Very good talk. I was also a circle growing up until my shape changed via a life long disability that started in my 20s. I still feel invisible at times at 55. Ur awesome. Thx for ur service.
Keith?
@@kimberlycasey5654 I'm Tom. Looking for Keith?
I'm sorry it took 4 years to find you. But thank you for answering the one question that nobody I asked could answer. I will archive your video and review it from time to time. Thank you very much, just another square.
This is poignant and beautifully executed - humanity and social orders of ethics will be built and positively moved with this young woman having this consciousness
Amen! Great message then and Now and going forward!
Great job!!
Awesome talk!
Many weather professionals and enthusiasts who travel throughout the Midwest tracking powerful thunderstorms capable of producing damaging wind, hail and tornadoes also practice tactical hydration. Very long days driving with little opportunity to stop for restroom breaks.
wow,,, I just turn 50 years old,,,, and I never thought about this ,,,,, learned so much from this vlog !!
THANK YOU!!
That was a very powerful speech, and it carries a lot of weight.
Awesome talk thank you for your service to our country but more importantly to those that are in the minority
Excellent Speech!🤔🤔
Omg this is such a powerful speech. Thank you for sharing your story.
Great speech! Teachers practice tactical dehydration all the time, too.
Insightful!!!🤔

Thank you for sharing your perspective, I feel a bit sad that others are expressing frustration with your experience because they've been wounded more than you have. I very much appreciate it hearing about your journey and the lessons you learned.
Cant wait
Well actually, the « majority » had always a minority worldwide.
So beautifully said, sister! Wonderful job.
Great Pilot and mentor to many. I appreciate you putting yourself out there and speaking very effectively for the benefit of all. Much respect.
Great speech and to the point 👌🏻
I was a Marine and naval aviator, retiring just over thirty years ago, when women were just coming into naval aviation, here is an obseration: As a Marine, I saw that the women lacked physical strength to move mortars and machine guns in the field. As an aviator and primary flight instructor, I saw that the women were every bit the aviators that the men were, and usually better because they're self-selected at the aviator applicant stage.
Thank you. Very inspiring. All the best to you💞
I'm a octagon
I’m a Apache helicopter

Gotta have a demand thank your LS for getting this pushed thru
Depends that’s what a lot do
She is good at complaining.
dodecahedrons unite!
My grandfather was self-made and self-taught German American. He came from a farmstead in born in 1916 and growing up in 1920s Dayton, Ohio's outskirts. When the Great Depression happened, his father left during the Great Depression and said he couldn't handle the stress. He would go on to work for GM, in order to get a position in management, which he was eligible for, in order to vie for the position he needed to know Calculus, rather than be intimidated at the prospect, he taught himself not only Calculus 1 and 2, he taught himself how to use a slide-rule, and ended up the plant manager of a converted factory making B-29 landing struts in Kettering, Ohio in the 40s, competing against Ivy League graduates for the position.
*When your a circle, but you want to go to the land of squares for job opportunities (a German-American farm-born man goes to 1930s Kettering), you try to understand and integrate a bit into the squares society, but you will always be a circle, therefore you are now an irregular octagon.* People that came here expected you to do nothing for them, and the fact they needed to do everything for themselves made them fundamentally better people. People in the slums would dress in their nicest clothes in the slums, so no one would know they came from the slums, because people would keep an eye on them, or they'd be given birth because a person that didn't care about their appearance wasn't someone to associate with or do business with. Every time I hear a minority family born in America needs accommodations to successfully integrate into a city, I scoff.
this comment does not deserve an answer, it is comparing apples to oranges, and if the speaker is not aware of that, the further conversation is useless-
@@emmeyatolo6431 doesn't stroke the ego so you ignore it
@@edwinamendelssohn5129, it would seem it is stroking his ego if that is what this is about for you guys then I suppose he has succeeded.
As far as comparing like subjects in creating an analogy it falls short.
She left out the part where the circles murdered millions of other circles to save the other shapes and how dangerous it is to live around other shapes
the numbers of circles that died was less than 700k circles. and we forgot when circles controlled other shapes. and act superior while waging problems
@@user-ey1sf6fy3f less than 700k? Do you even hear yourself? Merry Christmas genocider
@@user-ey1sf6fy3f Try 10's of millions moron.
Are you referring to that dead Queen or the American government.
Liked how to she uses shapes to mean different race.
Great speech and amazing message! Thank you for being one of the 8% to share your story, struggles and successes.
Oh my God, are you saying life might present us with difficulties?
Screw it, I quit...........
underraated comment
did you commit suicide?
Excellent analogies. We need more of her. Thank you for your service, Shelby.
Circles are motivated students that compete with each other to enter higher education on relative merit. Squares are uninterested in school from the beginning but are shuttled through the same higher education on a 2nd track, usually with extra money from the government
you’ve exposed your internalized racism.
@@JakoyahAlexis We are all one human race. Treat all people equally, no worse or better than others .
@@GK-op4oc I agree! But if we ignore white privlege and the systems set up to see our health, educational, and financial demise we cant do that.
What if I told you many circles get money from the government
South Africa happens, Belgium happens,
She understood the assignment!
What reinforcing the tires narrative?
First off, the LT argued that anatomy is a privilege. Which frankly is a moronic stance. It is absolutely easier to identify a urethra on male than it is a female. That's biology, not privilege.
Second, due to the historical number of pilots being male, equipment being adapted to male anatomy isn't privilege; it's necessity. Especially in a country that questions the DoD's budget. In a numbers game, the 8% of a small percentage of individuals isn't the priority. Too bad if that hurts your feelings. It's warfare, not feelingsfare.
Finally. Instead of being a shape, be a bulldozer. Make whatever opportunity fit to you. CPT Kim Campbell was a bulldozer. SGT Leigh Ann Hester was a bulldozer.
This LT does a disservice to women that came before her by complaining that a male dominated profession doesn't suit her needs. Many women before her have met, exceeded, and crushed the status quo, through grit and determination; all without complaining that the world didn't meet their demands to accommodate them individually.
the LT was aking an analogy of biologic difference being an "entrance"
I thought this was going to be more interesting than it was.
Amazing talk! Never thought of the minority/majority relationship this way. Definitely will make me think about my own perspectives. Thanks for posting.
The thing is is that you can leave your "minority" status any time you like.
Some of us have been in the minority for ALL of our lives.
I appreciate your story, and I know you aren't expecting sympathy, and that's good because you'll find none here, but the lesson for you is that you were born into advantages and privileges a great number of us can only dream about. And you will always be an odd shape in an environment of the non-priveleged.
And you'll want to be invisible there too because, in such a place, frequented by such people, you are the minority. You are the misfit.
I was a fleet sailor during the Gulf War. I was not a pilot, but I consider my job, on my ship, to be at least as, if not moreso, as important as yours. No offense.
So, we appreciate each other's service for what we contributed, I'm sure.
Good day.
I’m a hyper cube
Bravo lil lady, nice reference to racism and its blind spots...Yhwh bless you quickly, i noticed it 15seconds into video...WELL DONE
Yes, indeed been there done that!!!!
The struggle is REAL for ANY female that looks like me.
struggle ? like what ?
Nice to hear someone talk about privilege in a way that is non-stereotypical.
Ben brought me here, was not disappointed
Bernardo Flor shapiro?
She is constantly referring to her "privilege", meaning her family, and says her father and mother gave them everything. So it seems that she thinks that her father and mother's hard work and sacrifice (spending their money on her and her siblings instead of new cars or houses, etc) is just some "privilege" she was born with. How ungrateful and unrealistic. There are plenty of people who she would classify as "circles" based on their skin color that had none of her "privilege".
And I have been in a highly technical job dominated by men for 30 years. In almost every training class I ever attended I was the only woman and I NEVER sat in the back of the room to hide. You make your own choices. Be good at your job and most men will recognize that. And don't think that men who become nurses or pre-school teachers aren't in the same boat as you. EVERYBODY is a minority somewhere and at something. Asians are a minority in Montana, and in the US, but they are the majority ethnic group in the world. Just depends on where you look at it from.
You got it, Nora. Ungrateful and unrealistic.
These women just love to feel victimized and oppressed.
I wanted to comment on this because Shelby this is a perspective that is not often told. Her comments on growing up with a horse and getting a car at the age of 16 as well as going school shopping was a privilege. I am glad that you brought up the unconscious bias, but I am a bit surprised that it took you all the way to make it as a Navy pilot to understand what other minority groups have faced over hundreds of years. Going to the military and realizing that there are only 8% of women pilots was a surprise to you, but now ask yourself how many of those women are women of color? How many of the men in the room are men of color? Gender isn’t the only factor that makes you a minority. You made change with a few emails and brought up great points about the devices that will be implemented, but again, what if you were a woman of color, would this change anything? I do not have those answers, just an idea that I thought about while listening to your story, which is inspirational because you did earn your degree and you worked hard to get where you are. You have a great message, but I do believe that this is a conversation starter and I wish that it can lead to greater change in inspiring other female pilots, but of all “shapes” and sizes (as you mentioned in your intro).
So you blame your parents for working their butts off to provide for you? Pathetic. Some people will not do as well as others. YOu don't even have that inside a family and you expect society to have the equal outcomes?
I am never minority! I am the majority!
Hopefully that'll change soon :)
Get over yourself
Where you from? In the west America's minority in 30 years will be the majority.
@@Calvbread Yeah it will change, Meaning that non white birth rates
will be higher than white birth rates, The younger white female are not interested
in having children, Due to their education and the economy, But other races are having children
left to right, So times are changing, And you can't do anything about it, Deal with it
@@glennquagmire6153 this is in some way not true and true. It's true it terms of saying 53% of White women don't wanna have kids because of the Liberal believe that it causes Global warming or some BS like that, and Liberal women usually just have 1-2 kids. It's not true because each demographic has a main source to it's decline aswell. Example: the main source of Brown on the U.S is Immigration which has been severely Slowed down while under trump. Blacks are killed in the millions in ways like Abortion and Street violence. If Trump Re installs the Nationality act of 1965 then that gives incentive for trump to allow immigration from White European countries only.
The entire planet was once melanated... We always been the majority!
Great motivational speech and every soldier should have the best possible equipment to fo there job
But at the end of the day some many people want to play the victim card and blame it on race or gender and give up before they even try to complete there own goals in life
Life is not equal life is not fair and in my opinion race / gender has little to do with it right or wrong it more comes down to how much money your parents had while being raised but the main point I took away from this is you might be starting 10 miles back but if you keep pushing yourself you will catch up for future generations also im a white male square
And some Airmen like myself have actually won cases through the help of the Staff Judge Advocate and Base Inspector General against actual White Supremacists in the military. Let's not allow Fox News talking points to B.S. people! These situations are actually happening!
Hard times make strong men strong men make good times,good times make weak men and women
There’s a lot of us weak men
I will paraphrase this like:
Modern times get harder because of spoiled women, strong men have to put down spoiled women to make modern times easier, easier times makes women spoilable again, and repeats until we realize that spoiling women is wrong.

Why wasn't this talked about in the New Top Gun movie ?
You mean like the native americans
the right title is "why majority don't think about their children future with reducing their children?"
?

Its not a race thing, its a 💸💸💸 and education thing.

You're projecting karen

Geez navy, let the girl pee.
Sort of a vague blob.......
It takes only one bad circle to ruin the perfect world for the other fellow circles…
Zzzz
How about you stop screaming geeee... Poor audience..
So basically what you're saying is because circles made things for circles the circles are bad because they didn't think about making things for other shapes in the quest to make things for themselves you can actually imply that logic to every other shape as well you people are a joke
Yes… continue to expose the idiocy and racism in yourself🎤
So you want to be a victim, get over it
If she hasn't got her silver oak leaf yet, she's earned it. Its due.
Lmaoooo this terrible need to change the title
It takes a reasonable amount of intelligence and commonsense, but you have to be rather obtuse to not rightly appreciate your assets and liabilities related to everyone else. Only a dolt fails to perceive their station and its concomitant advantage or adversity. This talk is nothing special.

😂jeez
Accurate
This is amazingly true! White people need to understand their white priviledge and help others in need! No more time for ignorance and more for passion and love!
It is a wealth privilege, regardless of your color. There are wealthy whites, blacks, latino, Asian, etc. As long as it is always applied to race, then it is always consider a racial issue instead of economic. The poor whites in Appalachia are in extreme poverty too.
"American individuals, estates, foundations and corporations contributed an estimated $390.05 billion to U.S. charities in 2016." The US spends close to a trillion a year for social programs. There are many scholarships available to economically disadvantage people. On the other side of that, people need to put forward their best effort to optimize their success. I think Dr,. Sowell and Dr. Williams have good insight on current issues in the inner city.
Compassion and love are not a color. How ridiculous. Racists all of you
It doesn’t exist
Yes, your people are very cruel.
did she cry ?
Everything she described is what ethnic minorities go through on a daily basis except they cant simply return home to go back to normal because their home country is the one that treats them that way. Hopefully shes the type that also tries to understand the hardships ethnic minorities face and not the type that just speaks out on what affects her and doesn't care about other groups. Sadly people who praise her speech will probably go on to support women more but still still stomp on minorities because they dont make the connection. Also the problems white women face as women is incomparable to the discrimination ethnic minorities face. White people praising a white woman for opening up about hardships she faces as a white woman? Boohoo. If it was ethnic minorities, no one would speak up to defend them and say thats not right. But for a white woman they will speak up because she is privileged. Now if she tells a similar story where someone called out racial discrimination that would increase her credibility. But this just sounds like a rich person lamenting about a time when they forgot their credit card and had to spend the day shopping with just the cash left in their wallet instead. How tragic. The focus of her speech is such a non-issue. The fact that she feels as if she faced true discrimination is unbelievable. She talks about how people dont notice the privilege they have until the situation is flipped. Seems like she has much yet unnoticed.
Do you think the white person living in poverty has it so much better? Do you think the successful ethnic minorities suffer? As long as people look at everything as racial discrimination, then it will always exist as racism, not economics.
@@Pmtd1234 Racism and economics are intertwined.
Some are making the connection.
Too many victims here. Why? I heard LeBron James other day, he acts like a victim, he's worth more than everyone that has even made a commitment combined. How is he a victim and scared. Ridiculous!!! I heard a lady today say white people are in harder, and i ask in charge of what, most major cities in America have been under a minority mayor for over 20 years now.
What a load of bs.
Freaking yawn2
Lame. Get in the kitchen.
Based
Oh give it a rest.
Ok we get it. We're privilege & so is every damn person living in america.
70% worlds population wish they had it as good as the poorest Americans
I thinks its time all our poorest in the US begin to tell the rest of the actual poor (as in no water, ac, heat, cc w free money for food on it)about how they are privilege & apologize for it.
This is a devil's platform, the only channel that has 100 recommendations of only that channel, Ted is a BS machine, promoted by useless youtube.
