Black males and acting White accusations: A real or concocted threat to achievement?
Date: April 11, 2013
Time: 12 p.m.
Location: G-23 Aderhold Hall
Researchers and practitioners suggest that Black students who accuse high achieving Black males of acting White is a form of Black on Black negative peer pressure and bullying. Many argue that acting White accusations are linked to Black males’ low academic performance and low enrollment in rigorous advanced classes. This session will examine the meaning of the acting White phenomenon, its social and psychological infl uence on Black males, and its real and perceived impact on Black males’ underachievement and under-represented in advanced educational programs.
