The Misadventures of a (Tired) Gay Black Man | Kantwon Rogers | TEDxGeorgiaTechSalon

[@audiospanked4787]

I’ve never heard anyone speak so eloquently about the very real feelings that they have , you have put a smile on my face, just knowing that you are not afraid to speak of the terrible ways/things we as humans inflict on each other. I see you as a beautiful sensitive man aware of the inner ugliness that exists in many people. I hope you find the one person who treats you with the real love and respect you deserve.

[@bradbowlamma3039]

Wow that story in the beginning... when the punchline hit I was in shock with "just an experiment". I'm sorry for what you been through

[@Sarah-ty5ev]

My favorite professor of all time

[@ifeoluwaoloworaran3268]

[@jeffreybraverman]

I can see why

[@user-yp2ju2ws5e]

I heard and felt every word of this. Thank you.

[@queercafe9633]

[@lyeltonaugustosantos4226]

This talk spoke directly to me

[@cardiiiiii]

NOT THE SHORT CHIBBT ASIAN MEN OMGGGG

[@KhaosTalks]

This is everything

[@Tyreeleslie]

Well said

[@juliaglanville8625]

Also applies the story of US real estate associations de-tourning the meaning of freedom during the civil rights movement to mean property owners should be "free" to chose who can buy and rent in their "neighborhoods"... ie white nuclear families appropriately economically & professionally plugged in. Reactionary propositions 14, and later 13 in California and the political career of Ronald Regan and the neoliberal "moral majority" national and global trends in these fascist directions.

[@francoisbessing]

Wow. This makes me want to explode.

[@johnathancooper4817]

Explain

[@debbiedebdeb4183]

The title sounds like the name of a film or tv series.

[@malcolmx6535]

I got it.

[@virgosrus5733]

Child......

[@justinbarney9895]

I’m sorry but this sounds like cry cuz u didn’t get white acceptance and if that’s the case I would say to this man get it together please for the love of your melanin!!!! If I’m wrong please and he didn’t go through this mess cuz due to being rejected by a white man please educate cuz BOOO

[@davidmorales2859]

You’re incorrect. Please educate yourself, you completely missed the overall message of this.

[@rjwilliams5584]

You're very incorrect

[@willwowxdrice642]

The point went way over your head

[@justinbarney9895]

I wasn’t being foreal when I said correct me I know I’m right.. no1 missed anything or let anything go over head.. this topic is very basic to understand. Any poc that ain’t drank the juice know exactly what I’m talking about and know how and why ppl like this dude go after white ppl and get so bent out of shape when they are not excepted by them. So y’all can just walk on by cuz I’m not interested in any hooked poc or white ppl looking to feel oppressed

[@kantwonrogers6392]

@@justinbarney9895 Thanks for watching and providing your opinions! Oddly enough, though, I don't believe I ever said the race or ethnicity of the person I mentioned at the beginning of the story. I would encourage you to reconsider these assumptions because they have resulted in a rather skewed perspective of the talk. Anti-Blackness and racism as a whole aren't solely perpetuated by one demographic.

[@killerbee792]

All I hear is you crying you can't get the white man you wanted, sounds very cringe to me.

[@marc8h726]

Girl, bye.

[@Fordie47]

Well! You like what you like! Some like chocolate. Some like honey vanilla instead. Some like roses. Some like daisies instead. What people like or don't like has nothing to do with you. What do you like? Anything but yourself? Herein lies your problem.

[@killerbee792]

Right, I'm not knocking the argument, but this sounds a lil desperate to me. I'm not structuring an argument around not being able to date white 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@hannahnoh3899]
