On Diversity: Access Ain’t Inclusion | Anthony Jack | TEDxCambridge

This relaxing sounds so soothing. calming to my ears. Thanks for uploading this inspiring music.

Hold your color

Why did he have to be so LOUD!! Sending my thoughts and prayers to all disadvantaged and first generation students in America. Stay strong!

Duuuur dur dur duuuur

This well meaning guy just insists on being a passive victim in life, and no amount of opportunity will change that. Not one mention anywhere of any determination to succeed, not one mention of anything his culture could do to help. He should include people of his background in this talk, to explain the coming hurdles of life. But a big disadvantage is to just come from a single parent family that doesn't have a drive to excellence and that doesn't teach kids to focus on achievement. These things are taught in many Jewish and Asian families.
There's a grain of truth in everything I heard here.... but there is still a lot that is missing from this talk that would help the 'doubly disadvantaged'. Yes, colleges could give out vouchers for meals during breaks and explain to poor students about help from teachers. There should be some part of campus to stay during breaks, although leaving every dorm open might not be practical.
Lastly, if you've graduated from Amherst, clean up your grammar, it's free and easy and it's the language of success to speak in an articulate manner.

Amazing

Powerful and Real, thank you...also relevantes to other countries

i had to go to school as a child .... to learn and to eat cafeteria free food

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Love this take on diversity and inclusion. Having one does not mean automatically having access to the other. Just because students get into these schools and “Made it”, doesn’t mean they have access to resources because those resources were often not made with their thoughts in mind.

Such a powerful speech. Thank you Prof. Abraham Jack.

Why do we always add Latinos to our struggle? It’s weird and cringe; where I live Latinos are the fastest growing group economically, by far. We DON’T share their struggle.

Listen people. It's not about Diversity Equity and Inclusion. It's about Labeling people enemies who do not agree with EDI. Racists, Homophobs, Transphob, white Nationalist, Nationalist, Christian Nationalist. So if you don't go along with EDi they Label you, and arrest you. This is Socialism folks. Wake up to what they are teaching.

What a powerful talk. Thank you!

Diversity: Racism in disguise

Powerful!

That's a very white audience, isn't it? But that's the right audience...

This is such a thoughtful and informative Ted Talk. This is the power of storytelling which facts can only quantify but not totally represent. You also show why diverse voices must be included if we want to solve the problems of today!

Wow. You took the words out of my head and spoke them for me so they are understood. 🤯. Thank you! ❤

I have watched hundreds of TED Talks, especially for academic reasons. This is by far one of my favorites now. Professor Jack is extremely well spoken and easy to listen to. I love this.

I'm glad that he mentioned female privelage in this talk. I feel like we still have a long way to go before men's issues are taken seriously since we still live under the insane lie that women are treated like second class citizens in America, but the first step is acknowledging the disparity between the advantages that women have and the lack of access, inclusion and attention that men face. Men are dying everyday from the inability to have their needs met while women are drowning in attention and privelage. I don't want to knock down women, I just want men to have the ability to not be seen as subhuman monsters. Men face an epidemic of violence, but when violence happens to men, it's seen as deserved, whereas when women experience violence, it's seen as more severe because women are more valued. Women never have to be lonely and they can always eat or find allies if needed. Men will never enjoy this privelage, and many men kill themselves each day from loneliness.

This is so well said, and so important! Thank you, Anthony Jack, for talking about this. This was one of the best talks I've ever seen!

Wow. That was by far one of the most impactful and relevant talks on Diversity I've heard. Although there were laughs at the dating apps turned food delivery apps, I couldn't find the humor, as I was deeply troubled and sorrowed by the fact that for some, this is the only way to ensure their basic needs are met while trying to get an education. Amazing, actionable points, A+ Professor Jack.

He ain't never worked a day in his life and wants to lecture people lol

That’s right!!! Thank you for your service to helping diversity flourish!

t's nothing more than racial quotas. They just destroyed the schools for the academically gifted in NYC because certain "groups" didn't make the grade. So, rather than encourage the "groups' to study harder (like the Asian students do), they eliminated the entry qualifications in favor of a lottery system. They in effect numbed down the elite schools. I don't know what other country in the world would do such a self defeating thing, particularly in light of the fact that the USA rates 22nd in the world when it comes to math and science. Anyway, it was done to meet racial quotas. So much with a color blind, merit based society.

The laughter ehn!!!!!

I just assume you take a first class one-way flight to your homeland. The more of you, the worse the country gets. And not just this country, but every single country you're allowed to stay in. It's not racism, it's a simple fact supported by mountains of data. Have a great voyage.

I loved this! I’m working on my doctorate in higher education and I’ve been saying things like this forever so it’s nice to hear others thinking the same. Wow I didn’t realize that office hours meaning can get lost in translation

Wow! Very moving and insightful!! Just wow!! The best TedTalk I’ve ever heard.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion - three different words that mean the same thing, QUOTAS!

Thank you Professor Jack for keeping it all the way real. We need your voice and the world needs to know that "access ain't inclusion"! SPEAK!

What IS the scheme/intent/strategy for selecting an team entrance tune which is laced with profanity plus numerous racial slurs? Or was this just an oversight by Texas A&M? How best to correct this?

I'm supposed to be moved to tears by an overweight man complaining about campus being shut down for spring break?
I'm supposed to be sympathetic for some girl using foodie calls to get meals?

Welcome to the Victim olympics.

Why did they chose to show us the white faces in the audience?

This is a great lecture. Very insightful.

All emotional theatrics, no logic lol. People are waking up to this narrative thought:))

and he aint stutter!

In my 2 years of undergrad that I’m currently in, this is the most relatable profound speech i have encountered. Thank you

Stop whinging and work hard, get on with it.

OMG this..... he said what I always thought but never brought out to light. Wow.... I need to go process now

What are the benefits of diversity?
What are the drawbacks of diversity?
Is crime lower or higher in diverse cities?
Are people happier in countries with high diversity or low diversity?

Wow that is something I never thought about, when colleges close. Thank you for that education piece. To God be the glory for you being on stage!!!

I just like the way they presented each one of them. This is good staff and very educative . Will continue to learn from them by going through once at a time

This was great! I never thought of these things!
