Thank you for making this available for those of us who couldn’t live stream .

As Alabama, where I live, just passed a severe “anti DEI” k-public university/college feeling pretty frustrated but staying in the game/resistance. Good opening remarks from Atty. Kimberlé.

Viewing from the SF Bay Area. I’m feeling in between, somewhat weary and scared for our country especially for Black folks.

Why are y'all taking up another movement that was giving to us - woke? Can't you see they continuously finesse the black struggle in America to tie their agenda to it to ride on? Wait a minute, maybe y'all do know this and are complicit in this highjacking🤔🙄

It sometimes looks cliches and elites only bougie.

Thank you for sharing this. I don't think people realize all of what is happening. We need to cast the net deeper and wider with an facts sheets to cast our narrative. Keep it out in front. Most of all 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

If Black writers only write about the Black experience, aren't they by default limiting their audience? Who is this perception I'm getting of a grievance being expressed here really directed at? Is it Black people or the general public? If it is Black people who are not being supportive, then I think why they are not, should be where the focus is - not on books being banned. That seems to be on the suffice unconstitutional to me, but it seems that books that are deemed to create disruption in schools, can be banned by local jurisdictions. The book cannot be banned from the general public in cases like this. I think based on that the argument itself is valid, but it does not stop the problem of whether a local jurisdiction will try to arbitrarily ban books based on their interpretation of what constitutes disruption. It then comes down to a question of power and how important it is to both sides, as to whether or how far in the legal process they are willing to go to get a ruling in their favor. If Black people don't value history/our story, to fight for its existence in schools will not be of much benefit. Most people don't value history, so it would not benefit other people much either. We have more immediate/pressing internal problems to deal with.

This isn't the 1940s and this battle for equal rights and equal opportunities was already fought in the 1960s. If corporations are not following the law and discriminating in employment, opportunities, promotions, pay and responsibility, then they need to be sued. And Africans have to WANT to tell their own stories and relish their own identity and culture instead of simply trying to be included in other peoples history and culture as that is an insult to that history.

I pose the question of whether woke-ism is really a condition of being conscious, but instead one of being intoxicated. Is the message of wokeness really a clear and coherent one? Why do "woke" activist act as if all or even most Black people agree with their rhetoric and tactics? Hip-Hop says it is a culture, but look at it. It has no governance structure - no cohesion, hence there is the abundance of negativity in it. While celebrating its 50th anniversary, it proclaimed it "changed the world", when it did not even change the communities and those like them, that it came out of. This is us gaslighting ourselves. We spend so much time telling each other what we all already know about the forces in opposition to us, while being unwilling to face and correct the internal problems that exist among us. What gains have been gotten from all these new rhetorical terms and woke activism for those among us who need it most? Jessie Jackson said decades ago - "what does it matter that the doors of opportunity have been opened to you, if you are too drunk to stagger through them". This was probably around the height of the heroin epidemic in the 70's, Black people continued to take and sell deadly and debilitating drugs to each other and in a violent manner. It continues to this day - this loss and disruption of so many lives and the physical and social destruction of so many of our communities. How much attention does BLM - the saying of it and the organization - give to this area of loss? Some woke Black intellectuals and activists say "Black on Black crime is not a thing", because people are likely to kill people they live near. This is a ridiculous consideration - this taking the wrong kind of "proximity" into consideration. The kind of proximity that must be considered is the closeness of the relationship between the victim and perpetrator, not the physical closeness of the two. That is why the words suicide and fratricide exist. They are greater wrongs/harms, than is general homicide. Black people once inherently understood this or at least it seemed. No one saw us saying we're headed for self-destruction and having a campaign against violence and creating slogan to call us out on our self-destructive and self-defeating acts as "practicing "respectability politics" and "seeing ourselves through the White gaze", as woke Black intellectuals speak of. They are the contradictory ones. They speak of pathology and associate it with Black people. They started that public conversation. That word has never been a part of the masses of Black people's discussion of the violence among us. They say just the words 'Black on Black crime' suggest pathology. Well if they believe that, what do they think their public use of the word pathology does? They speak of racism in all its forms, otherwise known as White supremacy, systemic and structural racism, yet the only way they are systemic and structural in response, is in the new terms they come up with, for existing ideas and their bad messaging. The idealism they preach is hollow, because it is only directed at the government. They expect little to next to nothing from the masses of Black people. What has been the response from the younger generations to all the idealism that is preach by activists? Anti-social behavior has become more organized, deadly, and disruptive. How far back does 'wilding' go? What do we do in face of significant numbers of us, just not trying to hear any positive message? If all that is desired from government was given, how long would it takes for the effects of it to become manifest in the people, who need it most, in the present environment that is society? We are trying to reinvent the wheel. We ask people to be mentors to young people, when we really are asking them to be surrogate parents. What good does it do to make sure books are not banned, when so many of our children don't learn to read? Instead of calling for the refunding of schools, so all the courses that have been removed from schools over the decades can be restored, they call for the defunding and abolishment of police and prisons. Again, how have so many who would benefit the most responded to that? It seems many of us are doing all they can to make sure there is a greater need for police and prisons. Some future generation, will have to break this cycle, and live down the mess we have passed onto them. History will not speak kindly to us, of our history since the days of the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements, at least. We don't seem to take must seriously. As much as we talk of trauma - constant/continuous real-time trauma, and that which many believe is passed down through genes, we at the same time entertain ourselves with entertainment that depict traumatic acts, in graphic detail. We have been subjecting ourselves to a self-inflicted backlash, and don't seem to understand why we hurt so bad. Much of what we complain about from racism, a similar harm or wrong we commit on ourselves, or engage in contradictions, we refuse to acknowledge. We have little to no power to force others to do anything, yet we spend most of our time, focus, and energy on that part of our problem, while we deny how we make our situation worse, and do nothing about that which we can control. From being down for the cause, right-on, conscious, keeping it real/for real, to 100, and woke, it all has been a joke, or a story that we don't get the moral of. This is my perspective, I leave it as a record for future generations to consider, even if it is ignored today. Critical thinking and honesty are more important that is CRT - its original and new meaning. This is true for any time.

Thank you for putting together this powerhouse of a show.

Thank you Beautiful ❤️

I can't wait to watch the series. This was so inspiring.

#freeourbooks Here in Missouri we have candidates for statewide office going beyond banning books...promoting burning books. While we have to uplift the work, we have to realize that the radical fascists are moving beyond mere bans to to distruction.

Hi im very sure that extortion child molestation theft kidnapping associated with kids death its not a movie porn with joe dan ringo max antris

Oh... They got a headstart, but took themselves out of creating a better future by doing so much harm just to gain small advantages. They've focused too much on downward spirals. African nationals and African-Americans specifically are going to produce amazing spiritual movements even before we collaborate physically. Highspeed rail connectivity will have alot to do with the most and inevitable amazing movement to recup our true wealth.

Sad, but soooo true

Speechless....😮

Then why were black people better off in 1964 on every measurable metric than they are today?.....I will tell you why.....trusting democrats

Deuteronomy 28:1-68 KJV Moses warned you but you refused to harken 😭😭😭 Affirmative action is NOT THE SOLUTION ‼️KEEPING GOD'S LAWS/COMMANDMENTS WILL GET YOU OUT OF THIS BONDAGE FOREVER AND YOU'LL GET BACK THE RULERSHIP OF THE WORLD ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️

Esau/Edomites /white people are the devil 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿

Only God knows the end of this discrimination

It is so painful to watch but that is what has been happening.

This young woman is professor W.Calathes daughter ❤️

This is exactly how the world works

this is heartbreaking

I find it funny how people who said "Black Lives Matter doesn't mean black lives matter" a year ago were doxxed and called racist and got their asses chewed off for pointing out the hypocrisy and the ineffectiveness of virtue signaling and patting each other on the back to fee like a fam. And now ... here we are ... suddenly realizing that the progressives who are touting diversity and saying Black Lives Matter are wolves, and don't believe black lives matter (black healing and black justice). DUH.

Why are the comments all turned off on this channel. Can this channel not withstand the scrutiny of open discussion?

Registered but can’t access?

Could you do another Sumer camp after COVID-19? I would love it. We will need a camp.

Y’all are so important as an organization. #SayHerName #AAPF

Someone please ask Joe Biden and Kamala Harris do they plan to attack, imprison and "railroad" black males? They both have track records for doing so. Their attacks on the cisgender black males..

Great channel. You deserve more views! Oh by the way, have a look at smzeus . c o m. It’s the fastest way to grow your KZbin channel!!!

Bless you all for this conversation. Got me wishing I persisted in getting my JD 😭

EXCELLENT. THANK YOU, MY SISTERS.

SO INSPIRING. EVERYONE SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO WATCH THIS. BLACK WOMEN, BLACK POWER, BLACK EMBRACE.

all those black woman in high possitions how is it possible in racist system? or they pupets for the democrats?

Thank you for this series!

I love this series

MY DAUGHTER DIED FROM DEPO LETS TALK

Complaining about Medicaid🤨...having free health insurance that covers %100 of your medical costs..... yeah but ur choices are somewhat limited. When u don’t have money your choices are limited...it’s the same rule for everyone

Ok so when I was 17.....(ok yes proceed).....I was experiencing.....(yes yes ok🧐).......my second pregnancy.......(😳😳😳😳😧😧😧😧😧😧) .......I’m sorry it’s just the best intro I’ve ever heard 🤷🏼‍♂️

Last comment ...the women they are talking about...a large percentage of them, black Latina, legal illegal immigrants...their health care is subsidized or outright paid for by white taxpayers....Goodbye

What is that poor uncomfortable white girl doing off in the corner???.....what kind of self hatred to u need to embody to sit and listen to this nonsense...”y’all need to stop being so racist”.......get out of there and let them solve their own problems

Racism...how about single motherhood... And ...”...you should be able to decide when ur going to have a baby....” ? At least half of black fetuses in America never see the light of day because they are aborted...that’s ALOT of unintended pregnancies The stress of fatherless families? None of this matters but, Racism....

This video should be informative...but not for the obvious reason that actual HELPFUL INFORMATION is being presented straight forward ...no, it must be discerned through the bad examples given in story after sad story....catholic institutions need to obviously contact black women en mass and notify them of their policies.....maybe having health insurance, not getting pregnant when u don’t intend to have the child, and researching the kind of care you want to receive when you DO need it has something to do with all these misunderstandings

Ethical religious directives are just THAT.....policies based on the religious belief that life is sacred....has nothing to do with white male bishops .... And the first story was a real eye opener....too bad it wasn’t enlightening for the members of the panel...a teen mother on her 2nd pregnancy...married or not she was a child herself ....with NO knowledge of the policies practiced in a hospital where her ...child would be born...personal decisions and responsibility carry no weight so far in this discussion ...things just happen to people

So helpful!

Such a powerful message to us to all - to keep us on track to understand we cannot stand still but to keep pushing, being loud and forceful in our demands for justice and peace.
