I could listen all day to Professor Karen Hunter ❤ and Dr Greg Carr ❤ 🔥🔥
You are not alone!!! Thank you for saying it.
Ah. Dr.Greg Carr and Karen Hunter, the Dynamic Duo!❤
Listen
Yes, I agree it’s a day to reflect and rebuild #Juneteenth ❤️🖤💚
Wow Dynamic Duo. Grand Rising and hello good morning 🙌🏾🙏🏾👏🏽💙 glad to hear and see you are well. This land has too much shed Blood it will never have peace, even reading is a crime.
What does freedom Look like too me? Being able to wonder about to explore to move freely without suspicion without eyes watching.
Of course. It is American history.😀
They did have a scheduled unveiling of a mural honoring Willie Mays which happened yesterday as well. I used to write for The Birmingham Times, the black newspaper rooted in that area, and it’s been great to see it look alive. I’ve taken my kids to tour The Negro League exhibits and to a couple of college “classic” type games over there and I don’t think they’ve EVER seen that type of crowd. I do want to get back over to see the renovations and, although I’d love to hear the medley Jon Batiste prepared to perform tonight, not sure I’ll make it. Hopefully it’ll be aired or streamed since it is a game 😊 (TMI 😅)
Absolutely Karen. The DOEs get a day off. HNaw
Actually I don’t think Juneteenth should be a national holiday
The ratification of the 14th amendment should be a holiday
And July should be the month of remembrance for The African Diaspora, not February
I wouldn't say reading was your guilty pleasure but a pleasant pleasure. ( Just sayin). Personally, l like what Dr Carr stated, it's what we do with it that should be of concern. it's should be a day of reflection of our past and the struggles. Although, make no mistake, we are still not free. Which means, until we have that freedom to follow our own passions, desires, and destiny. There will need some sort of restoration,(whatever that may be), to bring us back align with what and who we really are. Until then we will never be truly free.
😢Seems like only the descendants of emancipated Texans give Juneteenth its proper honor. Sadly, the ‘national holiday’ is the butt of horrible ridicule by YT nationalists and Black MAGA. Also folks trying to make it summer Kwanzaa. 😢
Let them ridicule what they want. What and how we decide to observe and commemorate is up to us and should be independent. Why do even we care wth they think?
It is important for us to have a conversation about how we should celebrate. As I was telling someone, we were celebrating this day before it was "official"
In my view, it's difficult to give Juneteenth the proper honor when so many of our young don't know much about it and truly don't know much of anything about their history in general and some don't want to know. Some of have a distorted view of time and believe we have had what "freedoms" we do for much longer than we have and that they are guaranteed to them without struggle or attention.
Would have been nice to run into him in South Carolina this week for Juneteeth!
I love hearing this discussion in knarrative/knubia and here. My thanks to you both for shining the light and leading the way! ❤
We OWE to all of ancestors to be GREAT in this life! WE ARE A MAJESTIC PEOPLE!!! ✊🏾
Isn't just a reminder of the oppression we've endured.
Love this conversation ❤
Good show. It was so ironic yesterday, while I was listening to my favorite sports radio show. The white radio personalities were off, and the black ones worked. They dedicated the show to Willie Mays.
Control of our own bodies, land, government and resources and the ability to defend them. More just form of government and laws. Laws that protect the environment because we go as the environment goes. Basic living wage and a maximum wage. No one person does a billion dollars worth of work. Land and resources belong to the people not four or five billionaires. Redistribution of the wealth that’s concentrated amongst a few people. Let me think on it some more…
I luvs me some Dr. Greg Carr 🤎🎖️
Grew up, currently live in TX and my opinion is certainly unpopular here, with all due respect to those who've kept the memory of Juneteenth alive, I've always felt that it is 1) a TX day, and 2) for commemoration, not celebration. There is something that doesn't settle well with me about celebrating late, state-sanctioned, faux liberation from the same government that made enslavement possible, and continues to make it possible under the Constitution. I also can't stomach the hypocrisy exhibited by putting a marker in the sand that this was finally the end of slavery and therefore should be nationalized, when we KNOW there were (and are) still legally enslaved black people in several states.
You certainly have excellent points. Brothers and sisters outside of Texas should commemorate in solidarity, in order to keep the true spirit. And the "national holiday" is bunk.
I thought it was Saturday morning😅#KNarrative
Freedom is having equality, freedom from the danger of racism, murder, abuse also reparations,
You better talk that talk bout the numbers Dr. Carr!! Thank you for that quick break down at the end!!!
No
🙏🏾💚❤️🖤💛
I had to immediately research the historic markers in Richmond, Va after hearing this clip. I will be sharing with family and friends who are totally unaware. Thank you both for your teachings and sharing the knowledge 💕
I believe the historical marker Greg was referring to commemorates Gabriel Prosser not Denmark Vesey as mentioned in the video. Prosser was hung in Richmond Virginia and Vesey in South Carolina.
Thank you for the information 💕
I still have a hard time celebrating something that should have never been in the 1st place.
The thought of my Ancestors being slaves INFURIATES me still and I’m not over it.
How many who choose/taught not to read? How many etched in there brains 1865?
The sadness is that in 2024 Galveston and most of Texas still needs a Juneteenth Awareness and Awakening! With Texas now having Voting Rights, why aren’t they utilizing it? You have the RIGHT To VOTE Now!🙄 If Colin Allred doesn’t overwhelmingly defeat the wimpy MAGA suck up Ted Cruz in November, it says a lot about the State’s citizens and how WS Fear is still a sickening political operative!😔
Why couldn't it have been a federal holiday just for black americans? We always have to share ours. I dont like my bigoted nonblack coworkers getting the day off too. Part of true freedom to me means having things just for US without having to share it with them or being told it's racist or divisive.
Yes a time to rebuild and reflect. Unfortunately I do no agree, I believe this should be a national holiday, everyone does not have access to you all nor have the knowledge or education, or like Dr Carr referred to the elders to teach and learn from. This is a time to teach the truth about our history, if this was not a holiday folks who don't know the truth history would not have the opportunity to learn. I was at a very, very large Juneteenth celebration in my city and most of the young people didn't know why they were celebrating nor did they know the true history we were able give out information that included book marks with the truth, plus a lot of more information about black history for free. Although may not be popular this are opportunities to teach the truth while fellowshiping together. And if nothing non melanated get to be reminded of these misgivings yet another time if they learn nothing they will be reminded on Juneteenth of their wrongdoings to us.
👍👍
I joined Fanbase over a year ago leaving Twitter (X). I went to Twitter today and it’s popping with Kendrick Lamar and about 30 men on stage. Fanbase, isn’t popping, what’s going on? Are we not supporting Fanbase?
We meaning Africans.
we aren't.
@@KarenHunterShow It’s hard to navigate through it. I did a search for you and 50 million white girls popped up. 😂 I’m trying to support black businesses.
@@coachdonnieb.420 I know...we have to be vigilant and don't quit. Keep sharing, clicking, liking, subscribing. Do your part.
@@KarenHunterShow I’ve been following you since 2019 on XM radio. I was reading between the lines. If you said “we aren’t”. That was enough for me.
I just have one question.
Why do we need to have a day to celebrate the end of slavery?
And to keep it one hundred slavery was steal alive way after that
@KarenHunterShow I believe the historical marker Greg was referring to commemorates Gabriel Prosser not Denmark Vesey. Denmark Vesey was killed in Charleston South Carolina.
There were a bunch of shooting
Which is the worst possible way to mark the day
