I've seen them perform this on another video at a poetry slam. I am so glad this is being exposed to a white elite intellectual audience that we know as TED talks!
I feel that the camera person / editor does a big disservice to this piece... Both poets are clearly involved with each line. Stop switching the frame. Show me both. To me, the switching is very distracting and makes the experience feel very incomplete. Shame because i think the piece is very creative, but part of it is lost when you can't see both poets at the same time.
Am I the only one who didn't get it? Like I'm a white woman, so should just stay silent when I see injustice to them happening? Pls educate me, as I don't think I've quite grasped what the ending truly meant
As a woman, when a man speaks about your struggles and pain as if he knows what it's like to walk in your shoes, he is silencing your voice. And instead telling the truth that he sees. We all have wounds, but they are different. Rather than turning a blind eye or speaking for other marginalized groups, we should be speaking on behalf and creating more space for them to tell their stories.
This is sooooo powerful. Confronting, accurate. Thank you for waking me up
This is my absolute favorite
cringe

Yes, that one at Button Poetry was way better as it shows both of them performing for better effect.

Agreed. I saw another video that shows both the entire time, and it a much more powerful display of the full meaning.
