Dr. Mayes...you have the gravitas to not only speak the truth of this unique situation... but to articulate it in the spirit of truth...Blessing family!!!
As an educator I totally agree my class is not called Language Arts its called Life Arts where you learn to read, think, and utilize the language to Open New Doors, eliminating excuses. Keep reading

I don't know; it seems that being educated in this European education system has become a curse to us as African-Americans, for some reason the more education we get the less we want to be around our kind there is no reason in theworld, that with the enormous amount of education and economics sucess we have achieved that we are still looking, hoping, and waiting for someone to do for us when we can definitely get it done for ourselves, is it the systemthats letting us down or are we letting our selves down? .

An "intellectual insurgency" does not account for those who have different values. I am talking about basic core values like trait openness and in-group loyalty, not any specific cultural values.

This is racialist nonsense. I'd like to see TEDx sponsor a talk by a white teacher making a compelling case for how the white experience in the classroom could have remarkable impact. None of my teachers shared my culture and that mattered not one bit. I was a child, a student whose only job was to learn. By the way, TEDx, the word is not "impact". To impact is to collide; it has a negative denotation. Better words would be "influence" or "inspire".

That's such a beautiful suit
Yes! Yes!!!
This was very insightful. Thank you
Well said mate. I too had a similar journey. Great stuff.
Wow , that was great .
We can't expect our children to be properly educated while in a state of captivity. We need to recognize that we are captive in the first place.
Everything you mentioned has to be taught in college. Or must be learned by choice.
Thank you for mentioning LGBT folk. Reading their books gave life meaning and helped me earn a Ph.D. in LGBT Studies

Affirmtive action
Where do you think Affirmative action began?
Wendell Spivey with white people showing up in America from Europe and getting “affirmative action” ever since
Why are there several churches in the same neighborhood 🤔

This is a parents fault. However they are stressed beyond belief. So changing parents minds. Will change the kids minds.
Read Gifted Hands. It is not always the parent's fault.
nice
be still, stop moving
Your dad changed your mind with telling you to read that book

uh its overkill gotcha bye
..also the Educational White Experience primarily represents Rich Whites.
This guy has never been a teacher, he should give it a try, the he will see that many blacks are not interested in there own history
not true.
This is False
What history lol
Actually he taught me.. At a whole college imagine that..

The question is, What did you learn?
everyone in America gets the White experience in the classroom, and that is the problem
Stop making race an issue. Just stop talking about it. Tired of the bs
The ignorance 🤣
