Notice the two white people who gave their own lectures instead of raising their hands with a short, respectful question. Colonization is present in academia. We don't need someone to get up and "think up" a question in front of the whole room--said as the white person who has done this "agreeing out loud" myself too many times---We don't have to get up and speak and be heard every time we agree with something. All that's needed in that space is respectful listening.
