I read once that people have a hard time taking responsibility for these types of things because they confuse taking responsibility for for taking the blame. You can take responsibility for issues without taking the fault. That is why I really try to recognize the priviledge that has been given to me and try to live my life in a way where I can be a part of the solution.
@The People's Army it is a tool taught to people to make them better. If you go to literally any self help lesson they will teach you to take responsibility without feeling fault if it is not your fault. I dont get stepped on or disrespected honestly so I dont know where you got that. That lesson in itself actually gave me the opposite.. respect from others, the ability to do good in the world, the ability to have an open mind and walk in other peoples shoes. It is called empathy. I'm not going to fight with you though. If you feel differently then so be it but you really are missing out on an important life lesson not just when it comes to this sort of stuff but when it comes to probably about half of the things you are going to deal with in life. I also learned that people tend to hate in other people what they see in themselves so I would take a good look at yourself before calling out people for being 'cowards' or 'being stepped on' when you have absolutely no idea who or what I am. It is one thing to come at me and debate an issue, it is another to assume things about another and be hateful about it.
I greatly admire and appreciate all of this sister's academic and socialist achievements and her assessments on how racism in America from its beginnings into what it has now morphed into this present day has become. But throughout all of this passage of time, some four centuries, this mentality on both sides of the coin, meaning the provider as well as the recipient of racism has only reinforced the idea. Racism has graduated from a tradition into a philosophy!
@@BankonJovan When someone uses the term inertia, it suggests that someone or object is speeding up or gaining ground and certainly doesn't speak well for racism. Sadly, looks like humans, as a whole insist upon regressing instead of progressing. Too bad we can't seem to raise our mental levels any higher than this continued tolerance for ignorance. When will enough be enough???!!!
WOW. Wow. Wowowowow. This is one of the most incredible Ted talks I've ever heard and that's not even a fair appraisal because this talk deserves to be on the front page of every news and information site that white people watch. Many Tedtalks are awesome but I should be required to watch this. I should have to pay money to watch this but i know it's necessary for it to be shared freely. It's not enough to have good intentions and believe that you're a good person. Basic decency is way less than enough.
At the end of the talk, white people who genuinely care and ask 'What do I do?' Rachel 'Can't you Google?!' Not sure shaming is the best way to call for more actions. And why do we have always have to be FRIEND or FOE?
Could someone please tell me how to spell the doctor's name she mentions a few minutes in? It sounds like "Dr. Sims" but that results in a lot about a video game. I'm going to try some alternate spellings to see if I can find him. Any help appreciated, thank you.
I found my own answer eventually: Dr. James Marion Sims Just wanted to update so those that ran into the same snag on Google that I did can find the truth to read about him.
I love my whiteness, and this lady is crazy to try and shame people for something they had no part in. Slavery is over lady time to move on and find a new hobby to obsess over.
Hi Will, you mentioned that you are a public speaking coach in your other comment, and that you thought that this speech was bad. I can see where you’re coming from but I disagree. This speech is concise, well-structured, powerful, perfectly targeted to her audience, not to mention inspiring and relieving to many. Her initial thought-provoking question, an example of an engaging rhetoric device used by the greatest orators, sets the tone for the speech and invites the audience to take part in the discussion. It’s a 10/10 from me. All the best, A former English teacher
I think she means that on average your skin color provides a certain benefit - skill points, if you were, to use a video game analogy. Of course there are many other factors that play into financial and social privilege or lack thereof, but this talk focused on race.

It is an easy topic, In the World today, the color of skin doesn’t matter,. All people are equal. This lady needs major Counseling . You are only a victim, if you choose to be!
So, if I chase after you with a truck and kill you because I have looked at you and concluded from your skin or hair color that you have done something wrong, that's ok with you, right? Because victims are only victimized by choice.
@Ribb Rotgut So what if he had a record? That does give self-righteous thugs the right to murder him on general suspicion that he might be bad. Even if he were "up to no good" their actions would still be premeditated murder.
@Ribb Rotgut We will never know for sure why he was in that house, because three thugs took it upon themselves to lynch him on general suspicion he was doing something wrong. You don't get to murder people just because you think they might be planning a crime.
And yet, nevertheless, according to the Bible--not that I think the Bible should be the basis of our laws. It's just important to me as a Christian--thesins of the father and mother are indeed visited upon their descendents for generations. And when I observe the real world, I see that the wrongdoing of one generation does indeed continue to do harm to the ones that follow. If you live in the US, you are paying a high price for the hundreds of years of slavery and ongoing discrimination in our country. You pay it in friends you don't have, neighborhoods you're probably uncomfortable to visit, business profits that would be higher if everyone's full talents were recognized, and innovations we don't get because we don't hire people purely on talent.
professorlilith How, exactly, are blacks not equal? Can they not vote? Can they not attend Harvard, Princeton or Yale? Can they not play in the NFL, NBA, The Masters Tournament? Can they not live in multi-million dollar homes in affluent communities? Can they not become a US senator, congressman, President of the United States of America? Can they not win Academy Awards or Nobel or Pulitzer Prizes? Exactly how is another race oppressing blacks? By telling them they are oppressed. What kind of strange, perverse pleasure do we get from doing this?

Nonsense
There is nothing more wretched and pathetic than a woke white woman.
@@shanawnee90 It's not empathy. It's "pathological altruism" (search) that morphs into white masochism.
Just saw Rachel speak on red table talk and thought she was amazing. Came here to learn more. Inspiring
Thank you for your courage Rachel; keep doing what you do, speak truth, speak truth to power, we are honored by your gift of written and spoken WORD!
That really was one of the most beautiful TED talks!!
Racism isn't so hard to figure out. It's a chosen behavior by each individual. Either you're part of the pollution or you're part of the solution.
same can be said of other totalitarian "Us vs them" ideologies.
Yes to your Ted Talk...I'm sooooooo proud of you!!!!!!
Great Speaker. I do admire you xx

The reactions show how far we still have to go! What more do we have to show?we dont hate...we help/teach even though MUUCH of our history is ERASED!

Thank you so much for talking of this argument. Lovely watching and listening to you here at the top of the mountain of Italy.

Thank you for your articles and this video! Your contribution is so valuable!!!
Bravo!!
Thank you for all you do. This was a wonderful talk.
this is so wonderful. it needs way more views
Beautiful 🙏🏽
One of the best talks I've seen on this topic. It should have more views.
Truth
At the end of the talk, white people who genuinely care and ask 'What do I do?'
Rachel 'Can't you Google?!'
Not sure shaming is the best way to call for more actions. And why do we have always have to be FRIEND or FOE?
You’re incredible!

I found my own answer eventually: Dr. James Marion Sims

HIs name was James Marion Sims.
Thank you for this 🙏🏼
P.S. In other words, your hatred is entirely your own.
Love this!!!
I love my whiteness, and this lady is crazy to try and shame people for something they had no part in. Slavery is over lady time to move on and find a new hobby to obsess over.
She is incredibly well meaning and incredibly miseducated by her teachers and professors. Ton of potential if guided better

We cannot indict the past. We can only learn from it.
what did you learn????
Ja Slavery is bad. Jim Crow is bad. Lynching is bad. Let’s not do that stuff anymore.

The People's Army No one told me. I figured it out myself.
The People's Army You may be reading me wrong. Perhaps you were primed for your response?
Yes👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💕💕💕💕
*We were ALL an experiment God only knows what the experimenters were looking for, or whether they achieved it*
Wow this was painful to watch. Gotta say though it takes guts to brand someone as benefiting when you know nothing but their skin color bravo
I think she means that on average your skin color provides a certain benefit - skill points, if you were, to use a video game analogy. Of course there are many other factors that play into financial and social privilege or lack thereof, but this talk focused on race.
I am a public speaking coach. This is not good public speaking. it has NOTHING to do with her race or gender.

I’m not bending my knee for you, your not a queen you are not above God.
Thou shalt not bear the weight of the Sins of the Father- or the mother. Guilt is not transmitted via DNA.
Not about guilt. Try listening again.
