In Class with Carr, Ep. 94: Mer'Chrimah! And Happy Kwanzaa!

[@dennistaylor6342]

I don’t celebrate this pagan holiday. Or any of the white man’s pagan days. But Dr. Carr brought back a memory of my youth. My parents being both from the dirty south. I would hear my dad say Crisma or Cherma. He was a Gula GeeChee. Talk about ways of knowing. How are black souls and spirit communicate on a whole different frequency. 1st. Frequency to be exact.✊🏾 I love our people. I’m so glad I’m black! Thanks to the most high creator.

[@clarissajones5636]

Yes, First frequency, B1! ☝🏾💖✊🏾

I am very proud to be related to the amazingly beautiful black folk from Low Country South Carolina: Coosawhatchie, Pocataligo, Point South, Yemasee, Gillisonville, Ridgeland, Hardeeville, and more. Historically and culturally black South Carolinans are a very unique folk. Yes, Dr. Carr, it takes critical thought , analysis , and speaking with my ancestors to know just who I am. Thanks to you and Karen Scott for this great episode.👏👏👏 Keep up the great and informative work that you do. 👍👏👌 ❤

Ever since I discovered you guys my eyes,ears, thoughts, heart has been opened like never before . Its amazing what happens to a person when you have great teachers/educators. I feel sorry for the kids in schools who doesn't have access to teachers like Dr.Carr (The Human Google)and sister Karen Hunter (A clean glass of water). I just want to express my gratitude to you both. Thank you, thank you, thank you. May God bless you both with more blessings than you deserve . All the best for 2022. One 🖤.

Happy Kwanzaa Prof Hunter & Dr. Carr! So glad we have this space, even on Yt. When I watch these videos, it gives me a chance to just sit and listen; take it all in. When I don’t get something (understand) I can watch it again and again until it syncs in and I can understand, or, just in case I missed something, I can get it later. So, I really appreciate y’all. Please don’t remove ICWDr. Carr from this format. We need it🙏🏽♥️✌🏽✊🏽

[@donnabohanon1570]

“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” I’ve held the knowledge of Kwanzaa in my head for many years but this year after studying in Knarrative and Knubia then this In Class with Carr; Kwanzaa is understood in my ♥️ Thank you Professor Hunter & Dr. Carr

[@n_andrews1370]

Hello! I wanted to purchase the book Dr. Carr referenced: The Encyclopedia of Caribbean Religions and was totally sticker shocked by the $250.00 + price tag! In comparison, the bible isnt even $10.00 which immediately unraveled my mind to begin thinking, "what is in this book that is so important that the price tag for the potential truth would be so expensive?" That was my first impression; I have to remind myself the truth will always be harder to obtain!

[@p.w.7493]

Thank you, Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr for this interesting 'read' of the yule season observation/celebration!! Dr. Carr's truly a MASTER STORYTELLER!! I love that what's shared commands our attention, since the topics are ALWAYS interesting!! You're both a 'gif' (pun intended) as you leave us with these gems each "In Class"!👏🏾👏🏾 I love how Dr. Carr effortlesslessly connects the 'structures' under which we're made to operate to everything! I'm saying it again, we're forever grateful to you both for preparing and making this space available for us to learn and grow!! Love what Prof. Hunter says "we're building for the future"! AMEN!! Stay safe, y'all!🙏🏾💯

[@Astromalcolm]

Thank u Dr.Carr and Dr. Hunter great class!! I really like how u broke down the origins of christ going back with our ancestors the ancient Egyptians, and the Roman empire just using the story as a political instrument for control and power. Also what is a good thing to point out is the fact that they argued over christ having a human nature or not. He actually never walked the earth, the Bible can't be read as a history book, so I think this was a great class! Thank you

[@theresaedwards6542]

I remember doing a Christmas play when I attended Catholic school. I was in the 6th grade, I was one of the Wise Men. I was pick for that part. Funny thing it turned out to be an eye opener for me personally. Even though I had read many times in the Bible, I didn't realize that one of them was a Black man. Well in the play I was the Brother.

I have been celebrating Kwanzaa for 26 years. Kwanzaa makes a lot of sense for our people than celebrating a pagan holiday that’s full of lies, brainwashing and hypocrisy.
