If we hope to heal the racial tensions that threaten to tear the fabric of society apart, we're going to need the skills to openly express ourselves in racially stressful situations. Through racial literacy — the ability to read, recast and resolve these situations — psychologist Howard C. Stevenson helps children and parents reduce and manage stress and trauma. In this inspiring, quietly awesome talk, learn more about how this approach to decoding racial threat can help youth build confidence and stand up for themselves in productive ways.

O
Just ban and censor everyone you think is racist. EZ.
Good goy, here is shekel for you!
Ya cause that will fix everything why not just killem thatll really fix it oooo and we got a great way from history to kill so many at a time too gas em
We can also burn their books
No, let them voice their backwards views out in the open. That way data archives will have more proof of this cancer and it’s source. Also, I get to piss them off by telling them about history and reality. The trump-supporter sort, loathes hearing the truth.
Riana Henderson lol that’s why I wanted him to piss you guys off (the ones that don’t think) other then that only reason wasn’t gonna pick Hillary lol I’d love to hear some of those facts and historical accuracys you got on any topic or question or thinking sense you might not be brain dead 🙂 hope to hear from ya
Yes,really good talk.
Keith Marlar Why, because it validates your pathetic self loathing manifested as white guilt?
Trump squad coming through to dislike without watching.
So easily triggered
lol, he tried again…
didn’t get the reaction he wanted, better just post that same comment again.
E how many times did you post this comment?
I called people who disagree with me “Triggered”. Only true intellectuals can understand the subtly of my humor.
Nice try.

Riana Henderson jim crow wasnt even that bad. Look up russian Bolsheviks… and they were all white you whimp.
Valient Six Someone should oppress you and descendants for a couple of hundred years then I’ll take your nonsense seriously. Good thing for you all other ilks don’t have this evil streak, historically speaking.
One way to say it could be. “The popularity of something doesn’t make it correct.”
Riana Henderson you do realize that Africa had white slaves from 700ad to 1787ad right? The entire reason the United States navy was created is because black countries were taking white slaves in North Africa. Also the Muslim conquests of Italy france and Spain resulted in millions of whites being slaves and forced into marriages to afro asians. I think 700 years trumps your pathetic 200 years of what would be considered luxurious american living standards compared to the Barbary coast or Libya. Go suck on a historical article for a while. You ignorant shrew. Look up the Barbary slave trade. And Alexander Hamilton shores of Tripoli.
Reminds me of the Morgan Freeman interview with Don Lemon when the latter tries to make it racially-charged conversation and Freeman replies that “making it a bigger issue than it needs is a problem we have.” Share your personal story and inspire others to summon the strength and courage to move onward towards success, just as you did. Don’t empower individuals who create barriers for themselves and perpetuate negative stereotypes.
shugo104 This is truth
*WE*
No
Tell that to the Boers.
oaxacachaka
CNN didn’t tell Mandy what to think so a problem doesn’t exist.
oaxacachaka Children are massacred, raped, tortured and murdered in America and every other nation on Earth. Quit the nonsense.
Not as often as South Africa and not because of their race.
The moment you defend apartheid is the moment you lose the argument.
During apartheid, dissidents were abducted and executed without warning. Sure, ‘way better’.
He started with some good points, but completely threw me off by defending Trayvon Martin. Ever mention his thuggery or the fact that George Zimmerman is hispanic? Of course not, that doesn’t fit the narrative.
Mandy Louw I believe evidence and witness testimony.
In the autopsy report, the coroner stated that treyvon was shot while standing over the shooter. Photographs of Zimmerman show he was assaulted as does his blood and hair on the ground from where trevon hit George’s head.
hotshot
It’s a big difference. It might be how some speak but the difference is, one is a suggestion, the other is a lawful order.
I concede that. (regarding the difference between police and dispatch) It’s not the point I was trying to make.
Zimmerman is def white passing and Treyvon didn’t do anything that night to be stalked and killed. Your judgement is severely off and this is exactly what this video is trying to address..
Nathan Prindler He’s not Mexican check your facts.
I bet people were in the crowd like “god dammit I was hoping to get a new way to clean the oceans”
Woe Woe Bet there aren’t. Adults tend to be able to handle more than one issue at a time and aren’t afraid to face reality
(((adults)))
Riana Henderson I bet adults like to condescend on others via Youtube too.
If you identify with your race first instead of who you are as a person you have the same problem as people who see race first in others.
GloryToArya 8841 Where did I say “everyone did it, so let’s call it even”? You interpreted that, I never implied anything like that. All I’m saying is that thinking in racial divison does no good, from either side. Of course there is still a lot of racial injustice all over the world but if you base your entire identity on “your” history all the time, no matter if you want to spread awareness for racism or if you want the British Empire back, you are still focusing on the differences that separated people in the past instead of living in the now, independant from your race.
GloryToArya 8841 Ever heard about what the Japanese did to the Chinese? Ever heard about the Muslims enslaving Europeans? Ever heard of every single tribe since the dawn of man being in a struggle of dominate or be dominated? Only white European societies have truly freed and liberated all. No other societies have welcomed in other cultures and allowed them to flourish.
Technocracy the weak and dumb are replaced. That is how life has issued extinction after extinction of species.
GloryToArya 8841 you have not taken into consideration that whites were slaves for 700 years in northern Africa. The entire reason the usa navy war created was to stop these black countries from enslaving whites. Look up Alexander Hamilton shores of Tripoli. They were doing it since 790ad. Screw 200 years of luxury in white america. Imagine being a slave in africa in 1000ad?
Riana Henderson you are ill informed and ignorant. No excuse to tell lies about whites never experiencing subjugation.
white people will end up on zoo after 100 150 years after all this race diversity on white states…..good job white people ……racist is a code word for non whites !!!!!
68white Shut it monkey
You should give education another bash and avoid Ted Talks.
Find something to laugh about with other person. End of story. Ted is part of the bigger problem trying to seperate us
I think Howard and I are related lol – same what I grew up with 🙂
Stick to your remit TED…its becoming the media wing of the marxist democrat party. Finger hovering on unsubscribe.
Stay, we need quality shitposters and dedicated dislike squad ^^
David Wilton please push!
David Wilton bye
Segregation is the answer.
Dack Hacksaw
a bot! LOL
NordProductions a bot!
I’m a Russian bot.
Level Joe You’ve just repeated what I said verbatim. Then went on to have a weird celebratory laugh. Strange behaviour, this…
Riana Henderson The behavior of a non response
dialogue is necessary; and practice is required… and yes, should be repeated over and over again… deep roots, long history. a lot to heal and overcome… — unlikely to happen overnight… therefore, participation and practice
Such a brilliant and eloquent talk, it’s a shame about the trash in the comments.
