America Unhinged: Are We in Love with Violence?

[@edithraw8399]

"The African presence in america is really the only thing that has given america a little piece of Humanity." "To teach the world how to be Human." "Character over power." Thank you. Infinite thanks & love, Dr. Black & Karen.

[@kisslena]

When we care for ourselves we also care for them. Those white antebellum babies drank breast milk from a black woman.

[@brandonburns5365]

Why ain't they doing it in Africa?

[@carolynfrink5569]

To hear Dr. Black speak on the importance of the African presence in America makes my heart full. Ase

[@TheBulletzgottishow20]

America is getting darker and darker day by day people Losing there minds people aren’t happy no more everybody is on edge it’s sad man

[@reneegraham2201]

Seems that way

[@gigiinspired780]

Truth

[@kisslena]

It certainly feels that way. But I still have hope that when more people see how their complacency got us here, they will try to course correct. I just hope that happens before it too late.

[@Hersheydimples]

Yup everybody is broke, and broken.

[@noble604]

(IMO) it’s a “crisis” only when whìte people experience ior are impacted. Many of these things America is going through, Błack people BEEN going through forever just as a function of being Błack in America but it wasn’t a “crisis” then. For Błack people, it was downplayed and it was even our fault, as in, “if Błack people ‘tried harder,’ you’d get ahead because we all know America is The Land of Opportunity and you can have and achieve anything you set your mind to do in America.”) Well,...... now that whìte people in America are not getting ahead and even falling backwards despite trying hard, it’s a full blown American crisis.

[@reneegraham2201]

Wow the fruit of violence wears down the human soul. Absolutely then it seems as you don’t care. Thank you Dr black as usual. Karen thank you for the excellent work that you do, never stop doing you.

[@tonyajohnson3450]

I love an action book or movie, but not in my life, Dr. Black😂

[@reneegraham2201]

Exactly

[@JasonBeiler]

Sorry, that's not how it works sweetie

[@noble604]

American life for many Błack people has been lived in VERY physically violent surroundings for a very long time with gūn violence outside, police brutality always threatening all around, DV inside but all of that was relegated to “their community.” When you łook back at the CRAZY crack era of the 1980s and 90s and what that did to Błack families then (and how some of those then are the parents of what we’re seeing now in the young people today running amok, raised with little family foundation) With all that that did to Błack America - and to America in general - it’s kind of wild that America is all up in arms about “violence in America” now.

[@ralphjackson8295]

I literally just told my friend yesterday, "If my family or friends aren't involved, I don't care." Why should I care and fight and scream from the rooftops about gun safety and regulations to save their childrens lives if they won't do it for their own? I have a feeling, for the next four years, I'm going to continue not giving a F about a lot of stuff.

[@millardjohnson657]

Love you Prof. Hunter and you are not an entertainer; I need what you do but don't burn out. Rest a while.❤️🌷

[@KarenHunterShow]

taking off two weeks for the holidays. Thank you for caring.

[@EllisDel-y8g]

this conversation is so wild to me. Today i had an appointment with my wonderful black psychiatrist in philadelphia. To echo what doctor black is saying , she said to me, that the only group of people on earth that colonize other people because they were lacking are europeans. when asian, african and the americans indengious people colonize other lands/people they didnt need to take anything but rather they added to their societies. Its wild because im starting to see through dr blacks anaylsis this point. we would feed the baby. its just how our humanity functions.

"Character over power"! Profound statement.

That’s American culture, better believe it

[@pamparker4047]

Totally agree 👍

[@qjtvaddict]

Decline is wild

[@shamarone]

yup, as we've been told, what goes UP must come DOWN. so all Civilizations have a beginning, a rise, and then a fall where for one reason or another they COLLAPSE INTO THE DUST. to this end America's fall will be the result of NUMEROUS reasons intersecting and making the other WORSE than it would normally be if it were all by itself.

[@oliverwade666]

Thank you… a lot of us was thinking this for the longest time… they went from being dumb to being the smartest-greatest minds… the gall of these man-kind

Rest in power to your Pops. 💜 RQQ to the Bruhz!!

[@rnsmith2003]

Yes Sir! Yes Ma’am! 😊❤️

[@makeitmakesense2616]

Respectfully, this is something I've always found confusing that nobody in black spaces ever mentions. After Sandy Hook it became abundantly clear to me that Whyte people do not care about their own babies, so how dare I demand them care about my black queer self I see how they treat their own babies. We see over and over again. Thoughts and prayers. So my question is how do we move in a space with people who have no empathy for their own children?

[@shamarone]

sadly we're now in the 25th Anniversary year of Columbine High. for those tracking the History, the date of this tragedy that kicked off the current "Dark Era" was April 20, 1999.

[@davidval7188]

There was a time where there was a line between reality and fantasy for most people when dealing with the subject to violence; but I believe that line is disappearing for more and more people. So maybe the violence is harder to ignore.

[@lorinichols9996]

Just as an FYI, since your intro is an ad for your podcast, I almost made the mistake of thinking it was a video version of the podcast, which I would rather listen to then see on KZbin, so I left for a minute until I looked twice. Maybe put it at the end or in the middle?

[@DRGeorgiaYoungbloodBey]

But also some forgotten to do for self and family being tired every day.😊

[@rodb66]

Hello Professor Hunter and commenters

[@timothygibbs7351]

Yes, I believe we are getting closer to something good or bad.

[@PeteDavis-f6y]

The words that was spoke on the show today hit so hard it was like bars from a Nas song!! When he spoke of what black folks did for humanity in America was powerful! And the biggest shout out to Aunt Karen's dad, that touched me so deep with the anniversary of my father's death is approaching I needed this.... thank you

[@anthonygriffin1958]

Karen Hunter, I have to admit we're living in the last days with so much turmoil going on a global scale. 🌎

[@engineringvarious9611]

So the slavery abolition act of 1833 which was the first time in human history a civilization passed a law banning slavery and it occurred in Great Britain while there are still places on the planet that have slaves. The Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron played a key role in stopping the Arab slave trade by capturing ships and freeing enslaved Africans as well.

[@montezdiamond7065]

We are hella desensitized to violence. Cartoons, lullabies, video games, domestic violence, and the amalgam of so much more.

[@afuamckinney5748]

We all know that we can be full people if just that when looks at "us" especially Black women we can't be fully human .

[@otisthomas9976]

We just need to understand the phrase 'ACCEPTABLE LOSSES' even the higher power you believe will allow you to perish

The resurrection will manifest through Afrikans on the continent and the diaspora. Afrikans will save the world.

[@kelthe8thman661]

We're living in the last days and times. The scriptures say..nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom: there shall be famines.plagues, and earthquakes.....all these are the BEGINNING of sorrows.. (Paraphrased) We here folks...

[@gigiinspired780]

🙏🏽 I think so too

[@chocobabyflakes3215]

But all of those things have been true since the beginning soooo. . . 🤷🏾‍♀️ What do you actually plan to DO about it?

[@kelthe8thman661]

@chocobabyflakes3215 If those things have been true since the beginning then why point it out as a barometer for the times we live in? I don't think we have the data to prove these concurrent events have been happening since the beginning. I believe the scripture is talking about the frequency and how concurrent these events are coming together. There are many, many examples from just the past four years alone. What am I going to do about it? Stay connected to the vine, Yeshua, do my part in making where I live a better place according to Kingdom principles and fear not for these things must come to past.

[@shamarone]

welcome to the deleterious effects of LATE STAGE CAPITALISM. at only 500 years young, the US as a Nation is really still just an immature teenager in the larger context of World History where many Civilizations existed for more than a Millenia. for comparison to America, Chinese culture is a whopping 5,000 years old.

[@BLF-x6fAllpplrn]

Wow! This is an easy one for the thumbnail. We have always lived in the dark ages by Western meaning. For some, it's mind over matter. You live and thrive in the light of power, you may have a chance in which you don't mind and the material needs that will make you forget the true darkness only matters.

[@track1949]

Crime is down... Oy...

[@michealbarnes1447]

It's pretty much the main reason trump has the support he does because there are people who thrive on mayhem chaos and drama. A lot of people nowadays are not attracted to the good guy's way of life simply because it's boring.

[@gigiinspired780]

God is a God of order no chaos. 🙏🏽

[@JCDhalia]

In history there is reference to the dark ages. Which is very much a European concept.

[@karenloveland1428]

I had difficulty with Karen Hunter on SIrius, but I love and appreciate her in this format. I’ve been trying to understand the difference. Maybe because she’s speaking with intelligent individuals, not trolls trying to discredit her perspective. Any thoughts from other viewers?

2 Timothy 3: 3-5 Prophesied in the last days of our wicked system, violence would be out of control. Tik Tok ... Revelations is coming 🙏🏾

[@michaeldunigan1067]

Since the cross we have been in the age of reconciliation. Based on Christ and Him crucified. But we have entered a new age. The age of restoration. Based on the revelation of THE RISEN LORD. The resurrection. We are temporarily experiencing a tough time. A time when we are shifting gears. But soon we will accelerate.

[@StoneageT]

[@pele914]

Not at all coincidental or ironic that; contact with Africa sparked BOTH the beginning of "civilization" (Kemet culturally uplifting the Greeks sparking Europe's 'classical' period) AND the beginning of the Renaissance (finding the city of Timbuktu and it's Great Library)...inversely, prolonged time-frames without non-African influences align with great advances in African cultures.

The enlightenment was not from the 14th century to 18th century. The enlightenment look this up was from 17th to 18th century and was a phase in a progressive development which began in antiquity.

They were talking about the enlightenment in the video. The guy said it was from the 14th to the 18th but it simply wasn’t.

If you can read 2 Timothy chapter 3 you will see everything that describes all people, and keep this in mind God's not partial it's amazing how we've forgot about the scriptures.
