Why, she did a social experiment that forced a fake racism on people for the sake of proving a point out of context. Racism and Tribalaiam are two different things. Racism is the hatred of other races, tribalism is the preference of self like races. All people are guilty of both.

[@saltypork101]

She's great, but it would be pretty egregious to give her that kind of accolade simply for echoing what black people have been saying this whole time. Instead of putting her on a pedestal like that, the best way to honour her would be if we all learned the lessons she is trying to teach.

Watching "Blue-Eyed" in 2001 woke me up that I could never truly "know" what people suffering discrimination go through, period. But rewatching her documentary in 2021 made me question where we went wrong. Thank you, Jane Elliott. It truly is the greatest honor to have been wisened by your exercise, just by watching it.

She should be teaching minorities why vaccines are safe and that they need to go out and demand free access to vaccines.

Oh so now I get it. She's narrowing down white people with blue eyes and blonde hair. 😆

[@parrotjunglecolada8270]

None of her points make sense, she just hates white men and Christianity and got off on abusing white people, she’s a kunt and should have never been allowed around children, if the only reason blacks are unsuccessful is because of white oppression then how do you explain all of Africa? How do you explain every single black neighborhood in the world? How do you explain that they never invented anything ever even long before colonialism, it’s because they are biologically dumber and more prone to violence and lack self control, it’s so freaking obvious you can see it everyday with your own eyes

[@ronaldsneek]

I'm from Holland, when I was about 10 we had a black boy and girl in our class it was interesting because that skincolor was new for us, it was 1978. We played together and had fun together. Racism was not in our vocabulary, there was no black and white there was friendly and unfriendly. I have brown eyes by the way.

I completely commend this Professor on a level that most human beings don't have to ability to impress me on... 🥳🤩🥳They did a similar experiment to my Kindergarten Class & the kids with green, grey or blue eyes were physically fighting the other kids on the playground, way after out teacher told us it was over... It's showed how "once a person gets something negative in their mind for 1 day, it may take weeks to free them of the negative impact it beholds" Stockholm Syndrome is the devil's pie... We need to Abolish Racism all together!!! #GreatVid...🎥🎬🎥

[@markaja2]

She illustrated a problem with the way people think that connects with people on a logical and emotional level. She was angry at the weakness of people to fall victim to prejudice. This is how she made her niche and spoke the truth. Her anger at injustice overwhelmed any fear of retribution from revealing the truth. So many people today say that considering the truth doesn't matter because because we experience truth differently. This kind of thinking is not good for individuals, societies, or international relations. "Let's ignore whether Schroedinger's cat is alive or dead and make up our own story." Schroedinger's cat analogy was made up to show how ridiculous a new idea in physics was. That new idea was found to be true in quantum mechanics. The truth in the eyes of quantum mechanics is what is mostly likely to be true, not that the truth can't be known. I think finding solutions should look for win-win situations and be willing to have some things to compromise, and other things to not compromise.

[@chrisfinch8637]

Whenever I hear Jane mention the story of where she was, during the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., it makes me feel as if I was there with her, when it had just happened. It's very interesting and moving, that she remembers the whole tragedy, as if it happened just 10min. ago. Even when I learned about MLK Jr. and his family, as well as the tragedy, for the first time in Grade School, it made me sad that this society would ever take away such a powerful hero, who was dreaming of the world joining hands together, no matter what the color of anyone's skin is. Jane shall forever be remembered, as the teacher who taught her third grade class the importance of how to treat others fairly and what discrimination can feel like, over the course of a few hours, or even a few days. Jane Elliot, without you, certain people wouldn't be who they are, if it hadn't been for your blue/brown eyed exercise.

[@susanjones7482]

Kudos to her for showing a class of all white kids exactly what discrimination feels like. However my elementary school decided to run the same experiment when I was in 2nd grade, in California. That class was pretty diverse. Black, white, Asian, Hispanic, Filipino , Samoan, etc. We didn’t need to learn about diversity. We were already inclusive. So all it taught brown-eyed kids was how to feel superior, and the blue-eyed kids learned what it was like to be ridiculed by their “friends”. When the “best” eye color switched to blue, there was a massive meltdown from the brown-eyed kids (tears and wailing) and the experiment was halted. While the blue-eyed kids learned a valuable lesson, there were only about 4 of us, the brown-eyed kids (from what I see of them on social media) never lost their desire to feel superior to others.

[@DNSMLT]

I learned at a young age that hatred is the culprit and idiot ELITES teaching children about racism just to keep racism alive. I grew up in a diversified city, neighborhood and school. Most of us loved each other! We never looked at the color of our skin.

LoL... I'll give her credit. She is trying, really trying. What she FAILS to accommodate for is the cultural and socioeconomic issues. Today, what she thinks she is helping to educate to identify and/or expose she is actually empowering excuses. People don't think they the way she she presents, everything is an action/reaction. A person fights the police the police take action. People act quiet and respectful they get it reciprocated. The skin color thing isn't what it used to be and the like of her isn't helping anything, all she is doing is making excuses and staging.

I’m sorry but being her age that should’ve never came out of her mouth because anyone with common sense knows that racism involves mainly race (with the unacceptable exception of actual racists) yet theres so many people who praise this thinking.

We are all 30 to 50th cousins. Civilization started in Africa. Eve was the first female created by God. Ancient Egyptians were African. Look at the pharoahs with full lips and broken noses to hide the African features. Imoptep performed over 200 surgeries. Cataract surgery was 1st performed in Africa. The ancient Nubia which is now Sudan has 3 times the pyramids than Egypt. Africans came to the US many centuries before Columbus. Native Americans came from Africa. Civilization started in Africa. Egypt is a country in Africa and not the middle east. Some Europeans have tried to white wash African history and African American history. Racism is ignorance.
