    When I talk to my Christian family that science and religion are one, they still look at me like I’m nuts. This separation of the two is part of the trap. Same as the separation of Blackness from Africanness. Blows my mind.

      Daniel was chosen by God who are Israelite. We are smarties people on earth.🤔
      Let God Speak:
      “And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes; Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
      Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
      As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
      And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.”
      ‭‭Daniel‬ ‭1:3-4, 6, 17, 19-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    Man, the beginning of class today spoke to me. If I were to build a curriculum from scratch, the two things students would be required to learn are 1) a skill that is useful in the job market and 2) Black history and a sense of self.
    Although I'm a little late to the liberal arts/humanities party, I wouldn't change my development of skills in the areas of product development, monetization, and audience building for the world. It feels great to know that I can pretty much create anything that I want and that I have a good chance of making it successful.
    But, I think that if I had a greater sense of my history growing up, I would have valued the work that I was doing more in the upliftment of the Black community. No matter what the learned skill is, I think it becomes more valuable to the person if they know how they fit into the greater whole. This is the reason why I love Saturday school.

    Even in my youth, I always questioned the "Big Bang" Theory. Why? How does a violent explosion create such imperfect perfections? Meaning we're (including all earthly things) not perfect but we are in creation sense we are. Plus, anything violent, added with an explosion, destroys not creates. Only a violent mind would conjure up a violent beginning that they did not bare witness to. Big props to Dr. Carr for bringing up the quote from Dr. Clarke in regards to looking at African history as your beginning.

    I watch Black is King every morning. You learn something each time you watch it. Watch with captions on, listen, look up things and enjoy! It literally talks about everything that you all just discussed. Identity, listening to our ancestors, astrology and cosmic beings. The soundtrack has been out for over a year so if you listen to the soundtrack and know the Lion King - it merges beautifully in this one story with one theme - Black takes no L to anything just as Dr. Carr stated. A message that our Black men need to learn of themselves and know the power is within.. Our relationship with God, the stars, water and this planet existed well before there was ever a written Bible. I say that as a Christian. Not to mention the showcase of African artists and dance! 🖤🖤🖤

      YES! YES! YES! I have so much to say, that that's ALL I can say right now.
      The negative or dismissive attitudes and in most cases the ignoring of this work altogether IS A SHAME!
      The album should've been a discussion piece and a hit record already.
      I think detractors and people who let it slip under their radar, altogether, just aren't vibrationally or psychologically ready to accept actual BLACK excellence.
      It's one thing to simply use that phrase as a hashtag, it's another to actually see:
      1. Real Black wealth
      2. Serious Beauty
      3. Major talent
      4. Empowered, prosperous attitude
      5. Million Dollar production
      6. Cultural Swag
      7. Spiritual Message
      8. Ancient/historic research/truth
      9. Banging Tracks
      10. Beautiful, audacious, vanglorious display of "Blackness"
      And for alllll of this to come from Beyonce. They can't take it! How dare she be beautiful, talented, wealthy AND talk that talk usually reserved for people that are frankly still struggling ("stay in your struggle"🤣) and do not present as fabulously.
      She and her family actually embody the principles of the "...we were the first..." "we were rich"... "we were this and that..."
      But when that "LIVING WORD" in the form of a Black Family filled with Black Artistry and Black Wealth and Black Community is in their face, it apparently shines to bright for most.
      WE ARE THE LIVING WORD. Asante Sana Beyonce!!!!!!

      I'm proud to call her my BIG little sister.
      And for a high yellow chick with the 'good' hair to write an homage, a love letter to us, her Brown skin sisters?! Fugetaboutit. Can't nobody tell me 'nuthin 'bout that girl.
      Don't be mad cuz she's giving you "Miriam Makeba meets Dominique Devereaux meets Diana Ross meets Tina Turner"
      She's giving culture with gla--MOUR dahling. As it should be. Save that dusty, "I'm about Black liberation and Black history so I'm poor" non-sense.
      Poverty and mediocrity and dinginess and ugliness and raggediness and being angry all the time are not of GOD!
      If we are made in the image and likeness, and should therefore call ourselves... "...all ye are gods"

    Karen Hunter I love your conversations with Dr. Carr. After every episode I recall asking the same question, "if the only race on earth is human, why do we continue to refer to ourselves as black and white"? I wonder how in-depth Dr. Carr would delve into this topic.

At the moment I'm reading, "Spirituality before Religions, Spirituality is Unseen Science... Science is seen Spirituality" by Professor Kaba Hiawatha Kamene. I recommend this volume to anyone, but especially a newcomer to Afrikan history & spiritual thought!! Sister Karen & Brother Greg, you two are "Super Heros", ha!! By the way the word "hero" comes from the Kemetic (Egyptian) word Heru, which most know by the Greek, Horus!! Everyday is a good day but some days are better than others!!

    I really love this show, thank you! Thank you a million times! I appreciate your thoughts on Black is King. I would like to add that it is really a music video montage and the audience is the youth of our time and that is why it may seem over processed - it was curated that way. I am young enough and ignorant enough of what she was trying to show us so I wasn’t overwhelmed by the visual, I didn’t overthink it. It was a masterpiece. I feel on the surface she is able to show the masses that we have all these beautiful layers! Beyoncé deserves all of her flowers bc she is always getting better!

We must wake up and realize the game been played on the Africans race all over the planet. And it is still being played on us daily. It dressed up now and we have become comfortable living in the game.

    I love all of these discussions, especially this one where he discusses Ebonics. I studied this extensively years ago on a Watson fellowship as an undergraduate and lived in Cameroon to study the roots of pidgins, and the creolization by Africans of European languages. My wife is a native creole speaker from Guadeloupe and learning about this Africanized "french ebonics" has shed even more light on the universality of how Africans have approached bringing African meaning and tonality to a foreign language that we were forced to learn. As a graduate student now, these talks energize me toward future study topics. Thank you both and abundant blessings.
