Racism makes our economy worse — and not just in ways that harm people of color, says public policy expert Heather C. McGhee. From her research and travels across the US, McGhee shares startling insights into how racism fuels bad policymaking and drains our economic potential — and offers a crucial rethink on what we can do to create a more prosperous nation for all. "Our fates are linked," she says. "It costs us so much to remain divided."

I’m just happy that TED Talks has started getting back on track with thought provoking speakers. Unfortunately, there is racism and inequality around the world. Racism is not just a black/white issue. Wow, I could list combinations of racism (even “conditional” racism) and never expose them all. She is right. Racism does hurt everyone. I’ve even told people of various persuasions, “If you don’t want to be treated like a stereotype, don’t present yourself as a stereotype.” The old saying, “You have to be taught to hate,” remains true.
Mr Mike – Very profound.
Racism today works in only one direction. Working white man bad. Blk people that refuse to work, and chose instead to deal in drugs, money, bitches, and murder are good, and THEY are victims of white racism, 24/7.
whats with the dislike ratio
TheKon she just finished explaining that concept!
T E D is another victim of racism, or at least the perception of it.

So become blind then. Funny how right-wingers hate liberal hollywood… until they meet someone who gives them superficial advices they want to hear.
*warning read b4 communists delete*
Most people don’t hate others because of skin color. The hatred stems from leftist pontificating. It also stems from absence of accountability, the prevalence of degeneracy & the tolerance of evil.
*eat that*
@Naci Rema ….
I’m half Vietnamese and I willingly choose to live in a clean, safe, EXTREMELY LILLY WHITE neighborhood.
Why can’t you accept the truth that living with blacks is extremely dangerous? What are you….12 years old?
Moron.
Ooh. Quick. Delete this post because it hurts your feelings. Ahhh. Poor baby
@Right Wing Lutheran Cowgirl Can you be more specific? Your language is very vague and flowery.
@Naci Rema Does Hollywood have an agenda, of course they do, to make money.
Problem is they listen to a minority of social media asshats with opinions of how the world should be not how it is.
Common sense seems not to be common any more.
And so do race baiters.
She is an awesome speaker!
