review Markets Fiddle While Rome Burns David B. Collum Betty R. Miller Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Cornell University Email: [email protected] Twitter: @DavidBCollum Introduction “He is funnier than you are.” ~David Einhorn, Greenlight Capital, on Dave Barry’s Year in Review Every December, I write a survey trying to capture the year’s prevailing themes. I appear to have stiff competition—the likes of Dave Barry on one extreme1 and on the other, Pornhub’s marvelous annual climax that probes deeply personal preferences in the world’s favorite pastime.2 (I know when I’m licked.) My efforts began as a few paragraphs discussing the markets on Doug Noland’s bear chat board and monotonically expanded to a tome covering the orb we call Earth. It posts at Peak Prosperity, reposts at ZeroHedge, and then fans out from there. Bearishness and right-leaning libertarianism shine through as I spelunk the Internet for human folly to couch in snarky prose while trying to avoid the “expensive laugh” (too much setup).3 I rely on quotes to let others do the intellectual heavy lifting. PeakProsperity.com 1 “Consider adding more of your own thinking and judgment to the mix . most folks are familiar with general facts but are unable to process them into a coherent and actionable framework.” ~Tony Deden, founder of Edelweiss Holdings, on his second read through my 2016 Year in Review “Just the facts, ma’am.” ~Joe Friday By October, I have usually accrued 500 single-spaced pages of notes, quotes, and anecdotes.
