Hunter said she appreciated the film for representing black America but was left feeling &#8220;empty&#8221; because PBS documentaries are made for white people and fail to &#8220;free&#8221; black people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;We have so much more history even in Christianity than the Europeans,&#8221; said Hunter, a distinguished<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/fm.hunter.cuny.edu\/journalism\/index.php\/faculty\/karen-hunter\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lecturer<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">at Hunter College&#8217;s journalism school. &#8220;We have so much more history in God and religion and how we practice. This little 400-year criminal enterprise does not define the black church.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The professors also discussed Coca-Cola&#8217;s diversity seminar, which went viral last week after slides that instructed employees to &#8220;be less white&#8221; surfaced on Twitter. Participants were told that to &#8220;be less white&#8221; meant to &#8220;be less oppressive, be less arrogant, be less certain, be less defensive, be less ignorant, be more humble.&#8221; Hunter called the training &#8220;reasonable.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hunter is a former MSNBC contributor and currently hosts the<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Karen Hunter Show<\/span><\/em> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">on SiriusXM. She has authored several books, including<\/span> <em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why Black Men Love White Women<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,<\/span> <em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don\u2019t Bring Home a White Boy<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and<\/span> <em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Al on America<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which she co-authored with Al Sharpton.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hunter alleges that MSNBC<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/karenhunter\/status\/926120054151839744\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">put her<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">on a &#8220;do not call list&#8221; in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hunter charges between $20,000 and $30,000 for speaking engagements, according to her All-American Entertainment Speakers\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaespeakers.com\/speakers\/karen-hunter\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
