How Do We Create Black Male Humanity? An Update on Ralph Yarl. Karen Hunter & Dr. Daniel Black.

[@fawaka5006]

Thank you for this conversation! This was enlightening! Blessings to you all!

Oceans of blessings be upon him.

Teach them! That part! Negotiating is a skill that transcends gender.

[@Own.lee.who.men.516]

In my opinion, the only people who can "...reshape the image of what it means simply to be a Black male in this country" are Black men. We act like we don't even love ourselves. We have major beef with each other just for looking at each other: "what you lookin' at!? Nah...what you lookin' at!?" We treat each other like ish and then expect other people to love and respect us, when we don't even love and respect ourselves. We glamorize and applaud malevolent behavior. We need to do better and take accountability for the part we've played in our own demise. Whyte folks are not gonna change. Nothing is gonna change for us unless WE change it. WE must be proactive.Thank God for keeping that young man Ralph Yarl and the miracle happened that day. I pray for continued healing of his mental and physical health 🙏🏾💐

Homophobia is moral robbery and religiously as well as culturally sanctified justification to self hatred...I am still unpacking this in my own soul...This clip here...Ooooweee!! Thank you two for having this conversation.

Teach the children ALL THE WORDS!!! ❤🎉

[@KUqdah]

I told my sons beginning in their middle school years and still to this day, that they already had 2 strikes against them: they're African descendants and they're male. I'd further break it down the way Dr. Brown so brilliantly spoke upon. To this day, they continue to tell me how grateful they are for me talking to them in that fashion, as it has helped them to navigate this racist country, thus avoiding or knowing how to negotiate their path.... Thank you Professor Hunter and Dr. Brown....eye opening conversation....😊

Professor Karen I love Dr. Daniel Black. I need both my masculine energy and my Feminine energy to align. No Human should be out of balance. We as women who harness our masculine side are told that is un ladylike, men can't catch a break because they are called sissy if they create a space for their feminine side.

[@ebonee75]

I have been meditating on sentiments expressed by Dr. Black on an education podcast with Dr. Carr (in which he said something to the effect of ) black people need to reimagine our lives beyond surviving. For myself and my beloveds (my children), these words have helped me consider living our lives outside of the States somewhere where lethal racial terrorism isn’t a daily threat .❤️🙏🏾

Omg this has stood me straight up. The only thing in our community if a black boy is vulnerable or sensitive he is gay, soft, and a punk. Thank GOD for Dr. Black. This is consciousness GOLD

[@mcclendonreport]

We are a target. I've known this since I was a boy. We are feared and hated.

[@mcclendonreport]

What I learned early in my life is that when a melanemic woman is alone in an elevator and clutches her purse at the sight of a Black man or boy in said elevator, all that woman need do when the elevator door opens to the next floor is to scream (or better yet, cry) and that will ruin the life or occasion the demise of that Black male. The fear is THAT real and that dangerous.

One we don't have enough Black men teaching in our schools..to model for black boys..I used to go South doing the summer when I was a kid..I still to this day never forgot the gentleness of Black men & boys( my cousins & uncles) is it because of nature that they are surrounded by..??..Many of us have gotten away from nature & her healing energies..that calm the mind & renews the Spirit...When I went South I loved to take off my shoes & run around barefoot my feet touching the ground & grass felt so grounding .being around the animals on my Grandparents farm..what the saying Mother Nature Soothes The Savage Beast...We need to bring more nature in our lives Urban gardening I see is growing in large cities where young people get a chance to put their hands in the black earth ..learn about different plants & to learn how to grow food..We've gotten so faraway from these skills..& the way things are shaping up ..these skills might become a necessity for survival...!!

[@musclehead8649]

Imagine how hateful and devilish you have to be to shoot a 16 year old in a split second of seeing him just because he's black and then the neighbors show him no humanity,In a country that calls it's self a Christian nation. The hateful sickness and cancer in this country is at level 5. Unfortunately there's no cure other than a rebuild from scratch.. I pray for this young man and his family. I wonder if the vice president hears or sees these stories? She did say with her whole chest that AMERIKKKA is not a racist country. What AMERIKKKA is she living in?

[@MsArnold804]

Dr. Black is an amazing human and author! Love him!

[@kissoflove14]

I understand we are living in Babylon. My question is what happens when the black boy has the negotiations skills and still gets killed? The onus SHOULD NOT be on us to "show" our humanity in order to prevent from being killed. It's THEIR PROBLEM. THEY ARE INHUMANE. Now, how do we fix THAT?

Hotep Mama Karen Am not surprised our young men are the victims of racial warfare. Am so glad that Brother Ralph Yari is still alive. America is a ruthless nation that has no remorse when it commits evil, especially against Africans unjustly.

[@mygorgeous1of2]

Professor Hunter, thank you so much for bringing on Dr. Black! It's always a treat to see him...and you😁! Some of us do "get it" Dr. Black! It is trying to teach the Black boy the negotiating skills that he'll need in America, when he is often punished at an early age for doing so! We will keep trying though ✊🏽.

[@bperry1629]

So glad Karen said that assignment of gender to negotiation and communication tools is incorrect. We all need to learn how to express ourselves in a healthy way. It's not a feminine quality. It's a human quality

[@Nisa1971]

[@chandraboone3741]

“We’ve been waiting on white people to agree”- indeed! WEB DuBois’s warning when he spoke with those teachers in Whither To and Why prior to school integration wasn’t heeded as it should have been.

[@maybelater93]

My God! This clip was full of jewels and life-saving principles. Where is the rest of this conversation?

[@SuperKenndog]

We need to take the best practices of our ancestors moving forward. During Jim Crow, Black owned businesses were the rule, not the exception, because we realized we were all we got. Integration made us lazy and thinking that because we can walk into any business and not be openly called the n-word, we had “arrived”. Also, when a white person does something racist, let’s quit with the, “I can’t believe…” response. They’ve shown us who they are and will continue to be. Can’t change them, nor should we want to. We have to control our own narrative.

[@tmarsh4478]

Respectfully, I am often taken aback when I hear people saying that “we” need to adjust our behavior for people to see us. We don’t have to create anything. All we have to do is not tolerate under any circumstance when folks do not treat us humanely.

[@KarenHunterShow]

this has ZERO to do with 'them." WE must get back to community and loving ourselves and one another. And if you're being honest from the content we support (music, etc.) to the behaviors we celebrate in our community, we don't love each other enough. We just don't. And YES, THEY are problematic. But IDGAF about them...once we get it together, it's a wrap. We set the world right.

[@tmarsh4478]

@@KarenHunterShow I cannot argue with your point. I just think its out of context in a discussion about a black boy being shot by a white person for no reason other than bigotry. The two discussions when had at the same time, comes across at bit (at least to me) as blaming the victim (we need to do more so folk can respect us). That said, I don’t disagree that our kitchen is in desperate need of a clean up.

[@ReinventingEnergyAndLove]

​@@KarenHunterShow I totally agree with every word you've wrote Dr. Hunter, we must Reinvent our Energy And Love.... Dr. Black is definitely on the road to the promise land. ✊🏿 Our humanity is for us to claim and embrace. It's not about making white folks comfortable. It's about us being safe and comfortable in our own spaces, and every space that humanity exist is ours. Once we make that clear and non-negotiable for us, none will impede on it with such carelessness. We need to have fubu conversations in our communities. White folks can't take what we ain't willing to give!✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

[@kesteedavis1386]

Of course this is hurtful. We had four centuries of observation of what people who participate in the stupidity of the spell of race think and do. We know oppressors organized the founding and direction of the country. It is not the nature of an oppressor spirit to stop oppressing and they won't give anyone the way out of oppression either. I am disturbed all the time that darker hued people say America or US patriotically, as if it is actually what those lighter hued people said it was all these years. It was not ever a free country, the descendants of those people who organized it still don't want it to be, and guns are not the only weapon they use to actuate what they want. I don't know all the time, if the darker hued are speaking as if they have patriotic hurt to evoke sympathy, so that they don't get more attention from racist lighter hued in the government, or if they honestly feel patriotic and are let down sometimes, but it is odd. We should not ever have started asking for lighter hued to see us as human. Our ancestors were fighting, but the media and ruthless spirituality was used/is used, to convince and saturate into darker hued people that they were not. Lighter hued could only convince us that they are not racist, or inherintly racist, or at least sympothetic to darker hued issues if we see them make a great effort to change the country. They don't, so far. If we ask for something, we give people permission to choose. Lighter hued should not ever choose things for our lives or politics. They have not proved themselves to choose the most basic, like schools and basic laws. They not qualified, they don't even see hues of man. Why are some darker hued people still convinced to ask? Are they honestly thinking that darker hued only asked for jobs and equal opportunity? Maybe it's the process of thought about how to handle the issues that should change in the darker hued? We don't owe, nor did the lighter hued give us any conviniences or technologies, only pollution and to tread evolutionarily backwards because they don't live by the Lapis Lazuli. Lighter hued were behind us not ahead. Darker hued knew that the human body was the most advanced technology we are ever going to build and that comes with connection to Greater Concious. I am truly glad he survived. I hope the lighter hued person who shot him does not.

Outstanding video post. Believe it or not I'm going to keep this short. Being Black in America unfortunately means you have a target on your back. However it means to you have a responsibility to your generational past, present and future not to take the onslaught of others laying down or quitting. I'm never going to be lectured, misdirected nor misinformed by a race of people who stole this land from the indigenous people. Killed them or manipulated them to feel unwelcomed. Trade slaves and dehumanizing them, all while selling your virtues to the unwise among the world. The very audacity to preach the bible to conform others, all while nonconformant yourself is the biggest disgrace. The only way to get that out is to point a light on their hypocrisy.

Hopefully, Ralph Yarl will make a complete and full recovery. If the information is accurate, Ralph Yarl was no threat to the man who shot him through his front door, and then opened his door to shoot him again when he fell from the first shot. I don't understand how someone can shoot a person that isn't a threat??? And, for no one to help him? I just don't understand how callous, unfeeling, and hateful people can be.
