Duuuur dur dur duuuur
Comment from : That 1 Joe

This well meaning guy just insists on being a passive victim in life, and no amount of opportunity will change that Not one mention anywhere of any determination to succeed, not one mention of anything his culture could do to help He should include people of his background in this talk, to explain the coming hurdles of life But a big disadvantage is to just come from a single parent family that doesn't have a drive to excellence and that doesn't teach kids to focus on achievement These things are taught in many Jewish and Asian familiesbrThere's a grain of truth in everything I heard here but there is still a lot that is missing from this talk that would help the 'doubly disadvantaged' Yes, colleges could give out vouchers for meals during breaks and explain to poor students about help from teachers There should be some part of campus to stay during breaks, although leaving every dorm open might not be practical brLastly, if you've graduated from Amherst, clean up your grammar, it's free and easy and it's the language of success to speak in an articulate manner

Amazing
Comment from : Jasmine

Wow With cancel culture and a shift in affirmation, access is persistence Once the persistence ends the overall motivation ceasesbrbrI am starting to believe that consistency is not good enoughbrbrI have noticed that for the last ten years, I don't have a demographic to fit into Not even the homeless are considered a group because of their inconsistencies

Comment from : Cat Paige

Love this take on diversity and inclusion Having one does not mean automatically having access to the other Just because students get into these schools and “Made it”, doesn’t mean they have access to resources because those resources were often not made with their thoughts in mind
Comment from : Yasmine Bassabi

Such a powerful speech Thank you Prof Abraham Jack
Comment from : Eilis Kierans

Why do we always add Latinos to our struggle? It’s weird and cringe; where I live Latinos are the fastest growing group economically, by far We DON’T share their struggle
Comment from : Will Ward

Listen people It's not about Diversity Equity and Inclusion It's about Labeling people enemies who do not agree with EDI Racists, Homophobs, Transphob, white Nationalist, Nationalist, Christian Nationalist So if you don't go along with EDi they Label you, and arrest you This is Socialism folks Wake up to what they are teaching

That's a very white audience, isn't it? But that's the right audience
Comment from : Mister Gee

This is such a thoughtful and informative Ted Talk This is the power of storytelling which facts can only quantify but not totally represent You also show why diverse voices must be included if we want to solve the problems of today!
Comment from : Kelly Peterson

Wow You took the words out of my head and spoke them for me so they are understood 🤯 Thank you! ❤
Comment from : Freedom of Expression

I have watched hundreds of TED Talks, especially for academic reasons This is by far one of my favorites now Professor Jack is extremely well spoken and easy to listen to I love this
Comment from : Libby Rivers

I'm glad that he mentioned female privelage in this talk I feel like we still have a long way to go before men's issues are taken seriously since we still live under the insane lie that women are treated like second class citizens in America, but the first step is acknowledging the disparity between the advantages that women have and the lack of access, inclusion and attention that men face Men are dying everyday from the inability to have their needs met while women are drowning in attention and privelage I don't want to knock down women, I just want men to have the ability to not be seen as subhuman monsters Men face an epidemic of violence, but when violence happens to men, it's seen as deserved, whereas when women experience violence, it's seen as more severe because women are more valued Women never have to be lonely and they can always eat or find allies if needed Men will never enjoy this privelage, and many men kill themselves each day from loneliness
Comment from : B Smith

This is so well said, and so important! Thank you, Anthony Jack, for talking about this This was one of the best talks I've ever seen!
Comment from : chlo

Wow That was by far one of the most impactful and relevant talks on Diversity I've heard Although there were laughs at the dating apps turned food delivery apps, I couldn't find the humor, as I was deeply troubled and sorrowed by the fact that for some, this is the only way to ensure their basic needs are met while trying to get an education Amazing, actionable points, A+ Professor Jack

That’s right!!! Thank you for your service to helping diversity flourish!
Comment from : Somebody U Usedtoknow

t's nothing more than racial quotas They just destroyed the schools for the academically gifted in NYC because certain "groups" didn't make the grade So, rather than encourage the "groups' to study harder (like the Asian students do), they eliminated the entry qualifications in favor of a lottery system They in effect numbed down the elite schools I don't know what other country in the world would do such a self defeating thing, particularly in light of the fact that the USA rates 22nd in the world when it comes to math and science Anyway, it was done to meet racial quotas So much with a color blind, merit based society
Comment from : Michael Stark

The laughter ehn!!!!!
Comment from : adediji richard

I just assume you take a first class one-way flight to your homeland The more of you, the worse the country gets And not just this country, but every single country you're allowed to stay in It's not racism, it's a simple fact supported by mountains of data Have a great voyage
Comment from : Mighty Red Stallion

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion - three different words that mean the same thing, QUOTAS!

If you are smart enough to go to an Ivy you can figure it out There are countless student organizations at every school Lot of international students have no place to go Tag along with them on breaks
Comment from : Phil

REAL talk! First gen student here I am now a 4th year my encouragement is GO TO OFFICE HOURS! I originally had no clue in the world what they were until this year and they are so helpful! We get the 1 on 1 that we need and deserve Even if you don't have any questions about your class go and get to know your professors they are real people I promise
Comment from : Angelica Tibbitts

Very well said It happens all over the world I am in the Caribbean and I know about walking past the closed cafeteria and restaurants I know of not having anywhere to go and have even lay down on a bench in the campus yard when the dorm was unaffordable and I couldn't pay my fees as I did not get the loan from the Government I recall having to 'cowgirl' aka clean up in a public toilet I was forced to leave and never finished university, and they didn't even ask why I dropped out I had to live with a single mom friend and her low income family of 4 and even slept on the floor and had to take on live caregiver jobs hen the family lost their job and apartment I even had to take tissue paper that was being used to dry hands in public toilets hen I could not even afford that Yeah and I am still here Keep safe
Comment from : Veronica Adele

I love the spoken word poetry - great talk
Comment from : Alaina da Costa

Diversity is not including blacks in everything You can have a group of all whites, or all browns in 1 room, and still be diverse Diversity is the different traditions, cultures, and attributes 1 grew up into; and being involved in 1 environment
Comment from : Robert Andrade

Racists are the most racially diverse group of people in America today If all of our institutions and industries were as racially diverse as racists,brracial diversity would be achieved
Comment from : james mayhew

I was left wanting to learn more
Comment from : Addie Rivera

Forever relevant this talk! Thank you
Comment from : Venetia B

Thank you, Professor- This talk was for sure an eye opener Not a lot of people realize what others don't have, just because they got into a top university, others think they must have it all to even get in the first place I wish to see a lot more campuses being inclusive to the ones who can't afford to leave on breaks, or don't have places to go and also keep dining areas open for the ones who can't afford to go out and get a meal and rely on the meal plan I also hope that more institutions, as they do put millions of dollars into diversity recruitment, think a lot more about what to do when students arrive on campus How they can include them, etc
Comment from : Summer Thompson

bIf diversity is so good, why do you have to tell people to celebrate diversity? If diversity was great wouldn't people know to celebrate it?/b brbrI never see a bumper sticker that says chocolate tastes great Everyone knows chocolate tastes great You don't need a bumper sticker to tell you something everyone knowsbrbrThe happiest countries on earth have hardly any diversity

It should be the instructor's responsibility to clearly explain the meaning of office hours and how office hours are meant to help students with their learning process

YES WHY NOT HIRE THE BEST PERSON FOR JOB
Comment from : ToBad SoSad

wow This is giving me deja vu As a “doubly disadvantaged” student going into a top notch college, I struggled with the hardship, the connection and the overall inclusion of the place myself This is 1000 true If it wasn’t for my research professor and his wonderful wife (also a faculty) I wouldn’t of lasted much longer feeling as if I was the only one in the room, alone, in a sea of geniuses I have since submitted my honor thesis and will graduate in April of 2021 with honors (knock on wood)

Comment from : Liz Davidson

1 "The Third World Transition Program" welcomes new students to Brown with programs that center the student of color experience By exploring systems of oppression that influence us everyday, such as racism, classism During TWTP, we call on all participants to reconsider their history and aspects of their identity and introduce students to support structures and resources available to them 2Along with the "Brown Center for Students of Color" and the "Undocumented, First-Generation College, and Low-Income Student Center", new students for Brown will probably be informed about office hours as well as just how traumatized they should feel at their plight

Comment from : suckgames

Diversity shouldn't just be about race, it should be about ability, disability the under privileged (low income earners)
Comment from : JJ

I enjoyed your speech and it's both relatable and powerful Thank you for tackling topics like this the world needs to hear it!
Comment from : N B

There are only two facets one must have to be successful and it has nothing to do with race; problem solving skills and social skills, mainly to sell, sell yourself and selling your solutions If you don't focus on those two skills no diversity will help you That's why they invented socialism It's for the lazy, so is diversity
Comment from : Eric Williams

You're a professor? Do you need someone to hold your hand through everyday life because you don't have the intelligence to use your brain to work out things that a pre-schooler can? Do you expect the world to bow down to you and hand you all your wants and desires?brI think you should listen to what you say in this video and realise that it makes you look like a moron
