Dr Carr and Sista Karen Hunter thanks for the education, so glad to have found you during the pandemic, and will be leaning in as we go into this upcoming madness in January 2025.

[@dwaynek6053]

Karen what you said about cooperating with each other starting at 1:50:00 was gold- and funny at the same time- “ a chicken store across from a chicken store”😂😂😂.

[@gellis9309]

Thank you Dr. Carr for sharing that history that is held in your memory as it is in so many of our people!!

[@nyrecary2957]

Excellent. I'm white and proud myself.

[@Pamelamusic371]

Thank you for this conversation Nikki Giovanni and James Baldwin,blessings ❤

[@JCDhalia]

That interview between the late Nikki Giovanni and the late James Baldwin seems not like an interview but like two persons in a personal conversation. This I watch on RMU, it took me a back with amazement!

[@michellejenkins994]

21:11 I watched the entire conversation for the first time (on the day she passed away … Previously only saw the short clip). It was pensive, powerful, timeless.

[@luv2hateon]

“Thanks,Deep Thinker! Team 24-27( Hunter ‘n’Carr) are the real deal! Ur setting a stellar example for all of Us!” 🦋🔥💯🎉

[@patalexander648]

Thank you Prof Hunter & Dr Carr for this platform. I look forward to every session & find myself getting tick when someone/thing interrupts my attention. Again, thank you!

[@kmttaseti]

Thank you Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr.

[@quietstorm6710]

Gm. I listened to Nikki and James a few years ago. It waa a beautiful conversation to me. Both from her push back and his gentleness.

[@fredrekalevias6903]

I am new and gorging on all of this knowledge - I don’t leave a lot of comments but I just want to say that Dr. Carr is the Elder that I’ve been searching for all my life - so grateful for the education and conversation happening here - I was introduced to Dr. Carr listening to Roland Martin and now cannot listen to him enough - the knowledge is such a deep well and the communication is so authentic…it is the type scholar and cultural knowledge holder that I wish we could see more of

[@Yusuf-pm7uc]

I am still being fed Intellectually every Saturday Thank you for the inspiration which infuses a desire to be more literate! ❤🎉

[@michellejenkins994]

17:02 That was very powerful.

[@danielcampbell6507]

It's all about, Love. Love streams with unbound intended consequences beyond our consciousness.

[@reginaldallen722]

The interview is so powerful and has so many threads connecting to dilemmas today. I marveled at the cigarette smoking throughout the interview. Great soul food, for our mental to chew on.

In her poem Nikki Rosa, she talks about living in Woodlawn. She also talks about her family going to meetings about Hollydale, subdivision in Springfield Township outside of Cincinnati, built be Black in the 1940s and 50s. Ted Berry was the attorney for the Hollydale founders. Her father bought stock in the Hollydale corporation. Because of discrimination that led to delays in the project, some of the stockholders had to sell their stock. There's a line in the poem where she talks about her father selling his stock and watching another dream go.

Thank you, Dr. Carr by way of Nikki Giovanni: “What do you do with rejection?” What the hell? Go on about your business. 🎉. My heart 💜 needed to hear that . Love ❤️ from Vegas !

[@marcuslittle4428]

Wow, what a great interview! between an established giant and a rising one. When great meets great, the end result is both become even greater. Even for those who benefit from their gifts.

[@gianttv8804]

I prolly need to go back and watch the Baldwin/Giavanni convo again. I never watched the whole thing. Seemed like James was trying to dominate the convo.

[@JoJo-it6wp]

I suggest his critical thoughts were in play instead. A female thinks mostly like Nicki here. Simply love and be loved. That’s the Cinderella dream..right? He saying what I know is said in policy making to this day… these kids are drowning in despair and we need an abundance of resources to help them maintain etc etc. (ie; see how many can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps).

[@kmc1994]

@@JoJo-it6wphuh? Your suggesting Giovanni was purely emotional during the conversation? That’s insulting and sexist. Technically, Baldwin was doing the same.
