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
First year English Language Arts teacher here, I will be calling my class Life Arts from now on! Thanks 😊

@@sonyahathaway51293years later, have you fully imbibed the marxist culture of the American educational system? Are you fully indoctrinated? Has your school gone all-in on the radical trans ideology, gender identity and racial politics? Have all the social dilemmas been incorporated into all areas of your curriculum? Do you see the resultant stress and anxiety in the faces of your students-and in the silent complaints of your fellow teachers? How much of your instructional time, PD time and preparation time is free of incorporating the myriad social agendas? Don’t go along to get along. Speak out on the bullsh*t before you lose your soul, be one nothing more than a sellout, and cause immeasurable harm to the children whom you entered the profession to help.
Its great to see mentors like us teach functionality to the youth. Our community needs us and it starts with great leadership. Good work !
Very good, no amazing. This man needs to be heard. Thank you, Dr. Mayes.
Reading is fundamental. i love it
Amazing! So many people need to hear this!
Thanks Dr. Mayes!!
This was very insightful. Thank you
Thank you so much very informative
Reading feels like a form of reprimand to most kids of all races in all eras.
Well said mate. I too had a similar journey. Great stuff.
Amazing!
Powerful family!!!
Yes! Yes!!!
Wow , that was great .
Well spoken
That's such a beautiful suit
2 years after this video was posted and it has 7,000 views and 15 comments including this one. It’s a shame all this knowledge is going to waste :(
Absolutely not
@@blakedior7203 I agree! We're here, aren't we?
@@moniqueloomis9772 indeed we are
To waste? Lol, but you were here and so were 7000 other people, haha.
Everything you mentioned has to be taught in college. Or must be learned by choice.
Better late than never! 👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
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.
nice
Why are there several churches in the same neighborhood 🤔
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.
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? .
Thank you for mentioning LGBT folk. Reading their books gave life meaning and helped me earn a Ph.D. in LGBT Studies
@@derrickclark5364 Those by Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (1825-1895), first known LGBT activist, architect of LGBT pride, community and movement; as well as founder of LGBT studies as a social science
Ph.d in LGBT Studies, what an utter waste of time!
@@knight4395 It got me plenty of translation and teaching jobs -- for all of 45 years

Great! Now get me my coffee!
can I do Detroit for TEDX Talk 🙋🏾♀️
Can I co-facilitate!
The adults must change their minds in order to reach their own children. What are doing to push reading instead of weaves and jordans? Know your worth before Tv tells it for you .
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
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.
Your dad changed your mind with telling you to read that book
from 2016 with 2,612 views and with 3 comments including mine only
7 now! 🤦🏾♀️
uh its overkill gotcha bye
FANGA!I must say where is the platform for the poor uneducated they are the ones with the story,,,especially of how wealth eluded the African communities in America while other communities got a foot hold through corruption and allowed to prosper,,I must say he hit one,Europeans and Arabs....I did not go college I hated school,none the less I graduated I can definitely read better then some college grads,and will out wit them with common sense,,,my only issue is I don't have this platform or some degree,,,,at the same time is it worth it as we (African) people are constantly being attacked relentlessly....while our elites run away from people that look like them instead of building us by us.ASHAY!

..also the Educational White Experience primarily represents Rich Whites.
"earned" a PhD....peak tokenism...
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".
The question is, What did you learn?
everyone in America gets the White experience in the classroom, and that is the problem
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..
@@johnathons1789 Wgere do you think world history began?
Stop making race an issue. Just stop talking about it. Tired of the bs
The ignorance 🤣
