It was so powerful when the question was something along the lines of "Do you like how your race portrayed in the media?" Then nobody moved. It really speaks volumes to our society.
Not really. She was taking bigger steps backwards than when she does step forward. It almost feels like she was more eager to stay in the back. I mean I know that she probably has way less privilege than a lot of others in this vid but she also needs to recognize and accept her privileges. It's nothing to be ashamed of. If you focus on your lack of privilege you'll just end up feeling like a victim of life... But I'm also aware that I could be wrong and she isn't even aware that she's taking unequal steps, so yeah.. still doesn't feel like hugging strangers though. Maybe just a pat in the back and a smile.
This whole thing is stupid. Let the kids decide for themselves on politics, because that's what this is. It's a political opinion that white privilege exists, not a fact. There's evidence in both ways. So don't put it in a school. If you guys want God out of school then let's keep politics out too
@John Connor does being white count? She has a supportive family, has a car, and didn't grow up in a dangerous neighborhood. That's what I got from the vid. Sure, i don't know what she's been through or going through but my point was, we shouldn't focus on being victims even if there may be a lot of times where we really are one. Don't wallow on self pity and being a victim because then, you'll just hate the world and other people. Rise through it, be kind, help each other and recognize your privilege, know when you can help others and what you could give back to others. We're all more than the pain that the world and other people give us.
@John Connor why would you not ask them about racial equality? Some of them do care, most are ignorant. Ending racism and inequality needs effort from both sides, no?
I feel the questions of race, gender and sexuality should not be involved and only questions pertaining to wealth and economic opportunities should decide privilege. A poor straight white man does not have more privilege than a rich black lesbian woman because of the race,gender or sexual orientation but the money is the deciding privilege factor
Kyle Clare you say this, but I don't think you necessarily understand just how connected race and wealth are in this country. Before the 1870s, Black Americans couldn't own anything with any value. And even after, it wasn't until segregation and the end of Jim Crow that black Americans owned very valuable property. Just as well, young LGBT people are more likely to face homeless and employment discrimination than their straight counter parts. It may be so that a very wealthy black lesbian is more privileged than a very poor white heterosexual, however, in cases where wealth is equal, the black lesbian faces more obstacles due to systemically held prejudices.
Sounds like bullshit lady. If your poor your poor. If your rich your rich. No one in this day in age is being oppressed because of race or sexual orientation. Everyone has equal opportunity to get to the top
Yeah, it definitely doesn't have to do with this, being a female or gay or black doesn't have to do with this... Maybe back in 1870, but today is different.. So quit with the petty bullshit
Tbunbunkou white privilege does exist and if u can’t see that mate ur blind it shouldn’t happen and it’s wrong but it does and u have to accept the fact that white males are the most privileged people out of everyone
@@lillyk721 probably cuase in 3rd world countries they don't have a constitution that gives everyone inalienable rights. Like in Afghanistan if you were lgbtq plus whatever and you go to Afghanistan trying to convert people you're most likely going to get your head chopped off by an Afghanistan person but if you do the United States people just turn the other way and mind there own Business.
This exercise does nothing but teach kids to resent each other based on things they can't change. Trust me, I've seen the effects at a college level; these kids will grow up to believe that they are victims, that nothing is their fault, and will thus do nothing productive to change their stature in society.
Emily Anne Williams Actually it I don't resent anyone for being privilege. I'm just glad people that deny it it exists are are now able to see in a simple format it does and can hopefully accept that reality instead of pretending things are all the same for everyone. Look up Black Wallstreet. Yes these tragedies still effect the black community. Being allowed to grow unencumbered has a completely different outcome then being nocked down. My parents saved for a home in the best neighborhood so I could go to a better school district. When it was known they were black they were stopped from moving into the all white neighborhood. No this wasn't in the 50s or 60s I'm 30. Wonder how different my life would have been had I have been raised with better education. Wonder how owning a home in a great neighborhood would have effected my parents financially. Privilege means freedom to grow with out some one stopping you because something outside of your ability
What you are missing Emily (who is white) is that this is supposed to open the eyes of those at the front. Because they are there they have more of a chance to succeed and be in positions in the future to change things in society and make our society more of a meritocracy & not one of "born into priveledge.
The best way to inspire a group of people to rise up above the odds is to tell them from a young age that they are under privileged. That they are at an inherent disadvantage because of something they can't change the color of their skin or their gender. That everyone else has it easier if they are born with the correct skin color. What an inspirational message... (sarcasm aside) Then you look at the facts of life and realize Asians are killing it compared to whites despite not being as privileged... oh shit the argument that privilege affects successful life outcomes just falls apart. But seriously stop telling minorities they are limited by their privilege. Your privilege won't limit you unless you are brainwashed into believing it will.
Emily Anne Williams it actually makes me want to work harder so that my kids will have more privilege. I have been made fun of due to my financial place in society. I don't want my kids to have to go through that.
For the male/female, black/white dichotomies, I have to say that privilege cannot simply be determined through gender and race. Teachers need to be especially sensitive about the message they are trying to convey to their students, especially under such an exercise that is supposed to reveal more of reality to the students but, instead, warps it with presumptive association of privilege with certain races and genders.

I wonder what you would've been if your parents hadn't raised you with a victim mentality and what you could've accomplished if you didn't have the assumption of I can't do it cause I'm less "privileged" and just accepted defeat cause you have less advantages
I agree. I'm considered white and I know two friends off the top of my mind that have had way more privilages than myself. They're are considered black. The one girl is so dark she pokes fun at herself to the point where all I and a few others in the room can do is shake our heads an and say things like "I can't belieave you just said that." or "That's Akira for you." so I don't belieave race or gender should play a role because the numbers are way too varient on those catagories as to who has it better or not. That's from my own expiriences.
Chay Robert As a Hispanic woman (though I took the step for being white because I look white) I ended up seven steps behind the line. I think they weren’t taking consistent step sizes
Most people in the comments are complaining about how this teaches kids to resent each other and themselves. Yes, that is correct, and it is awful. However, what I'm concerned about is that they were forced to reveal personal information, such as if they were ever sexually harassed or abused, or their sexual orientation. That is information that should not be forced to be told, and being outed or exposing a trauma the child has been through might make the child embarrassed or ashamed. If she wants to teach children to hate each other based on things out of their control, fine. But keep the personal lives and secrets of the children out of it.
Not to mention if they don't validated it because you know it doesn't go with . That's for both the forward and backward questions (seriously some kids have been told no and to go in the other direction)
If you are taught to see the differences between you and others instead of the similarities, are you more or less likely to end up being a xenophobic separatist towards others? Why are we teaching kids to judge others based on demographics instead of individual characteristics and qualities ?
Isaac Chay because The school system is not about teaching any more it is about fueling hate. So those who are in charge are over looked will they rule over everything. AKA. Teach the poor to hate middle class. The women to hate man. And every one to hate a straight white men.

Question just because I don’t understand, not trying to be rude and I know you probably don’t even remember this comment: why is it racist? Isn’t it just saying “if you are this take one step forward cause you have privilege” or do I not understand something here?
@@ceiling_pancake as you state yourself, this was 2 years ago. But at the time I thought it was a bit racist, and it’s probably because I’m from Scandinavia where it’s not really a privilege to be any skin color, we’re more equal. So that’s probably why, and no I can’t remember commenting this
Don’t like some of these questions. Asking whether or not your straight and the whatnot - something I’d prefer not to reveal to people I don’t know well.
Almost every thing mentioned, parents staying together through hard times, parents working to educate their children, and so on, are the results of parents working hard and sacrificing for their children. So in the final analysis privilege is due to better parenting. I thought of this while I watched a mother and her young daughter dance on the hood of a police car during the recent St. Louis riots. I'm damn proud of my privilege and hope to also privilege my children. REPLY
@Haseeb 2 Rest assured I have seen my share of heartaches and hardships. That is the human condition. But what you call privilege does not come from wealth or status. It comes from work and values. I feel sorry for you.
@Haseeb 2 well Hassash you sure see yourself as a victim. Do you work or are you living off the taxpayers? Do you shoplift? Relax and enjoy the free ride.
@Haseeb 2 I am glad that you have a job. I apologize for thinking that you did not. I am sure you are a very good person. But what makes you so angry and feeling like a victim in the greatest country on earth? Is the past that important to you? .
The only problem i had is when they were asked, if you're white take one step forward, and if you're black one step backward. The point of this exercise is to see the privelege people have in general. It's not about race perse. (Ofc i know that this will still have a high inpact on some of the questions)
thealienboy11 this video didn't teach anyone to be prejudice to white people it taught people that there are privileged people in this country and the majority of them is white and only some know why this video teaches us everyone isn't as privilege as the next because of race,sex,money,sexual orientation and mental issues
By definition every single one of them is privileged as they live in the self proclaimed greatest country in the history of the world. To undo their privilege and feelings of guilt they should permanently swap lives with the poorest people across the world! Job done!
this is a raciest sexiest and homophobic test and i know that because i am gay but i do not see it as a disadvantage and i never feel the need to change but that makes me privileged
I can't look at someone and tell if they sleep with men or women. But I can't look at someone's home that they are women or that they are black... so it makes sense your haven't experience discrimination
Gay men earn on average 10% more than white men. Lesbian women earn 9% on average more than white women. The question should have been. "If you are gay or lesbian take a step forward".
This is so stupid, that I did not want to comment and become part of this non sense, but I feel like I need to, First of, there are some questions that dont make sense at all. Everybody has sometimes an unsafe feeling walking alone at night. I mean, just guess some of these white guys hear something, when they are all alone at home. They might be scared too ;) But seriously, you can see that it was predetermined that white guys where up front. Females, blacks and others had to step back, while caucasians had to step forward. so Basically doubling the "advantage" of the white folks. Everybody in modern countries has nearly the same opportunities. There will always be somebody with nicer clothes, more money and therefore having an easier life. Thats Life. Get over it and make the best out of YOUR life, instead of wasting your time on earth being negative, because you may experience something unfair down the line. Change it to one of your strengths and get beyond the point where it holds you down. I tell you one thing. IT WILL HURT, IT WILL TAKE WORK, BUT IT IS WORTH IT. Where do I know from? Well yeah, I am a caucasian straight male with an intact, supportive familiy. But I am also born physically disadvantaged outside the USA, grew up outside the USA, was called names because of my physical disability, basically worked since I was 15/16 after school, lived until 13 in a social weak area, with drugs, alcoholism and crime right before my door. We were never rich. I wore clothes my brother has worn before me, that were even worn by some other kid before him. I had to see how everybody had Nike sneakers, while I had the cheap kick off version of it. I rarly saw my dad, because he had to work late/night shifts to make money for the family. I am 25 years old now. Live in an own appartment with my girlfriend and partwise had to rely on welfare. There are days, where I choose to eat a simple meal like noodles with ketchup, so that I make it through the week. Yeah I could call my parents and ask for a few bucks. But during all my life i learned, that whatever does bother you, but not kill you, it will make you stronger and also that things mean more, if you achieve them by yourself. I made my way and graduated with the highest high school degree in germany possible, started job training (takes 3 years) and finished as one of the best. Then attended college, from which I will graduate during next spring as a Bachelor of mechanical engineering as one of the first of the people that started the class at the same time. During college I worked part time and even started another class to become a welding engineer. Next year i will take on the next class of it and finish it while working full time. And none of my parents or brothers has ever attended college. They nearly all took the graduation after 9th grade, started job training and worked ever since then. So I experienced a lot of situations, where other people were privileged, but I would never put it to them as something negative. I am glad, that they have their priviliges. Because I have also some in other situations. And I tell you something: YOU WILL NEVER BE GREAT, IF LIFE HAS NOT CHALLENGED YOU. I have seen a lot of people during my life. And often the more priviliged people fuck things up, dont have life experience, because they lived in a safe shell. People with more struggles in their life a way better in taking shit and getting to work. This does not apply on everybody from either side. So fucking stop blaming others for your misery and start taking responsebility for yourself, and stop fucking whining. Because as soon as you start complaining about other peoples priviliges, you are being a rude whimp and limiting yourself.
Lmao you brought up your struggle. Ik this is a year old... but it’s not supposed to be off of race. It’s just showing you some people have it harder than others. White. Black. Yellow. Red. It’s not about the color. Your life sounds like it sucks. Do better man.
So if your point is that the kids did nothing to change their privilege status, and that they had no control of this, then why do we shame the privilege of they couldn’t help it.
I don't see how this exercise is useful other than to make some kids feel guilty and others feel like victims. Not every "step forward" is a positive and not every "step back" is a negative. For instance, your parents might still be married but be horrible parents or be in an unloving relationship. You might be relieved to see your parents get a divorce. You might find some great friends by being part of the LGBT community. You might be at an advantage having grown up with a second language at home. At the end of the day, all of these kids are more privileged than 95% of the world's population.
I will say for me, living in Miami, and not speaking Spanish very well it's hurt me, and I can see that kids that don't speak English proficiently or have a heavy accent and living in the deep South or the mid-West it could be a disadvantage
If they all do well in high school and graduate, they all have equal opportunity. How you’re raised only holds someone back if they decide not to change it. It’s laziness in the back.
"If you are white step forward, if you are black step back, if you are female step back. Step back if you are LGBT. Step back if you were born in another country. Notice how everyone in the front is a native born straight Caucasian male? What a weird coincidence! Now what did you learn from the privilege walk?" I learned that when anyone separates people by race, gender, sexual orientation, and where they were born that people will be divided. Is she implying that black gay women born in other countries are any less smart or capable as others? All of those traits are not inherent disadvantages until people like this teacher separate people out in that way. If she didn't specifically separate people by their race, gender, or sexual orientation how would that line up look? Look at the demographics of high paying professions or the college majors leading to those professions like doctors, engineers, and programmers vs the demographics of the country. There are 2.2 million less men in college than women and minorities dominate the highest paying professions. It is minorities like Asians, Indians, and Jews who are disproportionately getting ahead of white Christians. It is because of the values that exist within their families passed down from their cultures, as well as the handouts and active encouragement that society gives specifically to women and minorities that create those stats. Not because whitey is hating on them and holding them down! Anyone with a supportive family and good friend group can get ahead in America, plain and simple. Take it from a minority with divorced parents, abusive step dad with a chronic disease that brought my family near poverty levels from medical costs. Oh and I have a chronic disease myself. But you think I'm privileged because my skin is white and I have a penis. Go F yourself. I studied hard to get a full merit scholarship, worked since age 14 because I had to earn what I wanted and I'm damn sure not going to apologize for balling out in my cushy job now because of my gender and the color of my skin. Kids out there - ignore your English and social studies teachers and pay attention in math and science class. Go into STEM and spend less than you earn and no matter what your background you will ball out like me one day. Peace and love.
Some questions may not fully represent privilege, but I'm so glad they added questions regarding sex, race, sexual orientation, disabilities and religion. Those factors shape your life as much as your economy.
I dont feel that they have adressed the problems that white people face at all the more hours that we work the exception that we are to be able to provide without government assistance the fact that we have the highest suicide rate due to all these the stress that forces us mentally past what most have to experience in order to make the expectations society places on us
White privilege and male privilege is bs. Just because you are a white man, that does not mean gay you have a better chance of living a better life. YOU and your ACTIONS determine your life. If you WORK HARD, you will succeed. That class itself is a prime example. Even though they come from different walks of life, they all made it to a top level class. Being white, being a male, coming from a family where both parents are still together, or money (though money can help) does not determine your outcome in life. Thinking this way is playing a victim card and should not be tolerated.
Oh great this is spreading? How about if you read 2 or 3 books a month, step forward? Your parents stayed together, step forward. You said no to drugs, step forward. Sat on the couch to play video games in the weekend, step back. Lots of variables in life. Look, nobody is saying that everyone gets to start life equally or finish equally. That's impossible and unnatural. The thing is, what your parents did, they matter to where you are now. So what you do now, it's going to matter to where your kids will start in the future. You have nothing to apologize for if your kid happens to be ahead of some, NOTHING! What we want as a society is for everyone to have the same opportunities available to everyone. Save for obvious physical limitations of course. There's glitches of course but in general, everyone has access to the same opportunities. Yes, some will have to work extra hard than others, hence the difference in starting positions if this line up were to be a race. But at the end of the day, no matter where a person starts, it is their choice whether to run as a hare or a tortoise or anything in between. It doesn't do anybody any good to feel like a victim. Run YOUR race!
Wait how do you not ask if one of their parents is an addict, chronic illness or mental health issues? My children yes had privilege but their father slowly dying watching their mother fall apart with mental illness and addiction GAVE them many steps back…the money food education roof over their head. Gave them ZERO help
The comments here are ridiculous. It doesn't focus more on gender and race, in fact a lot of the questions were about parents. I'm white and female and I would have been One step further back than all of these (I counted). Also it doesn't promote people thinking their victims. You can know you're not as privileged as others and not think the world is against you. It just means you try a bit more or things will be a little harder at times
Step forward if u want the kid next to u to hate u. Step back if ur a victim of circumstance beyond ur control. Now Get to stepping bc u r out of ur mind if u think teaching this to kids is a good idea. Wtf!😳
If they did this in three world countries most kids would be only 2-3 steps into the game for the most part. Regardless of race and gender. Like I don't get those requirements lmao
Cevin With a C Hey you talking about me? The one in the black shirt? 😂 I forgot we did this video. Looking back, it’s ridiculous. At least Mrs Staten isn’t with McMichael anymore.
The problem is the purpose of this excercise was to show how different demographics are affected but the way this was conducted made the result itself part of the questions. For example, the original video pointed out that a lot of the people in the back were minority, but this video makes their demographic part of where they end up.
Can’t believe this has over 94k views now. I’m the guy in the front, black shirt. The teacher was Mrs Staten. We were class of 2015, McMichael High, AP English IV. Looking back, I can’t believe our school was okay with this. Telling the whites to step forward, blacks to step back is not an example of privilege. Telling females to step back and males to step forward, I mean come on. I knew I was going to be at the front of the line. I’m paying for my own college, and my own bills. I’m working 30-40 hour weeks, and I couldn’t be happier. How am I more privileged? I know for a fact some of those students got scholarships based on their skin color and sex. How is that not a privilege? I got an academic scholarship, a small one at that. That’s not a privilege, that’s hard work paying off. Many will be pleased to know the teacher is no longer employed there either. She left the following semester, not too sure why.
I think this exercise actually causes separation in people. they had no problem with each other before you started asking the questions. I get the point but... your just driving the mark... there could be other questions asked that would lead to a different result!
"If your parents own their house" how does that make someone a victim if their parents dont own a house? Their parents worked hard and bought a house... Very simple
Is it really necessary to talk about race and sex? It just makes people feel uncomfortable. Also, why do black have to step back and whites have to step forward?😡
Why is there an obsession to pigeonhole everyone. We ALL start in different places. It's about the CHOICES you make. YOUR life is in YOUR hands, NOBODY ELSE. Your ATTITUDE will govern your ALTITUDE. YOU are not responsible for anyone else. If you can help someone along the way, or that is indeed your calling that's great. We need ALL different skills and you just need to work on YOUR skills and abilities.
tf they doing this in a senior ap class this shit stupid. All this does is support racism and judgement based on what they have by showing the differences
2:57 Only good question in there And I agree Also side note all of these kids could have been in the honors society if they tried hard enough And she is a horrible F ing teacher to say that not everyone is equal
Everyone is not equal. It's more important to teach children unity, strength, determination, compassion empathy, and independence but definitely not equity bc it's not being truthful.
these exercises do nothing but show these kids that they are victims, instead maybe show them how to take resposibility for their own lives. teach them to work hard for their goals and that obstacles can be overcome. i would be mad as hell if this were my kid and a teacher was trying to make them feel bad about things they have no control over
xXAyizanXx I’m realllly late but the point is to show that a lot of people don’t have the same priveleges as others do because of their race, gender, or sexual orientation
It was so powerful when the question was something along the lines of "Do you like how your race portrayed in the media?" Then nobody moved. It really speaks volumes to our society.

Emily Anne Williams Actually it I don't resent anyone for being privilege. I'm just glad people that deny it it exists are are now able to see in a simple format it does and can hopefully accept that reality instead of pretending things are all the same for everyone. Look up Black Wallstreet. Yes these tragedies still effect the black community. Being allowed to grow unencumbered has a completely different outcome then being nocked down.

No this wasn't in the 50s or 60s I'm 30. Wonder how different my life would have been had I have been raised with better education. Wonder how owning a home in a great neighborhood would have effected my parents financially. Privilege means freedom to grow with out some one stopping you because something outside of your ability
What you are missing Emily (who is white) is that this is supposed to open the eyes of those at the front. Because they are there they have more of a chance to succeed and be in positions in the future to change things in society and make our society more of a meritocracy & not one of "born into priveledge.
The best way to inspire a group of people to rise up above the odds is to tell them from a young age that they are under privileged. That they are at an inherent disadvantage because of something they can't change the color of their skin or their gender. That everyone else has it easier if they are born with the correct skin color. What an inspirational message...
(sarcasm aside)
Then you look at the facts of life and realize Asians are killing it compared to whites despite not being as privileged... oh shit the argument that privilege affects successful life outcomes just falls apart.
But seriously stop telling minorities they are limited by their privilege. Your privilege won't limit you unless you are brainwashed into believing it will.
Emily Anne Williams it actually makes me want to work harder so that my kids will have more privilege. I have been made fun of due to my financial place in society. I don't want my kids to have to go through that.
Kevin Clements but that only makes them feel shame
For the male/female, black/white dichotomies, I have to say that privilege cannot simply be determined through gender and race. Teachers need to be especially sensitive about the message they are trying to convey to their students, especially under such an exercise that is supposed to reveal more of reality to the students but, instead, warps it with presumptive association of privilege with certain races and genders.

I wonder what you would've been if your parents hadn't raised you with a victim mentality and what you could've accomplished if you didn't have the assumption of I can't do it cause I'm less "privileged" and just accepted defeat cause you have less advantages
I agree. I'm considered white and I know two friends off the top of my mind that have had way more privilages than myself. They're are considered black. The one girl is so dark she pokes fun at herself to the point where all I and a few others in the room can do is shake our heads an and say things like "I can't belieave you just said that." or "That's Akira for you." so I don't belieave race or gender should play a role because the numbers are way too varient on those catagories as to who has it better or not. That's from my own expiriences.
THANK YOU! This is all about identity politics and nothing about a wide variety of privilege.
Your wrong. People who are females or black are always at disadvantages. I know hat for a fact
This does nothing but make people feel guilty and others feel oppressed. These walks are just separating people more than ever. 🤦♀️
or it reminds you that we are not all equal

I'm a white male but when I answered the questions, I ended up 2 steps behind the starting point. That's farther behind then anyone. 0-0
Chay Robert no you're not allowed to do that because this whole test was a fuck you to white people.
there are always outliers in every test, but the majority of the time the 1st 5 people who take this test will be whites, and usually males too
Chay Robert As a Hispanic woman (though I took the step for being white because I look white) I ended up seven steps behind the line. I think they weren’t taking consistent step sizes
Being white isn't a privilege being male isn't a privilege
Damn white males have it really hard 😩👊
Anyone else really want to talk to and hug the girl with the jeans and grey jumper closest to the camera?

No. Talk to, yes. Hug, not sure why. What are you getting at?
no, she a fat bitch
Most people in the comments are complaining about how this teaches kids to resent each other and themselves. Yes, that is correct, and it is awful. However, what I'm concerned about is that they were forced to reveal personal information, such as if they were ever sexually harassed or abused, or their sexual orientation. That is information that should not be forced to be told, and being outed or exposing a trauma the child has been through might make the child embarrassed or ashamed. If she wants to teach children to hate each other based on things out of their control, fine. But keep the personal lives and secrets of the children out of it.
Not to mention if they don't validated it because you know it doesn't go with . That's for both the forward and backward questions (seriously some kids have been told no and to go in the other direction)

Wow this whole time I always thought we all lived the same life but apparently there are people who have it better and worse then me.
If you are taught to see the differences between you and others instead of the similarities, are you more or less likely to end up being a xenophobic separatist towards others?
Why are we teaching kids to judge others based on demographics instead of individual characteristics and qualities ?
Isaac Chay because The school system is not about teaching any more it is about fueling hate. So those who are in charge are over looked will they rule over everything. AKA. Teach the poor to hate middle class. The women to hate man. And every one to hate a straight white men.
Its acknowledging that their is a difference.
And it needs to change.

when they said a victim of violence and sexual assault most girls stepped back i was starting to tear up
“If you are caucasian take one step forward” that Got me like “wait hold up, aint that racist”
Absolutely, it is racist. And with that single question, she destroyed the whole exercice.
Question just because I don’t understand, not trying to be rude and I know you probably don’t even remember this comment: why is it racist? Isn’t it just saying “if you are this take one step forward cause you have privilege” or do I not understand something here?
@@ceiling_pancake as you state yourself, this was 2 years ago. But at the time I thought it was a bit racist, and it’s probably because I’m from Scandinavia where it’s not really a privilege to be any skin color, we’re more equal. So that’s probably why, and no I can’t remember commenting this
@@coastmalone okay, thanks for clearing it up
@bidossessi I'm half black , and I disagree with you here, brother. Blacks are highly disadvantaged
This schoolmaster overreacted their authority. This is a violation of these kids privacy.
This was a poorly carried out test step/stride length wasnt acounted for so some of the guys took the equivilant of x3 of some of the shorter girls'.
Don’t like some of these questions. Asking whether or not your straight and the whatnot - something I’d prefer not to reveal to people I don’t know well.
Almost every thing mentioned, parents staying together through hard times, parents working to educate their children, and so on, are the results of parents working hard and sacrificing for their children. So in the final analysis privilege is due to better parenting. I thought of this while I watched a mother and her young daughter dance on the hood of a police car during the recent St. Louis riots. I'm damn proud of my privilege and hope to also privilege my children.
REPLY
@Haseeb 2 Point?
@Haseeb 2 Rest assured I have seen my share of heartaches and hardships. That is the human condition. But
what you call privilege does not come from wealth or status. It comes from work and values. I feel sorry for you.
@Haseeb 2 well Hassash you sure see yourself as a victim. Do you work or are you living off the taxpayers? Do you shoplift? Relax and enjoy the free ride.
@Haseeb 2 So you do feed at the government trough. Enjoy the free stuff.
@Haseeb 2 I am glad that you have a job. I apologize for thinking that you did not. I am sure you are a very good person. But what makes you so angry and feeling like a victim in the greatest country on earth? Is the past that important to you? .
The only problem i had is when they were asked, if you're white take one step forward, and if you're black one step backward. The point of this exercise is to see the privelege people have in general. It's not about race perse. (Ofc i know that this will still have a high inpact on some of the questions)
I would have been soo far back id hit the sidewalk
"What did we learn from this?" To be prejudice against white people.
thealienboy11 this video didn't teach anyone to be prejudice to white people it taught people that there are privileged people in this country and the majority of them is white and only some know why this video teaches us everyone isn't as privilege as the next because of race,sex,money,sexual orientation and mental issues
But it's really true :/
By definition every single one of them is privileged as they live in the self proclaimed greatest country in the history of the world. To undo their privilege and feelings of guilt they should permanently swap lives with the poorest people across the world! Job done!
"If you are caucasian take one step forward."
Yep, because that totally makes sense.
Birdy lol
Lol kinda does bud
Birdy lol it does
Imagine admonishing children for having responsible parents. These sick duds should not be allowed near children.
Some of the questions are downright absurd. Whether or not I studied the culture of my ancestors is not a privilege.
"If you are Caucasian take one step forward. If you're black take one step back" that's literally racism while trying to prove racism
If this video is an absurd oversimplification, please take one step forward.
If you are a female take one step back? Like what the heck?
this is a raciest sexiest and homophobic test and i know that because i am gay but i do not see it as a disadvantage and i never feel the need to change but that makes me privileged
justin pearson being gay is a disadvantage...you might have not experienced it yet but it is
I can't look at someone and tell if they sleep with men or women. But I can't look at someone's home that they are women or that they are black... so it makes sense your haven't experience discrimination
They're doing this based on what society thinks. It's sad but it's true.
Gay men earn on average 10% more than white men. Lesbian women earn 9% on average more than white women. The question should have been. "If you are gay or lesbian take a step forward".
I don't believe anything from this video would make you think they were afraid of gays, So tell me again, how are they Homohobic?
This is so stupid, that I did not want to comment and become part of this non sense, but I feel like I need to,
First of, there are some questions that dont make sense at all. Everybody has sometimes an unsafe feeling walking alone at night. I mean, just guess some of these white guys hear something, when they are all alone at home. They might be scared too ;)
But seriously, you can see that it was predetermined that white guys where up front. Females, blacks and others had to step back, while caucasians had to step forward. so Basically doubling the "advantage" of the white folks.
Everybody in modern countries has nearly the same opportunities. There will always be somebody with nicer clothes, more money and therefore having an easier life. Thats Life. Get over it and make the best out of YOUR life, instead of wasting your time on earth being negative, because you may experience something unfair down the line. Change it to one of your strengths and get beyond the point where it holds you down. I tell you one thing. IT WILL HURT, IT WILL TAKE WORK, BUT IT IS WORTH IT.
Where do I know from? Well yeah, I am a caucasian straight male with an intact, supportive familiy. But I am also born physically disadvantaged outside the USA, grew up outside the USA, was called names because of my physical disability, basically worked since I was 15/16 after school, lived until 13 in a social weak area, with drugs, alcoholism and crime right before my door. We were never rich. I wore clothes my brother has worn before me, that were even worn by some other kid before him. I had to see how everybody had Nike sneakers, while I had the cheap kick off version of it. I rarly saw my dad, because he had to work late/night shifts to make money for the family.
I am 25 years old now. Live in an own appartment with my girlfriend and partwise had to rely on welfare. There are days, where I choose to eat a simple meal like noodles with ketchup, so that I make it through the week. Yeah I could call my parents and ask for a few bucks. But during all my life i learned, that whatever does bother you, but not kill you, it will make you stronger and also that things mean more, if you achieve them by yourself. I made my way and graduated with the highest high school degree in germany possible, started job training (takes 3 years) and finished as one of the best. Then attended college, from which I will graduate during next spring as a Bachelor of mechanical engineering as one of the first of the people that started the class at the same time. During college I worked part time and even started another class to become a welding engineer. Next year i will take on the next class of it and finish it while working full time. And none of my parents or brothers has ever attended college. They nearly all took the graduation after 9th grade, started job training and worked ever since then.
So I experienced a lot of situations, where other people were privileged, but I would never put it to them as something negative. I am glad, that they have their priviliges. Because I have also some in other situations. And I tell you something:
YOU WILL NEVER BE GREAT, IF LIFE HAS NOT CHALLENGED YOU. I have seen a lot of people during my life. And often the more priviliged people fuck things up, dont have life experience, because they lived in a safe shell. People with more struggles in their life a way better in taking shit and getting to work. This does not apply on everybody from either side. So fucking stop blaming others for your misery and start taking responsebility for yourself, and stop fucking whining.
Because as soon as you start complaining about other peoples priviliges, you are being a rude whimp and limiting yourself.
That's too long to read 😂
Lmao you brought up your struggle. Ik this is a year old... but it’s not supposed to be off of race. It’s just showing you some people have it harder than others. White. Black. Yellow. Red. It’s not about the color. Your life sounds like it sucks. Do better man.
@@rocketnut7148 "Do better man" At least read the whole thing before patronising him
So if your point is that the kids did nothing to change their privilege status, and that they had no control of this, then why do we shame the privilege of they couldn’t help it.
I don't see how this exercise is useful other than to make some kids feel guilty and others feel like victims. Not every "step forward" is a positive and not every "step back" is a negative. For instance, your parents might still be married but be horrible parents or be in an unloving relationship. You might be relieved to see your parents get a divorce. You might find some great friends by being part of the LGBT community. You might be at an advantage having grown up with a second language at home. At the end of the day, all of these kids are more privileged than 95% of the world's population.
Teacher: why do you they have more than you. My dumbass: in the back “cuh I’m broke”
all this is gonna do is teach kids to say ‘well stop complaining, you’re 6 steps forward than me on the privilege line!’
"If you are female, take one step back"??? Nah man.
If you are Caucasian you take one step forward? So just the color of your skin is a privilege? Absolutely ridiculous.
Why the hell are they teaching communism (research the roots of "social justice") in an English class?
This has to do with English how?
I will say for me, living in Miami, and not speaking Spanish very well it's hurt me, and I can see that kids that don't speak English proficiently or have a heavy accent and living in the deep South or the mid-West it could be a disadvantage
If they all do well in high school and graduate, they all have equal opportunity. How you’re raised only holds someone back if they decide not to change it. It’s laziness in the back.
“If you are Caucasian take one step forward”
“If you are black take one step back”
Ok what the actual fuck. Is this suppose to teach us something?
"If you are white step forward, if you are black step back, if you are female step back. Step back if you are LGBT. Step back if you were born in another country. Notice how everyone in the front is a native born straight Caucasian male? What a weird coincidence! Now what did you learn from the privilege walk?" I learned that when anyone separates people by race, gender, sexual orientation, and where they were born that people will be divided. Is she implying that black gay women born in other countries are any less smart or capable as others? All of those traits are not inherent disadvantages until people like this teacher separate people out in that way. If she didn't specifically separate people by their race, gender, or sexual orientation how would that line up look? Look at the demographics of high paying professions or the college majors leading to those professions like doctors, engineers, and programmers vs the demographics of the country. There are 2.2 million less men in college than women and minorities dominate the highest paying professions. It is minorities like Asians, Indians, and Jews who are disproportionately getting ahead of white Christians. It is because of the values that exist within their families passed down from their cultures, as well as the handouts and active encouragement that society gives specifically to women and minorities that create those stats. Not because whitey is hating on them and holding them down! Anyone with a supportive family and good friend group can get ahead in America, plain and simple. Take it from a minority with divorced parents, abusive step dad with a chronic disease that brought my family near poverty levels from medical costs. Oh and I have a chronic disease myself. But you think I'm privileged because my skin is white and I have a penis. Go F yourself. I studied hard to get a full merit scholarship, worked since age 14 because I had to earn what I wanted and I'm damn sure not going to apologize for balling out in my cushy job now because of my gender and the color of my skin. Kids out there - ignore your English and social studies teachers and pay attention in math and science class. Go into STEM and spend less than you earn and no matter what your background you will ball out like me one day. Peace and love.
The Honors Society one makes no sense. That's based on ability.
The Teacher is my Mother, Mrs. Staten♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Some questions may not fully represent privilege, but I'm so glad they added questions regarding sex, race, sexual orientation, disabilities and religion. Those factors shape your life as much as your economy.
I dont feel that they have adressed the problems that white people face at all the more hours that we work the exception that we are to be able to provide without government assistance the fact that we have the highest suicide rate due to all these the stress that forces us mentally past what most have to experience in order to make the expectations society places on us
White privilege and male privilege is bs. Just because you are a white man, that does not mean gay you have a better chance of living a better life. YOU and your ACTIONS determine your life. If you WORK HARD, you will succeed. That class itself is a prime example. Even though they come from different walks of life, they all made it to a top level class. Being white, being a male, coming from a family where both parents are still together, or money (though money can help) does not determine your outcome in life. Thinking this way is playing a victim card and should not be tolerated.
Ok when she says if your Caucasian take one step forward. If your black take one step back. Pissed me off
KidFrenzyy it’s to make them realise that white privilege exists in america
Oh great this is spreading? How about if you read 2 or 3 books a month, step forward? Your parents stayed together, step forward. You said no to drugs, step forward. Sat on the couch to play video games in the weekend, step back. Lots of variables in life. Look, nobody is saying that everyone gets to start life equally or finish equally. That's impossible and unnatural. The thing is, what your parents did, they matter to where you are now. So what you do now, it's going to matter to where your kids will start in the future. You have nothing to apologize for if your kid happens to be ahead of some, NOTHING!
What we want as a society is for everyone to have the same opportunities available to everyone. Save for obvious physical limitations of course. There's glitches of course but in general, everyone has access to the same opportunities. Yes, some will have to work extra hard than others, hence the difference in starting positions if this line up were to be a race. But at the end of the day, no matter where a person starts, it is their choice whether to run as a hare or a tortoise or anything in between. It doesn't do anybody any good to feel like a victim. Run YOUR race!
Wait how do you not ask if one of their parents is an addict, chronic illness or mental health issues? My children yes had privilege but their father slowly dying watching their mother fall apart with mental illness and addiction GAVE them many steps back…the money food education roof over their head. Gave them ZERO help
I am a black Female and I ended up off the road.
Half of these questions have nothing to do with actual privilegaes.:(
The comments here are ridiculous. It doesn't focus more on gender and race, in fact a lot of the questions were about parents. I'm white and female and I would have been One step further back than all of these (I counted). Also it doesn't promote people thinking their victims. You can know you're not as privileged as others and not think the world is against you. It just means you try a bit more or things will be a little harder at times
Step forward if u want the kid next to u to hate u. Step back if ur a victim of circumstance beyond ur control. Now Get to stepping bc u r out of ur mind if u think teaching this to kids is a good idea. Wtf!😳
If they did this in three world countries most kids would be only 2-3 steps into the game for the most part. Regardless of race and gender. Like I don't get those requirements lmao
Shame on this school system.
Unfortunately this just teaches the victim mentality. Plus what are the privileged people doing to fix it beyond just calling for things to be fixed.
She said if you are black take a step back but 2 white kids took a step back
Notice how the girl in the way back base tiny steps and the dude in the front has huge strides
Cevin With a C Hey you talking about me? The one in the black shirt? 😂 I forgot we did this video. Looking back, it’s ridiculous. At least Mrs Staten isn’t with McMichael anymore.
Im a white male and i would be the furthest back.
You shouldn't because the survey was biased against while males.
Right....
knowing how far back I'd be in the group makes me so upset
The problem is the purpose of this excercise was to show how different demographics are affected but the way this was conducted made the result itself part of the questions. For example, the original video pointed out that a lot of the people in the back were minority, but this video makes their demographic part of where they end up.
Again, this proves economic status has more to do with it, it provides greater opportunity.
I did the people who were white get move up but the black people had to step backwards? Race does not affect privilege in all situations
Can’t believe this has over 94k views now. I’m the guy in the front, black shirt. The teacher was Mrs Staten. We were class of 2015, McMichael High, AP English IV. Looking back, I can’t believe our school was okay with this. Telling the whites to step forward, blacks to step back is not an example of privilege. Telling females to step back and males to step forward, I mean come on. I knew I was going to be at the front of the line. I’m paying for my own college, and my own bills. I’m working 30-40 hour weeks, and I couldn’t be happier. How am I more privileged? I know for a fact some of those students got scholarships based on their skin color and sex. How is that not a privilege? I got an academic scholarship, a small one at that. That’s not a privilege, that’s hard work paying off. Many will be pleased to know the teacher is no longer employed there either. She left the following semester, not too sure why.
I think this exercise actually causes separation in people. they had no problem with each other before you started asking the questions. I get the point but... your just driving the mark... there could be other questions asked that would lead to a different result!
They told you that personally?
If you are Caucasian, take one step forward? How does this have more likes than dislikes!
People definitely take bigger steps backwards than forwards. It’s like they are intentionally trying to win the victimhood contest.
me, four steps behind the starting line: 👁👄👁
"If your parents own their house" how does that make someone a victim if their parents dont own a house? Their parents worked hard and bought a house... Very simple
Who else was just watching the dude with the black sweater most of the time
Bro I’m sad Bc I would be 3 to 4 steps behind the last person in the back
She might as well read the lyrics to cha cha slide on this one...
Is it really necessary to talk about race and sex? It just makes people feel uncomfortable. Also, why do black have to step back and whites have to step forward?😡
Wait so now there's married parents privilege? Are you fucking kidding me? Where does this shit end
Why is there an obsession to pigeonhole everyone. We ALL start in different places. It's about the CHOICES you make.
YOUR life is in YOUR hands, NOBODY ELSE.
Your ATTITUDE will govern your ALTITUDE.
YOU are not responsible for anyone else. If you can help someone along the way, or that is indeed your calling that's great.
We need ALL different skills and you just need to work on YOUR skills and abilities.
All pretty good then she hit us with the "If you are Caucasian take one step forward." Bitch come on here... You were doing so well.
5:02 I see a racist teacher standing in the very front. 😮 ohhh snap!!
tf they doing this in a senior ap class this shit stupid. All this does is support racism and judgement based on what they have by showing the differences
2:57
Only good question in there
And I agree
Also side note all of these kids could have been in the honors society if they tried hard enough
And she is a horrible F ing teacher to say that not everyone is equal
Everyone is not equal. It's more important to teach children unity, strength, determination, compassion empathy, and independence but definitely not equity bc it's not being truthful.
This pissed me off, privllaged is earned. Not given.
The privilege and not privileged all go to the same school
We all gonna ignore the fact that she just outted all the homosexuals in that class
these exercises do nothing but show these kids that they are victims, instead maybe show them how to take resposibility for their own lives. teach them to work hard for their goals and that obstacles can be overcome.
i would be mad as hell if this were my kid and a teacher was trying to make them feel bad about things they have no control over
I don't understand how being straight represents privilege. All it represents is not being gay. xD
Start teaching your student instead of singling out people who have better lives than others
Gender and race don’t determine privilege
How do some of these questions even go to represent priviledge? Even leaving alone the race and gender questions, some still don’t make any sense.
Black shirt in front was taking steps like nahhh fuck this privilege is bad bullshit, I'ma win this shit
Don’t you hate when you answer something all the classmates look at you for some reason ?
Wow 3:04 nobody moved. That’s saying a lot about people today
Oh c'mon. They can all be just as successful as any other. What is the point of this?
xXAyizanXx I’m realllly late but the point is to show that a lot of people don’t have the same priveleges as others do because of their race, gender, or sexual orientation
it's hard to accept but there is WHITE PRIVELIDGE whether we want to accept it or not
I think you mean white guilt and a lot of people being victims
xXAyizanXx BC THEY CANT!!!! Thats the whole point of this video. WAKE UP from the fantasy ur living in.
So what if there's a lot of white privilege? You're shaming these kids because they had successful parents.
I would be on the grass😂 yet I know I still have many more opportunities than many people within and outside the U.S.
