$hit! I don’t remember that fighting against racism was a far left propaganda, I thought it was just pure human being decency. Minorities being killed by the police for things that white people get away with it’s a fact. Wake up from your rainbows and ponies world.

she mentioned something about working with youth but itoo think it would have been helpful if she provided more concrete examples of what she did – it’s examples that make taking big steps seem more real and doable and provoke listeners to consider their own possibilities.

@zee Please consider that what you’re saying is dangerous. Don’t talk down on people’s experience with racism if you’ve never come close to experiencing it yourself. I can only imagine the reason you’re here writing that comment is because you feel like people are too hard on the poor nazis. Hold yourself accountable first.

@Esel im not saying to like racist LOL. people are racist, because how they where raised, or a bad event. You don’t punished a drug addict for doing drugs why punish a racist for what they can’t control. Punish an extream racist for killing someone not every racist for thinking. Im not white people have been racist towards me. Guess what. Because I treated them with respect. They aren’t racists anymore. I have single handedly, done more to fix racism then all of blm…

It is very much a shame to realise the obligatory quotas TED has set for itself. This talk – like several others in the past few months – is just dreadful dogmatic babble, of very low quality and value. I suppose it meets the “main criterion” though…

There’s no “Strive Toward Freedom” about any of this so called Black Equality political activism that this talk associates with.
No privilege to be seen here! – I can choose to leave my job without fear of destitution at any time I like – particularly when I need to take the moral high ground after my people across the country have lost it and put themselves in the moral and ethical gutter by encouraging and then burning , looting and ransacking thousands of other peoples’ workplaces.
Its a firmly established understanding of civilised thought in foundational ethics that for the ends to be justified the means also have to be justified- A case in this persons cause that fails the test.

Quitting your job during a pandemic without any plan doesn’t sound like the wisest advice. You’re also 34 years old, which is the average age for WNBA/NBA retirement so you didn’t so much “opt-out” as retire to then leverage the WNBA platform to spread a message about “opting-out” of it, i.e. what you call “positive change.”
