MUST WATCH! Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America w/ Michael Harriot to Karen Hunter

[@michellem4287]

I'm white and I love this because I want to know the truth about history. #ProudAlly

[@johna3166]

They dont want their people to know how much they owe us. The truth cannot be hidden forever.

[@kissoflove14]

I'm going to create a Black AF book club in my community, with this book being its inaugural/initial reading. I believe we are living in a time like no other, with the unfettered access to information and the speedy decline of this criminal enterprise. Oh how I wish more people were paying attention!

[@6213explorer1]

No need to do that. Breaking Brown already has a book climb AND chapters. Pushing for reparations.

[@alomaalber6514]

good paragraph. The UK discusses the class system and this is with whites. The US never discusses this. I look forward to his book. The early history is very difficult to find. He went to source. Also, Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean, Drug Foods (the shipping trade) Jordan and Walsh's book White Cargo. from 1620 to 1776 was a big chunk of time, also the French and Indian War was brutal. Cheers.

[@vickiebonner4181]

Tell them it makes sense to me . Don't ever forget Benjamin Bannecker 🤔

[@jantramorris7055]

The wealth of history shared from your lectures, presentations and this book, Black AF is literally filling our mind and erasing the nonsense we were taught in schools. You make us proud.

[@hdlc4635]

More strong arguments for reparations.

[@borngreat-4-life930]

Leave that to GOD. He will grant it to us in due time. 😂😂

[@AmericanPatriot4-19-95]

Reparations for what......? No one is or has been enslaved in America since America freed the slaves they purchased from the Africa. That was all over centuries ago. Look at lil wayne,50 cent, Oprah, LeBron James, PRESIDENT Obama, to name a few examples that if America had systemic racism would a Muslim be elected to congress? Would all the above people be billionaires? The welfare system has been engaging in reparations....... people just want free stuff and handouts, tell Oprah and LeBron and the Rock to donate a billion for an inner city. Its NOT about racism in America, its more about classism.....the haves and the have nots. And a lot of mass looting across the country (more free stuff) ifablack man can make it to the white house in a country with only 13% black.....well that kills the race issue. Morgan Freeman said everybody just stop talking about it because it doesn't exist. People just don't want to work hard and that goes for this whole generation not just black people. Reperations to people living in the best country. Slavery was in the middle east......go ask them see what they say and while you're at it say a prayer for all of the lives lost for our freedom. Reparations have been paid and this Author is blackwashing the past. The truth is the truth no matter how painful. So stop blaming white America because I dont owe you SHIT🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@Texasbelle-qk1ez]

@hdlc4635 he thinks anyone black in the u.s. should get reparations not just descendants of slaves.

[@alomaalber6514]

They were paid in the Jesuit and Georgetown University case, as there were records and the great great great grands were still in the District of Columbia. One has to have a paper trail in legal matters.

[@hdlc4635]

@alomaalber6514 It's not difficult for Black Americans to paper trail back to slavery as people kept documents on slaves just as we have deeds and insurance papers on property today. Many families, like mine, still have photos of emancipated ancestors.

After listening to the original show, I went to purchase the book. Amazon has sellers that have scammed many people, including me. When I got the paperback there were no words. The pages were blank . Please let the author know.

[@EzzyDT]

Thanks for the video. Just finish the audiobook while gardening. I love love love the book. I am know listening to incidents in the life of a slave girl written by herself. Harriet Ann Jacobs. A book recommendation with in Black AF History. Thanks for the books.

[@justmyopinion9883]

Thank you, Professor Hunter, for sharing this conversation with one of my favorite historians, Micheal Harriot. He talks about aspects of Black history that we never hear about in school. I'm so grateful for his research and study that he shares with us. I loved every minute of this video.

[@p.w.7493]

[@Reikiht56]

Got mine on audible 😊 TY

[@AngieMoe]

I'm like the previous commentor. I'm still learning Black History. My parents were born in 1951 and 1952 and didn't share any information about Martin King and being assassinated in Memphis, Malcolm X, or the Integration of Central High School and they lived in Arkansas. I missed so much. I don't know if "not knowing" was their fault or they just didn't want to know or care enough to know. I know my dad loves his Bible and taught my brother and I that but now I think he has conflicting views about that too. And my mom, well, whatever my dad says...goes. Just happy I came across your videos during covid, joined Knubia (yep, I'm a Knubian) and I'm learning so much. Now to buy this book but the bookstore in Arkansas is on the struggle bus lol I may have to do something about it. :)

[@NkemOnyeka12]

THAT’S RIGHT, they knew EXACTLY who they were kidnapping!

I believe it doesn't matter that they know or don't know. What matters is that they are going to make money with what they want others to know, whether others want to know or not ....

"The first and most important thing to understand about politics is this: forget Right, Left, Center, socialism, fascism, or democracy. Every government that exists -- or ever existed, or ever will exist -- is a kleptocracy, meaning "rule by thieves." Competing ideologies merely provide different excuses to separate the Productive Class from what they produce." -- L. Neil Smith

[@justdinnerbyharrice942]

Yes. In a book entitled Large Plantations of Northwest Louisiana, the number of enslaved people and the amount of land acreage, among other financial attributes, are listed for “farmers” who held 50 or more people against their will. I wish I could attach a pic here.

My homie Michael Harriet from the Root on this piece. He stays dropping bombs on WS. I'm going to say something I've noticed.. I'm GLAD WE are introducing OURSELVES to the WORLD by way of US, not them. Before Islam and Christianity came around... you know the ones that mostly have negative writings about us, we weren't at the bottom. I'll just leave it at that. But we have been RE-introducing ourselves to the world which is great.

[@OneBlurryLens]

Those original plantation owners sound like the earliest versions of corporate masters/management, taking credit and money for work that was done by poorly treated employees making pennies or nothing.

[@AmericanPatriot4-19-95]

What about getting reparations from the African tribes that enslaved and sold weaker African people??

[@charlesislaw]

Saw the book at Barnes&Nobles. Got it immediately

[@tracyclark7560]

it forbade respect, no marrying specifically Black women

[@timinitiator]

Bro we had a language a lot of our ancestors had more then one ☝️ some of it was English it was here they restricted us of our language here and restricted us from being taught their language. Which is stupid cause we learned it any way cause they had too show us what they wanted from us as slaves! Never say we didn’t have a language.

[@Hismana-oi4yx]

@timinitiator These middle age clowns are beyond disrespectful. You know them fake gullies really think they came from Africa and they lost some mystery language. We have tutnese, Algonquin etc. But will look a some random Africa in reveer

Teaching our African American history in high schools is tricky. The way some people want it taught goes beyond history and condemns our country today. "We are a country of burglars The criminal enterprise that is the American system of government and economics and politics and how we watch that grow." @7:55 I don't think this is correct, or healthy to teach. It feels more like a historic trauma response than a deep and genuine attempt to understand the complexities of history. Thoughts?

The Native Indians (AkA) Moors / Black Africans and later called SEMINOLE(S), Whether they came on the 1st African ships of the Moors or after the appearance of European ships and occupation were Salves from Africa in the Northern hemisphere and apart of the same African people(s).

[@nigelralphmurphy2852]

No, the statement about Australians is completely incorrect. I'm a New Zealand historian who has lived in Australia. Convicts were transported to Australia to serve out their sentences. This was due to an explosion in prison numbers due to the death sentence being repealed on a wide range of criminal charges. You can't just say things. If you don't know don't say it! Or say "I think . . . but I might be wrong."

[@KarenHunterShow]

so Australia wasn't populated by convicts?

[@libertine40]

People always leave out the enslavement of melanated Aboriginal peoples. Let's keep it real. The Eastern Woodlands tribes were the first enslaved by European immigrants and these were also the ancestors of many so called 'blk' people. They were sent throughout the Caribbean, S America, Europe and even *Africa* ('Saltwater Trade') - so imagine how many were recaptured and brought back? And who are their ancestors in those places they were taken? The Aboriginal peoples *also* knew how to build bridges, aquaducts and paved roads in addition to brick and log structures. They firmly established corn, tobacco, hemp and cotton as lucrative cash crops. The Spanish and British pirates destroyed many of the cities, built on top and/or repurposed construction that was already here, then claimed it as theirs. We must install the true *AND complete* historical narratives of what went on here in order to truly establish any justice for the transgressions of these systems of 'wyt' soopremaC. -------------

I would also count collegiate athletics as a form of redistribution. You have most of the revenues being generated by football and basketball and the money from those programs being used to cover scholarships for a million other primarily white sports that generate squat. In addition most of the coaching and assistant jobs have gone to white men. So if black player isn't drafted he is out on his own but the white athlete has a better shot at staying on as part of the coaching staff. Most of the money Deion generates this year even in his situation will go to the benefit of white people.

Are you trying to tell me that a nation that created the largest empire in human history, that invented most of the devices that created the modern world, did not know how to design a house that would let in air, that did not know how to plant and raise crops, did not know how to be carpenters and blacksmiths, or irrigate, or build dams? And had to rely on enslaved people to tell them how to do it? I'm going to need A LOT of evidence to accept that. Can you imagine a Georgia slave owner being told what to do by his enslaved people? And your man said five minutes earlier the task of the enslaved person was to be muscle and work until they died. Make up your mind! That's like saying we Irish built the British Empire. No, we did not. We dug the ditches, carried the bricks, fought in the Englishman's armies, but we did not build it. We just supplied the muscle, the Englishmen told us what to do. We were LABOURERS. And so were you. The difference is was we got paid, and you didn't. We could quit the job if we wanted. You could not.
