  1. i dont need to hear about 'racism' from an african boy or girl. i can get it for free from the joo'ish race-hustling media spanning across their greedy-global-wimpy-marketing/media attempts lol

  2. It’s nothing to do with race and everything to do with safety. If any other race committed the same amount of crime then police would respond the same way

  3. I hate to have to be the one to inform Kenny but the police can incarcerate an individual for up to 72 hours for no reason whatsoever. That's just how it is I'm afraid. Yet another reason not to get uppity with them I suppose. Chris Rock has done a PSA on how to handle police encounters. I encourage everyone to seek it out.

  4. I would like to invite you to come speak in Vermont. The second whitest state in the union. Has one of the highest opioid use disorder rates in the USA with alarming death rates. One of the highest rates of housing discrimination in the USA. History of wrongful foreclosures. The fish rots from the head.

  5. Professor??? Solutions??? AND YOU DON'T MENTION DR. FRANCES Cress- Welsings' "Isis Paper", the key to the colors? NO, mention of White's fear, of genetic annihilation.
    whiteSupremacy?

    NO MENTION of Mr. Neely Fuller's – UNITED INDEPENDENT COMPENSATORY CODE SYSTEM CONCEPT; A textbook, workbook for victims of whiteSupremacy.

    Teacher? Political Scientist? Please… Peace

  6. very well presented. We do have a problem with law enforcement. The police, the justice and the penal systems are overwhelmingly prejudiced against both minorities and people of lower intelligence and income, in essence people who are weaker than themselves.

  7. this Ted Talk is changing me. It is making me go deeper into my own implicit biases. Powerful witness to what must change in me and in our country…Thank you!!!

  8. ❤I ❤Megan you inspired me showing your frustration. I am so frustrated as well. Your absolutely correct 100% How can we stop this. I get so worked up on how people are being racism towards others not even realizing it. If I knew you will give huge hug and high fives. One day I would love to create some kind punishment threw judgement system. There always punishment for everything but, bothers me there isn’t nothing in writing for racism just as hate crime.

  9. Wonderful talk… There's a huge component that's overlooked.. It's less about cops being afraid, because they can be afraid of an armed white person, and devise peaceful deescalation, so fear of their safety is not the driving force.. The driving force is a fundamental lack of value of the lives of people of color.. Training on tactics, round table talks, education, etc, has nor impact when there's a fundamental lack of value of others.. It's the same way we can listen to killings and disasters around the world and sleep peaceful at night.. Those are people over there, and in our compartmental value system we disconnect with any real value of "Them over there".. The narratives perpetuated against people of color, further fuel. and justify the core belief that our lives have little or no value ..

  10. When will these experts on historical trauma and victimhood begin to incorporate in their lectures the horrors associated with the 100 Million white people (including Americans) who were wiped of the face of the earth circa 1916 to 1945 in Europe not to mention the horrors of the millions that survived this piece of history that seems so conveniently forgotten?
