Realizing the truth of these words as my oldest boy gets older. He needs black educators now.
@@SexiPlaygirl1983 Those white teachers don't love him, can't reach him and don't want to...amd are actually managing him downwards. You get me?
Exactly that's why school is a white man game
@@iamnotpablo it's all bout a paycheck to these teachers
@@gwise8095 No love!
I’m in fifth grade , I’m watching this because I’m trying learn something true
Good job for getting the head start. A lot of people really start to learn when they are done with school.
Very sharp. Stay hungry for knowledge!
My advise to you would be to stay away from fake foods and #fakewoke people. They both provide no nutritional value.
Wise are you! Keep learning and seeking out the Truth- not only for navigating this current world but spiritually- Seek The Most High God and his Truth- ( His Laws which are found in the first 5 books of the Bible) remain in place to this day and if you can learn and apply that to your life you will understand you have it all by inheritance. Love to you and your family and May you be blessed by The Truth.

I was so blessed to have my father in my life until I was 51 years old. He was married to my mother the whole time. It made a big difference in my life.
God bless your parents for being married all those years 🙏
It makes me so sad to know THIRTY years later, our parents and grandparents knew the answers to breaking our generational curses and ignored them because it was inconvenient to them.
They were seduced by integration
Heart breaking honestly they allowed the chains to be tightened hopefully our generation wakes up before it’s too late
Whew. This the one that got me.
@Yasharahla Israel No stop using religion as an excuse for the lack of action of the black community to better the coming generations. We have the ability to simply be better peopel and we continuously choose not to. The fact that they wanted to be uninvolved parents has nothing to do with jesus.
@Yasharahla Israel Christianity is a part of the curse. Sorry. God is not some Greco-Roman white guy that allowed Africans to be enslaved then he sent whites to free us

And we are seeing so much of it today.
@@terryrichmond4723I thank God that mine did!
42 years old and just found out about this man and his lectures in year 2022. I am a father of a 7yr old black boy too. This lecture is so on point 35 yrs later. I have been shaking my head listening just amazed how he broke everything down and how everything remains relevant tdy
You are lucky and blessed to have found him while in the midst of raising your son. I didn't hear of these things until mine were raised. My son turned out ok as he went to Duke on a full academic scholarship and is now an engineer. However if I knew then, what I know NOW. He'd be a Conscious engineer. You only get ONE chance to raise your children. I tell him what I can now but it's not the same impact. The only way adults become enlightened is because they WANT to and are searching OR life slaps them upside the head...lol. I was the latter. Better late than never in this case. Blessings to you and your family.❤
Why critical race theory teaching should start in 7th grad thru 12th grade. It is NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER
Yesssss, exactly! Your reaction is my reaction and I'm just 17 minutes in!
I'm 47. My mother had this book in our library since I was a kid.
Yes indeed I needed this when I was 12, that’s when things start to change in my life I was caught up in craziness and nobody was saying a word! 😡
His teachings need to be part of every black home

The reason you have so many black women saying they don’t need a man is because unfortunately many black men have taken in this European view of male female relationships This view is one of I’m the man I’m superior you’re the woman you are inferior.”Where is it is my understanding that a mini African relationships men and women definitely have different roles, but the women’s role is not degraded. This is a big part of the reason black women Are kind of doing their own thing. It is exacerbated by white So-called feminist women, encouraging black women to be single and single mothers.

I appreciate that brother. All Praise to Yahuah
The fact that everything he is saying is still relevant today is crazy
Shows you it’s all facts
It is heartbreaking. The advancing damage of white male supremacy ideology that has perfected the School to Prison Pipeline is truly a stage 4 cancer to humanity and the Earth itself. The destruction of Black boys destroys our ability to have strong healthy-minded Black Men to counter white male supremacy and protect, love, respect and understand Black Women and children culturally. Instead, too many of us are deeply harmed, raped, beat, and abused by both the system of white male supremacy and by sick Black males who never developed into Men, thus we are further disabled to raise Black males and the cycle continues. Black males MUST HEAL themselves and each other as they do the WORK to RAISE UP our Black boys in order to END this insane cycle!
nothing new under the sun
Worse today.
""How does a boy learn to be a man if he aint never seen one"" that hits hard.
Most males have been taught that how many females they've had sex with...makes them a man...smh

Why has no African American Studies class I've taken EVER mentioned this man? I need my money back!
Ken Because he mentioned homosexuality. He wasn’t mean, but rather spoke facts. They have lumped Africana-Studies along with Gender Studies in many institutions... An alpha black male is a threat to white supremacy-itself the harlot mother of so called gender studies. Do your research and you’ll see I’m right.

I’m a young black man and I wish I had a mentor like this. Imagine all black men an women have mentors that tell the truth like this. We would be more successful and it would be very difficult to oppress us.
Mass incarceration child support workforce discrimination housing discrimination false or over exaggerated mental diagnosis lack of guidance from strong male figures black on black violence and stereotypes it’s a list foreal
@gicybbjcybh5186because not all grown men are in positions of power? Black men being the the group of men besides natives to have the least amount of power institutionally
@gicybbjcybh5186grown men have been oppressed all throughout history, asking that question is like asking how do grown men let themselves get gassed to death
@@CoTheboxerbecause with ignorant animals like this oppression starts and ends with black men.
How about ALL MEN have fathers that mentor them like this. Its much better when we dont divide each other by the color of our skin and continue this nonsense. These same tactics are applied towards society as a whole regardless of race. Its about time with the technology we have at our fingertips we stop playing the victim card and do what ever it is we dream to do. In todays era the only thing holding us back is our self and lack of confidence that we can do ANYTHING if we put our mind to it. May I ask if you are a democrat?
31 years later and this is still very much relevant. That isn’t a coincidence, it’s definitely a conspiracy.

But please, stop thinking that Black people are talking about everyday, mediocre white people such as yourself when we speak on systemic and institutional racism. You are a victim of the system, you have no institutional power or influence and judging by your arrest record, you haven’t even taken advantage of the trickle down privilege that this society affords you.

This video just broke a glass in my brain and replaced the junk in there with real KNOWLEDGE.
Anubiez Black 😅😂😂 And you aint never lied! Im looking at life and how i react to it in a whole different way
Anubiez Black Read "The Falsification of African Consciousness" By Amos Wilson.
@KingDarnel W I discovered the answer to this phenomena when I traced biblical genealogies. It is nothing I'd ever heard before. It has to do with bloodlines and the establishment. First, the elite are not from Adam. Rather, the royal bloodlines are Cain's lineage. Who ain't very fond of commoners who are Human/Hebrew. They hate one of the Lost Human Tribes = *the Human Tribe of Kings/* Judah! Mostly, they hate the two not lost tribes of Humans = Shemite Jews (pure-blooded Humans).
Oh really? That much "junk" in your brain how do you "know" what "real knowledge" is?

@Jay Frank yeah you can...The first person who did hadn't seen a square before. Yes, he'd seen shaped that resembled a square before but it's almost impossible to find a square in nature so....but that's besides the point. You have an imagination and can conjure up possibilities even in impossible situations. But this is not even the case, most of the things black people "can't see" are already been done by people of other race. Just copy them?

He removed some accountability from women. Women that don't Marry before carrying are the problem. Women control access to Life. She determines who lives and who dies.
He involves race but his words are true to all families
I am ashamed that I was today years old when I found something motivatinal and informative in the trash. I texted my sons father to thank him for helping to raise a man. We were young. Immature. We fought, but not in front of the kid. We had family day with him. It has been the hardest, most accomplishing thing that I have ever done in my life, but anything worth having is worth working hard to achieve 💯

I want you to know your mother loved the thought of you soo much she did the work before your existence to ensure you had a childhood full of advantages and didn’t have to experience the same traumas. My hope for us is that I raise beautiful black children that feel loved, seen, heard, valued and worthy. My job as your mother is to make sure you’re not an adult trying to recover and heal from your childhood! I’m 32 and still doing the work and it’s hard! I love the thought of you enough that I’m healing for you! I hope I was able to give you the life you deserve. I love you❤️❤️❤️
Yes I’m 31 and doing the work while still having young children
Good luck getting a professor this eloquent in college
This is scary that this teaching is so relevant for today. DECADES later, we are still dealing with the exact same issues.
So true.
Because our people do not learn & the mindset is too comfortable where it is.
I swear
We are too far entrenched in the plan to make a significant change. We only save our families and hope outside forces don't intervene.
We will always be dealing with these issues as long as we are living amongst white folks. I said it. We keep trying to force ourselves on these people who hate us who don’t want us around they want to maintain their supremacy. What we need to be focusing on, is building our own power not just hearing the states but globally

I raised 5 Men a single mother. I did my best to talk to them about the world is, and what it offers. I played basketballand wrestled them, I taught to drive and how to use a gun to protect, their family. I tried to explore their world by being among them with their friends. By default, I became a substitute mother for a lot of other boys in the neighborhood! I took my boys to church and I even had Jehovah Witnesses teach them in my home. I was a fixture in their schools, selling hot dogs at football games and wrote the graduation speech for my son, who was President of his class! I got a Big Brother for the one son who had his eyes on street activity. I enrolled them into the Police Cadets and Navel Cadets, and the Black Urban League. I took them canoeing and the Serengeti Ball Room. On the Boblo Boat, we together, won a break dance contest! I taught them about their bodies and girls. I talked until " I talked to them until I was blue in the face!, my son said as he was making a choice to join a gang I followed him out there and became their friend. I realized that they just wanted someone to hear them. But, I had to work to take care of them. The street and peer pressure began to come into my home. I got them enrolled at Wayne State, Eastern Michigan, Henry Ford, Oakland Universities. They just didn't have a MAN to show them the way. I am very proud that they are all upstanding people, however, I can still see what the absence of their father has done. They lack the will to take the Big Steps that Men do.

You said it best Lucid.
The reason why that is an impossibility is due to black girls. Ya see little black girls & teens worship athletic black men. How many girls show admiration, or speak highly of an intelligent black man? Little to none. Young brothas see black sistas overlook disrespect look down on and become instantly turned off by a highly intelligent brotha. So the vast majority of young brothas vow never to become a highly intelligent brotha. There are even some gangstas who were born with Genius or gifted intellect, yet they hid it for most of they’re life bcuz that’s not what gets the panties wet.

Yeah. Because the conspiracy and brainwashing is real. WE HAVE TO FIGHT BACK AS A WHOLE AND A FAMILY.
towens243200 people like you are the problem
towens243200 the reason things are the same 30 years later is because Brothers like this does not have a big enough platform I am 60 years old and I just found this brother on KZhead Believe It or Not There Are a lot of people never heard of umar Johnson or dr. Claud Anderson
towens243200 so many gay women
I taught 2 preschool children to read, write and count by the time they were 5. I was only 7
I went to a lecture in the 80’s to see him excellentl
He spoke consistently and stated all facts for 55 consecutive minutes....so true 31 years post video. Im impressed!!
Very impressed
This is some gems. Every teacher should learn this
I’m overly impressed 😊
I have had black male students tell me that people think they talk “white.” When I ask them to define that for me they say things like educated, proper, respectful, etc. When I ask them to define what talking black means they say the opposite. We have had some really deep discussions about what that belief implies. Educated is educated. Education, respect, intelligence, and dignity do not have a color. From many of our discussions, I believe that what many of these young people feel to be “black enough” they have to embrace behavior that will not lead to success. It is a subtle lie, but it is a destructive one.
Thank you for being an awesome teacher🥰
PREACH MY BROTHER!!!! REAL EDUCATION TRUTH BE TOLD!!!!👁🤔
@TahitianTreatSkeetJuice Whether it's the 80s, 90s, or 2020, it's the same difference. Looking down on someone for the way they speak.
@TahitianTreatSkeetJuice that is still BS. If you're going to speak someone else's language, it makes total sense to sound the way the natives do - I would and I do; I speak 8 languages myself.
@TahitianTreatSkeetJuice I have 6 children and they have all been told they speak white....the funny things is I use to tell my sister to stop talking like a white girl when we were children (she thought she was speaking proper lol) she only had a tone of a white person not at all articulate. My children are very articulate and have a huge vocabulary which is why they are called white.
What a prophetic and profoundly intelligent man. Where has this man been hiding.. Why hasn't our black american men listen up and wisen up. Is it because America continue to be a divided and individualistic society?
We as black people in this country in particular have not only been totally separated from our ancestry in West Africa and beyond, we were raised to think like and emulate Europeans. We crave what they crave. We’ve been given there names. We speak their languages. We are not the minority but we are separated from other Africans. If we are to changes anything, we have to unlearn nearly all of what we have been conditioned to act like to recognize our worth. But we have to give up what we are conditioned to be addicted to. Money, etc….
Sad but True
The African narrative is bullshit. Africans have had internal warring tribes for millennia. And they seemed perfectly fine with letting us Black Americans deal with our problems alone
"IN ORDER TO BE ANYTHING, YOU MUST SEE IT FIRST" MORE POSITIVE BLACK MALES IS A MUST
ashanti if you don’t know you’ve done anything how can you do anything to paraphrase Malcolm X. There a lot of positive black role models past and present just not shown, adored or appreciate it. In fact a lot are shamed or frowned upon. Most young black kids and young adult I run across don’t even know the significance of Doctor Charles Drew.
TRUE
I’m in 8th grade now been doing KZhead trying to have a great life and stay out of trouble
Stay out of trouble stay educated pay attention to your thoughts. If KZhead makes you happy keep doing it
@@vincentthomas8761 i agree
Keeping doing what u r doing, you will be very successful.
Do more than that...you can do anything you put your mind to young brother.... I used to be the hardest m*********** on the block and not giving a f***...... And now I'm getting ready to go to my construction job where I am the foreman after going to a couple years at school it's just not banging in nails I get to actually think about what I'm doing and help the environment with what I'm doing I never thought that I would be where I am right now in my new apartment with my brand new car YOU CAN DO BETTER
Stay humble n focused on your growth n life.May God protect you always 👊🏿🙏🏿💯
I’m 25 mins in and he is spitting so much truth. This is a 💎. Some of us are not ready for the truth. I have mentioned this to my best friend that black men need to stop mimicking white men. Their way is not the right way.
If there is one group that does not ever imitate white men, it's black men. What are you talking about?
Truth
THE FIRST Black children's DEAD BEAT FATHER'S were the slave owner master. It was not a black men's protocol. It was learned from the White Man of the plantation.
I have this book from my fathers collection. Salute!!!
20 minuts in and what this man has said makes absolute sense still in 2020.... even more so.
He literally accurately predicted 2020.
On EVERYTHING!!!!!!.. 🙏🏾
That's what I'm saying!
11:01 it almost felt like he knew Cosby was dirty.
Eduardo Muñoz No that’s not why. He literally said that his show had just started at that point so it couldn’t be counted in the context in which he was speaking just yet because there wasn’t enough data or assessment gathered from it. But the reality is, the cosby show ended up being a positive image and ideal for the black community back then. My parents learned a lot from the cosby show in the 80s and it made my childhood even more productive and positively reinforced. Also, in another video, he actually eludes to the benefits of the cosby show and the positive image it portrayed. It was the epitome of what he felt should have been promoted instead of the other shows he mentioned later in the video. You must separate the man Bill Cosby from the show The Cosby Show. Two different things.
Bottom line... This man deserves a Nobel Peace prize or a Genius Grant prize award... 💯
👍🏾👍🏾😂🤣
Agreed.
Amen
Big Big Big Fax!!
@@threemileteacher video is old but ideas are definitely not out of date
This man is spot on i wish i had seen this before now and when my son was younger his farher left at a very crucial age my son's growth and development at 9 years old. . He's now 21 and behind in life i feel he's a good young man gives me no problems but just not motivated . In life . 😢 doesn't have a relationship with his father he left leaves in Hong Kong with his new family . It nothing i can do about but try to encourage my son to be what he needs to be in life to make it with the lost of both of my mom and grandmother two years apart it has been hard i guess he seen me shout down so he has im working on that but i wish i had know about this man earlier on in my life i really do.😮
I was 5 years old in 1987…this hit hard for me
Never in all my life have I seen such a well educated, well explained and accurate documentary about the black boys of this country in all my life!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😥😥😥😥😥😥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏EXCELLENT TEACHING!!!!! What is this genius name????
Jawanza Kunjufu
I totally agree! You should check out his books. They are just as powerful!
@@Keturah-Abigail1 what are the names of his books. I had one of his book gave it too a black man who was on drugs and I don't think he ever read it, he is still on drugs doing the samething. It is sad!!! I tried to tell a female it was the white man who did this. She didn't want to here about how it because her sister is married to a white man. We are so worried about people who are false in Israel that we don't care about our own. It was a loud fest outside this morning. Yes our people die for a lack of knowledge because we don't read. They only read the bible. Because the white man who made us slaves want to control our books.
I agree 100%
Black boys worldwide
He flowed...not a stutter...well research well presented...presented in a simple and comprehensive manner. An example of a phd holder who it's not just walking around statistically demanding being hailed "Dr"
Yassssss! I marveled at this exact observation the entire video ❤💪🏾
Word!
@Love_Galore so true!
You are correct "he's very fluent " and accurate . impressive
Yes thats one thing I've learned in my time living so far most people who know what there talking about has no hesitation to educate you at all no stuttering or anything.
This is PARAMOUNT!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 I’m sharing! It’s a pity I’m just finding this piece of education…wow!
I loved that he said regardless of income you are a man. ❤
He called this out back then, now look at us, lost. 🌞 tribe
LOST… even the europeans are lost. The west is failing dismally
@@thandoreviews8886 It's hitting us harder though!
Why do you think this is? Who is responsible for deteriorating the west. Us black people are losing horribly, this is true.
@@thandoreviews8886 no they are not lost they have unity and they have a thing of keeping all in for future generations they run things control everything. Every kind of people have done what they are and has done but the whites honestly just did it better. And today their agenda still is working. So no lost to them.
@@IdiEdem yes mam. Everthing learned can be unlearned
"When the economy changed, the family structure changed.."
Paul G first time I heard this concept. Makes total sense
LSmoove 79 thanks for the recommendation. I’ll definitely check out
LSmoove 79 Yes
That comment reveals a lot
The was the elites plan and it still working
" When the economy changes, the family structures changes " wow
The sad part is, this is still so true and relevant!!
I’m a HS English teacher and I purchased this book two months ago and literally read it from cover to cover in two days. This book is a blessing to educators 👏
Y2KDivaLocs you're gorgeous. Your students are lucky:)
What would you rate it? 1 to 10?
RIP George Smith 9
That's good you read that book but school is a joke. It teaches us to be dumb down to white supremacists mind control like the teacher said they destroying the black man as boys in fear we are a threat to them.They don't what to see black man especially doing better than them facts
What’s the book called
What control THE MIND, Controls YOU!!
The movie the Mack had a similar quote
Dr. Ray Haggins said the same thing. Listen to your teachers and be a learning junkie. That's how life changes. Knowledge is power not money.
when he said you can't name Cosby cause......(dramatic pause) his show just started...I said whew😅
This man is brilliant.
Dude breaks it down so simply Everyone should see this
Facts💯
@Yemi they have Agents everywhere.
@Toob247 Toob247 This is a black issue with a black professional, addressing a black audience...therefore the responses in the comment section are from a black perspective. No one is talking about white folks or other people in the world being poor or enslaved. That ain't the issue!!! It's NOT a multicultural-let's help-and include- everybody discussion. This is strictly "black" family& educational issue.
@Yemi Spies. they put them in our churches too. making sure the pastors aren't preaching truth.
Fast forward 33 years later and let’s check his numbers they have quadrupled and the struggle continues.
It's even more evident today. The numbers are worst today
And that's a shame!
Gissur Helguson “real talk”. We need a leader and start a new tradition.
@Gissur Helguson TRUTH IS IN YOUR WORDS
The Democrats running schools now and the inner cities, Chicago is a horrible place to live and black people keep voting for them. 🤷🏽♀️ And when you try and tell them they don’t listen
Family don’t sit around the table much anymore discussing the children’s day starting youngest to oldest then parents comment on children day giving praise and love. I looked forward to family dinner discussion’s. With my child it was the drive home about each subject yes beginning with kindergarten grade school to college. She would text about what happened in some of her classes ❤
I read both books over 30 years ago and the struggle continues.
What’s the name of the books ?
My son recently turned 15 and I've been looking for this video for the last year b/c I want him to see it. His dad is fully involved, but he's got that teenage thing where he thinks we're dramatic or that we just "don't understand". This video will show that there's nothing new under the sun and that there is a way to stay on track.
Going Through The Same Thing With My Big Headed Son... He Think He Got Everything Figured Out But The Boy Lost And I'm Trying To Get Him Back... But The Key Is To Not Give Up Keep That Pressure On Him He'll Wake Up Out Of It!!! 🙏
I started teaching my nieces and nephews...when they were really young... about 3yrs. old...I didn't sugar coat anything to them about the world they live in...I taught my nieces and nephews to keep their legs closed... that they are suppose to go Above and Beyond...those who came before them...to respect themselves.
I found it, they took this off KZhead years ago. Thank you so much for reposting this! The book is incredible.
It was taken off cause it's the truth
This explains everything
Can you provide links for the book? Thank you
Pretty Reddbone google it
@@mariahyohanneswhat is the book?
This is one of the most insightful videos I've seen in a while. Even if you're not a black man or even if you're not raising black boys, you can certainly take some of the key points/takeaways towards raising boys and treating other boys in the way they deserve. Also apparently Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu is an author too, I hope his books are as good as this lecture. Also although some points are a little dated, it's so fascinating to me how relevant some of the key points were in 1987 as it is today in Nov 2023.
I had this book for years & still do.. this is no opinion all facts thank you my brother 🙏💯
