"KEEP IT A BUCK"

[@nelvawilliamson6241]

I live in Houston, Texas. I taught for 21 years in Fourth Ward aka Freedman Town the part of Houston purchased by Jack Yates, a former enslaved blacksmith who was literate and a preacher. Every year I visit Mr. Yates grave at College Park Memorial Cemetery to pay my respects. I choose to not go to the BBQs and such…that’s just me. When there was all the excitement about making Juneteenth a national holiday, I spoke in opposition to it because it’s not a celebration but a Remembrance Day of those enslaved in Texas who as soon as they found out they were free, they took control of their lives…immediately took control of their lives. The entirety of the story has not been told on a national level. This is why I feel this celebration is for the descendants of Texas’ enslaved population and the diaspora that occurred out of Texas by our ancestors….in my humble opinion.

[@jenisereedus]

Well said🙌🏿

[@lillieharris1371]

Thank you, Professor Hunter and Dr. Carr. There is so very much to grasp and grow from this teaching.

[@purpleness64]

Ase!!!

[@dwisesanful]

Watching this is great way to cleanse yourself from the work week. You can tell Karen wanted to read that book and now when she reads it , all she can think about is what dr Carr said 😂😂😂

[@kayg2633]

Dang Dr. Carr mentioned the Tiny Desk concerts & I love it. It shows how connected we all are.❤

[@theresaedwards6542]

To your point, Professor Hunter, Dr. Carr has "ruined" many books and conversations for me. I am constantly reminding myself that people are doing the best they can with the knowledge they have because not everyone is a Knubian 😊.

[@devonedwards4395]

I now look at things very differently now because I have him in my mind....he has opened my eyes to many things. I can open my mouth & put my brain on display because of Dr Carr 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kmttaseti]

Thank you Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr.

[@earljohnson8936]

Thanks for taking the time to provide wisdom and insight as the struggles are real and inter generational. Critical to know your history if you have any hope of a future.

[@knarrative]

Our pleasure! Thank you!

[@Caribbean_King]

thank you for introducing me to Nicholas Payton! Thank you for the deep, meaningful conversation and good vibes!! 🎉🎉

[@davidgoodlettmusic]

Knarrative imprint. Brilliant! Can’t wait! Yes, having our own models in every industry is the blueprint, drawing from, and, when possible, improving upon, blueprints our people have previously created.

[@p.w.7493]

Thank you both, Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr, for THIS space.!! You've both shared so much with us. Without you, many of the things I now know I would not have known. So, like so many others, I say thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! Blessings to y'all!! Meanwhile, sing Chaka Kahn, Dr. Carr!! 🙏🏾🖤💯

[@BelindaSkinner-ln2te]

I'm just watching again for this episode to teach the algorithm my FOREVER MOOD! 👊 ✊️ ❤ This QUEEN moves my GOOD TEARS and soothes my FEAR!❤

[@DeniseJoyHart]

That section about Hare visiting Sterling Brown pissed me off, made me weep and motivated me! Fellow Howard faculty member who speaks truth to power!

[@jenisereedus]

Thanks for mentioning the fabulous Dr. Gerald Horne, love him, good morning Knarrative❤️🖤💚

[@ladellalevy3613]

This was absolutely phenomenal. So many nuggets of gold. I feel wealthy.

[@jayce4065]

Really enjoyed today’s lesson ❤

[@amberjohnsonlogan]

I am happy to see this. This is how I learned to read- but, keep in mind that this is that we do in the Liberal Arts. As a person who chose graduate study in history over the much more advised professional tracks, what Dr. Carr is doing with that book is what we did every day. I feel so seen! Education is not, and cannot be, about grabbing a grade with the least possible effort and then getting a job in someone's foolishness....it is a lifelong pursuit.

[@joycemobley9430]

Juneteenth belongs to us!!!! Thank you, Prof and Dr. Carr, for always challenging us .... Ase'

[@eggedon6112]

Looking forward to a Knarrative Imprint. That'll be great. #StartWithNothing #GitCreative

[@TrueTales-vg7yb]

Great video

[@knarrative]

Thanks!

[@barbaramaat8098]

Greetings to Professors Humter and Carr. Always on point! Love this discussion so much to bring in being. Peace

[@kimberlyturner4065]

We LOVE Dr. Carr’s book library, but can you imagine his music library??? ❤️

[@willamettennisbarnett3373]

Thanks again

[@sheresehinkle4889]

Thank you, Prof. Hunter, and Dr. Carr, can’t thank you enough for your ROCK-SOLID COMMITMENT and GIVING HEARTS - what blessing these days!!! RIP Dr. Nathan Hare- thank you for introducing us to our now ancestor who was all for us, and without compromise. May he rest in loving peace. And RIP to our beloved Angela Bofil, who will be missed as well-thank you for informing us, because I did not know. I have a CD or two by her that I will have to pull on out. Phyllis Hyman is my heart of hearts, and Ms. Bofil was right up there with her. Dr. Carr-I also remember stumbling upon that performance of the two of them, on You Tube some years ago, and nearly lost my mind. Heavenly voices indeed- now together. Thank you both, as usual for an enlightening, and informative class. That song!!!

[@whikidmatt]

"The Skipper" had me crackin up

[@dameonbrown1972]

Dr Carr was not having it 😂

[@eggedon6112]

Mary McLeod Bethune is not a DEI appointment. She built a College, she wasn't waiting for help.

[@davidomowale2567]

Dr Nathan Hare and his wife Dr Julia was no joke both was warrior, and his wife was harder than him on the Yurugu, may they both rest in peace job well done.

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

Yurugu, yes...

[@dbo2200]

I agree every since I started watching in Class with Carr I am out here calling everything out I can’t even watch Sports or cartoons anymore

[@devonedwards4395]

I look at Skip Gates with the side eye now 🤣🤣🤣🤣....Dr Carr puts things into a brilliant simplicity that if you had a counter argument it's erased by the shear knowledge of his thesis....you end up saying "your right"

[@kbtokyo]

Opal Lee was just iin Japan and I was with her in. Round table discussion with the u .s. Ambassador Rahm Rmanuel.. last month. We just had the 3rd annual Juneteenth Gala on June 14 in Tokyo.

[@MiracleFruitsMusic]

Hi Mum watching from Ghana

[@hoperucker2917]

Good Evening Karen and Dr. Karr. I so enjoy learning from you both. At some point could talk about if you heard what is going on with Saint Augustine College in Raleigh. It seems as if they are getting ready to close their doors. I think it is sad. Thank you.

[@TheEmeraldRock]

There's an upcoming theatrical musical on Chaka Khan (with her involvement & blessing) in the UK titled I'M EVERY WOMAN

[@mssule4331]

#859 like better late than never…thank fam enjoyed this episode.

[@knarrative]

Thank you!

[@jenisereedus]

Thank you for knowing who Nicholas Payton is Dr. Carr🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🎺🎺🎺 #IYKYK

[@startpage717]

So much we don't know...Agree. Work was done WE just need to research. and Read. But. we. can read the other publishers If we just keep both our eyes open and not be distracted by the "social structure" ...

[@leneseherbert6905]

"Pick me" culture. Comparative clicks on the Chaka Khan Tiny Desk concert. Nathan Hare intro. SHEESH! Another fantastic class.

[@feliciajohnson3136]

So sad Many of us still do not know how powerfully and significantly we have sold out Once we all finally get this concept of selling out then we can begin total unity Until then we who know have a tough fight If only we could get it quicker the fight would be quicker and more substantial we could reach the end to this mess faster LOVE YALL!!

[@mykhaelbrandon]

Aht aht. “Its Giving” is a black OG Queer term been around for a few decades. Now the kids might be using online.

[@ctsphang]

So. _Astounding_ when people start squealing with delight, in response to Dr. Carr’s singing. (‘People,’ is me, but anyway…😅)

[@Mila-r1t]

SELF RESPECT AMONGST AFRIKANS HAS BEEN ANNIHILATED. We do not know and do not care to know. 'They not like us' and 'old town country road' is meaning making of people who refuse to read, as they love to say, "on period." Neely Fuller said we need to stop singing, dancing and partying and only speak to each other to be constructive

[@sekkhiaakare7701]

I was pissed finding out about Dr. Gerald Horne AFTER he wrote 30 books.

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

Thank you for putting me on to a new author of our stories.

[@cavhaynes]

Dr. Harry Edwards should be on KZbin more. Haven’t seen him in a while

[@MarcusMedlockSr]

Did Dr Carr just tell all of academia that he is going to make them cry?

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

He did. And he meant it. And when I learned of him years and years ago, he could have wrote a book then that would make academia cry.

[@jcdhalia1241]

Professor Hunter as you said and I would replied there is nothing new under the sun. What we thought is new there has been a forerunner.(Reference to Prof. Herr, recorded speech.)

[@cedricmilliner123]

Hey Greetings Famalay* Late For Class SaintThomas, U.S.VIRGIN ISLANDS Keep Up Y'all Great VIBES 1,LUV ❤ Enjoy Peace ✌🏿 🌏

[@FrankMcCraw]

Unfortunately, Dr. Carr's point, early in this episode, may have been missed. The book was written for the social structure. Ms. Hunter's defensiveness, her somewhat apologetic stance and her utterance "...you're going to mess it up for everybody..."., was valid from a social structure perspective. The author thought she was doing something good and valuable, and she may have "...messed it up..." for persons inextricably wed to the social structure and its values; and some of us do look at the publisher, the author and the time setting of the book before making the read/don't read decision. I found Dr. Carr's attempt to demonstrate critical thinking from a decidedly governance perspective very accessible, educational and genius.

[@eggedon6112]

Yes, always consider the source!

[@floydg16]

Well I definitely will be signing that petition regarding Porter. He actions and what he did at the Juneteenth celebration was indeed offensive.

[@lindacoleman2014]

I already let my employer know I'm not coming in on June 19th...they don't recognize it...we just got off as a holiday for MLK Day last year

[@DamienFoster-t5e]

Dr Carr b cooking 🍳🍳🍳

[@mikec5641]

Beg your pardon. Angela Bofil IS a household name. The minds of our grandchildren have been "altered by technology....... RIP......Under the moon and over the sky.......

[@barbaraburns8014]

Some people are never going to do anything.

[@eggedon6112]

Yes, use your time and energy with wisdom.

[@jmainesmithsr5936]

Love the back and forth but one mic has to be lower great show

[@MiracleFruitsMusic]

This is Welbeck your son from Ghana

[@gl0bal7474]

Thank you for this discussion. I have noticed that you and Dr Carr will recommend some excellent books for reading. ex: "Counter Revolution of 1836 : Texas Slavery & Jim Crow and the Roots of U.S. Fascism" Gerald Horne 2022. I was wondering if these book lists are available for other talks.

[@knarrative]

Our pleasure! All of the books mentioned in each episode are available to members on the Knarrative.com platform.

[@royaldixon779]

The law of the land , or the universal law of God !

[@sergioperezio5523]

I had no idea that Intersectionality was controversial among revolutionary intellectuals? It's concepts made me peek over the fence of the LGBTQ, Pan African, AIM, Anarchists, Feminists....... Before that I was just a communist Mexican now I just want to stop billionaires and let the chips fall 😊. thanks professors.

[@margaret6061]

Does anyone know what happened to Gabriel Opare, the 19 year old Ghanaian, who created a search engine he named MUDCLO? I'm curious to know if Black Tech developers in the Diaspora are paying any attention to the young tech curious or tech prodigies on the Continent?

[@donaldgeorge-v6s]

I do in joy😅..but when will there be an archive about the history and purpose behind..the three strike laws.to go back listening to is that black study to....when will there be a subject..red green and black 🖤 ❤❤ 😮😮

[@TheEncyclopediaBrown]

Please say more? By “an archive about the history and purpose behind..the three strike laws…” do you mean a ready assembly of materials to study in order to answer that question? If so, there are numerous articles and other writings that offer compendia of documents and policymaking, the stated rationales and consequences. I think the short answer to the question you raise of “when” is “they exist and are easy to find with a little research.” Does this help?

[@lindapeele3752]

Found Chaka Kahn video with Maty J . B. on youtube .

[@TheEmeraldRock]

Maybe the Rooks text was going for dramatic reveal (think of introducing a legend at an event. The legend doesn't just walk out. Someone else is used to build the anticipation). Just a thought. I hear you. (And anything touched by HLG makes me 😒🤢)

[@TheEmeraldRock]

Okay, you just said it, Doc. Cinematic build was (more than likely) the objective. That's a great way to draw readers in, but a different event could have been chosen to franw that, that doesn't center wyt folks.

[@eggedon6112]

​@@TheEmeraldRockAnd that's the point ❤

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

I can dig this train of thought. We are developing and assessing how we have been taught to think and how we should be thinking, in real time.

[@thaddineswifteagle7626]

I self published my book. And it got playarized by a black women. and it is now a tv show on BET + That part!

[@young00seek]

Carr! Let Karen finish a dam thought, bro!

[@mvg75]

HI Iggie pullum AL. Definitely trade and world security has to be family partnership with each other. Other races do it without considering black America abornoriginal America.
