Abstract: Often in academia African American scholars are the “silent shadow,” a large andtalented pool of people who are often misunderstood, unheard, ignored, and unfelt. These scholars have been nurtured with rigor, fashioned with expertise, anddriven to overcome many methods of attrition. Thus, there is an undying hungerin these individuals to share their vast pool of experiences and wealth of knowledge to learners with an unbridled passion.However, despite often having overcome almost unbelievable odds to attainin the classroom that have often been left by a legacy of injustice and prejudice. It ismy aim in this chapter to expose the outcomes of a “negative mind-thought culture” that can disable and ultimately harm the learning environment. Many African American professors, instructors, and educators experience these seven factors.
