Don’t ever think a teacher has more influence than a rapper in a broken home
😢😢😢. POWERFUL STATEMENT
As an educator, can you say that louder please and add "dont ever think a teacher has more influence than a parent in a broken home who is not setting expectations for success.
The Poison is most accessible to the most vulnerable, therefore they act out
in the most extreme ways.
Great video as always and my takeaway is that I want to work at the State Dept! I love that this sister is traveling and destroying stereotypes. Her daughter is going to be just fine.
Growing up in Jamaica I learned this song. Watch your eyes watch eyes what the see,watch your ears watch your ears what they hear... We definitely have to be careful what we ear and see daily as adults much less our kids.. Kids nowadays are different and dealing with a lot so we as parents have to prepare them as best way possible for the world and trust the work we put into preparing them. If the kids are trained the right way at home then they'll be fine. It's starts at home. Always.
The thing about identity is that only the individual gets to determine how they identify. We can’t tell people how to identify.
It's not about telling anyone how to identify, the issue is why so many blacks want to identify with negative elements in black culture. At the end of this video even the guy said he hopes people still see him as a thug, even though he's a middle aged father.
Being soft can mean being wise and staying out of trouble. Being soft doesn’t mean being stupid. A business decision can be met with a business decision!
Nobody said being soft has anything to do with business decisions or being stupid. What are you talking about?
@@HypnoticHollywood if you spend just a few moments and think about what I’m saying you might come to a different understanding.

Former drug dealer the destroyer of the community hasn't given back to the community, to the addict's, rehabilitation of the community hope he gets caught up
I never forget that the media is the most powerful force weaponized against us!
We should never dismiss it's power and influence!
Yet I also feel and have learned in my journey through life, and my journey as a father. The seed you plant will take root if nutured and cultivated. That seed will bare abundant fruit and the tree will stand firm and strong.
The roots attachment to the soil will determine the life of the tree 🌳.
Because we stupid
Amen 🙏
Overseas we are american! People will identify us as that. The sistah is correct. There is an entire WORLD out here. Ameticans are waaay too insular and self absorbed. But there is a context. Tech circles are not the same folks as in other circles. But don was talking about social clubs or churches but not everyone is involved in black groups and spaces. I keep beating this drum. Younger generation is moving away from this and with technology we are becoming more individual.
If we dont find a way to meet these young people where they at we will lose them! With VR tech and AI socialization is becoming gaming communitues and online groups etc. And less church or local stuff. We all dont live in black enclsves. There are online fandoms now. Reddit groups where we socialize with people that fit into a niche of interest not race. Discord, twitch is where the teens are at
I have to disagree to a certain extent. I have lived in Saudi Arabia, London, and Dubai, working, not in the military. Black American's, as I cannot speak to black folks from other countries, are not seen as the real Americans, whites are. When we speak, we are seen as being from America, however, America is known as being white. That is why Trump can use the term, "Make American Great Again", because he is talking to white people about white people and all of the priviledged rights that they had, especially during Slavery and Jim Crow. The old adage applies here...."If you convince the lowest white man that he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice your're picking his pocket."
Also, media generally focuses on the fearful, negative things that are happening. You have to actively go and look for positive things in life... and find ways to create positive happenings.
I’m at the top of my game in tech! Honestly, Tech is the only way where black women has Equal Pay!!!!!!!! I make as much as the men!!!!!!!
No, I don’t necessarily feel racism In tech. I do feel sexism. Like I’m always on a team where I’m the only woman of a team of 15 men. But you know I can talk football and I can talk coding and I can talk caviar - so happy for you sis. That’s a good opportunity to meet those women in the Middle East.
Black respectability was important when we were 1st gaining access to certain spaces. You won't find many people who've never been around Black people these days.The problem is when people on the fringes both Black and White are influenced by these images.
Those isn't the fringes. We live in a very segregated society
I agree with you but are society isn’t as segregate as it use to be
As I take my young family out I see we are getting comfortable showing up drunk and high to spaces. If respectability is an extreme we are embracing the other end of the spectrum which is complete unrestrained irreverence.
@@Noir_Nouveau The pendulum has swung from Blk people feeling they needed to be perfect to some people putting no thought to their actions.
I have been around white people, my entire life, I have a friend of 35 years she’s a white woman. She never knew about Juneteenth (when they snuck that holiday on us). Now that was shocking to me, but then it’s not shocking to me, right?
I really don’t think sometimes we reveal “ourselves”when we’re not around our own.
What else is new? At one time drug dealers were some of the people making money in the community. We rightfully hated that because we feared it was the wrong example for our young. Now we are faced with this . After slavery, its evident that we are more resilient than some believe.
...but who are these so-called black conservatives pushing the Trump presidency? I don't get it. Most people in the know, realize that this ageism thing against Biden but not Trump is about the fear of Kamala Harris becoming prisident should something happen to Joe Biden....a black female president scares them to death.....If that happens, they will jump off of their flat earth to suicide themselves.

Our people!
Omi's right. Youth isnt carrying our baggage. Unfortunately, it doesn't mean there isnt a % of us that isnt dumbing down to media messeges.
The more diverse "culture" we're exposed to, the better our chances of not being swept up in an one toxic environment.
The extremes of American culture only exist in America.
culture is dumbing down if all we focus on is celebrity
Isolation can limit one to their self identity!
Your child (Omi?) is taking horseback riding lessons, your career includes travelling the world, and it sounds like you engage in regular conversations with your child. Don's children get complimented on their behavior and it sounds like he is also an actively engaged parent. More than likely, yes; your chlidren will be okay. Unfortunately, you are not the majority of the black community. I work in a school system where the median income is $24,000 for a family of four. It's not unusual for a parent to come to the school in order to fight a student or to punch a bus driver for not pickig up her kid. These are the kids I'm worried about. These children are not doing okay, and neither are their parents. It's a battle every day to try to combat the foolishness that's put before them by people who couldn't care less about the impact of what they are promoting.
they are more the norm than not...in fact, 74% of Black people are NOT impoverished. Of course, we must focus on those who don't have as much, but we also must stop parroting THEIR narratives about us.
@@KarenHunterShow Even though I think that Omi and Don are probably on the upper end of that 74%, I can also admit that the lens with which I view the black community is certainly impacted by the population I serve. I guess the question to ask is, does the promotion of a particular "art form" contribute to anything positive in our community? Is it simply harmles entertainment? Or as a respected sage often asks; How does it free us?
@@greenbyrd3665 I'm speaking to my radio audience (these are clips from the show)...my radio audience pays for radio. They are the demo that are very active in making things happen. So that may explain the disconnect here.
@@KarenHunterShow Understood. Appreciate you for taking the time to respond. 😊
@@greenbyrd3665 thank you for being open and being here.
I beg to differ; cultural governance has always been a massive part of the African American community. Look at the Harlem Renaissance, Motown, Soul Train, Allen Iverson, and his sagging pants. All of which have transformed the global view of who we are as a people.
Don got jokes! I did not know he was so funny 😏
I spent over 15years overseas. I've been to Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Syria, Egypt.(not as a military but as contractor) There is very little racism based of color. The reason being there were Kings (Amir's) same color as you and I. It is not as we experience here in the US. So, I have to agree with Ms Ms Bell. I am not in tech. But I felt more comfortable there then here. I have had the old and the young come up to me and thought I was from there. You'd be surprised!
When I taught elementary school in Abu Dhabi, there was a lot of racism against the dark skinned children in my school. I felt that I was only respected because I had an American passport. I was treated very well during the almost seven years that I lived and worked there.
A lot of older folk guess-ology going on here. What's needed is some representative research which captures the moral orientation of today's 20somethings versus past 20somethongs.
How can one have morals in a Capitalist society?

10:38-11:15 ... 💯% FACTS! 👍🏾✊🏾💪🏾 Why are the WOMEN that asked a question of a BLACK MAN shaking their heads when a BLACK MAN answers it? @ Karen Hunter! I want a reply and/or update after you ask every BLACK MAN that you know about what this Brutha said. Show them the clip. 😀 He ain't told one lie! 👍🏾
Yes
Great content. Don is right no Black man regardless of age is out here trying to appear soft. 😊That is just how we were taught to get down. Brothers that served in military, police, AI, tech, doctors, nurses, scientists, manager, blue collar worker, Walmart or McDonald’s we are the same. We carry that edge. Now of course you will find segments of brothers that refute or are the opposite of my statement. I bet they weren’t taught to be soft. 😊
What does "soft" mean?
@@kindofbluenyc Ok, perhaps soft is a bad choice of words. Whatever is the opposite of having an edge or at least appearing to have one.
Why are you playing? You know Soft means being educated, intelligent, articulate, can reason without using curse words, having impulse control, making wise decisions. Soft is Nerding out on math, science, engineering, inventing, finances, stocks… basically anything outside of video gaming and sportsball. Soft is not celebrating hip hop culture and mentality, not being monolithic or subscribing to group think. All the tech entrepreneurs and leaders of industry from Asians, East Indians, Europe, etc. are soft.
Our prisons and court systems are filled with the proud men who are not soft. This way of of thinking have brought us this far and we going to the moon because all we have is time. More time than other race so we can afford to waste it in our youth with wheel spinning in place or possible court system detours. Then point the finger at everyone else to blame but at least you are not soft.
@@Ded-Ede so, that’s your point of view but not quite what I meant. I meant not being able to show a tough side or edge regardless of your skill or chosen profession. Your statement is old old view of thinking that most brothers no longer have. That hardcore brother that goes to jail for dumb shit just because is played out. You are right the grave yard and prison system is full of them. When I talk about having an edge I’m speaking on the brother that can handle any situation. He can lead a power broker meeting, he can be a nerd, a pastor or military, but he knows how to carry /handle himself without getting his ass kicked or appearing soft. Soft is not knowing how to look or be the part even if you aren’t going to bust a grape. My point is today we (black men) teach our sons how to handle themselves even if they are a nerd. Thus have an edge when they need it to keep bullies and idiots up off of them. The ability to protect one’s family without ending up dead. In certain situations or around certain people you better have some type of toughness about you.

Some people are just gullible.
Professor Hunter, I'm curious what Don thinks of Tim Scott. Is he soft, or does he have a 'thug like' appeal? 🤔🤭
Stop playing 😅
lisas9462:. You can't be soft and be in politics. You can't survive it. That's a tough sport. Tim will do whatever it takes to try and attain his goals. Dr. Smith on the old tv series Lost in Space was formidable opponent although he came across as being very cowardly and soft.
She probably feels sorry for him. Self-hate is a sad thing to witness. The level of abasement he has demonstrated has been astonishing.
@Mimi_622 Do you feel sorry for someone in a domestic violent situation?

Everything is happening everywhere all at once. It's the same with people...every mindset, everywhere all at once.

Do we like the term MENA though? Is that Middle East-North Africa? More slicing and dicing?
Yes
