Dr. Watkins is a regular guest on CNN, FOX News, BET, CBS, ESPN, and other national media. He was the source of some controversy with Bill O'Reilly from the O'Reilly Factor, and has been a guest on other Fox Shows such as Hannity & Colmes. He has also publicly disputed Bill Cosby for stating that african-american youth and the hip hop generation are not very productive. Watkins wrote "What if George Bush were a Black Man?" and "Everything you ever wanted to know about college", which he argues is an appeal to the MTV generation to look past 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, TI, Kanye West and others to explore their educational potential. Dr. Boyce is a Finance Professor at Syracuse University and a graduate of The Ohio State University. He recently spoke at The University of Kentucky and demanded that they increase their numbers of black students and faculty. He was also one of the instrumental black leaders behind the scenes during the cases with the Jena 6, Don Imus and Michael Vick. He worked closely with Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson, appearing on the air with them to suggest strategies to get Imus off the air. It was Dr. Watkins' idea to challenge his corporate sponsors that led to Imus' dismissal. He was also outspoken on Barry Bonds' situation and the OJ Simpson trial. Watkins argues that Barry Bonds might be a jerk, but his alleged indiscretion is no worse than the evidence against Lance Armstrong for the use of performance enhancing drugs. He made his comments on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, The Wendy Williams Experience, CNN, FOX, BET, CBS and other networks. Your Black World is the top black news and commentary site in America.

Jul 15, 2008 - Jesse Lee Peterson is very stupid, Juan Williams can get slapped in the face. Jesse Jackson, I still have respect for, and I understood where he was coming from, hoax or not, I respect Obama, and the Homie Al sharpton. The Media has made alot of blacks DISLIKE Jesse Jackson, Al and other leaders from the civil rights movement. I'm more critical with people I LOVE the most. Thanks for your perspective.

Jul 15, 2008 - Great Video, Dr. Boyce. Watching this reminded me of one of Tavis Smiley's commentaries he did on the Tom Joyner Show when he asked Black Americans not to, "fall inlove with Barack Obama." As you know, he received A LOT of criticism for his views. I'm now beginning to wonder, given your commentary, and given all the back peddling that Obama has been doing lately, if Tavis was actually right. Have we been side tracked by the possibility of the first Black president? Just a thought...

Jul 15, 2008 - That was deep.
IG2HI Says:
Jul 15, 2008 - That was something for me to grow on.
IG2HI Says:
Jul 15, 2008 - Tim Russert died of a natural cause. That has got to be the most ignorant thing I've ever heard.
IG2HI Says:
Jul 15, 2008 - Sadly both Juan Williams and Jesse Lee Peterson are playing it safe to go along to get along ratehr than shaping minds. Don't hate on Williams and Patterson; pity them. Good quote by Dr. Watkins on leadership. If you ask for nothing, you get nothing. As for Rev. Jesse Jackson, he is quickly losing his relavance. The "greatest bamboozlement" comment is Classic.

Jul 16, 2008 - good to see its people with common sense still walking around. i too want to support barack just because im a black man. the problem is when i look at his voting record and the alliances he has in his camp, i have major doubts about trusting him. The candidate who would affect the economy(and the middle class/lower class black folk) positively is Ron Paul(ran as republican because he didnt believe you can win running third party). i want to vote for Obama but i cant.

Jul 17, 2008 - Come on now, dumbest person on TV? We all know that's Bill O'Riley.

Jul 19, 2008 - Correction sir you are the dumbest person on television. But wait, you don't host a show like Bill O'Riley dose. Your on the INTERNET. I wrote you a email a few weeks ago about how LESS THAN 20% OF WHITES HAD SLAVE DUNING THE CIVIL WAR. Other things as well. Your response was "Is O'Riley still talking about me" You just love shouldering the blame on other people don't you, I will post my email that I sent you. 01010110010011110101010001000101010011010100001101000011010000010100100101001110

Jul 19, 2008 - Why are you so mad? I don't understand it. I've been on your web site and listened to you speak. It is my option that you are a raciest like rev. Wright you blame others for the problems your people have had in the past. Remember one thing blacks were sold and kidnaped by other blacks to be sent to the US. To work as slaves. Yet less than 20% of whites had slaves. But you still blame whites for your problems. The Republican and Lincoln fought to end universal male suffrage durning the civil war.
HoldenCaulfield420 Says:
Jul 19, 2008 - They fought and won your freedom. You were giving the right to vote and to be heard from. Black men had the right to vote before white women (all women). After Blacks had their freedom why did it take 70+ yrs. for your voice to be heard? In the past 30 yrs. you have been blaming the white man for your problems. You don't want to take responabilaty for your self. You want to shoulder the blame on someone else. Thats wrong
HoldenCaulfield420 Says:
Jul 19, 2008 - Stand up for your self take responabilaty for your actions stop blaming others hold you head up high and be PROUD OF YOUR SELF AND YOUR PEOPLE. Embrace this country don't exploit it. Dr. Watkins stop blaming others stop the hate speeches and lay off Bill O'Reilly. You are not helping the problem by yelling raciest comets. Like Bill said if I was a white teacher who belonged to the KKK who had a web site like you they would shut me down. I hope this email will help you open your eyes.

Jul 20, 2008 - the republican fought, what do you mean by that?
Lungyao1 Says:
Jul 21, 2008 - Your stupid. You must think slavery in the US was a walk in the park. lol Ignorance.....
HoldenCaulfield420 Says:
Jul 21, 2008 - Unfortunately, I had to take African American history to graduate. Everything I said is true so how am I stupid. I'm quoting history how can you debate the facts. I'm not saying slavery was easy. Finish everything I posted. 100 years ago my people where the working people and they held their heads up high and worked their way out. 0101011001101111011101000110010100100000010011010110001101000011011000010110100101101110
