I have an urgent announcement to make. This Tuesday, November 3rd, is the beginning of our four-part

live webinar called Talkin' Shit, the History of African-American Culture, co-taught by me and

Kamasi Hill, who has made a very notable appearance on unregistered, and who also holds a PhD in African-American

religion and culture. What we're going to do over four weeks, four Tuesdays in November,

is discuss African-American history from completely different angles than you'll find in regular

colleges. We will discuss taboo subjects like why slaves invented a culture that was envied and emulated

by whites.

Why did abolitionists seek not only the end of slavery, but the end of black culture?

Why was Martin Luther King puritanical and talk to black people the way that

the Ku Klux Klan might? Go to Renegade University.com, go to the video courses section,

and sign up for this amazing webinar. I hope to see you soon.

This is the Unregistered Podcast, and I'm Thaddeus Russell.

This is a show about ideas, people, and behaviors that are considered inappropriate,

out of bounds, or beyond the pale.

The things you're not supposed to talk about if you're a schoolteacher, a college professor,

a businessman, a politician, a parent, a neighbor, or even a podcast host.

These are the things you're not supposed to say or even think if you're a good liberal,

a good conservative, or a good citizen. Each week, I'll interview a person who has something bad to say. They might be a journalist

or a professor. They might be a porn star or a drug dealer. They might just be an ordinary person

with an ordinary job who doesn't care about the rules

of polite society.

I'm not interested in breaking the rules just to be a troublemaker.
