His cadance is awesome! Makes you feel like he's talking to a respected friend, doesn't feel robotic at all.

Great speech Michael, hopefully your audience takes it to heart. Appreciate your vision...

Love the idea of helping students understand that they already have some power through the backpack metaphor. As educators, our job is to help students fill that backpack with the powers they need to succeed and rise above their circumstances.

So true Jared!

Great amazing impressive soul. Pray more n more amazing souls rise n shine. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true. Culture of power may help color religion or status.

I came here for some bad explanetion about white privilige and how we should turn it down or give more power to everyone else but us. I left with some wholesome thoughts instead. Because this man gets it.

Thank you... for the backpack power. As a woman of color, this is something I can definitely use!

Jim Foster does he make you do graded do nows, exit tickets, and make you answer all questions in SEE format?

I cant imagine the mentality of people that think treating people the same regardless of race is somehow a bad thing, and that doing the opposite will somehow lead to unity.

Privilege isn't about what you've gone through. It's about what you haven't had to go through.

The 'privilege' concept is such rhetorical nonsense. And it's meant to highlight things that other people lack, not even the things held by the people with privilege themselves. Endless explanation is needed around this term. Time to chuck it.

Endless explanation is only needed because some people refuse to accept that they are privileged. It's pretty easy to understand with an open mind.

Such a lazy blanketing of a race as all the same. A white man with schizophrenic who has lost everything and is homeless and roams the streets talking to himself does not have privilege. Try spending time and energy getting to know someone of a different color instead of smearing them.
