      Hi, I'm an Indian research scholar carrying out my research on the triple marginalisation of Indian Dalit women and African American women, through an analysis of their Life Writings. This research calls for a scope to talk to actual individuals who belong to the communities I am working on. Listening to the first hand lived experiences and their take on the topic I have chosen are very crucial before submitting this study to the world of existing literature.
      Would you be interested to join me for a short interview of about ten to twelve questions related to my research, virtually? Looking forward to your response.

    It is important for us humans to perceive different perspectives and listen to those people that are different from us, hear their stories and problems, react with compassion and do our part, each and every single one of us. Look inside see how this makes you feel, see how the news make you feel, gather your own information don't just trust one source. Find out if you really feel that way or have you just adapted points of views from other people (parents, friends or even coworkers) or is it really how YOU feel. That is the only way we will finally live up to this human experience and live in our full potential. Everybody is worthy and worth the same. We are defined by our actions, do your part.

    "home is behind, the world ahead, there are many paths to tread, through shadow, to the edge of night, until the stars are all alight, mist and shadow, cloud and shade, all shall fade, all shall fade" - Pippin's Song Lord of The Rings

      I LOVE Lord of the Rings, Tolkien is one of my absolute favorite authors, but that song is not about pain or oppression or horror. It is used in the film VERY differently from the way it was originally written in the book, where it was a song with lyrics written by Bilbo about returning from an adventure to a comfortable home and a warm bed.
      Holiday's performance of "Strange Fruit" definitely changed the world. But I think it's almost insulting to claim that it inspired a lighthearted song about hobbits going home, written by a white British man (in a book considered by many to have problematic depictions of race), and distracts from the power and message of HER music.
      The actual verse that was changed (there are three in the full song):
      Home is behind, the world ahead,
      And there are many paths to tread
      Through shadows to the edge of night,
      Until the stars are all alight.
      The world behind and home ahead,
      We'll wander back to home and bed.
      Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
      Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
      Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
      And then to bed! And then to bed!

      @Kevin Richards ahh glad to hear you as a white male (assuming but actually pretty obvious because of the privilege in your tone) speak out about the situation, issues and circumstances of a group you don't belong to. It's not about access to information but actually about the system and underlying racism, that part was partially true. Watch the video. Listen to the other people that are telling you from inside the group you talk about and stop talking for people you don't belong to if you don't wanna empower their voices. You are actually sadly part of the problem. Discrediting people while having no Idea what their life is like is pretty low.

    Imagine being subbed to a channel that advocates open-mindedness only to whine when serious social matters are touched upon.
    Seriously. Everytime there is some kind of racial talk or even racial representation in a Ted Talk, the dislikes are unconfortably high.
    If you think someone coming up on a crowded stage to share their life story to millions of people is asinine SJW stuff, you may seriously want to reflect on yourselves.
    And yeah, I get that technical innovations are a huge part of this channel too, which you might have primarily subbed for ; but let me remind you that technologies mainly aim to get humanity to a better place.
    With that goal in mind, the "SJW Ted Talks" are resolutely as relevant as their counterpart.

    I truly needed to hear this as a Psychology graduate and feeling overwhelmed and pressured to do something or everything at once with post graduate life. I have definitely been feeling overoverwhelmed especially with my own Podcast called "Simply Nickie Podcast " on anchorfm, Spotify , Google and Apple Podcast. I talk about mental health awareness, self care and love journey, etc. Even I too get overwhelmed and your video made me feel heard and seen. Thank you for this

      @Ribb Rotgut I do live in a western country and we do have imigration. So what? is it so important to safe the white race? Or any race? Why? Does it not matter what race you are? We live on a planet that gets more and more globalised, everything gets exchanged, everything gets mixed. If we want a future of a unionized planet, that is the way to get there. I dont talk about we have to mix or we dont have to or whatever. I just say that it does not matter if we do or if we dont.

      Hi, I'm an Indian research scholar carrying out my research on the triple marginalisation of Indian Dalit women and African American women, through an analysis of their Life Writings. This research calls for a scope to talk to actual individuals who belong to the communities I am working on. Listening to the first hand lived experiences and their take on the topic I have chosen are very crucial before submitting this study to the world of existing literature.
      Would you be interested to join me for a short interview of about ten to twelve questions related to my research, virtually? Looking forward to your response.

    I like to keep things simple, everyone should have the same opportunity towards equality and law. It is important for us humans to perceive different perspectives and listen to those people that are different from us, hear their stories and problems, react with compassion and do our part, each and every single one of us. Look inside see how this makes you feel, see how the news makes you feel, gather your own information don't just trust one source.

    Le racisme est un fait et il ne disparaîtra pas pour l’instant surtout si les discours sont toujours les mêmes.. oui c mal,oui c injuste mais oui c humain. Les gens ne s’aiment pas, il faut le dire. Les etres humains se détestent entre eux sauf exception . Voilà acceptez qui vous êtes et essayez de changer si cela vous déplaît sinon attendons ensemble que tout cela s’arrange avec la maturité ... Ariane,mère célibataire d’un garçon métis .
