@@KarenHunterShow .

I agree one hundred percent.

Handsdown!! I'm so thankful to Professor Hunter for her complete yes to her call to fulfill this mandate from the Ancestors

I've always loved metaphor in song lyrics I never realized how metaphor could make learning so much more rich. Probably because I didn't have many black teachers. But he's given us alot. I never recognized the Garvey movement and the United Fruit company rivalry and it makes so much sense when looking at the families responsible for the assassination in Haiti, and the tension in Cuba. It ties together how the US works through proxy. This knowledge was so needed.

Nobody does it better!

My head blows up and I pump my chest out so big during EVERY In Class with Carr. Our children need this FIRST, then STEM. We will take the world back and turn it around!!! ❤🖤💚💛✊🏾B1👸🏿🤴🏿

Been listening to him since BEFORE “In Class with Carr” and at the very moment you speak of, I had to sit back and just marvel at the journey he created to HER moment…it’s beyond amazing.

Me too!

Damn near every single class is the equivalent of K-12 or a full undergrad at university.

It's always black ppl looking out for other races but it never reciprocated

When we shed that vestige of bondage, watch out!

You gotsta PREACH! Tell…it…all!

Ting set 🙌🏽💯

Same! We grew up with that example

I thank you for your contribution by your persistence and consistency and constancy. Perhaps most importantly, I thank you for opening your mind. For I know, having listened to every episode myself, there are bound to be ideas and facts presented that challenge what one thinks one knows and believes. Thank you for setting that example for those in your sphere and our community at large.

What?!? Who cut him off?!

@@jimmyrayford2944 go listen to a few of Roland Martin’s shows not saying Roland cut him of but sometimes other folks on the panel……

Roland Martin don't allow anyone to talk. He always needs to be the smartest in the room.

We are proud, too. Thank you for being a part of this mission.

Indeed! I thank TMH at least each time I listen to Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr!! They're truly GEMS!💯

Dr Carr and Professor Hunter are us and we are them. They demonstrate our humanity and our greatness in its complexity and comprehensiveness. I share gratitude for all they are, all they are becoming and all they do and will do through knarrative in particular

I respect your opinion, but I'm done arguing. When I worked with kids, I told them you'd better get up and move with me if ever you see my face and I'm saying there's a fire. Same thing in this instance. Melanin-challenged folk traipsed into neighborhoods they normally wouldn't be caught dead in to get the vaccine. I now throw my hands up and say "you know best".

@@candiyoung7027 Sounds like a respectful response. I like it!

It's not an "argument" to Dr. Carr's point. It's an appeal to someone's humanity and regard for public safety. Still, unfortunately, not trusting government officials, regardless of country, when it comes to public health has it's logical roots. Many of the non-vaccinated are not stupid, even when they may not present themselves as well-informed. You can't read books like Bad Blood, Medical Apartheid, The Isis Papers, A Higher Form of Killing, Vaccines Are Dangerous, War Against Children of Color, The Anglo-American Biomedical Antecedents to Nazi Crimes, Against Their Will, Breeding Bettter Vermonters, decades of UNESCO documents on health disparities and birth rates, and many other texts on experimentation and medical genocide, and think people "should" just line up for the vaccine. Calling people "assholes" (Charles Barkley) for not getting vaccinated reflects a high degree of historical illiteracy. The eugenics movement (which never ended because they have international conferences every year) alone is enough to make someone hesitate. Some anti-vaxers may see this as a conspiracy, but not just against global Black people. So trying to convince Black people that they should take the vaccine because "smart white people are taking it" flies in the face of everything we learn in these spaces about the social and governing structure. Is taking the vaccine a resaonable decision...yes!!! Is not taking the vaccine a logical decision...yes! It's terrible that lives are on the line as we work this out, because this virus is a parasite on humanity. Still multiple things can be true. This virus could be a deliberate weapon used against the majority of the world's economically bottom tier (I mean, aren't the stockpiles of nuclear weapons waiting to be launched at the push of a button always on the verge of being the same thing, so it's not far fetched). While simultaneously, the various vaccines developed against COVID-19 and all current variants are the most life-saving tools to fight against it. While also, the impact of either contracting COVID or being vaccinated against may cause both short and/or long term effects that we are uncertain of in a minority (not insignificant) portion of the world's population, thus causing people to make reasonable, personal decisions that they feel are in their best interest. I know we want everyone to be vaccinated, but not doing it is not always a referendum on someone's ability to process or reason. In many cases, quite the opposite. Even the ones who make this a political issue have some truth behind what their saying. Dave Chappelle said the worst thing to call someone is crazy, because it's dismissive. I mean, was it reasonable or logical that as soon as many people got vaccinated, they wanted to take their masks off??? The CDC, regardless of their flip-flopping, told us in January that the vaccines wouldn't prevent you from getting COVID, and that you could pass it on to both vaccinated and non-vaccinated still. People didn't care, they did what was best for them individually, not the public interest. Now, despite people being told to put back on their masks, vaccinated people are not all doing it. So why is not getting vaccinated at all make other people seem less of a team player?

@@ydzi7537 Excellent points. To answer your last question, contrary to the current drum beat of the experts, I do not see those who choose not to get vaccinated as less of a team player; as long as they are taking other measures to mitigate the spread (masking, social distancing and hand washing). Vaccinated or not, it just makes sense that everyone should be doing this.

@@greenbyrd3665 I very much support what you're saying. As effective as vaccines are, we have to continue our due diligence when it comes to public safety, regardless of each person's vaccination status.

Our pleasure!

I prefer not live because I can pay attention better...LOL>

@@KarenHunterShow I have one of those Negro World's from August 1965 one of the articles is "Prospect for Negroes: Equality by 2022?"...by Leonard Broom and Norval D.Glenn p.76

@@KarenHunterShow the Overriding Question is what do we consider Equality?

@@KarenHunterShow Here's the context A Black woman led the Android App Dev team for Clubhouse ($4B valuation)...certainly a measure of Equality was demonstrated in her hiring...But Garvey would have declined that form of Equality in favor of creating our own App...especially given the size of the Nigerian market...JS

@@roqstone3752 is she getting a healthy piece of that $4B valuation? does that woman have ownership in the app? and what's her name? I'd love to chat with her.

Similar A Jamaican proverb…
