I really enjoyed the Ted Talk- very powerful and I will definitely show this to my students as I know that many will be able to identify with this perspective. I also appreciated the salient message: Listen. We all need to listen more. I also appreciated how the speaker equated whiteness with freedom- simplistic and helpful. I feel like I am grappling with the concept of white privilege much better now- and this is so important- especially as a white mother of black children.
