I am presenting this video to a faith based organization seeking to become a welcoming congregation. Dr. Toya Webb will surely open the door wide on racial microaggressions.
This is an internal expose of the reality of people who look like me. I love this. I'm here for it.
Well said Dr. Toya!
This message was very informative. I love it. Thank you.
Greetings, Dr. Webb. Thank you for your erudite, eloquent, and knowledgeable presentation on microaggression. I learned so much. You inspired me to write a speech for my Toastmasters meeting. Moreover, I plan to have this discussion with my English class. I'm convinced that my students will have a great deal to say about microaggression. Again, thank you.
Thank you for this message. There is so much truth in your words.
Thank you for this interesting video, it helps divide the types of microaggressions. As a multicultural individual, I get microaggressions on different things. People pick on their choosing like it was a special buffet. Some will mock my curly hair and call it messy, others think it's okay to insult my German origins because it's not African, as if racism had boundaries
Great message
I had that happen to me when I was in the store. I had to tell them " I do not work here". Sometimes we make assumptions about why people do what they do. It is human nature. It is better to put shingles on a roof than to try to modify the weather. Thank you for this video.
Well put Dr. Webb. With today's domestic and international struggles and conflicts, microaggressions have become common parlance. For example, yesterday in the CZcams comments left about Modi's government and who it benefits in India I came across a reference to the "puncture community." Many people left laughing emojis as their reply. This term, it turns out, refers to Muslims. Thank you for this presentation, I wish that I could share it with some people I have encountered lately without it being felt like an attack on their opinions and world views. How do we bridge that defensive divide?
I am a American of Mexican decent. I have lived a lifetime of this.
The idea of microinvalidations is new to me but I experience those a LOT in my line of work.
'the encounter'... Brave. I can see your public speaking course paying dividends though. That cadence, the pacing, the uniform hand movements. The pearls. Macro analysis. Macro victimhood.
Dr Webb referred to systems of oppression throughout this talk.
It’s true that it is rude and presumptuous to assume someone works somewhere just by their phenotype. I wonder if the presenter would have been offended if someone asked her first if she worked at the store in question.

What bothers me is "racialization," routine introduction of race in contexts unrelated to racial discrimination. This creates an opportunity to project racial stereotypes in routine matters. I am also bothered by the deeply held belief of many that distinct races represent biologically distinct humans; a 19th century invalid view that prevails among many in the 21st century.
The last "ism" that must be acknowledged is Specieism. The Thinking that it is ok to eat one animal and keep another as a pet. It is no different from keeping people oppressed because of what was once socially acceptable. Just because it has always been done doesn't make it right.
lol nice video
