lol it's actually not. people who ban books are mostly because these books try to indoctrinate children. or spread lies packaged as history. search youtube for the number of parents in public schools in the US and the kind of books they seek the school boards to ban. democrats/leftists are just disingenuous people.
People should please step out of their negativity. Ms Ngozi Adichie is one of the best speakers out there. I admire her level of confidence and knowledge. The way she dresses and her hairdo define her true authentic self and she does not pretend to be what she is not. As a matter of fact, she should be someone to be emulated. Thank you Ms Ngozi for making us proud!!😊

People who are afraid of the truth are afraid of letting the truth known by others, especially the next generation who will stand up to challenge some truths that have been hidden for decades.
I was taught about slavery in my school from the age of 7years even though I felt sad, it empowered me and made me know how my ancestors suffered in the hands of some white people who were engaged in the atrocities of slavery. The inhumanised treatments they suffered. Black history must be taught early in schools.
I am in my 50s and we, too, were taught about slavery from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Our teachers were predominantly black, and they always reminded us of what great things our ancestors achieved even in the midst of great suffering. It was a privilege to get an education because so many of our ancestors were not allowed to attend school. Lastly, my parents, who experienced Jim Crow laws taught and modeled forgiveness! What a powerful concept forgiveness is, eh?
This is my own experience in North America the gang members trying to hurt me they are from all race black Americans and white Americans ,Africans Nigeria I was born in Nigeria Asia they members in all countries for me it’s about Good and evil people in all countries
@@PepTalkTillYouDrop Who are you? I don't know you, so I am not referring to you (you should know that). I know alot of people that are proud of Chimamanda as I am.
I am a teacher with over 2 decades of experience, teaching and living on all the habitable continents of the world, and I am now uploading my experience unto my channel, with the aim of inspiring more people to embrace what I do. My goal is to hopefully stem this rising tide of hiding the truth, which is currently sweeping across the globe. As a Nigerian myself, Chimamanda has inspired me so much, and I know I have used her 'Danger of a Single Story' speech in all the classrooms I have entered, simply because a lot of people (by instinct) do not expect me to occupy the role I currently occupy on the international teaching stage. Children need to be exposed to crucial history and knowledge, albeit at a level appropriate for them. Wrapping them up in ignorance bliss just because someone somewhere thinks it will hurt their feeling is wrong - people who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.
Chimamanda is one of my favorite writers. I have ALL of her books in my personal at home library. A library I built up for more than 20 years. Banning of books is often done by those who do not read well; many are hypocrites, some wolves in sheep clothing. Reading isFUNDAMENTAL!!
The ordinary is okay. This is one of the most profound statements I’ve heard in a while and yet it’s so simple ❤ a beautifully held conversation this was
People who do not read are the ones who want to ban books. People whonread know that no book should ever be banned. Ideas should always be expressed and discussed.
I love you Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Odeluigbo)Epitome of beauty and brains. Your seamless objective analysis with facts is fascinating. Keep it up sis. The host is equally amazing, fantastic job. Cheers to both of you.
the sad future for the next generation is the loss of their creativities but it must and should not be like that their parents should encourage it as an African i started reading at 10years old because i lived with an uncle who read and at 73 i spend 3 hours or more a day reading feeding my mind which is so important people do not realise how far books could take a children they can become writers like Ngozi Qprah Winifrey is a billionaire because of her love of books early in her life which has shaped her to be where she is a child who loves books could become a poet, music writers etc articulate, confident so many thing he could do instead of looking for jobs please parents especially Africans encourage your children to read and write so they do not lose their creativities feed their minds
But rhat child could still develop well intellectually with the wide variety of books that are not banned. Books about sexual inclinations should be age specific.
It was the banning of Aristotle's Metaphysics that drew the curiosity of Aquinas to secretly read it and gave back the lessons of same to the very group that banned it giving the Theology that has shaped the Western Catholicism. Motus Immobilis of Aristotle becoming the Springboard for Aquinas' Living God.
Wow! Book banning reminds me of apartheid South Africa. It is true Chimamanda, we were curious and making sure we were reading those banned books as quick as we could.
It is nauseating whenever as a black man .... I hear the black race being compared to gay people. For whatever reason stop comparing blacks to gay people
Great woman ! She does make the finer distincions and does not get pulled into narratives. Like she mentions "appropriate" vs. biased book categories. She does nevertheless not address the root cause of todays banning paranoia which is a reaction to an agenda aimed at weakening the social fabric of our society.
She is a Nigerian and Igbo girl by tribe. Her hair style is the Nigerian Igbo girl hairstyle. Even though she is a naturalized citizen of US, she still showcases her Nigerian identity
It will enlighten them, broaden their perspective, help them understand about people who identify in a way that may be different to them. Banning books about LGBT does not eradicate the group from society nor does it mean that their stories don't exist because they're not available to be read on American bookshelves. Kids end up being dumbed down, unenlightened and unable to understand societal issues. Why ban books on one group, LGBT and not ban on another such as WASP or men? Why should a minority group's literature and narrative be banned? In a country that prides itself in upholding free speech? No justification in 2023, in 1823 maybe, not 2023. My two cents from Kenya.
People who embrace evil those who promote evil in the society are the one banning her book. Secondly they are afraid more money 💰 is going to come out of this book 📖
I love Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie! She is a voice, like Toni Morrison, and Ta-Nehisi Coates, that more need to hear, absorb and learn from. Politics and racism as a flavor of American experience has no place in education. Alas, everyone, uneducated and unexposed to urbanity as most here are, act like know-it-alls and insist on comfort in their ignorance and reject out of hand what they know naught about, and that reporters, like the one here must ask the ridiculous question-line from their question bank, Do you have hope? or Where is the hope in conversations around race, CRT, etc? Ridiculous, knee jerk interview requirement -- only in America! First of all, would you have "hope" if similarly situated? I think not! Enragement is a closer emotion, and even that is useless in the face of ignorance which is largely lacking in self-reflective perspectives and drive to become urbane. That said, please keep writing and reporting, tides change so there is hope despite the toxic brew of ignorance paired with entitlement! BTW: CRT, critical race theory, is only taught on the graduate level in college. That elementary School boards are up in arms about it and PTAs are exercised in opposition to it attests in my world to just how deep racism is cut in to the American psyche, and how critical it is to expose it for what it is as the air of knowledge and truth are the only antidotes!
How did she say her second name again?😂😂😂😂😂 I was so sure she wouldn't be able to say her first name but miraculously she did it good... Her second name "NGOZI" in my Language kiswahili means "SKIN"
The truth is, we, all the ones under the equatorial line, or better saying, non European or non North American people are starting to feel the impact of their true view of us, as animals in zoo. All the questions, all the "empathy" of our problems is not heartfull, it's just curiosity, just poking a dog and see what it does, throwing some fruits and seeing what we like, adopting kids as pets, as their saviors... "Are you a writer? Do they read? Do they know what book is? They expect us to tell sad histories about our perspective of non europeans, just to give the feeling that we are being heard... But that's a lie. We are entertainment, otherwise, we don't have any value. Our suffering is their joy. That makes them humans, makes them superior, makes them good people, because they are listening, helping, as long as we are suffering.
I totally agree that book banning is not ideal, and I also agree that the latest series of books banning is mostly driven by the politicising of almost everything, including teaching (I would say, the indoctrination) of children in schools. I want to challenge Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on two points; 1. The people who are objecting to these books in schools and public libraries do not read. This is false. 2. I would like to know if her children attend public schools. Parents whose children attend public school know exactly what is going on. Finally, history should be taught properly, factually, and fully and not emotionally or politically.
History cannot be taught without the context of politics, and emotion. The politics of deciding what is taught is emotional. And even historians have a variety of perspectives about how history should be taught. Example: historiography, the writing of history, especially the writing of history based on the critical examination of sources vs teaching facts without context. It is factual that Europeans committed genocide on multiple continents. The Myth of American Exceptionalism. The idea that the United States is uniquely virtuous may be comforting to Americans but it is a lie but we continue to teach it. Which is improper by your own assertion.
The tares🍀 and wheat🌾 need to learn to grow together. We have to be as wise as serpents and as calm as doves, doing our best to live in peace with each other
@@MsGratefulgal you just spewed nonsense. Light and darkness will never mix. You should give birth to your child and allow a strange book teach him or her that trees have genders or that they can marry a truck, then you will know what to do to those books
@@didimarcus277 Evening is a mixture of light and darkness (transition). Evening lights or early morning lights are beautiful. Take time to observe the moments. Nature teaches better and every fact of life is a 'book' to be read and information disseminated from those facts is not 'corrupted'😊 it is our understanding which can be limited
I agree that it is about knowledge, but it's also about teaching children how to speak the truth. By banning books your white washing and therefore you are lying; you are teaching children that it's okay to change history if you don't like what you read.
As a person of color myself, I hate the fact that my skin color (something I'm born with) is being equated daily with some other person's personal CHOICE. This LGBTQ lie which started gaining wide popularity only in the last few decades is seriously disturbing and yes, I would personally ban such ideologies too.
@@edwardkannyo4041 I think she meant to say, lifestyle instead of ideology, if you can't force certain people to change their lifestyle, why don't you try to understand them? that's the way God created them.
Being Black or a POC is a social identity, you are a member of a social group. Similarly, LGBTQ+ is a social identity too. I hate the fact that some Black people - despite experiencing the pain and oppression that comes with our social identity being stigmatized and/or marginalized in Western societies - have no qualms about stigmatizing and marginalizing other social groups like LGBTQ+. If you are against racism and anti-Black racism, it is both hypocritical and ignorant Not to be against homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism. You cannot be against one type of oppression, while touting and being for another form of oppression. SMH.
Chimamanda Ngozi you are a germ and a darling to to me and many readers world and especially in Africa. Your Choice of word is so magnificent and extremely better than so manny European and first English speakers who write in English. Though l love your English eloquence please write one pigeon English book the Nigerian style . l am desperately want to understand it out of reading. Listening to it does not learn me much but reading can . l am sure great comedy it will be😂😂😂
Banning books promotes the need to find out reason for which book is banned and there will be the curiousity in a good reader to find out why, hence, ban promotes the sales of book. So USA is helping the sale of the book thats banned. Its a case of no wine ,no pay. And in most cases, people that banns book don't even read it.
We do not mind if our children are involved in every form of depravity or experiment with every form of narcotic, we just don't want them intellectually rounded and able to make sense of the world around them, the world we have created, and then be forced to judge our actions and hypocrisy.
In Greece, for example, the public educational system is poor. Therefore, in order to give your child the best education and knowledge, most parent have to supplement the lacks with private tutoring. Around the world, parents will need to compensate these overall failings of public education by stepping in increasingly and making sure their children have access about history, geopolitics, critical thinking, access to novels,to fiction and assuring a child becomes an educated knowledgeable person armed to be able to face the complexities of our world.
That moment she said, "Those people who ban books dont actually read" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. So true
How is it true? That reprogramming minds in a path that it not good for them through books you say is what?
So true 👍🏿
Yeeeees sooo true.
Just like one of the presidential candidates declared few years ago "I love the poorly educated".

Shalom....??? Idf speaking..?
I loved the fact that she recognised that children should not come in contact with certain books not their age...
There's beauty in the ordinary. Thank you, Chimamanda.

Pls keep living for the truth you are encouraging we upcoming generation to stand for what is worth living for. Rooting for you ngozi.
the sad future for the next generation is the loss of their creativities but it must and should not be like that
their parents should encourage it
as an African i started reading at 10years old because i lived with an uncle who read and at 73 i spend 3 hours or more a day reading feeding
my mind which is so important
people do not realise how far books could take a children they can become writers like Ngozi
Qprah Winifrey is a billionaire because of her love of books early in her life which has shaped her to be where she is
a child who loves books could become a poet, music writers etc articulate, confident so many thing he could do instead of looking for jobs
please parents especially Africans encourage your children to read and write so they do not lose their creativities
feed their minds
No one is saying books should not be read but certain books should not be open for children to read.
But rhat child could still develop well intellectually with the wide variety of books that are not banned. Books about sexual inclinations should be age specific.
They are banning books without knowing what is in there, 😂@@didimarcus277

If LĢBTQ books are left on the American shelves, what positive effect will it have on the American Child or Youth compared to removing It?
I wonder
It will enlighten them, broaden their perspective, help them understand about people who identify in a way that may be different to them. Banning books about LGBT does not eradicate the group from society nor does it mean that their stories don't exist because they're not available to be read on American bookshelves.

Removing and restricting books promoting perversion and sodomy is a wise move.
@:40 Banning the Life of Rosa Parks, what has this country come to.
It's exactly what it always was..a paradise for racist
Proud of her ❤❤❤
Banning books promotes the need to find out reason for which book is banned and there will be the curiousity in a good reader to find out why, hence, ban promotes the sales of book. So USA is helping the sale of the book thats banned. Its a case of no wine ,no pay. And in most cases, people that banns book don't even read it.
We do not mind if our children are involved in every form of depravity or experiment with every form of narcotic, we just don't want them intellectually rounded and able to make sense of the world around them, the world we have created, and then be forced to judge our actions and hypocrisy.
Interesting. She is always real
Love you my sister

In Greece, for example, the public educational system is poor. Therefore, in order to give your child the best education and knowledge, most parent have to supplement the lacks with private tutoring. Around the world, parents will need to compensate these overall failings of public education by stepping in increasingly and making sure their children have access about history, geopolitics, critical thinking, access to novels,to fiction and assuring a child becomes an educated knowledgeable person armed to be able to face the complexities of our world.
