- Everyone will walk away from this talk knowing something about privilege! Often times the thing that separates us from other people is the way we are viewing ourselves. What if we could all come together by viewing ourselves in a different way? Mike tells us how to come together in power! Michael Yates has been working in education for the last seven years as a college readiness tutor, education programs coordinator and a teacher. Michael is a proud graduate of Texas State University with undergraduate degrees in Applied Sociology and Communication Studies. He is currently pursuing his graduate degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Governors University. He has coached basketball for the last eight years and is a licensed USA basketball coach. Outside of school Mr. Yates hosts speech and debate camps and public speaking workshops for adult professionals through his organization, Rising Star Speech. He is also a regular contributor for an online publication called We Are Teachers. Mr. Yates has a wife, Alexandria, and three children, Austin, Brooklyn, and London. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
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.
Thank you... for the backpack power. As a woman of color, this is something I can definitely use!
Thanks for watching Maria!
thank you you have some power tool!
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.
Very empowering message - thank you
Outstandingly powerful! My backpack is full!
Powerful message.
Thank you!
HISD in the house!
Aye my teacher Mr. Yates talking about us
Sean Obuszewski wassup sean
He max hey Sean
Yates
This video is so important, especially right now 💞
Thank you. I think so too!
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.
dude this guy was my god damn 7th grade teacher
OMG SAME
he is my 7 grade teacher
Jim Foster does he make you do graded do nows, exit tickets, and make you answer all questions in SEE format?
Hey Ik him
Privilege isn't about what you've gone through. It's about what you haven't had to go through.
Ange - curious question are you saying we are all privileged? With blacks being slaves and Jews being burned alive ect
What have you had to go through?
What's your privilege?
@@petepersimmons7938 She hasn't had to go through anything.

Me Yates is this about Chris torrilie
🔥🔥
Heard of the term 'othering'?
I recall a gr.8 student telling me he'd be making more than I at 18 pimping a dozen women in a demeaning manner, but disappeared the rest of the year ..
Privilege is AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ?? How do I get some ??/
Oliver Phippen privilege doesn't need affirmative action period.
I hope you know why affirmative action? If not, a quick google search can educate you if a ted talk wont :)
Be a white woman
c m burn murder loot
@@cm-gt8cf Then why have it ???????
Who decides who else gets privileges?
😴💤Are we there yet 😳..😴
This guy stole my apple pencil once. pretty sure he sold it on facebook marketplace.
Money breeds privilege and that's it.
No it doesn't ?
Nope
Then we earn our privilege or our parents earn them
!!
Bridge the gap
IQ privilege
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.
@@forgetmenot5683 And what “privileges” would those be? In your own words.
@@himwhoisnottobenamed5427 hurdles I havent had to jump bc of various parts of self - for me those parts are primarily my whiteness and SES
I feel like I've stumbled upon some televangelist or MLM video.
They should’ve learned this from their parents
You lost me at texas,,,,
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.
It's not a smear to say people have privilege...everyone has privilege. Some are just born with more than others.
@@jubilantsleep its not because of race.
@@LordRykard9376 One privilege is definitely because of race. Sorry that hurts your feelings.
@@jubilantsleep Yes, all those white homeless and white Appalachians are super privileged.
You've been sold a lie sweety.
@@LordRykard9376 That’s not an argument. The existence of poverty does not disprove the existence of privilege.
