In this video, Dr. Daniel Black discusses his book, ‘The Coming’. Dr. Black discusses the book's origins, the reception it has received, and his thoughts on the current state of the world.
The auction block is the framing of black self worth. 🔥🔥🎤🎤
Exactly, Dr. Black!! I've BEEN saying that about sports for yeaaaars and slavery. They use your body until they are "finished" with you, then discard you like trash. Powerful conversation. 👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Let me tell you...that word about the auction block? The first time I saw the NFL Scouting Combine and the Draft, my spirit was troubled. (Jamaican, here...I had to learn and teach myself about this heah "American" football, as the rest of the world calls it.) After a bit, the words of a poem I had heard recited back in high school came to me:
"Ancestor on the auction block
Across the years your eyes seek mine
Compelling me to look."
That's the only part I knew...and everytime I see footage of any draft - NFL, NBA, etc. - these words come to mind. And I have NEVER been able to watch them...these modern day auction blocks.
Baba Omotosho is on fire! Fiyaaaaahhh!!!
Everytime he opens his mouth...jewels, wisdom, facts. Glory! 🥰
Professor Hunter, thank you for these interviews and asking the right questions. I exalt you both!🥰
it really does!
So many speechless comments. Some minds have been bent with this interview. My god! Professor Hunter, I exhalt you.
He’s seeing the God in others!! How can we claim to honor God and can’t see the Godliness in our own people? Powerful!!!
Well said.
Come in thru David.
Dr. Black reveals and heals ❤
I am going to share this clip with my 16yo Crown Prince tomorrow. While I drive him to school in the morning.
Power!!! Truly Powerful!!! What a blessing to realize we are/ I am beautiful 😍 🤩!!! This set something free in me that I didn't know was hindering me from living in my fullness and Glory!!! "Everything that the devil stole, God is giving back to me! Can't have my Joy! Can't have my Peace! Can't have my Faith!" --Dorinda Clark Cole
This spoke to ME. This spoke to ME. And I have to admit it's a foreign feeling to be present and remotely attuned to what truth someone is speaking and yet so removed from it.
I'm mourning the person I once knew or thought I knew but didn't think that identity could survive or be supported in the world of men.
This book AND Ms. Karen Hunter, y'all better stop it with all this truth, lol, up in through this here piece.
These revelations be having me in a flux for real..
I need to write MYSELF into beautiful with the quickness.
Boy that was good! Karen Please have Dr. Black on your show again very soon!
I am screaming in my house, listening to Dr. Black breaking down Black value and beauty!! Hallelujah! This IS Freedom!
Excellent commentary 👌🏾 He is correct- They wanted to erase our memory, but they lost on that. They tried to make themselves god, how delusional are those mfs still to this day?
Dr Black is reaching into my soul. Got me misty eyed. You blessed me!
Wow! "The framing of Black self-worth"
Karen Hunter I had to listen to the brother over again. Thanks.

welcome home...there's plenty here...go down the rabbit holes and find yourself.
Rhonda, you are Beautiful and we love you sister🙏🏽✊🏽!
Speak Dr. Black this is everything because some have forgotten the meanings of these Olde English words. Draft (financial definition)- It's a paper document that looks a lot like a regular cheque. The owners, NFL draft, the NBA draft = modern day auction blocks. Thank goodness we are remembering because forgetting is the most dangerous disease! Which is why they are fighting so hard for schools to teach their myth making!
“What up is for the grass”, I loved this entire clip
I am obsessed and cannot stop rewatching! 👁👁
NBA draft is the modern-day auction block...that was 🔥
Did he say: I exalt you, I magnify you, I lift you..., wow!? so powerful we must re-educate ourselves with love, beauty, and peace.
@Nizam Taleb I am a preacher’s kid (all folks ain’t church folks & may not recognize PK). An old one now. And, I recall a consistent agitation in the church when “BLESSING someone”…maybe the exact controversial phrase was “I will BLESS u”. The hushed but loud question was “how can any man BLESS another man? He ain’t God”. Yes, these questions thought us powerless 2 BLESS each other much less say it, declare it, own it, the power to edify😵💫!So Dr. Black would have been burned as a witch doctor (just joking) by my church affiliates back in the late 70s. I was affiliated w/ Baptist (born & raised) w/ strong ties to Church of God in Christ and many Pentecostals via tent revivals. By my early 20s, I was clearing my personal space of people w/ negative speech patterns that reflected clear MISEDUCATION… powerlessness has never been an option.
The generation of my parents did not want to strip us of value or beauty, but did not show favor or acknowledgment of beauty to avoid bringing attention to and risking losing those whom they value.
We are truly blessed to have Dr. Black with us. I thank all creation for this brother. I've never fully understood or been able to accept our obsession in particular with the sports entertainment industry. I was always told "oh that's just because you're a girl". Lies! This is the truest breakdown.
You intuitively divined the true meaning!
Pretty privilege we call it. And let's not forget the colorism and hair textureism that comes with it. I survived this because of the voices outside of my family--neighbors grabbing me aside when parents were not looking to tell me that I was indeed beautiful, voices on the radio, commercials on TV and in magazines even though those were somewhat tainted by biases. There were books I got to read by grace. I make it my business to do the same for other young people now. Just as I reacted, there is shock and a pull away from being startled with a compliment at first. Those are the ones you know never heard this before. You get sized up and once you are deemed safe, the softening comes and the shy smile and a "thank you." They skip on with a little more pep in their step and you are bursting with joy for them. To whom much is given... Keep teaching. It promotes good mental health and saves lives. I came up full of myself because of this "teaching" and it still irks some of my elders to this day. But that's not my business. I only wish they come to enlightenment before they transition. Til then, I keep watch over the young, dark ones coming up. Keep teaching. Give thanks.
This is true. Our words have impact on the youngers.
I recall elder women in Church telling me to stand tall and walk with poise, since I was 5'3" at 11 years old. I carry that gift with me today, though I have not grown taller.
@@jgq2881 A beautiful gift you were given. May you continue to carry it and pass it on. ❤️🌺🎉
@Nefer Atum 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾… Keep blessing our future.
There were a lot of pauses in your responses, Karen!! Believe me I share it because I had to walk around my apt listening to what he was saying!
Thoughtful, powerful, meaningful...this is an excellent start to the day.
A conversation I didn't even know I needed to hear. Powerful.
Dr. Black 🙌🏽
Dr Black 🤗👏👏👏👏👏👏
Brother brings words to LIFE! Fire from above, knowledge from above!
Agreed except I would say "from within" which means we can all access this knowledge of self, given the right conditions.
This is so true.
LOL "Had to put the Book down and Walk."
You better teach Baba Omotosho!
UA-camr Salkis Re speaks on the life of a ugly person. She is super intelligent and honest in her approach of being considered a "Ugly Girl".
3:24 and realizing someone brought you cheaply
Whew chhhhiillleee it's making make sense of how often I've allowed myself to be "brought" cheaply
Wow sis 😍 👏 Gracias so much. 💓 I'm so nourished and feeling amazed at today's topic.
Im gonna need Dr. Black to TEACH a word!!!
This scholar just sold a book today........Listen to what he is saying to us! Know your worth! How do we soothe the wounds of the undesireable. Wow, you look like God!
0:57 I'm so incredibly thankful for you both
Just hitting so so many nerves
Yes,this morning has me stunned listening to this. Had to stop in the middle and digest what was given. Love you,Professor Hunter... didn't know I needed this.
Mercy ❤❤❤
Good and awesome ppl, be BLESSED. Nothing can match this, you and him
(Dr. Black). I’m m so blessed to be in the space to receive this amazing message. So many answers to so many unknown question 😢. Being given instructions? We all beautifully made. I can go on and on but I must get the book 😢😅.
SPEAK
PREACH
TALK
TELL THE STORY
Love you Karen for creating and hold this space. ❤️❤️
Oooh Chile, this was CHURCH in so many ways. The words that aren’t used - how clear was that? There’s just so much bubbling up, ima sit with this for some time. Karen, ima take a walk. 🤯🚶🏾♀️
4:52 body language ahhhhhhh this is why we are somewhat clairvoyant as a people we can read the unspoken because we had to to survive
Ahhhhhh I'm getting it
** Apologies on taking y'all with me on this journey but these two walked into my life at a time where I can receive the message but it's a lot to take in **
This brother is HEAVY. His passion 11:32 reminds me of my beautiful brother! Listen, Karen I ain’t no stretch a “Hollywood Beauty” type but I always KNEW I was NOT ugly even when my weight got waaaay out of control. Pregnant I hit 225 lb…my baby was 9.10 something and 221/2 inches long so that’s a 3 month old that I birthed 😳…with no stitches 🤯 for real, but the 204 was many years later. Met up w/ my sister & cousin @ Bahama Breeze & u could see the WHOA in their faces & a young one told on 1 of them. I sucked it up like air. On our way out, 3 different men @ 3 different tables tried 2 get my attention. Not coy, I asked both of them if they saw the reactions “THE BIG GIRL” got or was I imagining the attention. We ALL 😂 & my sister said what she always said that “I was conceded”. We r now 55 & 57. I always new she was sensitive about her looks. & I always thought SHE was remarkable, beautiful. Lately we got into a heated 🔥 discussion & she is older & went to childhood insecurities. & I let her have 55 years of how much bull crap I thought that was. I’m in a struggle 4 my financial future & I refused the yoke of her insecurities @ that time. We promised to work it out on the other side of my journey BECAUSE I assessed her yoke was (and I stand by this but my approach/address was wrong) a distraction 4 me. & I needed all my strength. &…I needed her to love me from afar. I love her, I crave her…her approval, her encouragement, her every thing. But 4 the 1st time, I’m acknowledging she doesn’t know how 2 give it when it’s most needed. I shared w/ her that she was dangerous to me right now because she doesn’t/won’t/can’t understand the power she wields. Power that I have given her. I’m sharing waaaay 2 much. But on the other side which I pray will be soon, I have 2 see HER vulnerability. I have 2 see HER the way she sees HER to….help her feeling rejected while her sister is going thru & she wants 2 go. I’ve refused 2 give this any space in my 🧠 because I have limited energy & I have focused on what I need 2 execute. I need every one of his books & sis & I will get counseling so our relationship can reflect the love we have 4 each other. 🤯. I love y’all 4 sharing with us, with me. I’m not going 2 read over & try 2 correct any of this. I needed this & I need 2 marinate in it. 🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️🚶🏾♀️
Wow ❤
Thanks for this inspiration much needed for especially for us of African decent because many of us have been damaged by colonised minds that the standard of beauty is of European standards that of some of our people on the continent of Africa are white obsess I remembered during my sister "s funeral in casket was a fake picture of a white Jesus.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very thought-provoking!
6:10 so I ain't see the Colin Kap documentary but he explores this and though I'm not a sports person it resonated to me
And it resonated to me in my professional life as the token
I was a proud pick me, however I do not feel shame for being so - despite many in my community wanting me to - rather I understand the ingrained psychology behind it and have/giving myself grace from it
Y'all two gonna make me get my degree cause I don't have the education to express what I know to be true
This is why I honestly have issues with some of our current greats and want to extend cautious grace to the Candace Owens , I understand that pick me and being lost and it's a hell of a drug , but ultimately it will never sit right with you
I'm loving this inspiring and empowering conversation that you're sharing with Dr. Daniel Black, Prof. Hunter!!
It's all good!!🙏🏿🖤💯
I've been saying for years the price of slavery has gone up...especially for pro sports.
2:29 the auction block is really the framing of black self worth
Tell it tell it
Between your UA-cam channel and Knarrative/Knubia, my problem is I can't unsee what I now see (nor do I want to) and I am confused why others don't see it either.
it's okay...narrow is the road that leads to salvation...few will travel it.
@@KarenHunterShow I get it.
7:55 who didn't tell me I wasn't beautiful.........they never announced my beauty
Damn
Hmmmm!
I adore the word framing to inspire the upp lifting of the soul of black folks.
11:27 it's what we do not say
Mmmmm
Is there more of this interview, if so where can I find it?
SiriusXM
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🕯️🕯️🕯️
4:02 FffffFFFFFFF IVE NEVER EVER EVER really sat in the space of this experience
It's something I couldn't bear for most of my life
Mmmmmmm
BREATHE!!!
1:29 take ownership of it
......mmmmmmmm
Narcissism requires everyone to pat their backs. Take a laser pointer and fire the beam onto a wall, that's called coherence or 'speckle', it's far prettier than women.
