The new Renegade University is here, featuring a new website, a new platform, new faculty,

brand new courses, reboots of old courses, our own independent social media platform called the

quad, which is free of sensors from Facebook or Twitter or the government. We also have what we're

calling office hours, where you can talk one-on-one or in groups with our instructors.

We also continue to have our very popular RU live events, which include weekends, seminars, and one-night events all across the country.

To check out the new RU, go to Renegade University.com.

Right now, as part of our grand launch sale, you can get 30 to 40% off new memberships.

So again, to experience the new RU., go to renegadeuniversity.com.

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. I'm interested in people who break the rules of conventional thought and to expand the scope of what is possible to say in our society. I'm interested in people who make me think.

My guest this week is the child of black nationalist radicals in Detroit.

He's a PhD and intellectual and an expert on African American history and culture.

He's a documentary filmmaker.

He's a top flight collector of African diaspora art.

And believe it or not, he's teaching America's children.
