A Conversation on Race and Privilege with Angela Davis and Jane Elliott

A Conversation on Race and Privilege with Angela Davis and Jane Elliott is the latest installment of the student-led Social Justice Solutions series. Each year, we invite activists, thought leaders, and the community to explore action-oriented strategies to affect social change. This year we are honored to host two luminaries who have long been on the front lines of pushing the national conversation on race and racial justice forward.

What do you know about Angela Davis????

[@elaineg60]

I had experienced Jane’s experiment...let me rephrase that; I was BLESSED to experience Jane’s experiment and LIVE IT as a (as my mother had always called me) a “deformed teenager”. While most people only saw me as a little smaller and younger than I was, and my teachers didn’t exactly agree with my mother’s term of “retarded” and I ended up in “gifted “ programs- this was the early-mid ‘70s in the Deep South. While the schools had been newly integrated, they were still segregated within themselves. A 9th grade teacher did the experiment hoping to open minds and hearts. Almost every white student walked out. I ended up not only befriending my cousins with more melanin; they were my ONLY friends...well, except for my Vietnamese sister I talked my family into taking in when her family had to move away from our city to a bad area with worse schools (one of the very poor white/Vietnamese areas near NO); then, my Chinese boyfriend my first year in college who was from Rhodesia and spoke with a British accent. My little brother remarked several times “oh geeze, she’s bringing the United Nations in again”. 😁. I marched in protests by age 14, a tiny little light-blond haired BLUE-eyed speck in the center of my beautiful black friends. My mother decided I might not be “retarded”, but I was(am) obviously mentally ill. Funny, the black nurses and doctors I hung out with as a teen volunteer at our then segregated hospital didn’t think so, nor did that precious little black 3 year old, in a sickle-cell coma for 4 months...her name was Katrina. Her first word as she came out of her coma-she hadn’t been expected to recover and while I was getting ready to leave one night, as I approached the door, I heard “Lane, LANE” in a weak but growing voice. I had a bit of a name change for a few months as she was never able to quite say e-Lain. Then I became “laney”. Close enough. 😊 Please, PLEASE SHARE every Jane Elliot video you can find! I’m MUCH older these days and while Janes name left my memory for many years-the effect she had on me never did. It’s guided my entire life. I want DESPERATELY, especially today, where I’m constantly hearing not only white people, but black people swearing that “racism doesn’t exist anymore” and “stop playing the race card”. Guess what folks; RACISM STILL EXISTS, AND, it’s PERVASIVE! In fact, I watched one of the most idiotic, uninformed bull crap coming out the mouth of a man who is somehow revered as an intellectual leader, telling his viewers there are physiological brain differences and measurable IQ differences between blacks and whites and that blacks are just born to be stupid. I threw my iPad across the room. I became a physician. The ONLY differences between the “races” are the amount of melanin in the skin and the far too long institutional oppression of people with more melanin. As Jane so eloquently says, in 30 years the demographics of the US will change. No matter WHAT you idiots try and do to prevent it-SORRY, ITS HAPPENING! DEAL WITH IT and WAKE UP! A Boomer B.I.T.C.H.

[@keithkoganeislife3144]

I don’t know what needs to be removed from this country because systemic oppression no longer exists. I am part Native American and I grew up on a reservation for the first few years of my life. After I moved to a larger town of 50,000 people. I have been around the States and Canada as well as a few places in the world. I have never witnessed “white privilege” in my life. In fact I would say because I’m Native American I have privileges that my white friends did not. I was able to get a $10,000 scholarship and my grades were not the highest, mostly 70% as an average. Well on the other hand some of my friends who were white whom were getting averages of 80%-95% and they were not eligible for hardly any scholarships or bursaries. This video has made it more clear to me as to why I’m a republican. I don’t think myself as a victim because I’m Native and gay. I am responsible for what I do with my life and its outcome. I don’t go out and blame white people for my misfortunes, I take responsibility. In short white privilege does not exist and coloured people are not oppressed. P.S. Angela Davis is a snake and a hypocrite. She supported the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the USSR who were an imperialist power(which she says she’s against.) Also if white privilege still existed today then why are Asians at the top of financial earnings and most educated?

I have to struggle to hear what's being said. I wish the microphones could have been turned up sufficiently.

[@ThisbeandPyramus]

Need to use earbuds

[@daysimartus2318]

Love Angela Davis she speaks on all people of color, not forgetting the struggle and racism others are going through. We all matter and need to fight to be seen and recognized.

[@user-gi2kq5iu5l]

That girl shouting "YAS" every so often...

[@shazbatagatha6100]

I've been through most of these struggles growing up..being black and young..living in urban areas as well as suburbia..but these women have fought battles I've never known.. I intend to research both of these women like never before!! This really opened my mind!!

[@UHGCSW]

Great idea! This conversation captures a mere fraction of their incredible work and contributions. Thanks so much for your interest!

[@shazbatagatha6100]

@@UHGCSW I'm going to subscribe !!👍👍😊 thanks so much for my enlightenment!!

[@bexcouling1308]

Unsurprising that so many people in the comments are focusing solely on Jane Elliott here. It’s unsurprising because white women ALWAYS get listened to more than Black women. Angela Davis is absolutely incredible. Yes Jane makes some good points but start listening to what Black women themselves have to say, not just when it comes from a white voice.

[@littleelephant367]

agree especially bc Jane never really answered the question directly 🥲🥲

[@nicantlacauniversityongoog2162]

Thank you because listening to you is therapy for me and erases my hate

[@trina2361]

@Eber Yahuan B.S. Angela Davis is not afraid of losing her job lol she's been fired from the University over 3 times for standing up for what's right! I think she doesn't share the complete Jane Elliott message, all of her close friend were murdered and she was almost imprisoned for false crimes. She is the female activist for human rights (civil rights are human rights)

[@kennethbeeler1]

Watching for the first time in 2023 ✊🏾

[@tanyalake9152]

Majority of the comments are giving more credit to Ms. Jane Elliott instead of both women. That also proves both women's points when it comes to favoring whites over black/brown people/women. You lots will never learn.

[@gristen]

very true. jane elliot has always been the foot in the door for white people to unlearn racism but angela davis is who you're getting in the room to see

[@vvll8748]

Must be people that are not at all familiar with her legacy. To me it was clear that Angela Davis was the main guest star and the other two on stage acted like it. They introduced her last and her answers got way more of a reaction

[@CamilaSaurus]

@LivingOnLifeDyingfromLife187 As a minority (Indian-American), I came to this video and stayed for Angela Davis. In fact, while Jane has some important insights, Jane’s privilege was obvious while she talked and it was getting on my nerves. She should have given the floor more to Ms. Davis - she is who everyone should be paying attention to.

[@bentnotbroken4192]

I think it's because their teaching style is different We can learn great lessons from our teachers, even enjoy the subject, but you'll always have that one teacher that's funny, down to earth. So you'll tend to favor them more. Most of know how smart Dr.Davis is, she's just different from Ms. Jane

[@ITALJUTE]

For me, it was simply that I could hardly hear what Dr Davis was saying. I have enormous respect for both ladies, but the honest truth is that I could hear clearly everything Jane Elliott said. It was frustrating to miss half of most sentences Dr Davis spoke.

[@apache7074]

MAD RESPECT TO BOTH LADIES!!!✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

[@theloudmouthpodcast8253]

She didn't even answer the questions directly 😭😂😂😂😂Gangsta

[@supergrover17]

Watching again Tuesday 10 October 2023

[@granvillewalkerjr4321]

Jane Elliott should be the new Secretary of Education. Her impact on America's youth would reverberate in positive waves for generations!

[@njerimusful]

What a fantastic duo of great (women) thinkers :). The students in the audience were so much better for having been there and I pray they carry these lessons with them forever

[@tonysskitmarkz4257]

Long before I ever heard if Jane and Angela and so many others like them, from a very young age and when I started listening to Hip Hop, it was Hip Hop that educated me on racism, what to watch, what to read, what to say, how to carry myself, how to react, in the presence of racism. All those suggestions they recommended I've practiced so thank you ladies and Hip Hop and true fighters against racism.

[@lisariley7436]

Hi Comrade Angela Davis, has pleasure of meeting you twice. I am grateful, honor, and salute you my sister of queens. I will continue for fight for our people.

[@reignlee7649]

This was a masterclass 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️ Much love to Miss Angela Davis and Miss Jane Elliot.

[@mikeday2393]

this is one of the most important things Ive seen in my life......right fellow white folk?

[@jaceyarlene6154]

Oh snap... this is a priceless interview that is VERY informative.

[@ashleafookami2032]

2023 now and yup. I think every one should watch this.

[@killahken]

Salute Jane Elliott 💯 She's wide awake

[@sianifairy9070]

I love Jane Elliot...habe seen several videos of her work, but had not yet heard Ms. Davis speak. Different voices, each needed. So good. And that amazing audience!

[@UHGCSW]

We agree! The audience and energy was amazing!

[@UHGCSW]

Yes, the audience was incredible! We were inspired to see so many energized and engaged for this important conversation. Thank you for watching!

[@deeparker1561]

It's 2020 and everything being said is still relevant in today's society! This is an educational tool that everyone needs to utilize, especially in our educational systems.

[@marygaines8878]

Watching this again in 2023. More relevant now than ever! Literacy and full access to all education and books req’d for democracy

[@parvin46]

I just watched this again in 2023. The topics and responses including those involving Israel are just as important and in some ways more relevant. I love Angela Davis and Jane Elliott.
