Dr. Kunjufu has been consistent in his message for 40 plus years. A true giant in the community. Thank you for posting.
@Carama Gambino You have certainly said a mouth full! I would agree with you that many have become comfortable and complacent with things as they are. Not likely to change.
Many have just resigned themselves to this unjust system. Dr. Kunjufu's observations and findings have proven to be true as well as others like Michelle Wallace, for example. Laws, policies, etc. show this as well. In fact a "lock-out" in society, if you will. Reading AND observation are very important in keeping one informed. The struggle continues in enlightening MORE of our black people, especially FBA's. Realistically, we cannot "save" everybody, we can only reach individuals that collectively want change.
@@septiawoman2911 So very true. We are in our own pandemic of hopelessness right now. We must find a way to begin to help ourselves, so that we can fight for much needed systemic change.
I stumbled across Dr. Kunjufu listening to Malcom x... thank goodness for social media cause it helped me find inspirational speakers while seeking new visionaries with the same messages but taught different ways!!!
@@mikemcdonald6004 Yes, it is wonderful to have these lectures preserved. Dr. Kunjufu is definitely dropping gems.
I was 38 when I first heard him and his message was what I needed. My teachers hated me, never called on me, always got in trouble, sent out of class rooms. I never understood, as I got older I can't help but think it was because I had the answers, my mother taught my how to read before I went to school.
I ended up running a 'gang' my senior year and ended up in and out of jail for myself 20s. I had to cure myself from criminality, identity crisis and depression. I grew up around white people and never seen a black person in a positive role outside of the military and church.
Brotha I commend you for making it out👏🏾 Communities need brothas like yourself to come back and mentor the youth.
how did you CURE YOURSELF?
Good for you! 🎉 Now you can be a mentor and help a young man with a story similar to yours! ❤
I'm just seeing and hear about this man and I'm 56 . 😢 it a shame this surly would help me in my younger days even in being with a black man I would have picked more wisely . Smh
25 and the same story man. Just got out a couple days ago and fighting the case. I’m trying and I got a good head on my shoulder but trouble seems to find me. I’m hoping to make the change full circle though but it’s a war.
@15:56 Dr Kunjufu explains that Black children MUST be taught:
1) self esteem
2) Cutural Esteem
3)Relationship with God
4) Academically self sufficient
5)Fundamental Principless of Economics:
• Entrepreneurship
• Stock Market
• Real Estate
Do you think educational institutions still help?
@@DairangerSentai7 sorry but, if u have missed it, the Ultimate Institution for education is your House.....
The same things umar johnson fight for
Relationship with God first.
And black males in there children life's black male teacher,
I saw his other video on “The Conspiracy...” and I’ve been in love ever since! A true hero of mine!
Bruh, same here. I immediately start back a relationship with my nieces and nephews before it's to late. I was woke to the 3 power. Lol.
Paul Bennings likewise!!! Powerful man of knowledge
Same. The knowledge 🎯
@@DjAlexMiamiDj i dont think this applies to just black kids anymore its an attack on all fronts i want all americans to be educated personally
I was fortunate to be principal of three schools with African American male teachers at the elementary level. One school had 11 African American Males employed in every area of school operation, three of which were elementary teachers. I found Dr. Kunjufu on the shelves of the Mervyn Sterne Library at the University of Alabama at Birmingham when I was a student. Several of his books are in my home library. He is a staple in my canon.
Dr. Kunjufu is a person who tells the truth and is real about the importance of God, our image of us as a people and our need to see what is happening to our children.
I read a lot of the this man’s books while I was raiding my son. They helped me a whole lot. I am most grateful for the brother.
We adults need this man as much as our children and thank God for still being here and looking strong and well.
Dr Kunjufu is LEGENDARY. Much respect to this great living scholar.
This guy is Amazing. where the hell has he been all my life?
The majors made sure he was never made..."famous"
I found him in bookstores
@@lorrainefoster1320I found him on youtube.
& the powers that be launched a covert
massive major suppression campaign
simultaneously , . . . .???
that's exactly what they did
I saw this man in Columbia, SC as a young teen. ( I couldn't possibly grasp the importance of such a powerful warrior then)
I DO NOW!!!
I remember my mom making me watch this man back in 1996!!!!! #ThankYouSir!!!!
I appreciate you for this video. This dude is one of those people who unfortunately we are going to appreciate him more after he is gone. He needs a bigger platform.
He and other African Americans of his ilk need more attention than Celebrities, Actors and Athletes. Just my $.02
He is making me feel like their is another year in me to teach directly although the ability to do nonprofit mentoring will be a transition... I can continue teaching in different forms... My approach will change in these five ways
1) more parent contacts with educating them
2) motivating black/minority children by installing pride in image
3) Being a coaching not just being an instructor(not athletics more academic approach of teaching)
4) Begin transitioning into mentorship programs
5) Provide support for more teachers on my team
Thank you Dr.Kunjufu and the channel very inspirational and informative
I wish I had known about Mr. Kunjufu's work a long time ago. However, I will purchase all his books to give to my adult kids and grand kids, and some. This books will make great gifts as well.
Dr Jawanza Kunjufu your hard work of inspiration in the African American community is truly appreciated.
This man is brilliant! His video on the conspiracy on black boys on RUclips was incredible! Brilliant man
MG FACTS I bought all three books
Yesss Sir! Have you seen the other one on positive self images for black children and the one on peer pressure... black or white? Dynamite!!
WOW!!! SO VERY GLAD THAT THIS AWESOME BEAUTIFUL BLACK MAN IS STILL HERE AND FREEING THE MINDS OF OUR PEOPLE! THANK U REELBLACK !!!! GOD BLESS!
He is my roll model. I am in college now to teach high school. Can’t wait to use all his tools
Proud of you
What a brilliant and consistent man. He’s been doing this since he was a vibrant, young man.
Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu is indeed a master teacher and one of the best scholars besides Dr. Amos Wilson.
We need more like him. I remember seeing him when I was a kid. I'm so glad he's still sharing his message.
I live Dr Amos Wilson
The best scholars can't turn this demon around. We need Devine intervention.
This guy is nowhere near the level of Dr Amos Wilson. The fact he promotes Miseducation and the Whitemans religion is comical. Miseducation of the Negro personified.
This man is AMAZING! He respects all ppl but speaks so much knowledge.
Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu aged but not his mind. Sharp as ever!
Dr. Jawanza is such a powerful educator. I'm so glad I learned about him, and wish I'd heard about him years ago.
I feel like there's too many of us in our community who just wanna sit around daily watching RUclips of people put up videos Interviewing the Greats who actually are out here doing something for the Community to make a Real Change. There's not enough of us working in the community as Teachers feeding homeless running businesses owning property raising Healthy Families etc. We should ALL be doing the Work not sitting around watching RUclips. Thank you Mr. Jawanza for your Hard Work and Commitment to helping and Educating and actually working with our Children and Parents Daily Changing LIVES
GiGi I agree action is needed!!! But many in our community lack this fundamental knowledge of why our families, children and communities behave the way we do!!!! I’ll never forget a financial counselor told me “education WITH implementation “ ; I agree action is needed!!! Along with continuing to learn and spread knowledge like these messages from Dr. Kunjufu.
I disagree.
Thousands of us feed cloth and teach the low income and homeless. The problem is the ignorant out number intelligent
@@jojosaylor8996 / Been more women being birthed then men since 1965 aka the civil rights movements... So who's the ignorant...🤔🤔🤔
@@henrybiggs3113 You miss her main point. With all love and respect, watch Amos Wilson's YT video, "Black male female relationships." Blaming the very predictable symptoms of social engineering will not solve the problems of descendants of American chattel slavery. The mission is to solve problems to bring about a just world that guarantees absolutely no one is mistreated.
@@artman2119 / How narcissistic...🤔🤔🤔 I didn't even dispute her point @ all... I simply don't believe perspective in the reality amongst us... The same way I understand the simping wanting to correct me for her...💯💯💯 Unrealistic is unrealistic... The problems of the black communities is a masonic one... One that for some reason remains hidden in plain sight & can not be unlearned... Gender wars are useless, because statistically, there's more soldiers on one side that the govt & laws clearly support...👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I still refer to his books. I'm glad he's doing well.
There’s a need for more black male teachers!!!
His work had a huge impact on my life, my sons and, my students.🙂👋🏽👨🏽⚕️
Good video. it compels me to think of a book my late father would reference by Carter G Woodson. Miseducation of the Negro
Dr. Kunjufu I just wanna thank u😍🤗😁
SALUTE THIS BROTHER A TRUE PROPHET SCIENTIST DR. GOD KING TEACHER PREACHER CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH SEER & ORICAL, THAT I THINK NEEDS MORE RECOGNITION ONE THAT KNOWS ME & MY KIND THAT I HAVE NEVER EVEN MET PEACE LOVE & BLESSINGS TO HIM & HIS FAMILY & TEAM SO GLAD TO SEE THAT HE IS STILL WITH US!!![999]
Just checked out 4 of his books on this very topic from the library!!!!! Cant wait to learn how to do bettr as a mother to my black teenager
Amen
I applaud you! We need more people like you
Keep going. Never stop. Your hard work will pay off mama. Always remember He’s never too old for hugs, kisses and I-love-yous! 🙏🏾❤️
Ask him to do a video about the destruction of black intimate relationships
Talk about it. Do you think BLM has helped or not?
Thank you , I heard Dr Kunjufu in 1975 as a 6 grader Garrett Morgan school, Chicago. I never forgot the message.
I learned more about black HIStory in prison then the school.
I read my first Full book in prison.
Sad to say but I learned more my 5 years then school,role model,etc.
At least you used your time wisely and as we say down south "put some fat on your head". I have a bachelor's and have been unlearning a lot that i was taught. Independent research is important.
They learn about slavery part of history about learning whole scenarios
Makes me think of Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu’s messages regarding the reasons why the destruction of Black boys exist.
God bless you for your works may everyone that hear this amplify your voice through our communities.
Time for an updated video on this topic.
Today is the first time i have heard if this man in my entire life i am thankful i ran into his documentary video today Wow
Yes I remember his lectures,intelligent and informative.a true Legend
"To be popular or Smart" is what really helped black community than any.
I remember when Dr. Kunjufu came to my elementary school in the 90's
Lucky
the curse of low expectations
Hmmm...there is a political party campaigning on that. I wonder which one it is?
We need you to spread your knowledge once again. .please..
Thank you reelblack for sharing this powerful up lifting video. I wish that I had known of Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu decades ago. Though I am glad that I left Chicago in 1983, I am deeply sadden that neither his name or his amazing body of work was never mentioned by any of my Black professors in the Black Studies Department at San Francisco State Univ. , or any of the Black educators that I have interacted with who work with Black children, teens and adults or even the Black educators within my family.
I do not understand how I never stumbled upon any of his books.
Well, I look forward to reading Dr. Kunjufu’s books and sharing his message.
I am also excited to share and recommend your reelblack channel.
💐💐😁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤗💐💐❤️🖤💚👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
🙏🏽Special Blessings🙏🏽
Sadly, the premise of the enemy is, "if you want to keep a black person from knowing about a given subject? Put it in a book." White supremacy wants us to internalize THEIR perception of "black history." At any rate, I am elated that you are aware of brothers like Dr. Kunjufu.
Breezy Akanan peace i hear him before but my high school teacher didnt mentions him because he was a threat or my teacher didn't want us to know the real truth peace
7:23 fall in love with reading.
Dr Kunjufu he is a great teacher, Professor, counselor, great man this is a excellent interview. He is also a Pastor. Such a humble man
Omg! This brother is still alive!!! We need a redux on those old videos
I love this man!!! This should go viral, be on every major news network and social media platform!! Thank you for sharing!!
he who seek, shall find
Thk u for this legendary interview…critical guidance for preserving our race.
I'm 53 years old and I would love to be in class with your guest learning everything he knows. 🙏
God bless you, Dr. Kunjufu. Thank you for your relentless dedication 👏 🙏 🙌 ❤️
I've always been a fan but two things stood out to me: 1. He's been at this for over 40 years and nothing has changed. Maybe it's time we change our approach of trying to change a system never designed for us 2. Isn't church and religion one of the biggest detractors from our progress? He's trying to figure out why Black men and boys don't attend church. Why don't we have more faith in ourselves?
Believing church is part of your oppression, is part of your oppression.
Thank you so much. I have been studying this topic for a while. I do believe that black teachers were taken out of the schools as a result of integration. I have been saying this for so long. I do not share it usually because it sounds to the uninformed, racists. However, as an educator an a legal scholar, I have witnessed the impact of myself on black students and other African American educators on the black student. There is a narrative that society wishes erased. But we fight on and do what we can in the "corner" where we are. I also appreciate that he allowed you to share his video.
It's true. Integration took the jobs of many black people.
I came across his video a few months ago n I tell u I wished I had know of him then but thank God I’m listening now
Amen
Thank you brother Dr. Jawanza kunjufu❤🤗
I have had one of his books for over 20 years...all facts.
Great video! Thank you for sharing this
Thanks for this
Amen🙌🏾💚💚💚 been following since OG Front Page KJLH
Unlike Umar Johnson, who does little for the community, Dr. Kunjufu has been doing the real work and generating legitimate solutions for decades.
Brilliant!!!
Love this guy.

Very intelligent Man,
All this magnificent points of research and life style Dr

Awesome 👍🏾
The is so motivating
Dr Kunjufu I just found you. GOD BLESS YOU! MUCH LUV. I'm going to pass you on and get your books.
Hey thank you for this and we need a follow up
4th grade is when students take standardized test.
💡💯
I appreciate you dearly for uploading this information and caring enough to do something! Through the lack of knowledge and science you keep a people oppressed !
You are so welcome!
Excellent
Dr jawanza kunjufu is the best and I got his book call black economics solutions for economics and community empowerment peace God keep doing your thing
Shaid Muhammed books are great
our Legend our hero as the black family
Sadly, I think we've been programmed to not trust grown men around young children, and especially Black grown men. We're trained to believe we need the nurturing female teacher to train young children in critical subjects (Math, Language Arts, etc). I'm black and grew up in urban Brooklyn and Queens, and didn't have a male (non-PE) teacher until the 6th Grade. Never thought about that before, but it's wild.
Telling the truth
living legend
Amazing man💪💪💪💪
