Of all the videos I have watched on discrimination, I have noticed that when minorities speak on the topic they get more 'dislikes' vs. 'likes' averages, than when Caucasians speak on the same topic. Interesting study to conduct and report on (perhaps from a specific group- to make the topic more relevant to some). Speaker was so absolutely great and powerful in highlighting discrimination at its core; that even when he was not saying a single word or trying to.....he made his topic clear.

After reading the comments on this video, I want to ask. Did some of you actually watch the video? The title alone made some of you angry/upset and disliked the video. In a sense this videos comment and dislikes makes this TED presentation %100 accurate.

The comments section truly reflects what Mr. Williams is talking about here.

All this salt in the comment section though. It's like people get triggered anytime someone mentions race. Sad.

The poor educational system has castrated a lot of our people in America

He seems like a smart and sensible man, I wasn't expecting him to present such a sympathetic view towards (unintentionally) racist police. He's far kinder than me, or most people

The aggressor paint the victim as the aggressors, and they themselves paint themselves as the victims.

Make America do better again.

It’s not the skin that counts. It’s the person you are.

If the system have been designed to benefit some over others then that is what we see in society.

David this is what society keeps denying. This is so, so true. As a lawyer of 20 years in Britain am being told that as I did not work for a Legal 500 I do not qualify for a job in the private sector. I worked for government. How many other minorities are facing this invincible wall? This is an institutional form of discrimination. Thank you for sharing.

The world needs more people like David R. Williams. What a great talk.

As one who has given a TEDx Talk before on a subject that touches on racism, this talk is very enlightening and really helps highlight something I as an indigenous African simply had absolutely no clue about. I challenge those who are watching to also research further on what he touched on about inferior medical attention toward minorities. It is a very sad reality especially when one thinks of America as the "land of opportunity".

I am indeed proud to listen to David more so as a St Lucian choosing to abandon silence, taking a stand against racism and discrimination which in 2020 continues to impact so many of our brothers and sisters. Our vibrant black colour considered a threat, not climate change, Nuclear war or cyber weapons.

Amazing, and so insightful! I understood the psychological, and health effects of racism along time ago.

I have to shake my head at all the blame and excuses I see all over social media of people who don't want to read and educate themselves so they could learn better and do better instead of sitting there doing not a damn thing because they are too proud or ignorant or stubborn.

Philosophically, i say, what is 'racism' actually suppressing? ...is it not FEAR of self? Thanks so much David R. Williams for these statistical Evidence/measurement!

Don't even bother with this comment section. Take a deep breath and walk away. Do something constructive, creative. Leave your comfort zone. Expand your experiences. But don't look down this toilet, whatever you decide to do.

One of the best speeches about the black and white race dilemma so far 🙏

thank you... that was so well presented... I'm glad to have stumbled on this video...👍
