    This is mark Jackson sr. And I want to say that we are blessed to have ms. Jane Elliott born in to this world and I'm extremely thankful for who she is and her contribution to education .in my super honest opinion she is a real teacher a teacher that cares is a real teacher she talks not to you but your common sense of you.i pray in the name of the most high that we start back hiring teachers that care like Jane Elliott. I've noticed in the last 25or 30 years the schools administration has removed teachers like her and replaced them with teachers that don't care.but I now see the agenda in hiring teachers that can be told not to get to close to students no wonder that the youth is getting more out of control and out of touch with the reality as we all know it .I remember being in the Fourth grade and I learned about cause and effect .and if you know anything about cause and effects . that is enough to show you the agenda. America has a chance to be strong together as a family of human race of different skin pigmentation.racism has been weaponized against all of us and used against thier own race for control. .but anyways ms.jane Elliott doesn't know me . and as a dark reddish brown native American she is the only white person I can actually say I love.from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my soul. And if she is not Heard of like Muhammad Ali Michael Jordan Michael Jackson Mike Tyson and every president of United States that I ever took office. It's only because evil is alive and it really exists. An evil makes money off of being evil. I'll media always opposes a powerful positive message.. poverty is so bad in America you will have to go to jail just so you can get a meal.. again this is Mark Jackson Senior. I hope what I'm saying finds Miss Jane Elliott. And those who relate to what I was saying have a blessed rest of your life and thank you.

    Absolutely love this woman! Her untainted knowledge and wisdom that is ever flowing is of tremendous importance. Now if only we could revamp the lies so that the country doesn't implode because of those who continue to debase their fellow man. That won't happen though until immense bloodshed--just like the near annihilation of Indigenous People. To any extent...that is THEIR history.

    I grew up in a community that recognized differences and we all worked together to form a better society. My mother is an educator similar to Jane Elliot who grew up in San Francisco as a daughter of a Melungeon and her father was Swiss-German. My father's family was from Central America. I was the 'Blue Eyes' in my 'Brown Eyes' family who ended up being Melanemic by birth but was taught to recognize differences while working together and appreciating one another. The most jarring and difficult thing was when my family moved us out of the San Francisco Bay Area, while I was in school, and suddenly diversity was almost non-existent. The culture is different and the people are horrid towards one another. I'm still here, out of economic circumstances, and wish to return back to a place like that of what Jane Elliot wishes for - it's real. It's possible and "White People" need to stop pretending like we're God's Gift to Earth. We're all gifts of one woman from Africa and we should recognize her perseverance as a "Black" Woman trying to survive in a hostile world for all of our sakes. We're all 30th-50th cousins and Race is a fairy tale taught to create "red lines" in our culture enough is enough. It has to end like Jane Elliot says. Thank you for sharing this video with all of us.

    Jane Elliot is correct. We are all human, yet the isms do exist. My issue is that under the new anti racist movement is attacking my child (she looks like me, not her dad). The Armenian Genocide legacy yet my child told of ancestral privilege. Then she doesn’t see her father and I as equal partners but by the different races. So she understands our part of the world, religion is more important than race. Egyptians therefore consider themselves with the ME to be in the Muslim world . Just FYI on that issue & Why we were killed at the end of the Ottoman Caliphate. We always said Armenian and never picked a box, we have our own experience. Now with the privilege concept, my daughter has to look at mom as white and dad as a person of color, we just used ethnicity. Personally, on the religion issue, so many die due to it, I chose agnosticism for this reason

    @@sonjam6870 I did not discuss anything about that actually. I said agnostic religiously. Religion is why Armenians were killed, I don’t believe in fighting over religion due to great grandparents paternal side. Not sure why you bring this up, Israel like you (it seems with you) don’t acknowledge the Armenian Genocide. Unless you are confusing Armenian Genocide with Holocaust?? 1915 by ottomans versus 1930s by Nazis
