Excellent speech. I experienced the hair to long in jr. High was told by the principal to get a haircut or he would cut it.

sorry friend

As a Kenyan, I can attest to this. The Kikuyu people in my country, and I'm one of them,... most of them have lost their culture. And the most lost people in my country are Kikuyus. Especially our youth. Alcohol, drugs, hopelessness, suicide, crimw. Without roots, a person is lost. You have to anchor yourself in the wisdom of the people of thr Earth. Those who came before you. It's as if the ancestors call us through the blood in our veins to stay rooted in a way of life that was native to the people who stayed very close to nature. So whatever culture you come from, make sure you have your roots firmly planted no matter how far towards the sky your branches may reach.

This is the kind of cultural education we need to have.

I'm just wondering why the measurement of "success" that you use here is still by the white/European standard? We are "successful" because we are 1) Western medicine doctor or 2) white systemic lawyer or 3) excelling in white system schooling by achieving PhD? Have you changed your standard since this talk?

[@strandedinseattle9931]

I believe he was discussing how people outside his family/community look at his birth family of mixed race parentage and a background of poverty/strife and all the children are "successful" by the measure of those evaluating/judging them. Asking how is that possible for all of their children to excel when it goes against statistics of standardized education and racial communities.

[@angelaadsit5760]

I would venture to say that the rest of his mother's family would agree they enjoyed a better life than they did.

[@deniseroy589]

blab, blab, blab.... dig deeper privileges boy. you feel hollow. I don't feel it in you speech. what do you want to sell me. IM a C.O., so I heard it before. what do you want

[@johnarnold908]

So can we have an all white school to preserve the white culture and language....??.

[@lydcampy]

you can't be serious. that's already 99.99% of schools by default.

[@chrisfranklin327]

John Arnold Please lol

[@sebvojvoda]

This comment is tottaly unappropriate and rasistic

[@heidimccann6785]

This person lost who they are. There is no "white" culture or language. If they were connected to their people they would know this, but that's what happens in the US.

[@mickymouse2445]

Europe is full of white culture. American culture (native american) should have a place in america. I'm a european btw.
