From around 5:40 to 6:10 there's a point being made that institutional racism is perpetuated by "us, all of us". That all of us are part of that "system of racism" is what I take from that. Okay, so the point seems to be somwehere along the idea that there's individual responsibility in every person for the system of racism. From around 9:15 to 9:37 there's a point being made that is expressed as follows "institutions and the way they're run and the systems that we keep talking about, they're the things that are broken, not the people". Now I'm thinking which is it? People or institutions? Not very compelling arguments, and sadly a certain ammount of points just seems to be implicitly true because they're popular in this day and age.

❤

I think what Dr Martin is trying to say here is that climate change will disproportionately effect people of colour. More people of colour live in areas vulnerable to environmental degradation as a result of climate change (you know flooding, desertification etc.). Personally in this talk I would have liked more exposition on the intersection between climate change and racism however I did find myself being well educated on how racism can pervade all aspects of life. Perhaps that's the most important understanding to have when talking about racism and climate change 🤔 yeah.

Sounds obvious because the term 'people of colour' means non-white people and that is most people.

Great work! Keep it up!

@@bostonatyia No, thank you Dr. Martin. This speech is one of few that speaks to all of us. We are interconnected and in order for us to grow as a country, we need to be in account for everyone in society. This was inspiring then as it is now in a America divided. It will take time, but the message is very clear to me.

I hope all is well Mr. Mullen. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment on this TEDx Talk. Did you watch it? It is not about guilt, but about problem solving and solutions. Please feel free to contact me on Twitter (@BostonAtyia) and I would be happy to learn which parts of this talk promotes guilt and how I exemplify/portray racism. I would also enjoy learning more about your reference on the "very people who fought for their freedom"...The generalization was unclear to me and seems to cast all white people in the same light. Do you have any videos or writings that we can review to better understand your position? I am always willing to be educated. All the Best.

Thank you for your reply. It's difficult to know where to start in a response to your questions. Therefore, I'll begin with your first assumption. First, as far as I know and I've been studying this for awhile, there is no empirical evidence to suggest that mankind has anything more than an insignificant effect, if any, on our constantly evolving global climate. Supposedly, you understand that our climate has been changing since the beginning of the earth's history, sometime quickly and drastically while at other times more slowly and possibly not as drastic (depending on time and location). In some cases it could be seen as a positive change and at others, not so much so. If you know of such a study which clarifies that the carbon dioxide produced by mankind's activities is a significant cause or controller of our ongoing climate change, please share the link for our follow-up. Once we've clarified that point, we can move on to others.

Good Day: Thank you very much for taking the time to watch my video. I do not conflate the two...it is a high-level comparative analysis between how people react to the two. Based on your statement, it seems as if you have not studied issues of racism. It is in fact a well-studied issue across many scientific disciplines (neuroscience, sociology, psychology, history, etc.). There is no debate among the experts whether or not racism exists and therefore, I will not debate with you on the matter. I wish you and yours all the best on your journey for knowledge and wisdom.
