While i was watching this it made me feel not alone. when she was talking about the jobs i felt that because it is hard to get a job because of your skin they judge by the look of you not by what you have. You can tell she was in pain by what the world has came too and shes trying to open the worlds eyes through her words.
ReplyDeleteThis was an amazing video every second of the video gave me chills. I got goosebumps listening to her poem. good pick
ReplyDeleteI think it is really important for me to hear this and be reminded of it. I know that there is so much that I take for granted. The spoken word was very passionate and moving. I think that this is something more people need to see. It kind of shows how important and powerful someones writing can be.
ReplyDeleteThis video felt very powerful and while honestly, much of it was missed, under her speed talking, What I did hear was very controversial, and it is empowering to see that there are people out there unafraid to speak, not the truth, but their truth, and share it with the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteThe speaker spoke very fast, which is a strategy, but it was too fast for my brain at 7 in the morning. However, there are current issues in our community about this subject. If anyone was at Woodhams' 8th period Socratic seminar, it connects with some of the things we talked about then.
ReplyDeleteThen watch it again...
DeleteI might do.
DeleteI picked this video because the poet addresses the problems black people face that are often dismissed and seen as "not that serious". Being told to get over slavery and giving facts about how white people do have advantages over black people was good in a poem and I wanted people to see what black really go through and not in a news article or something but in comparison to white people, in the form of a poem
ReplyDeleteI loved this video, I think it's great that we finally talk about white privilege even though whites get uncomfortable because they're not ready to talk about it. They claim it's reverse racism but there's no such thing. I'm happy Makenna chose this video because it's a topic not many want to talk about. The part where she said we take European history as a course and African as an elective is sad because it's true and that's literally SOTA. Especially when she brought up the fact that when white people appropriate black culture it's okay but when we do it, it's "ghetto". I think more people should see this video.
ReplyDeleteI think that her spoken word is very powerful and it needs to be heard by a lot of people. The groups of people that she is targeting don't generally listen to spoken word, and I think that if they did, their perspectives would change a lot. Especially this piece of spoken word which does a good job of comparing things almost ironically which can come off condescending but honestly that's what makes it powerful. She is rightfully mad and she shows it.
ReplyDeleteAs I was listening I felt kind of like empowered in a way.Everything she was saying was true and some of the scenarios she was using aren't always brought to light. she showed not only white people but everyone the feelings of black people.
ReplyDeletethe part I seen came off as if the speaker was very determined and passionate to get her point across. I like the culture aspect that the speaker is making point of, but she spoke kind of fast.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed watching this video because she was talking about a lot of real things. One thing that she said that interested me was how black people get more time in jail than white people for the same crimes. She also said how it was harder to get a job because of your color even if you had a good record. You can also tell that she was passionate about what she was talking about and what she believed.
ReplyDeleteMakenna chose an excellent video for the morning reflection. You could hear the emotions in the poet's voice. And the poem itself was very well told. Her talking about a very contemporary issue is really brave really opens a new perspective in people. The poem was short but it when every line has its own meaning, its own history, the whole poem becomes a omphalos of knowledge. Thanks Makenna :)
ReplyDeletethanks degrajjjj
DeleteI enjoyed this video because it was very relatable. The girl made good points and said a lot of real things. She talked about how they say racism is over but still be racist. Especially when it comes to jobs. A white man is able to get a job before black. Your able to feel what she was saying because of the tone in her voice.
ReplyDeleteShe made a lot of great points as to how when black people express an aspect of their culture that they're ridiculed while when white people steal from black culture and they're praised (cultural appropriation). I completely agree with every thing she says because It's something that I see frequently, almost every day. Whether it's in the media or in real life, I see it a lot, and it's disrespectful and wrong to the people who actually come from black culture,
