This is one of the best audience I've seen in all Ted Talks!
Thank you so much for talking of this topic.
Be a shining diamond because no matter how many cuts you have you can always shine and can never be broken.
From a RUclipsr 💜🤍💜
Live love and courage. Inspire
what a brilliant speech and a brilliant woman!
Wow this was such a wise lecture! Wish more people saw things this way.
Great message. ♥️
Lovely! Thank you!
Amen, sister
Best ted talk yet
I’m a straight white guy and do stand up for the rights of my oppressed fellow humans
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell the world about the situation in Belarus - the police kill and beat people for a different opinion.
Rather than being so obsessed with slavery that existed 150 years ago in the USA we can start by ending slavery and illicit slave trades that exist in Africa and Asia today.
I'm for exterminating the child traffickers within the US. That's a real injustice I can support ending.
Solitary Reaper are you talking about America? Because that’s definitely not the least racist country
Wage slavery is a form of slavery. We should end widescale slavery in our own societies before we start addressing the problems of others. You can't help others if you don't help yourself.
@@SolitaryReaper666 Free stuff? No, it is the people who monopolize the capital of a country that get "free stuff" by harnessing and controlling the profits made up by the wage value of the labor done by the wage slaves. I agree, people shouldn't get free stuff.
@Honest Person I'd never heard of it before. I just watched it at your mentioning it. My conclusion is there are some people so sick in the head they whine and moan about the environment, but use people for their own sick perversions. They've convinced themselves the world is their playground and they don't want the unwashed masses despoiling it for them. They have no root morality beyond what they want. If they could only infect themselves with their delusion, I'd pity them, but when they abuse children, manipulate markets and corrupt societies--the millstone is too kind a remedy (...speaking of the ocean).
If I'm looking for additional nefarious undertones to her speech, it looks like she might be trying to advocate less government oversight of what happens out in remote island areas (because "the seas belong to all of us"), which would have facilitated trafficking.
The fact that each of her points got such applause makes it clear that this talk was given to the complete wrong crowd. She makes a great point about the power of "unlikely allies", but it sounds like the whole audience are "likely allies"
This is just preaching to the choir
The trouble is that the people this needs to reach don’t have any interest in helping anyone but themselves.
That's The Progressive Way.... Alienate everyone and destroy everything
@@yolandaponkers1581 Nobody owes anyone any help. The people that need to be preached to are the ones doing the wrong thing, the criminals in communities where snitching is not socially acceptable. Go there, change their perspective on life, then they won't be a burden on their community and the country and everyone can benefit. Instead of preaching about these imagined mass racists that are everywhere apparently.
FBeckenbauer4 if that’s the answer, then go do it! Start with your own community, where you could make the most difference.
@@geistzilla call to action.... Against a made up problem
Sometimes da more you force it da more it goes the other way ie the law of detachment
thank you so much ✨❤️❤️❤️
We can start by making sure that women aren't treated like it's 1153 AD in the middle-east
Nice
Every individual can make a difference... :)
When is ted finally talking huh?
Why are there no Turkish subtitles?
?
Why is there an A article? “A more”
wouldn't it become ''More just worlds''?
I feel like it would change the meaning of the sentence.

the comment about JFK being an "unlikely ally" towards the civil rights movement is more than a little concerning honestly. He wasn't, he did it because he realized the country would collapse otherwise.
What is "Justice?" Nice word, but what do you mean by it?
Watch the video instead of commenting.
@The Sweaty Nerdie Fair treatment by whom? What is "fair" treatment? Be specific.
@@yolandaponkers1581 I did. Her anecdote about segregation over 50 years ago is sad, but I'd argue that forced integration violates the Freedom of Association principle. Is it "just" to force a baker to create custom art in support of events and ideologies that violate his religious conscience?
I totally agree, justice is subjective and situational. That's all BS. The Law is the most objective justice you can get - love it or hate it. The rest is personal wants, needs and feelings that are always subjective.
@@cla99009 justice is that which is served to the scum roaming around on the streets of Gotham.
I will serve justice. I am the darkness
I am the night.
I'm batman
I don't really know what I was going for there Batman's not even my favourite superhero....
No, just hold everyone to the same standard and be that standard.
That sounds great, but lacks purpose. You have to take action. You have to not only be an example, but an educator.
This would be fine if it was a level playing field at the start. But that is not so and you are not doing what you set out to do.
Easily SAID. Very very very hard to do.
BonesTheCat So hard to do if you are disadvantaged. Don’t you believe that we don’t all have the same chances? Well, we don’t.
@@brendarua01 Life isn't fair, and nobody owes you any field at all, much less a level one. Go to some communist utopia like China and see how far complaining will get you. Plus I don't believe for a second that you would attempt to "level the field" in an honorable way.
“And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.”
Someday...
So inspiring.
Arabic translation ?!! ):
Can you please learn english. Like the whole world do. Thanks
Hans Franz, the irony of you posting your comment on a talk about being tolerant of differences is absurd. Your spelling errors make it seem like you barely speak English. So, maybe you should take your own advice and learn some English yourself first. Arabic is quite worth learning as well. It’s difficult to learn languages; show some respect. Because in your comment you come across as embarrassingly ignorant and small-minded.
translation for arabs: peace.

Communicate. Even when it's uncomfortable or uneasy. One of the best ways to heal, is simply getting everything out.
Also, educating ourselves about what others are going through, rather than sitting and waiting to be educated, is important. :)
Other than her story about the discriminatory ballet studios, I don't hear anything new here. White allies are *not* unlikely. In fact, though it's hard to do demographics on protests, I get the feeling that more white people participated in George Floyd protests than black, by a lot.
Also, this talk seems at odds with the message of so many other antiracist groups: "white allies, be quiet." Maybe both groups would agree on having white allies call out the ballet studios. But the issues that are being called racist today are not ballet studios rejecting blacks. (If a ballet place did that today, they would be prosecuted and publicized, and rightly so.)
You missed the overall point. The message is timeless.
Just what I thought... 101. She went back 50 years to let us know why she's a victim now. Guess what... black girls are not turned away from ballet class anymore! Because people DID change! But it's never enough. She's speaking like no one wants to help anyone who's different. Leftists require you change until there's no longer any discrepancy of thought. Identity politics. She lets you know who the victims are and that their only flaw is having trouble letting "unlikely allies" help them out. In 2020 this is an insult to Miss Annes memory and those like me who agree with her actions. "The fight for equity" will never be over because the definition of equity constantly changes. This insures the fight can go on as if no change has occurred at all. Disgraceful.
the problem is that in america, discussions of race only inlcude white, black, and sometimes latinos... everyone else is ignored, big turn off if youre looking for 'allies'
If you had actually watched the video before commenting, you would have heard her mention multiple groups.
The problem is that people have not left the racist left. Their obsession with race IS THE PROBLEM not the solution.
@@remyllebeau77 fr. If you're gonna name yourself after a fictional character don't talk about politics and your bs.
@@idonthaveagoddamnname2623 If you don't have any name, don't give orders to random strangers and expect to be taken seriously. In fact, you shouldn't do it regardless of having a name.
Also.... that is NOT AN ARGUMENT.
I remember when ted talks used to be good.
I remember when crusty old mansplaining trolls weren't poisoning comment threads
Agreed. It's a lot of vacuous post modern, virtue signalling woke people pushing ideological cults.
What is the carbon footprint of the military industrial complex?
A wonderful talk from a wonderful woman.
This woman is not fighting for justice. Justice is inherently individualistic, only individuals can think. The words she’s using are all new words that are meant to confuse and brainwash you. This woman is a conscious liar, or she is so resentful about the past that she confirms her biases here in the future with her past. She uses terms like “cis” “boomer” “ally” and “gen Xer” as if these are real things. No one claims these labels, these labels are all attacks. This woman is attacking and fighting fire with fire. She is leading you all off a vengeful cliff. You did nothing wrong, you aren’t racist unless you prioritize race like this woman does.
Well, no one can cgange their heritage anyway, we can only cgange our behsviour and views. I believe, that this speaker does not attac people who really deserve this. If your existance is based on others artificially created misery, then you are predstor and you really do wrong things with lives of others. Justice can't be onesided definition.
We all need more like Miss Nita in this world.
She is a beacon of light.
YASSSS. PREACH.
I wish there was a love button ❤️
I don't understand why this has so many dislikes already. Just because unlikely allies already exist, it doesn't mean that we should stop inspiring others to do the same or remind us to stand up against any injustice we witness.
Who else is watching this in 2020??
I'm watching from 2008

The kind of unfair treatment you got as a kid is as good as gone. Women and men are earning the same for the same jobs. Justice is not a mob or people complaining, it's a system designed to make sure everybody is advocated for and treated fairly. Don't set development in reverse by seeing everything through intersectionality and victimhood lenses.
Discrediting a person’s life experience because you don’t experience it yourself is exactly what’s wrong with our society.
So when would you say racism ended? When slaves were freed? When Blacks were counted as 3/5ths of a person? When they got the right to vote? After the Tulsa massacre? After we elected a Black president? After Breonna Taylor and Elijah McClain were killed and their killers yet to face even a facsimile of accountability or justice? Your sentiments have been repeated throughout all of history by White men who insisted that marginalized people have had justice served already so we should shut up and be grateful for the scraps we have been given. It's naive, wishful thinking, and simply ignores the lived experiences of millions of people across the country. All because you are scared to look inward and face that the system you have been indoctrinated to accept is not as just as you would expect it to be; that the education you have been raised with may have been based on lies; that you may need to broaden your circles and experiences if you want to have the information to think more critically about what is happening in the world.
pjihae Sometimes I think it is less fear of looking at it, and simple inability. A lot of people don’t have the right mindset (and have not been educated to have it), and need an event to help them see where and how the system is stacked against people within it. George Floyd’s tragic death was that for many people, but it would still seem that it is not enough.
pjihae slavery still exists in regions of Africa and Asia to this day. Genocide is still a once a generational n occurrence in regions of Africa and Asia. If you’re so worried about slavery and oppression that existed in the past in the USA then perhaps you should look towards Africa and Asia where genocide, slavery and brutal oppressive n are occurring right now. Stop spouting this nonsense fantasy of systemic racism in America. There are more black millionaires in the USA than all other nations of the world combined. That shows us if they can do it anyone in America can do it REGARDLESS OF THEIR SKIN COLOR. Cry me a river privileged poc in America.
@@yolandaponkers1581 That's an accusation without content, and generally meaningless.
Usually it refers to subjective interpretation of anecdotal evidence, which is not something that can be regarded as undisputable fact.
Regarding anecdotal evidence as something that should not be questioned, that is an actual problem.

I agree! It’s so sad that common sense videos like this bring out the bigoted trolls. I can’t wait for these people to retreat back into the shadows when we get Trump out of office.
Turning a blind eye to issues that need to be spoken.

She looks a woman who studied ballet too! Her posture.
Sasha Townsend - Tulsa brainwashed by NWO
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.

Excellent!! So many excellent points!
It’s sad that what she said needed to be said, and that this call to united action triggered so many ignorant and hateful people.
9:36 Wow. There it is again. Equity. You rant and rant about equality and then call for equity. Either you don't know they are different, or you know exactly what you're doing. Either way is terrible🤦♂️
"Why don't men lead the charge for pay equity for women?"
Just because there is an inequality does not necessarily mean there is unjust discrimination. Sorry, the gender pay gap has not been proven to be due to sexism. Men work longer hours, do more dangerous jobs, and are more aggressive negotiators for salary. Obviously there is some level of sexism, but it isn't clear at all to what degree. To just make a blanket statement implying people deserve pay equity just because they're women isn't very smart.
But you stated that there is a level of sexism. So if we all want equality, why should this be a problem? And I feel the general argument at hand is that a woman can do the SAME JOB as a man but still be underpaid.
🧡🧡🧡
Honestly just a beautiful video
I'm sorry for your childhood experience, you're right that they don't know how excellent you are.

I was half on board when she started talking about how she has to fight for rights like she had to in the civil rights movement, today. And then she mentioned that there was a pay inequality between men and women. Then she completely lost me
Maybe go back and listen again 🤷🏼♀️😂
Her examples of inequity were 50 years old.
Women have been waiting 50+ years for equal pay. Duh.
@@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134 "Duh" That about sums it up.
that's it if we want justice we all need to speak up and call out the little injustices day to day
I speak up for groups I’m not a part of, and that seems to be her takeaway message. I fully support it and wish more people would do it.
Like the fact that slavery and an illicit slave trade still exits to this very day in Africa and Asia. Genocide occurs at least once a generation in many countries in Africa and Asia. Meanwhile the USA has more black millionaires than all other countries of the world combined. 🙄 yeah you’re soooo oppressed in the USA. Africa called and they want privileged, spoiled, entitled POC in America to stop their whining.
I love her and the way she talks 🧡
👏👏👏👏
The speaker calls for 'allies', but being an 'ally' will never be enough for the 'equity and justice' crowd. They throw about terms like 'justice' and 'equity', which have far different meanings to them, and they try to shame people into compliance with the threat of being labeled as a 'bigot'.
I am all for treating people with respect, and making sure that everyone has access to the same quality of healthcare, education, safety and employment. What I am not for being compelled, shamed or threatened into acting or behaving a certain way.
Some of y’all commenting here would have been following black students around your school chanting “2-4-6-8, we don’t wanna integrate” and it shows.
You're a prime example of white guilt.

That's not how you spell "propaganda".
Remy Lebeau Explain to me how advocating for equality is “propaganda.” Seriously. Explain it to me.
@@yolandaponkers1581 Mainstream democrats, BLM, and identity politics. It's all communist. The leaders of BLM openly admit it and openly demand those goals. Identity politics is straight out of the communist divide and conquer agenda.
Remy Lebeau Do you even understand the definitions of the terms you’re using, and have you ever actually read BLM’s mission? I seriously doubt you have.
@@yolandaponkers1581 it's propaganda when it proposes therr is inequality where there isn't. It's propaganda when it advocates interpreting the world in context of race and racism when that is a bad model for understanding. It's propaganda when it advocates solutions that are ideologically motivated, and disruptive to society and interpersonal relations.

6:05 Wow. Surprised you used the right word. Such a shame that you tried to rush over it though. "Pay equity for women". Equity as opposed to equality. Because you already know we have equal chances. Women just make poor earning potential choices because they value other things more on average. And that's their right, is it not? Who are you to demand that women are only allowed to do certain jobs? Sounds pretty anti women.

@@tee4468 If you think that was a slow sentence, I really wonder how you speak everyday.
You have to watch out for that "equity" word - Lately it is used to suggest equality of outcome. That is not it's actual meaning, but that is how it is often used.
Also, it's funny how you don't hear about anyone complaining that there isn't equal gender representation in dangerous jobs....
@@cla99009 Equity does mean equality of outcome, which is what most of these people are pushing for under the cloak of equality. Because most people actually really enjoy equality. But these people want equity. And one of them finally said it. Not fast enough to let it slide by though.
