    • @The Sweaty Nerdie Does that happen in America today? And if it does, is it “just” to force a service or labor from someone who doesn’t wish to give it? Isn’t that basically slavery?

    • @Arcux You asked a question, what’s justice. I tried to answer your question to the best of my knowledge.

      That’s all. Won’t get in any further. Peace out. ✌

    • Andrew Issland That fails to account for the biases of the people who created the laws in the first place. The system did not just magically come to be. There were people who created the laws with their agendas to begin with, and to consider the law objective is comforting, but incredibly and unfortunately immensely naive.

    • E.g. the public school system pouring all money into helping the slowest kids, while the most talented ones are thrown into the same pot, with no chance to excel.

    • Matt C She does! This talk is needed. I want to share it with everyone. Unlikely allies are welcome here. It’s beautiful.

      She looks a woman who studied ballet too! Her posture.

    • Jeff Censored! No, not brainwashed. Just grateful to see that unlikely allies are welcome. The movement is for all people who care about equality and justice. That’s a beautiful thing. When everyone comes together in common cause to promote a celebration of diversity, anti-racism, and the equality of all people, that is beautiful.

  1. I got news for this lady. We are all tired. I will never know what her message is because I bailed at 00:47.
