In Class with Carr, Ep. 17: The Real Story of Aunt Jemima

[@leerhode1021]

This man is a living encyclopedia of knowledge and references. A Brilliant Brother!

[@aliciamason7758]

I love Dr. Carr's mind!! Wish my memory worked as well as his. Damn!! Love it!!!!!

[@kbmiller6197]

Exactly, I like how one thought invokes 1000 more and he can keep dropping jewels!

[@ExtraordinaryE901]

And he’s not the only one!!! Too much HISTORY NOT being told! I absolutely love ppl like this and they need to duplicate and spread the education

[@22coconut]

Prof. Carr's excitement when he talks is so engaging and exhilarating that it pulls you in and it makes you want to learn more! I can't get enough of the two of you. There is so much to learn here.

[@natashagreen5018]

He is the quintessential educated Black man. We can always depend on Dr. Carr to walk us through history and he's so animated which makes his storytelling so fun.

[@elleemmejaye7305]

Here as a result of the Aunt Jemima & Ben Stein discussion. Thank you for decolonizing my mind with every discussion Dr. Carr and Professor Hunter.

[@jerrodnewsom9826]

Dr. Carr is a prime example of intellectual brillance...not just black intellectual brillance. I tune in weekly to learn more. Plus, my list of books has grown significantly.

[@Wandafully_Wanda]

"We'll talk about that another day" We better!!! Dr Carr owes us so many conversations that he's tabled for another day. We'll be waiting for them all because whenever he speaks, we need to listen.

[@KarenHunterShow]

Oh...no worries. We are getting that in TODAY...later on for next week.

[@Wandafully_Wanda]

@@KarenHunterShow thank you for being the link in the chain and helping to get his knowledge passed to us

[@ralphjackson8295]

My sentiment exactly.

[@valkyrie8306]

IKR! I'm ready to start a "blessing" fund so we can have more time. I thought, I was "up" on my history until these classes. Now I realise, I'm just thirsty! Never thought I was a thirsty woman😂

[@c.w.1925]

I think we owe him! Many thanks to Dr. Carr and Dr. Hunter for this content. 🙌🏾

[@bigmarshall1058]

I always enjoy seeing Dr Carr's excitement and joy at teaching black history. And throwing the books in your face! Keep up the good work ya'll.

[@kaytaylor1766]

And when Dr Carr takes of the his glasses the story get deeper lol

[@tequanbrowning]

I love these discussions. Ever since this quarantine happened I found something to look forward to every Saturday. 🙌🏾 Thank God for Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr.

[@KarenHunterShow]

AWWW! Thank you, Tequan!

[@tequanbrowning]

Karen Hunter Show no. Thank You. Thank you for informing and inspiring me and others that tune every time you post a video on KZbin 🙌🏾💯.

[@mwadiyakin-malebo4135]

Every Saturday since pandemic times I have been watching from Toronto. As a slave descendant I am always interested History and Dr. Carr is a master griot. Thanks Dr. Karen keep up the good work.

[@tonibrooks9719]

I learn more and more every session with Dr. Carr. How his brain retains this knowledge is impressive!!! I love these classes.

[@tonyr6786]

Teacher, teacher! I’m here. Just FYI - since I’ve been learning from you, I’ve created a blog, written 7 articles, finished writing my book, which is going though editing as I type. Thanks for inspiring someone who almost gave up on my dreams. Keep leaving those breadcrumbs. Oh, and I’m also a graduate of Tennessee State University.😀😀😀😀

YOOOOO! You are doing the MOST, Tony! WOW!

[@darrylbrown3254]

I've done reading about Black History on my own but THIS man (through you) has taught me so much more in his sessions on Saturday with YOU Ms. Karen Hunter and expanded my Library to the extent that I HAVE to learn more! Thank You Ms. Hunter for your contributions in educating us!! I look forward to your "In Class with Dr. Carr" videos, I look forward to them. Keep up your excellent work...It's reaching more people than you think!!! P.S. I've also watched many more of your videos...Much Love and Respect!!!!

[@junedrummerliggins7405]

I am sitting in the front of the class. Looking forward to learning more of our history

[@KarenHunterShow]

I see you, June!

[@Goddess924]

Me too!!!

[@pamelamelton7724]

AND THEY SHOULD HAVE A BLACK HISTORY CLASS NOT ONLY FOR BLACK STUDENTS, BUT FOR WHITE STUDENTS ALSO. . HECK... I BEEN OUT FOR YEARZ AND I WANT TO READ ABOUT THEM.. THEY SHOULD FEEL ASHAMED FOR NOT EDUCATING US ON OUR BLACK HISTORY. . EVERYBODY THAT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PUBLISH MENT OF THE HISTORY BOOKZ NEED TO BE FIRED. .OR ETC. SOME ARE PROBABLY NOT ON 5HIS EARTH ANYMORE. .I CAN EDUCATE MYSELF. .BUT I'M FEELING SOME TYPE OF WAY, BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW TJIS WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL. .WHAT A SHAME.. THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH US FOR SO LONG..AND THEY ALWAYS WILL... AND THATZ OKAY WITH ME.. I LIVE FOR THE MOST HIGH. . JESUS CHRIST..

Me too. Harriet’s think alike. 👍🏾 So grateful for the deep love and light. 💞

[@kimrutherford4300]

This brought me to tears! I love our people. The things we've survived is astounding! Dr. Carr, I appreciate you! Thank you for sharing your passion and vision for "us", Karen! Many blessings to you both.

[@kbmiller6197]

I'm going to buy the book, I'm going to read the book! WORD! Dr. Geg Carr is the truth!

[@Icanfly70]

Karen I love, love what you are doing. I'm in class with you and Dr. Carr every week. I love to read but I'm so jealous of Dr. Carr's library. Now at age 70 I will never reach the number of books so I appreciate to be able to listen in and the emmence knowledge I'm gaining. I believe you are never too old to learn....I just have to write everything down now.🤣

[@KarenHunterShow]

His library is impressive (as is his mind). And this isn't even a tenth of the books he has. And you're so right about learning.

[@karenl7786]

I just saw the re-imagining a Fahrenheit 451 last night with Michael B Jordan. The underground rebels in that version memorized whole novels and literary works. It just reminded me of another session with Dr. Carr where he discussed the African history and knowledge keepers who felt that writing history down diminished the mind's capacity and the people's capacity for remembrance and understanding. Doctor Carr himself is a testament to the benefit and capacity of both recording knowledge and carrying it within. And Ms. Hunter, your mind is not too shabby either!

[@TheCommsHeiress]

@@KarenHunterShow @africanacarr Pure Unadulterated Liberation through intellectual nourishment! Please keep feeding our people!🙇🏾‍♀️🙏🏾 May the ancestors protect you both, you're treasures to the Culture✊🏾

[@KarenHunterShow]

You are very welcome, Zherron!

[@willp4725]

@@givenscommunications6307 The History channel does not consider this to be important history, or appealing history. The kind that they think there audiences want to see. If they believed it would draw large numbers of viewers they would do the story.

I love it when do these classes with Dr Carr , whether he's on your show or Roland Martin's he's always interesting. 🇬🇧

[@willojam5787]

My son's a sophomore in high school now..would love for him to be taught by this man!! Ive learned more today than Ive learn in all my 50 years 💯

[@dannawhite5855]

Dr. Carr's LEVEL OF EXCITEMENT is INFECTIOUS! Makes me sit on the edge of my seat! The level and reach of his MEMORY and RECALL!! WOW! I would never skip HIS class. He SHOULD monetize his lessons! I'd ENROLL in a minute and I betcha a whole lot of others would too...young and old.

[@Breathofmyancestors]

My God...I could just sit and listen and listen and listen...Thanks for waking us up Karen. Dr. Carr is ALL OF IT!!!

[@intrepidfox37]

Dr. Carr reminds me of the late Mr. Abdullah, a high school history teacher I had; teaching our history in plain English and with context to other world events happening at the same time. I could listen for hours!

[@357teddybear]

I swear, my life has been made forever better for having followed this channel. I LOVE history, but you and Dr. Carr, as educators are like a dream come true for me. I hope to meet you both in-person some day.

[@KarenHunterShow]

Thank you, Christopher...glad to know that!

Mind blown...AGAIN! Professor Carr keeps outdoing himself every Saturday! Had to listen twice to catch it all! Thanks to you both for the best delivery of history lessons! Cheers!

Thank you so much Dr. Carter and Prof. Hunter!!! Dr. Carter I love how learned you are. I’ve told my friends about you and said if erudite had a picture, it would be you!!! I’m a proud graduate of Clark Atlanta University, but am now hoping my children go to Howard when it’s time just to have you as a professor. I also loved the video where you discussed Jamil Al-Amin. I remember being a law student at Georgia State University and having one of the prosecutors coming to speak to our class. My friend reminded me that I pressed about being a black woman prosecuting a political prisoner. Ultimately, I just want to say THANK YOU!!! I’m immensely grateful for all the knowledge your videos continue to impart upon me...I stay taking notes lol 💪🏾✊🏾

The burial piece in this segment is so real and very interesting. "The forgotten girl" is a fiction story that touches on the historical facts of how African American graves weren't marked and forgotten. I once again enjoyed this class.

This show does a great job at selecting their guests. This man has a wealth of knowledge.

[@WILDANDPEACEFUL23]

MORE CLASSES WITH DR. CARR PLEASE.

[@FarriaLaw]

Straight fire as usual. Still respect how our African identity and Pan-African leanings are always highlighted, in every lesson. To answer a question posed previously, "we never did stop being African".

[@peterfritzler544]

Dr. Carr's comment about "washing" graves. I didn't know this, and the idea of "tending to the people who tended to you" is appealing to me. I think of my grandparents and their influence on my growth and development. Next time I visit my mom I will be taking the time to do this with grandparents' headstones. Thank you, Dr. Carr.

This is so deep and I'm referring to the way history is hidden and rewritten and hidden again. Also, the way the lies of history are woven into the education system. The whole thing, it a masterpiece of deceit. It's also exhausting, how can you keep lying and hiding history. Aren't they exhausted lol? On a lighter note, there's so much to learn. Ok, rant over. Thanks for sharing this interview.

[@kimwilliams388]

I am just tuning into this episode. I am glad you explained this. I was always proud to see a black man and woman on the box to sell cereal and pancake mix. I never thought about the white folks using their face as minstrels to sell the products. It all depends on the perspective one looks at something. That is creative Marketing for sure. Thanks for the real history lesson of Aunt Jemima (I ain't yo mama).

Living Spirit I had vivid dreams of my long gone grandmother, whom I was very close to, decades after she passed (when I was a pre teen). She appeared, still giving me knowledge... In fact... in one of the last clear dreams, she actually aged in the dream ..and I was taller than her - unlike our respective heights when she died.

The Aunt Jemima family had a lawsuit with the company they were never compensated. Now that the trademark is being taken down the family will not be compensated indefinitely. I believe the company used the out lash from the community to get out of this lawsuit with the family.

They presented that question to us as students when I was in Mortuary school. “Why is burial an important ritual”.

[@vintagechild4418]

I have ancestral roots to Madagascar, they do rituals to the dead. I remember my grandmother going as I said before, Decoration day (Memorial Day) was our ritual to clean the graves of those who preceded us. I am like Karen, I do not believe they are there, but their spirit is always with us (even alive in the DNA) but it is like doing libations to honor the ancestors. Some people have alters for ancestors. I think it is good to remember what and where you came from. More books thanks.

So many people are suffering from countless decades of white men ruling. If we must be ruled then the farce must be unveiled. Otherwise we are supplicant to the mistreatment.

[@kenyafromcali]

That’s because they know their heritage and they took all knowledge of ours. You have more black Americans scared of graves than knowledgeable of the power of honoring and remembering our ancestors.
