Sam's questions might seem racist to many but he's trying to get to the bottom of issues. That's the only way we can learn how and why people behave the way they do. I enjoy his classes. Very enlightening
True indeed! 100% agreed.
Exactly
Not really ...if it was the opposite... people would be outrageous....I don't think that the way forward is making white people feel bad about themselves.
Indeed
Yes
I really really love Dr. Sam’s lectures.
These lectures are absolute gold imo. His questions are genuine and intend to reach the bottom of a certain issue.
Too bad I will never have an opportunity to physically attend his lectures.
Dr.Sam is so Brave and i love the way he talk to young people, i would be so happy if i would have i chance to be on one of his lectures
The number of kids on their phones is astonishing... I just couldn't do that out of respect for the professor and the money spent to take these classes.
At lectures, I often type notes on my phone. It's easier to carry than my laptop. I do creative writing exercises on my phone too for my writing class.
@fireflywild7422 You are jumping to conclusions and this made you miss the whole point of this lesson - most student's use their phone to take notes during classes. Foreign students also translate a new word or the translation of a concept when mentioned by Sam.
@@geekerella7296 Why don't you just record them? You can take notes home.
At some point at the start of a class he will say "no laptops or cell phones allowed". Perhaps it started after this class.
Anytime someone comes into a room, and I feel uncomfortable, I go and find out about them. I TALK to them. This is how you get rid of prejudice.
people with similar interests that i dont have to walk on egg shells around.
He just picked out the cool looking guy and the nerdy looking guy. I knew he would. The nerdy looking guy seemed chill though after standing up.
This is so interesting. For me, the best way to select someone to be acquainted to is to determine how woke the person is. The most woke they are, the greatest distance I’ll keep from them.
Now I have to see what "yacht rock" is.
"Never seen a Black Person until he came to Penn St." No Way Brother.
This guy is attempting to use the Socratic method and for the most part is pretty good at it. A bit clumsy at times. Seems to want to provocate a lot. To stir the senses. What I’m lacking is a story arch. Yes this is a short clip but within every story there is a grand theme but within there are smaller lessons to be had. He is almost there.
Some people have no choice, it called redling.
Naw bruuuuuh I'm still da same Sea Sea I say wassup bruuuuh ta everybody
I'm from Australia. Would ANY of these students feel comfortable about either, themselves, or their friends visiting their respective partners' parents and putting their shoes up on the parent's dining table, or, furniture? How can ANY lecturer possibly be taken seriously after allowing this type of behaviour in a lecture?
Why was this recommended to me?
Dude was looking for someone athletic because he is probably into sports and more of a frat boy. The 2nd guy he chose did not look athletic and more of a intellectual person. Both are probably cool to hang out with.
Interesting. Almost all my friends are of a different race. I have never chosen my friends based on race. What a weird concept. I would never associate with someone simply because we are the same race.
Black Arab dude 😭 people should not get sensitive
I see lots of faces planted in their phones. Completely unattached to the lecture. Shall I say typical behavior of “todays youth”?
I believe Dr. Sam encourages them to use their phones to chat about the class.
Some students are taking notes on their phones, too.
I do notice, based on his actions, that the Nigerian student is more inclined to connect with white students and went out his way to mentioned his dislike of the behavior he associates with other blacks and I assume he means Black Americans. Perhaps his Nigerian parents tell him to stay away from those "terrible Black Americans, aka thugs, thieves and drug users." He needs a reminder of what "Black Americans" went through for him to be able be in that room.
Nigerians are try hards, they dislike black Americans in the US and West Indians in the UK, but they follow everything we do… our slangs, our carnivals etc but hate on us dispute the fact that it was our hard work which made their lives easier in both the US and the UK. I think it’s a jealousy thing esp. against Caribbean people because I think other people see us a the coolest black people…
What? I'm sure he's been reminded of what black Americans have been through. The whole conversation is about race and they talk about it often.
Doesn't seem like he has awareness. A bigger question is does he really care.
I'm sure Sam's a nice person but why does he word some questions so like raccciissstt
Can you come up with an example?
He’s trying to get people comfortable saying their true thoughts without them having to censor themselves as heavily. He’s prying out social truths so true discussion can be had and not politically correct wording.
BRO THE WAY HE ASK QUESTIONS IS CRINGY AND SOUND 'racist'
He's racist
That is because you took his words personally and you perceived it that way.
@@pashaw8380 well for me that the obvious way they could be perceived... otherwise, he should have added some context to explain his position....cuz question really sounds racist.
See his intentions not words
@@balachandransantosh8195 if it was the opposite.... people would have been really offended.
