In Class with Carr, Ep. 244: “Now We Do It Our Way: A Work of Numbers” (Part 1)

by



The enemies of our common humanity work hard to shape and distort memory for this reason, above all others. Remembering that we have defeated oppressive conditions, movements and moments when we come together in sufficient number is the first step to defeating them again and building the spaces and societies we want for ourselves and others. When we do this our way, we win.

  1. We have always lived in slums and holes in the wall. We will know how to accommodate ourselves for a time. For, you must not forget, that we can also build palaces and cities, here in spain and in America and everywhere. We, the workers. We can build others to take their place. And better ones. We are not in the least bit afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth. There is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing in this minute.

  9. I love and appreciate Dr. Carr's nod to MA`AT, Jack, Paul, Langston and all the ancestors. We are here only due to the inherent superiority of the strength and truth of their frequencies and vibrations, which stretch back to the beginning of creation from wherever we are in the present or future. More of us need to wake up to the concepts and constructs melanemics were too unevolved to understand when we gave them their first taste of civilization back in the bronze age. America could have been great when the only people here were those that walked, or arrived, here before the melanemics 'discovered' these shores!

  20. Understand that when you are on the right side, that makes you on God. What so many people fail to understand Yeshua God has been waiting on us. We have failed because we have looked to man even the evil ones. When Yeshua said I have given you power to walk on tread on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall harm you! Because I have all power in heaven and earth, so what is the problem excepted your faith in me, Yeshua Hamaschia.

  24. "Let America be America, again." It all depends on one point of view. Respect to Langston, Tony West, Tony Todd, and the most beautiful Ida Wells who met at its home and put it all on the line. No more lynching on my shift. Shout out to my guy Steven Chisolm, M.D. South Carolina State Alum and Meharry College of Medicine, the man staying in my face that opened my eyes just a little wider. Thanks Drs. Hunter and Carr great show.

  29. The mass political suicide you are talking about Dr. Carr that occurred on 11/5/24 was a slap in the face and punch in the gut to the two surviving elders of the horrific white supremacist terrorist attack against the Black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma on May31& June1, 1921. Both of these elders 109&110 respectively remember the very nakedly brutal, barbaric,vicious, and terroristic assault that white supremacy unleashed against the Black community of Tulsa 103 years ago which was so cowardly and one the worst crimes committed against humanity in recorded history. One of the elders who survied the massacre said "If this is the very last ballot I ever cast in my life I'm going to cast it for Madame VP Kamala Harris". Those words spoken from this elder brought tears to my eyes because she had a first hand experience with the most violent forms of white supremacy and lived through a period when Black people especially Black men were routinely lynched and hung from trees and had their body parts cut from their bodies taken home for souvenirs by terrorist white racist mobs while eating fried chicken and potato salad and was a routine type of ritual not just in the states of the former Confederacy but throughout much of the nation such as East St.Louis, Mo., Philadelphia, Penn., Chicago,Ill. Lansing, Mich., Washington,D.C.,Indianapolis, Ind., Rosewood, Fla., etc. And to add further insult to injury to these elders the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled against paying any compesation to the survivors or holding the state of Oklahoma accountable for the horrific crimes committed against the Black community not only in Tulsa at that time but also throughout the state of Oklahoma as well as where many Black people who mudered were buried in mass graves. What I have to say is this f-king despicable and criminal nation has a hell of a lot to answer for the crimes it has committed against people of African descent from the distant past, recent past as well as in the present day.

  31. I was born in 1957, and I remember "colored only" water fountains, but I also remember growing up in Philly when we had black communities full of love and respect for each other, until we didn't… I want to go back to the time when it was FUBU. 🖤
