Funny how you never see people like this man all over media spaces speaking truth. As I've said before. AFRICA is the past, the present and the future . Thank you sis Hunter (A clean glass of water)
for using your platform to educate and enlighten us all ,and to spread truth across the world .For that you're forever blessed and highly favored by our ancestors and the creator. One 🖤
I'm "white" and Howard French speaks the truth - and I revere Professor Hunter for her sharp intelligence and boundless curiosity.
This man is a brilliant treasure. One of the Knubian family highly recommended this book and I just got it a couple of weeks ago. It is like the finest cordials, I take a sip, contemplate and absorb it and then come back for more. Absolutely required reading.
Speak truth, Prof. French, "there's no West, United States without Africa"!!👏🏾👏🏾
If ever there was an irrefutable, supporting argument for reparations, here it is!!
Thank you so very much Prof. Hunter for having this scholar on and inviting us to listen in on your exchange of wisdom nuggets!!🙏🏾💯
I’ve listened to this interview twice… it’s just mind blowing! I purchased my book!
Prof. Hunter, thank you so very much for again finding ‘Bricks’ and bringing them to educate your people. I will be forever grateful to you for the creation of multiple entry portals to feed us in spite of the malnourished education we’ve received over the years. Knarrative and Knubia are awesome safe meeting spaces to be fed. Thank you!
I spent a few hours reading different articles and definitions to get a better grasp about the “West” and here goes Howard French giving me some more. Can’t wait to get to his books which are on my list 🙌🏾
This is the 3rd interview about this book I‘ve listened to with Howard French now, and I‘m finally starting to understand the weight of this information and how revolutionary it is - and how completely wrong and twisted everything I was taught in school about history was.
Knwledge of CRT will lead to many learning these truths. Can't let this cat out of the bag! Thank you, Prof. Hunter and Prof. French for providing this information.
Thank you professor Hunter always learned something new from your interview like the professor you brought on even me as an African didn't know some of things even discussioned existed as always great discussion thanks.
After discussing the Malian wealth, did anyone else just take that in when he said Portugal was just trying to hold on with salt and dried fish. This conversation is everything. Ty Karen
Invaluable information by Howard French. I will get this book, some of this I knew but some I did not. We have been bamboozled lied to and still being lied too. People get your education NOW!!!##
WOW!!!Unbelievable!!!Professor Karen Hunter WOW!!! I'm so blessed for your existence, this platform you provide. Education and facts 💯, I love the quote "Glass of clear water".Keep doing you Professor Karen Hunter. I love everything you do. You know 62 years later I've consumed so much knowledge from your many platforms in such a short time.I would have conversations with others who are in my age group and they would say "How is it that I don't know about this knowledge ".Thankful for this bizarre "Information age" Again Professor Karen Hunter thanks a million.
Wow. Confirmation on that first part and research to be done on much of the rest.
brilliant talk. thank you so much.
Excellent interview
Wow, this is the history that every child and person needs to know by heart to make this world a better place.
This book is an eye opener. Thank you both. ✌🏾
Damn, I need a part 2 of this one right here. ! It has completely captured my attention!
I bought this book several months ago because of recommendation on In Class with Carr. Now , I am really intrigued. Thank you for a great interview. Mr French was up to the task.
Been reading Born in Blackness for the past month. It's an incredible complement to the rich histories we have, especially as we gain understanding in our own knarrative. That it starts in the 15th century builds a more whole context than popular narratives beginning with "boats arriving."
I've just got to say it. Karen, you are the smoothest woman in radio!
There you go again Professor Doer, I mean Professor Karen Hunter thank you for this. I had half of this information that Howard French drop here. Blown away! This book is a must have, whoa!
Purchased Mr. French's book about a month ago & just found this interview! Starting the book right after & THANK YOU for doing the heavy lifting, the research! Got the hard cover so I can keep, teach my children, family to counter the narrative that we hear about Africa not contributing anything of substance to modern society when in FACT it's the opposite!!
Goosebumps moment!!!
Fascinating interview! I have to listen to it again tonight and buy this book today. Thanks for the awesome interview Karen. You are a beautiful, smart lady!
Thank you, Augustus B!
Next on my reading list.reading evil genius now
Good show. Now that the scientific and technological communities have done the world a solid, let's stop complaining about what schools do and do not teach and learn to pillage the library!
Prof. Hunter thank you for this space to acquire the missing parts of our history. Each seating at these tables, inevitable I say, "I didn't know this!" Or "Why didn't our know this?!" Words can't express my gratitude!🖤🤎♥️
Great interview. Thank you. Another must read book.
Am reading this as we speak. It’s brilliant.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. BORN IN BLACKNESS is my February read.
Thanks so much for this program. What a find, thanks to one of my Sisters that I hold in great esteem she advised me to come to your channel and check out your interview with Prof Howard French. Thanks so much. I have hit the subscribe button. Thank You!
Wonderful!
My friend Kathrine who did subscriptions for youth to knarrative, hipped me to this book... grateful
A few days late to this wonderful conversation with Howard French..who I admire greatly..will be getting his new book Born In Blackness soon..Thank You... Karen Hunter, for having Howard French on your show...!!
I am enjoying reading this book! First, make sure you purchase it from a Black owned book store! Second, sit back and rediscover your rich history!
Awesome👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I’m listening to this while working, but I cannot continue. I’m no longer working as I find myself so engaged in this conversation. Thank you. #Gratefulfortheknowledge
Professor Karen good morning and thanks for sharing and to Mr. Howard French thank you sir, shalom and kudos.
I must read "Born in Blackness". It sounds like a fascinating book.
Thank you for having Mr French on your program, Professor Hunter.
Wow, this interview was OUTSTANDING!
This was an AMAZING interview. Thank you Prof. Hunter. Definitely plan on getting this book.
Thank you for this insightful interview and history lesson. A book that must be in every home library. Peace.
Thanks Prof. Hunter 💐❤️
bought it a year ago, finally reading it now - ty unc and sis
Wow a “mustard seed” equivalent country is where it starts! Truly liberating ❤️🤎🖤 I often wondered how a richly culture driven humane people could fall for the okie dokie. Logically they did not. It took and continues to take those NOT rooted in any ritual/culture based society to seize them, thru inhumane asset duplication literally! Thank you Mr French for your contributions for Us by Us and Professor Hunter you asked that question where did it start. I Luv U ❤️🤎🖤👊🏾✊🏾🔥🔥🔥. #WeAreOne
Great information!
I agree w/ him..DIG DEEPER
I just started reading this book! I heard Dr. Carr suggest it #inclass. Thank you Prof. Hunter!
Thank you so much.
This is going to be included in my home library and I will be sharing it as a gift to our pups! Thank you Mr. French. I think you may be related to my family by way of Versailles in the Show Me state. Thank you for ALL of the things you have committed to script and the work you are going to do in the future.
As usual Dr. Hunter, you affirm that when you change the way you look at things the things you look at change! If you think of anything this Light Sculptor in the Show Me state can do to make your day better, just drop me a line. Your work has been and continues to serve great refinement to my visual literacy behind my camera!
Excellent interview!
Thank you Karen! I ordered his book before the interview was over!
Excuse me, Professor Hunter!🙂
We are family...you can definitely call me Karen.
Excellent interview will read this book🌋
Wow another great interview. I've shared it and recommended it all my friends
Wow!..this true information makes a lot of sense....seeking truth should be our goal.
Wow, what an amazing conversation!
This book need to go to every school every adult to teach there kids immediately!!!!!!
I recommend reading "Black Tudors" Miranda Kaufmann. If you want more on African peoples role in the Middle Ages etc.
The ancient Egyptians KNEW that the world was ROUND. We (the Africans) did not have to wait for the Arabs to tell them that Fact!!
Amazing interview!
Outstanding program 🤗
Once again, this is the best!
So am I understanding clearly? I was Portugal that created the concept that others copied and added to? Howard French, I have not heard of so AGAIN Thank you Professor Hunter.
This is excellent. As always
Oh man Professor French definitely connected some dots. The Portuguese set it off and the rest of Europe come sniffing around for the gold. I needed this convo. and this professor back when I was in high school. They spread so many lies in K-12 public school.
West Africa was doomed the day Aisha uttered these words to her young king son Boabadil / el Boabab. " Do not weep like a woman, for what you couldn't defend as a man"
Black men need to stop crying over what's lost and focus on the future. I'm 60; and I have been waiting a long time for a forum like yours that brings the history of the journey of Africans on this planet. I probably won't be around to see it bear fruit, if indeed it does. 🙏🏿
It is already bearing fruit...and thank you for your support.
@@KarenHunterShow Don't neglect the Caribbean; UWI needs visiting Professors like you and Dr. Carr. UWI should be considered an HBCU.
❣💯❣
Ordering my book right away
When he started to explain the "European Grand Strategy" it was like somebody punched me in my gut & shook me at the same time 😒
The ancient Egyptians, Mr. French, knew that the world was round. Dr. CharlesS. French lll mentions this map that was found and was created in Egypt in one of his books.
Eye opening
We need someone to make a movie about Mansa Musa.
@ the end..he's talking about the IMPLEMENTATION of "The WORLD bank" & "The I.M.F."..
Berlin Conference 1884-87... The carving up of Africa among the European powers.
The sad part Karen is this rich knowledge will go over most of our people's head's but w got to keep knowledge and truth going 💯
Perhaps...but you never know who will awaken and when, so we have to keep feeding people.
Side note: Zaftig 😍
*I love Karen Hunter/The Karen Hunter Show. OK. Bye.*
Hi!
The more I "Engage" to You Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr
The more you become my Sister and he, my Brother. Thank you for acknowledging Family, see you at the cook out.
*Can we push for posthumous convictions the way they posthumously pardon our ancestors of crimes they were innocent of? I want charges brought against Thomas Jefferson for vape.*
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So Ms. K how did you get your show up and going, I mean if you are not feeling like it’s too probing may I ask?
What show?
Yes, the Portuguese enslaved the MOoRs.
Please tell me there is more on this on Knarrative!
This is a SiriusXM interview. I won't use their content in Knarrative.
@@KarenHunterShow I figured. I ordered his book last night and shared this clip with friends. A very informative interview! Thank you!
Mansa Musa of Mali became king because his brother Abukari II abdicated his throne to Mansa Musa to become an explorer. Abukari II took thousands of ships and men on a voyage across the Atlantic ocean. He got to the Americas a century before Colombus. There is skeletal remains of Africans older than Colombus time in the Americas. History has been written by insecure liars.
But, didn't the Africans notice how the captives were treated in the slave dungeons before they were shipped off? According to what Karen said and I've heard that you can still smell the carnage after hundreds of years later. It seems that maybe the African nobility would've noticed something was wrong from that point. ijs
You'd Think.
But those Africans didn't see one another as the same. They saw them as less than and therefore couldn't relate to what was happening to them as something they would ever have to endure. Yt folk understood the power of coming together under one banner...and that (and their brutality and lack of humanity) became their superpower. We MUST do that (come together under one banner...BLACKNESS) BUT WITH HUMANITY and LOVE!
To slightly expand.
Africa is a continent with people. Powerful people of all races can be and are often corrupted by power. There was also a fear that enslavement WOULD happen to those who fought back. Still many people groups did fight back and some were led by warrior women.
Enslavement existed within Africa prior to colonialism. This usually involved domestic service for a period and could happen if you were captured in war or sold by your own people for committing a crime (this was a more extreme punishment though)
Africa essentially used slavery in place of our modern day prison. Enslaved people still spoke their own language, their children weren't enslaved and they still had human rights. So this was a bad that got much worse with Europeans.
Some groups were trading with Europeans before enslavement. These groups saw opportunity for riches and many ignored the suffering of other Africans.
Colonization however destroyed many legacies so even that early greed didn't often pay off.
@@KarenHunterShow Yes I agree.
@@Rabbittavo Very interesting.
