Professor Sam is awesome because he doesn't just put out information, and just want student to memorize but rather explains in dept and gives students the opportunity to add or share their way of thinking which encourage students and those watching his lectures to think critically. In my opinion I think he is a rare professor and we need more people like this in the educational system. It is my opinion, don't come for me!!!!!
I like profesor Sam. To me He's the best profesor I have even seen. I am from Africa,and I apreciate your frank way of teaching. I wish my high school teachers were cool as you. I am Greating you from Somalia.
@@BishopEddie5443 We see the deviation even in the way we think differently about issues. There are some deep seeded affects and multi-generational PTSD, our black American brothers are dealing with; not to mention the destruction of cultural capital. Much love from Somalia. I know how privilege works on both ends of the stick having lived both realities (from being treated as a little prince; to constantly having your confidence attacked by the very teachers your parents have intrusted you with as a child). It is more real than you can imagine. Best thing to do to a hater is succeed despite of their active hate; which starts in grade-school. We must work with our white allies to fight these pernitious racist; these terrorists - that divide and weaken the country like no other.
I actually think it's quite interesting how people in general AND the class interpreted that comment. Because in a previous class live stream he made a comment about a white kid being so white... (i think the frat boy?) and everyone laughed and thought it was funny and nobody even made a connection that it was seen as racist, then he made this comment and a lot of people (esp. the black people) immediately went "WTF. why does he think he can say that and think it's ok. just cuz he's constantly acknowledging that he's white? not cool." (you could see that thought in a lot of their faces). I think people need to really think about that and think about why they react differently to a joke of the same fashion. This is kinda what he's talking about. invisible strings making up our experiences and those affect our thought process and reactions.
14:43 is precisely what US Supreme Court Judge meant when she badically made a controversial statement about how being a Latina maked her exceptionally qualified to be a US Supreme Court Judge. This is the great thing about humans. Individually we have our own distinct perspections, see different/uniques sides of an argument, see the world through a specific lens which is exponentially made better the minute we have others also view it for themselves.
So. As an aside. I'm not sure if anyone of these students may follow recent trends in research of the brain. Which may or may not be true, but trends non the less. These 'strings' that Sam is saying that connect to every person actually have developmental affects since the day you are born. The human brain takes a very long time to mature, comparatively. There is essentially an almost 20 year maturation period in which it is developing. Much much longer than most any animal. Not only that but every persons brain develops in a different way and a different order. The order matters and the process does not work if all the seemingly infinite pieces are not put together properly. And, that final outcome is very consistent in that you get a functioning brain. And, this 20 year layering of biological material changes based off of experiences, environment, economic class, gender, race, etc. the list goes on. You may become more sensitive to topics regarding money. Or feel happy when it rains. Which I think cleans the earth. Or an incredible need to watch the latest popular TV show. Then after that your brain becomes more concrete and set in its ways until you reach an age when it essentially begins to decline. There seems to be a trend I observe in the US that if something goes wrong. Or someone feels hurt. That because we are all individuals with rights and a vote, then there are a small number of reasons why that one could easily count on ones hand they had a bad experience. But, in fact there is often a whirlwind of different causes and 'strings' that make us who we are and cause the interactions we have. And, I would argue that there is a finite number of 'strings'. In a world where it is possible to talk to almost anyone else in the world the 'strings' begin to reach more and more people. And, vice versa, more and more strings come flying back to us. So his argument that we are not free is, in my opinion, and I could stand to be corrected not that we are chained. It is more that we are much more a collective than an individualist may believe. And, the more open you and/or your society is. The more strings you have, and that others have of you. Which is great in the sense it makes possible to have vastly different perspectives and multi dimensional economies that produce a variety of goods. But, it also means society is ever changing at a comparatively faster rate. There certainly are some basic pillars of morality and human rights that we must attach to and defend. But, at the same time there are certainly things that people cling to that became in-grained in there development that can complicate society. For example, one can infer that in this class many of these students were very much groomed to be where they are. There was not a whole lot of real choices they had to make. Meanwhile, I smaller number may have actually had to pioneer there way to be where they are. And, a lot of choices were made to get there. And, so a seemingly uncountable number of differences as simple as this one example brings a seemingly uncountable set of crossroads. A major reason why psychologists typically start with the clients childhood. Is that it is much easier to transfer ideas and navigate there 'map' if you have some sense of how these certain 'strings' caught hold. And, so I would argue that in one world the girl was indeed aggressive sounding. But, in whole other world. She was not. Eventually, with a society consisting of a whole other people and interactions maybe these worlds will not be as apart. And, then we will finally be able to trace back the truth of this interaction. But, it's all still a very new field of study.
@@BishopEddie5443 That's all been done in Africa for thousands of years. In fact, that's all STILL happening today. Hell, statistically black men in America are doing that to black women right now. I'm not sure how your remark relates to the op?
@@BishopEddie5443 oh I see, you're spamming this in every comment on this video even though it's irrelevant to most threads. So you're just a lazy troll.
1:15:26 If you look at entertainment do you find the same attributes amongst aggressive lyrics in songs? Is this the largest observation of black women? Would the two be conflated because of exposure?
After ALL of Sam's explanations at 44:44 the black student says it's a thing for white students still not understanding as Sam said "it's a thing for all people. ( judging by shade of skin in regard to educated or ignorant).
So I just had an interesting thought I really love these they're very thought-provoking, so I had a thought the girl who they're saying is being aggressive, well I'm a white woman with a very loud voice and have always being told to 'stop yelling at me!' or stop yelling, or your being too loud, and I'm like I'm not yelling when I get passionate about something my voice goes up. I also have been past up on some jobs with we love your personality and your skills but you are too boisterous or loud or bubbly? WHAT! That being said maybe it has gone that way for black women as they have more bold voices than other races so it somehow turned into a racial thing 🤔 just a thought, TY
I watched the other segment and her tone was actually her nice voice and not aggressive just matter of fact. It was very odd and out of pocket as he said to even bring it up.
When you were introducing Alex, " Bro, you look like you have dark skin, they can't see you from the other side of the room. That was a very racist statement. If I was there I would call your ass out on it. I am a Black Woman and I would never say that, I am truly offended.

What study did he reference??
After ALL of Sam's explanations at 44:44 the black student says it's a thing for white students still not understanding as Sam said "it's a thing for all people. ( judging by shade of skin in regard to educated or ignorant).
@soc119 there's a typo in the video @7:43 "Socail Media Video Editor". It's been like that in the past few vids too.
So I just had an interesting thought I really love these they're very thought-provoking, so I had a thought the girl who they're saying is being aggressive, well I'm a white woman with a very loud voice and have always being told to 'stop yelling at me!' or stop yelling, or your being too loud, and I'm like I'm not yelling when I get passionate about something my voice goes up.

I watched the other segment and her tone was actually her nice voice and not aggressive just matter of fact. It was very odd and out of pocket as he said to even bring it up.
14:44 I get what he is saying but at the same time recognize, a lie had to be committed weather of omission or not for this disagreement to occur.
The girl on the right really does act like she's always ready to argue even now, roll it back watch her. The girl on the left seems smart.
I know I'm biased and judge people based off of appearance
When you were introducing Alex, " Bro, you look like you have dark skin, they can't see you from the other side of the room. That was a very racist statement. If I was there I would call your ass out on it. I am a Black Woman and I would never say that, I am truly offended.
nah he is offended by BLACK ACCENT basically...
