It is so sad with to see all the hateful comments in response to this video. Ms. Magee calls us to something better, something healing. I choose that path.
I agree. Somehow many people seem so threatened by her truthful, compassionate words that they just can't hear what she is saying. Maybe they will in time.
Martin Luther King, Jr. “Accomplishments have no color.”
But exploitation does.
thanks for this: MLK also considered health/care injustice to be the most shocking and inhumane form.
@@masterthetime How absurd. Things don't change colour when you exploit them.
@@realthings5821 It sure doesn't when one race of people exploit all the other races
@@masterthetime That's impossible. For example, I suspect you aren't white, but you're exploiting my patience.
Compassion and love
Love this. Thank you. Thank you, Dennis Hunter, for recommending viewing and listening.
Based on these comments, a lot of you have tons of inner work to do.
Not a Critique of this talk:
We need to be careful to not assume that what we see on television and in mass media is populous just be cause its u ubiquitous or popular. What dominates the headlines or the airwaves does not have to be quantitatively significant and many times it isn't.
I dont believe there is a "shift in consciousness". America and the world has ALWAYS known that there is rampant discrimination and persecution based upon skin color. I will not assume that people's opinions and toleration for bigotry has changed just because more people are talking about it or willing to listen or.pretend to listen. Sometimes meat eaters stand in a crowd of vegans because vegans are the dominant or popular faction. And this doesnt mean those meat eaters will change their diet in their "real lives".
Just be cause Life Imitates Art, doesn't mean that Art Reflects Real Life.
People will follow the succes, we just have to make it work.
Not more of this nonsense 🤦🏽♂️🙄
I think she just wants everyone to love one another and for everyone to have equal opportunities... just a thought
When members of one race complained about another race, we used to call that racism. These days certain people call it the beginning of racial justice.
When racists complained about another race, we used to call that being mindless. These days certain people call it being mindful.
But we're going to defeat these people. Just keep challenging their claims; they do not stand to reason. Let's show them what real 'progress' looks like.
Hopefully, unfortunately I do not share your optimism.
@@pencil677 Chin up! It will probably get worse before it gets better :)
Amazing! Loved it!
A great intersection of Mindfulness and Racial Justice.
A real call to look within and investigate how we deal with racial justice internally and bring that out into the world.
A clear, reasoned and compassionate approach to the racial divide in our country
Thank you for your voice.
Wish it could have been in front of a real audience.
I’ve heard wiser words from a bartender.
Yeah I think Ted would have to pick up their audience for this talk. Otherwise ppl would leave.
What is wrong with you? Can't you see the obvious racism of assuming whites are the problem?
"Racial justice" is racism, because it differentiates on race. It is that simple.
Otherwise it would be just "justice".
I would like to see you in person in the near future one day.
Thank you for sharing 🙏
How can I send a video to Ted?
Take dad away and they could do anything to destroy those boys.
I'm glad you know
No injustice can be addressed until after racial justice is addressed? Racism, sexism, ageism and other isms are attitudes and cannot be legislated away.
Thanks Queen Rhonda
I took the time to watch this difficult video. I'm ready for discussion, not arguement. Would someone like to engage?
God bless you all.
Hi wanted to ask if you could explain some of the concepts talked about in the video like what is race. I was confused when she said its a biological fiction
@@davethomas2089 Thank you for engaging in this very important dialogue. I can not explain any consepts she discribes. I am also confused when the 'content of one's character' is not important. I want to agree with someone that our actions make us, not our skin.
@@bellapoof8255It sounded to me at a few places she was substituting the term race with stereotype, which is not a good thing to do. Also I noticed that she seemed to claim that your color is your race which is not a good thing to do either. Emphasizing character is where peace comes. Totally agree with you there. Unfortunately that doesn't stop someone from having bad character but this is the fight of human existence.
@@davethomas2089 We're on the right path, you and I. Thank you.
Justice have no colour!!!
thank you so much for this video yall
We are created equal, it is man who makes a difference between those they feel are entitled and those they feel are not. One most make their own choice as to how they will respond to this. 🙏
Exactly as it's written in the constitution
*TEDx Talks* Love it !!
Is the microphone inside her trachea ?
ASMR Wokeness
Oh i think that neither of both consciousness are all without...disadvantages
Este canal es ¡GENIAL!
Please translate 😥 I want understand .
What she tell !
I'm pink with brown spots and orange hair. Let's talk about minority.
LOL!
So you have sun damaged skin, small amount of eumelanin and a lot of pheomelanin. Good for you! Definitely not a minority
Sam Ingram, how much of education do you have? Your comments make me wonder.
@@koofii2272 your comments cause me no wonder at all. Have a great evening.
@@Coco-uy4kx pfffft it was CLEARLY a joke 🙄
It's so great lecture
Interesting recommendation. I just released a video about racial discrimination and gender biases in Artificial Intelligence :)) I'm really grateful for seeing more on this subject!
"Racial justice" is called "justice" without racism. A judge ought to know that.
She begins with race is not a biological reality but a social reality. There is harm from this social reality. However the path to correcting the harm is by awareness of the social reality in an ongoing effort. Is there a way to end that social reality?
If race wasn't biological we would not be able to distinguish one race from another, and so racism would be impossible. I think she is deluded about the relevance of sociology.
@@realthings5821 Actually I think that is her one most factual statement. As a child I was taught that there are 4 races. However specifically in the context of racism there are clearly many more. So how many races are there? How many white races are there? Some people include middle eastern and some don't. Can you easily pick out the Jews for example from a group of white people? I cannot. These groups that are the victims of racism are not necessarily so readily identifiable. Nonetheless the individuals may be passionate about their identity, and their identity is cultural; it's sociological.
This video is exactly how I imagine scientology lectures are
I will engage with this statement. It's clearly not pc and that's why i like it. Would you like to respond with some elaboration or a question for me?
(Pc talk is hard)
@@bellapoof8255 there are ideas in this world that seem good and just at face value but end up causing misery the way I see it their are only three types of people in the world people I know people I don't know and people I will know and I judge them as I meet them the idea we can give characteristics to groups of people based on their location, appearance, or even class is wrong that idea has caused many wars and suffering and to even play around the edges of it is like playing with fire it will burn people are responsible for their actions in their lives and we judge people one at a time that is the goal anything else is poisonous
@@sethshaw5680 good man.
There are three kinds of people. People who care only for themselves (virtue signalers exemplary of cancel culture). People who cannot advance on their own (sick and lame). And those who see a need and supply for it.
Choices is what makes people. Judge them by their actions.
@@bellapoof8255 exactly the opposite of putting people in racial blocks
Ees

Talk is cheap when something else is needed.
आप हमेशा इतने छोटे बनिये की
हर व्यक्ति आपके साथ बैठ सके,
और आप इतने बड़े बनिये की
आप जब उठे तो कोई बैठा न रहे
Discrimination and hypocrisy are bad
😶
Just because you have not experienced it doesn't mean it's not happening to others! ONLY IGNORANCE would allow someone to invalidate another's experience‼
Thank you for highlighting the racism that white people suffer
@Jonathan Pam Jnr. that's the far left people like the Nazis that you are thinking of.
@Jonathan Pam Jnr. You need to learn some history. "when have white people ever suffered in history"
White people have been enslaved by (north) Africans, by people from the Middle-East, ... Even today , because of affirmative action, whites are disadvantaged when it comes to obtaining scholar funds or jobs.
Also looking at your other comments, you seem to live in your own bubble and it is clear that your anti-white racism is way beyond that of 99% of white's racism.
@Jonathan Pam Jnr. irish, armenians, bulgarians, romanians etc.

What’s
Just be nice to each other, that's it, love is universal
everytime you say "racial or race" you aknowledge that there are different human races.
If you actually followed along you would know that since there are very real consequences of our made up construct of race we now have to acknowledge racial lines and the prejudices that form around them.
Race is a biological fiction? Have you ever heard of genetics?
She means the psychology of different races and racism probably.
@@JonkoJointson No, the post modernists want 2+2 to =5. There is definite physical differences between races. That's not to say we're not all equally human and deserving of our natural rights of course.
Genetically we are less then 0.002% different from each other. We can't scientifically classify humanity as different races since we differ so little and mixed "race" offspring can have children. If you mix a race of zebra and donkey the offspring from those to animals will be infertile. That being said those differences are still noticeable however minor
@@SnakingIvY he probably meant that there is Real difference of adaptation linked to your genetic and often related to your ethnecity (most evident is melanine for example or also south African male have around 15% more testosterone than the general population, North european descent have stronger and far more pressure resistant back and vertebra, etc... All that statisticaly speaking)
It is btw how race (on the biological sense) appear on the very long term, but now yes of course we're all the same race, which doesn't prevent the fact that all have ethnic (or even on smaller scale) adaptation
But biology doesn't make morale, those are just some natural advantages regarding some situation but that Can also be negative for other situation, it doesn't make someone better or worst just because
Beside the genetic pourcentages arguments is fallacious when we know also how much of a similar adn with some animals that are so phisicaly differents than us, and btw that pourcentage difference doesn't even add up compare to another with for how many years we seperated on a evolutionary level with them)
A Bell did you just mention science? Oh no stp it you scare them.
The only science for them if gender and race study. Otherwise they get offended

Hello
I didn’t know anything about racism until I came to this country, in the rest of the world people are looked at by their nationalities not by the color... color doesn’t mean anything...
Wonderful insight!
Unsubscribed.
Cya
Rip
The channel is not at fault here, they just got one person to talk about something, and I’m sure somewhere in the channel there’s another random person talking to us about the exact opposite opinion. My point is, the opinions of the people who give the talks do not reflect the opinions of the channel.
first comment
Were you referring to George Floyd the criminal who resisted arrest?
Did you mean "were" instead of "we're" Mr CAN'T WRITE?
@@koofii2272 why yes I did thank you so much for bringing that to my attention. You may leave your basement now. It's almost time for your riot to start.
I have something better doing for my life and country. I thought old age comes with sanity and wisdom. I wonder your level of education and exposure.
@@koofii2272 Interesting how you attacked grammar instead of the point made 🤔
Just saying floyd was on fentynal and saying he couldnt breath before being put on the ground
Dr James Gilligan explains plenty of evidence to show without a doubt that inequality leads to violence. Every society with more equality we see less violence and plus all the evidence from his work as a psychiatrist in a prison filled with murderers and rapists. The causality from our environment / culture to increased crime and mental illness / addictions is very thick and undoubtedly furthermore undeniable
👍⚘good
قتل كل الناس البيض.
Bye TED.
E pluribus hurt E pluribus heal. United we stand. Divided we crawl.
LMFAO
So much bs
jajajajaja
I'm praying for you.
bye ted
Zzzzzzzz. Woke is out
This channel is dead.
You're perpetuating racism with your ideology. You see racism because you look for it, talk about it and perpetuate it. You can see joy or hate, it's a choice!
Hello Deloria, hope you’re in good health ☺️😊
This commentary is practicing what it's preaching against. WT*?
Lame
too pitty we did not bring "democracy" to the pilgrims back then and instead fought all superpowers in europe at once.
I hope that this video is a social experiment of some kind...
Was thinking the same lol
Yes, it's meant to smoke out all of the imbeciles, racists, white supremacists, and general jackasses. And good news -- it's working exactly as planned!!
This is just another worthless race grifter who contributes nothing of worth to Humanity.
The ignorance and willful hate exhibited throughout these comments will never be exterminated. The only chance we have to live in a healthy, egalitarian society is to make sure that the Positive People OUT-WORK, OUT-SPEAK, OUT-ACT the Negative People.
Regardless of what one thinks of this womans words and delivery, her intent is clear and undeniable. So the people who use this as an opportunity to sew division and animosity are doing so because it furthers their agenda.
🙌🙌!!!
The people to whom you are referring are insignificant imbeciles, whose very existence really doesn't matter to anyone. They should be ignored, like the irrelevant dimwits that they are.
Ted is woke AF.
Commenting for the algorithm
XDDD
I dont feel white guilt and i never will
Remember when ted talks weren’t politically one sided and motivated indoctrination?
Started watching Ted talks since 10 million...now it's 30..long journey ..huh..!
Give it a rest. Get on with your life instead of whining.
...aaaand I'm unsubscribed...
I-
TED I'm done-
Oh no, everybody -- Tia is done!!! Whatever will we do without this genius being here??? HOW WILL WE GO ON??!! WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY???!!!!!
@@timbale82 pathetic
Oh...
I guess it's time to unsubscribe.
Bye Ted.
I pray anyone that sees this is successful in life.
Lame. Go next
Mindfulness is separating emotion from logic. This woman sounds like she thinks with her emotions.
This was the last nail to coffin. Its time to unsubscribe from TED talks. Its sad because this was the building block for new scientific endeveurs not a platfrom for political idealogies. First ever TED talk I watched was some drone show where Guy made drones to move in desired position with his magic police baton like controller with just a moving that to different space no touch screen controls no joysticks just that magic wand.
Goodbye TED talks, it was fun while it lasted.
What about class? Where's the detailed breakdown from a Marxist perspective?
Social constructivist racism.
And just were do the people of the first nation of this stolen land fit into this plan ? Ahh, forgot about them, did ya ?
Read Empire of the Summer Moon
This was super weird
2:08
This is complete nonsense. How is race a social construct?
Haha she said scientists
Why has this TED talk been mobbed by angry racists? Was there a meeting beforehand or something how did you all coordinate to have your comments spammed right away when it was posted and why are you still coming back and responding to new comments?
Or maybe you only see them as "angry racists" because you are one yourself? Maybe these people are just getting sick and tired of being blamed for anything and everything for no fault of their own.
HiPuSeRnAmE little snowflake
@@marijnr6821 oof, the irony of people *who feel what they want is more important than what's best for everyone as a society* calls someone who doesn't agree with them a special snowflake
Love Ted Talks but this video is a hard pass.
Jesus Christ will return again. He loves you. ❤ Please repent. Seek Him while you still can. No sinner will enter in to the Kingdom of God. The Bible prophecies are coming to an end. God bless you! Stay safe & healthy! 🙏

Wow, you deleted TH-cam in its entirety? That is quite a feat for a dimwit.
Some how I managed to watch 1:04 of this brain washing video
Stay mad
The same George Floyd who was high on drugs?
Behave normal and the people will accept you.
The same George Floyd that was allegedly passing counterfeit money?
And here he comes again, with his ticker tape parade as the Grand Marshal of Racism.
@@timbale82 If George Floyd had been entirely innocent, the incident would not have happened. Nobody is suggesting the arresting officer (now guilty of involuntary manslaughter) was a bad police officer. It is wholly unreasonable to cite one tragic incident as the spark of renewed waves of racism in the USA; the problem is the whole BLM movement being out of control and promoting civil unrest many times more damaging than several tragic police errors put together.
Mindless mindfulness! LOL🤔
