Why is the system so cruel? I'm joined now on the line by Noni Makunya who comes from positive money I'm sure I made a mess of your surname there, Noni. Thank you for joining us as an MP I came across this all the time the cruelty of the benefit system Did I explain the sanctions system fairly there? I think you did John and I feel like you really hit on the fact that the system of sanctions is basically just punishing the most vulnerable in society and making them pay the price for banks trashing the economy and the system itself is like just it's imposed inconsistently and without compassion for people and what's actually brought people there and it seems like it's just like we it's just another system of just punishing people for just trying to get by which is just not okay Now the department for work and pensions but for people who don't know what select committees are they're groups of MPs across the party system so the SNP Labour and Tory people all sitting together and they hold the relevant department to account and they're very useful because they don't try if they're run efficiently and I sat in one of them and it worked really well and it was one of my favourite parts of the job they don't try and score party political points they try to make legislation better and departments work better so what this work and pension select committee has discovered is that often these very draconian sanctions are deployed totally unreasonably they heard from somebody who said that she was sanctioned for going to a funeral there was another story of a woman who arrived she registered when she got to the the benefit office and she arrived for the interview she had her child with her and the child wanted to go to the bathroom and so she went and took the child to the bathroom when she got back from the bathroom they told her that she was going to be sanctioned because she wasn't standing at the desk because she'd had to go for the to take the child to the bathroom I mean this is a monstrous way to treat anybody isn't it and the end effect is that the children then suffer because there's not enough money to buy them food definitely and I think there's a case so the man who went to a funeral and missed his appointment at the job centre he got sanctioned nearly like five from his benefit payment went down from 705 pounds a month to 200 pounds a month and it's like how is anyone supposed to live like that you know and you know you can't pay for your rent you can't pay for transport you can't pay for food and you know people are just being punished for something that they haven't done and also they're the people who need the help the most and like this form of punishment which is just like you know as you said is like just applied inconsistently and without any compassion and sort of understanding of why people may not have been able to attend and it just it seems awful and I would you know I was when I was preparing for this I was thinking about how you know banks basically do like reckless and irresponsible behaviour ruined our economy and they have not been penalised as much as actual people are being penalised now you know now you know let me play devil's advocate for a moment because you know what the department itself said the DWP said that sanctions were only used in a minority of cases and a lot of people would say that you know there's a minority of people who are on benefits who behave in a chaotic and dysfunctional way don't turn up for interviews or hours and hours late and the system can't function if people don't turn up in time and so you know you've got to impose rules and say you have to be there to certain time if you don't turn up in time there are sanctions otherwise the system can't function? I firstly want to point out that I think a system based on punishing people is just never a good system and secondly you know we have people so there's like lots of stories of people you know I actually want to point out that it seems like a majority of people are actually looking towards the sub-flight you know being supported and also the ones who are not claiming benefits are going to pay day loans, are borrowing money, are like caught in the same cyclical system of borrowing more money and it's just like everyone is struggling and at the same time as you know the argument of saying that you know we need to have a stricter system to do this and to make people turn up for appointments we're not really realising that especially as you've mentioned earlier like some of these people are people with kids who are struggling to find childcare and I saw like this the issue here is that we have one rule for banks and one rule for society banks are responsible, irresponsible, are reckless and I just do not care about society I don't see them being punished as much as these people are being punished


So this is we're gonna call what should we call it like the student teacher tag? Yeah. Yeah, I think that sounds right. Okay, so we can't see ourselves, but we're definitely All right, everyone so this is Jessica She is my student teacher this year and my first student teacher ever But we spent a little bit of time together already. So um, but we're gonna dig into the questions So we're just gonna go through the questions. There's like 22 of them And we're gonna try to do it quickly because we are on our prep right now. We don't want to Take too much time. Yeah. Okay. So first question. What are your names and where or what do you teach? I'll let you go first Teach in the East Valley. Yep name Jessica What do you teach? Oh Currently in full takeover for science three days a week like she's mentioned and I'm Charlotte and we yes, we teach in the East Valley and I teach fourth grade science and social studies Okay, so number two when will you graduate and when did I graduate? Okay, so I'm gonna graduate in December of this year 2023 a little bit off by a semester kind of awkward But yeah, I'm excited. I have one more semester After this and I actually graduated in December of 2014 So I'm also a December one, which you know All right, so what school college did you or do you attend? We both went to ASU. Yep ASU. Go Zebbles. I went to NAU for one year So also go Jax. I did like Mesa Community College, Yavapai College Oh, yeah and ASU. Yeah, I did a few years at community college too. It's the way to go to my school to get some credits in. It's cheaper Okay, number four describe your program Like okay, so I think what they want to know is so every program is different How long do you student teach? How many days do you student teach? Like what is your student teaching program like? Right, so this is interesting because I heard rumor on the street Is that they're changing it after this semester and there might be less even less in teaching that I already have So I've already done Two semesters of interning. So that's more just like observations. So I did one semester in Sixth grade and eighth grade with some STEM electives in there And then I did one semester in turning the beginning of this year and in fourth grade And then we like requested that we I stay here for the rest of the year for student teaching So you have two semesters of interning and then two semesters of student teaching Your first semester of student teaching is three full days a week Which isn't what I'm in right now and then next semester is five full days Yes, so Regardless your last semester you're teaching full-time a lot of people try to find Paid positions for that but it's not a guarantee So during your last semester you're basically just teaching you don't really have any more classes So when I student taught it was the whole year the whole last year and it was four days a week the entire time So the one day it was like it whatever like your district's Half day was or their early release was the day you would go to class So they tried to they've tried to partner with districts that all had the same Like day off or like half day so that the student teachers could go as like Wednesday we would go All right, so right now this is question five how many classes are you currently taking versus how many will you take next semester? Yeah, so right now they're all online But there's zoom meetings twice or three times a week So I have my student teaching course that goes with this and then I have three other classes with it and then next semester It'll just be a 12-credit one course that goes with my student teaching. I think it was very similar to mine except the whole year I think actually the whole year we had multiple classes because we would go to class that Wednesday And it would be multiple classes that day All right, so question six do you work a real job in addition to student teaching I do I work Where I work at but I work at like a community center Like an HOA. It might be associated with an HOA Don't get mad at me. I don't make the rules But yeah, and then seasonally I also work out like a farm and we like sell pumpkins and do like Christmas light show Okay question seven how did you meet how did this get set up? I can answer this one So Jessica like she mentioned before she had been interning here with a couple of the other electives teachers in different grade levels and They just asked me and Like I feel like it was like July. Would you like a student intern? I had already had two interns previously So I was like sure that sounds great like they come one or you know once or twice a week and they just hang out and So I said yes, and I think it's because they knew your interest was in STEM science so our print my principal was like, oh, yeah about this would be great for that and then We were able to kind of like click when she came and so when it came time for her to like Venture away and do student teaching. She mentioned she wanted to stay in the area and I was like well Do you want to just stay with me? Like you already kind of know what's going on and so I mean, I think she wanted to say I think You never really said like yes, please That was like before we've created our little bond But yeah, we sent emails and it got set up so that just could stay with me for her student teaching And so this is my first time mentoring like an actual student teacher Which I think it's been it's been really great. Yeah Okay, number eight. What has been the highlight of this process and the biggest challenge you go first I feel like the highlight is like the result of the biggest challenges because like when your student teaching you're really just like Diving into the unknown. Honestly, especially when it's like, okay, do you want to lead this block now?  I can tell what to do all the time But like adults it's a little bit harder So it has been chap was challenging to get you like started But now that you have like it's been so nice to see you like oh, this is you This is who you are like you've come into your comfort zone and blossomed and it's really nice to see What is something you wish you could change about the experience or your program? About my program or your experience about my experience I guess graduating in December is a little bit awkward because If you were to graduate at the end of a in May in May Yes, then you would be in the same classroom student teaching three days a week and then five days a week with them I've just been lucky that I've been able to be in this classroom for the full year But a lot of my peers they switched in January and then they had to do the student teaching with a whole new group Whole new teacher and everything so it just made it unfamiliar But that's kind of it just depends on when you're graduating Other than that I feel like my experience has been really good especially compared to a lot of people I've just been lucky with my placement and everything. So, yeah Only thing I would change is I like wish you guys didn't have to take classes at the same time as your placement like I wish you could be here Monday through Friday and You know maybe like an after-school class or something like that Just so that you can really see the entire process And then I also wish there was a way for them to make it so that you don't start student teaching until the beginning of the school year and then The end you know what I mean like I know like timing is weird and you kind of have to do it that way But like you said a lot of your peers are like they had to start over in a new class in January And then they're going to see a completely different You know thing at the end of the year. It just would be nice if it could be like the whole school year One full swish So you can see how it really happens. Yeah. Yeah, you were definitely lucky with that. Yeah Okay, number 10. What is the biggest thing you have learned from one another? I guess I don't know. Well, obviously I've learned a lot from you Make sure it's still recording watch for sitting here. Okay, we're good. Um Biggest thing like your biggest takeaway If you want to think I can share mine. Yeah, you can share yours. So You have a lot more patience than I do Like and you're so sweet about how you Like react to certain things. I think that I'm just like a salty seasoned teacher at this point. Don't get me wrong like I Definitely try to be like more patient with certain things But like I've noticed you are a lot more patient than I am Like your ability to Like save your frustration for later and then talk about it with that child Whereas I'm very direct and I'll like get it in the moment Typically I'm like a squat down and talk to that person kind of gal, but at this point in the year. I've been a little bit more like Like right up in the business Um, which I don't love and I've been trying to tone it back because you've been inspiring me to do it So my biggest takeaway is like your patience and your ability to respond in a more like calm Manor not that I'm like, you know a banshee or anything in the classroom, but like you're You've inspired me in that way um Yeah, I guess behavior management wise kind of the same thing like your boundaries are very Set and I'm such like a people pleaser like if they say please with like puppy dog eyes I might be like, yeah, I'll make an exception for you But you can't do that no because when you make exceptions then they take advantage of it even if they don't mean to Um, so I've really learned that your boundaries are really firm. I really like like don't stalk me rule Even though I'm not the best at keeping up with that. You'll get better.  This is where the fun ones come in So what is the others go to lunch?   I do like sweet potatoes a lot and like chicken and Do you have vegetable usually have like some baby carrots? Yeah Um, very seldom do I see Jessica with like snack food like me. I'm snacking all day I'm surprised you don't when I get home. Do you okay? It's a snack attack All right. What is the others go to beverage? You're switched up a little bit Oh, yeah switched up a bit. Yes. So after winter break Or no spring break after spring break when you went to Nashville You were like, I'm not drinking coffee anymore. Which is okay Whatever, but you were like drinking like mint tea. Yeah Mint tea and then you tried the chai. It wasn't brewing. I don't know. It was a whole issue But we try to drink a lot of water. We drink our energy drinks. Everyone's so Our alani news. We love them I haven't seen you with it in the last couple of weeks You switched back to coffee But I have I do have a cup. I'll drink both I'll drink a coffee in the morning and then I'll I'll just give you my answer That's all right. I was gonna say it anyway Yeah, you drink coffee and alani new and I learned that her favorite drink is raspberry green tea Oh, yeah raspberry raspberry sweet tea from texas rothouse Have you ever tried um the raspberry green tea from dutch? Yes I love it. Do you have like a raspberry coconut one or something? Ooh, I'm gonna try that coconut one But yeah hers is coffee water Alani new and that's usually I don't feel anything I see. I've seen you drink two alanis though in one day Oh, yeah, that that was a rough day for you, huh? I was like, I'm just like that night I think it was when it was conferences and we were here until like 7 p.m Oh, and I was like I'm cracking open another one cracking another one Luckily you could sleep with that though. Not me.  I'm just like if you guys but then you figure it out and you're like, okay Now I'm gonna get their attention and then it's fine There's probably other things that peeve you more, but you don't show it. No, that's pretty accurate Yeah, I'm like, okay if you guys didn't listen then you're on your own I'm like, I don't feel bad. That's what I say. I'm like, I don't feel bad if you mess it up Um, you're better Time wasting I would probably say When they're just like in la la land and then they had the whole warm up time to like sharpen their pencil or whatever And then it's after and they're like I don't know.  And sharpening it. Yes. Yep Okay, name the others most used phrase I have here is ready Look at me That's your favorite. I do I take your eyeballs.  Yeah, that's your most used phrase I guess I do say that a lot, but there's nothing wrong with it. It's just your favorite Yeah, that's mine I don't know I feel like I say, let's go ahead a lot Yes, let's go ahead and yeah, that's true You can't control others due to you I do say that a lot. You can control how you can react to the situation Um, okay, this one's for you. How do you balance work school and life? I don't Um, you keep like an agenda and write everything down or I love google calendar I have it all color coded and then I also have a whiteboard Um calendar right next to my desk that I also have color coded and then I have my planner that also has It's like all in three different places. So I always know where I need to be Um, and then I always am changing my work availability, but like you just have to find what works for you Yeah, um, and then I'm always making to-do lists. Like I don't know. I feel like the typical stuff lists calendars or And just yeah, you have to prioritize like when you feel burnt out You have to just go like pause for a second and get a little treat or whatever So I'll do that thing where I'll work for like 50 minutes like take a five minute break or whatever Like last night. I was like, I'm stressed and then I went and got ice cream.  We call it retail therapy. That would be like food therapy. Yes, I think it works. That's true Um, the next one is mentor. How do you balance work and mentorship? So I feel like Because this is my first time really like mentoring a resident So I've tried and you can correct me if I haven't done a good job at this, but I've tried to be very like in the moment Cognitive thoughts like expressing them to you Like at the beginning I would say things like so the reason I did this or I said this is because And I feel like it's important to communicate like your purpose and my purpose in this partnership So that they understand that when I stop to tell you something it's for a reason And I feel like they've done a good job of like Like they just listen. They don't really like say anything but I think being Like after school we have a lot of time to like Decompress and like reflect on how things go And I feel like if you use your time wisely like your scheduled breaks your lunchtime your prep Basically any free time you get to like reflect on how either I modeled something or on how you Delivered it like that's an easy way to balance Your like I guess just speak out loud as the mentor like speak out loud Of speak your thought process kind of like when you're teaching students how to do math like I'm thinking about this Like make sure you speak out loud and don't keep things in because Your intern or your resident is not gonna know Because if you're not saying it you're just thinking it they're never gonna know and in order for you to coach them appropriately you should be like Always talking about your thoughts out loud. That way they can really pick up on like, okay That's why she did that or this is what she was thinking when she did that and I even admit my mistakes too like I When I make a mistake with management or if it's an instruction I make sure to tell you like I shouldn't have done that or like maybe I could do this better next time So I think just being very open with your thought process is very important. Yeah I'm gonna do like a So we had to come back and finish filming this way later. I think it's been like chewy Yeah, since last time we sat down to film this but we're gonna finish it Okay, we think we stopped on question 16 So 17 is what is your dream position? That's one because I'm already doing mine My dream position don't know because I don't have a lot to compare it to But I guess fourth grade science and social studies Landed that though. Don't worry about it. Yep. She did. We'll have to explain at the end. But yeah Um, what is the easiest or hardest part of student teaching or mentoring I can go first so you can think about um, the hardest part which it hasn't been hard because of Like jessica's abilities, but when you have a student teacher you have to give up your power um, not only of managing the classroom like I Sometimes I feel like I intervene a lot but it's Like sometimes it's necessary But like giving up the power not only of the control of the room But also like giving someone else the reins of being responsible for teaching your children what they're supposed to be taught Now luckily i'm in a very unique position because jessica is interested in science She goes above and beyond to make sure she learns the content before she teaches it um, and so I trust her with The information she's providing my students now there have been like friends of mine who have had student teachers that have not been that way It's like they're having to like spend time teaching them how to teach something rather than just Them saying okay. This is what i'm gonna do this day. Here's my lesson plan. Here's what we're gonna do And then okay go ahead and do it like I feel like you're very Like you have it together you have the content knowledge you have The consistent behavior management like I don't really have to worry about giving you The power in the room because you're able to maintain it and you're able to deliver what needs to be delivered yeah, I guess something similar like the hardest part is Like the the power balance especially because the kids at first are used to only your word counts and so you really have to like Demand the room and like make sure that they take you seriously and be really consistent So that's really hard to pick up especially when you're like new you want them to like you you don't want to be like me Um, because then they don't respect you so it's a balance and then the easiest part Um, I don't know probably For me, I guess like The easiest part is probably Making connections with the kids. I guess just like walking around the room and like They're just happened to be open and like sharing stuff with you And so it's just easy to like reciprocate that energy with them Yeah Yeah, and this has been a good opportunity for you to see how valuable it is for them to be able to have that time in the morning with you because I feel like And correct me if i'm wrong, but like our home room Is like one of the only home rooms that Doesn't have drama within. Yeah, like pretty much all of our home room students get along with each other It's kind of like a little family like some of them bicker But even when like one of them says like clap twice if you don't like so and so Like so and so is not mad about it. It's just like a joke and everyone gets that And so I think that like you've had an opportunity to see how socialization can really affect a home rooms morale and not only that but like produce a special bond between you and them Yeah, like we have very special bonds with our home room. I mean we have bonds with all of them, but um Taking that time to to build that relationship is really really important. Yeah, the dynamics are very different Stay in touch after this year. I hope so. Yes I think so I think so I hope so. Yeah me too. Um, is there anything that says like did you get a job or something? number 22 Well, so Jessica, why don't you tell them because it's kind of it kind of goes along with this Yeah No, it's actually kind of a weird how weird how it happened. It was kind of like my fairy godmother came down One of the instructional coaches. We were doing standardized testing Very godmother and she came in and she was like we need a home monitor And so I was actually selected to watch the restrooms. I was just so blessed with that Job yeah, I'm told to watch the restrooms during state testing And then she just started talking about this open fourth grade science and social studies position And then all of a sudden people were like texting behind the scenes Like she was like texting like the dean of students and then like I got the interview set up and then all of a sudden Now I have a job at fourth grade science and social studies at a different school. Yeah same district Um, so yeah, it's exciting. But yeah, so we will keep in touch because Yes, we're still gonna be sharing a lot of things and if jessica needs me or like needs any input or like needs supplies or whatever I'll be here. I'll be there for you So yeah, I hope we stay in touch.  It's like one of my favorite. It was the sports mode I think I did it without my hands too. I like kicked them into sports mode I don't remember but okay yours definitely beats mine.  I mean I say things like that like I'm very honest with them and so You'll go up and be like you guys are being really annoying right now Like she'll look right at the two people and be like you guys are really being annoying right now And I just laugh every single time yours definitely beat mine for sure But don't worry. You'll have your moment to dance in your robe Or if the kids get you in your t-rex costume, that's gonna happen before the end of the year All right, this one's for me And it's kind of a random last question but it's fine mentor. How do you provide feedback to your resident? um, I try to do this like Not in the moment like when you're teaching I try not to do this I think sometimes I interject But it's not like to correct you it's like to add on to what you're saying. Um, which is team teaching But in between each class if there's something I feel like she needs to add or change or fix I always try to say it and then she typically fixes it between that first and second block and then by the third one She has it. So, um I used to every time you would teach I would take notes Um, and then I would just give them to her and then she would write things down in her notebook Um, and that was really good But then it got to a place where my notes were just consistent And they were mostly positive feedback So I didn't feel like I needed to keep them anymore And then it just turned into like more instructional like like content level stuff Like today when I had you add like Or we talked about how electrical energy can be transformed into a different kind That's something you may not have thought of before or you're like, you know, it was coming but Like if it went that direction that it's okay to go there. Um, so yeah, do you have anything else you want to add To that Oh, you'll ask me You'll kind of like especially when I'm in full takeover for science You'll ask me a lot like You were like, do you want to still do the flashlight lab tomorrow because they were like so crazy today? Yeah, telling me to kind of take it away from them and I'll be like, I don't know They were kind of fixed it or whatever and then you'll say you're nicer than me Which means you probably shouldn't do it And they didn't earn it. So I was kind of like Do what you want to do but like Yeah, like think about if they earned it or not I always like want you to have that choice and like I also want you to learn from your own failures and mistakes too You know, like, oh shoot that didn't work like or oh man, I shouldn't let them do that Or oh man, like you totally changed your game like every single time today But it's because you learned from What And that's what teaching is like a lot of what I do is like on the fly It's made up in the moment and that's okay. That's your creative juices flowing That's why it's the art of teaching because things can be made up on the fly and if it works, it works And if it doesn't, oh, yeah but Yeah, so That is our Self made with the help of you guys Student teacher mentor tag So if you want to join us in on this tag, make sure you tag us in the description or not in the description Tag us down in the comments so we can see your video Because I'm sure Jessica would like to see those not only that but some of her classmates might need to see it because Yeah, maybe they're mentors. I don't know but I hope you guys enjoyed this video and we'll see you in the next one Bye guys


Thank you, well this is one of the warmer crowds I've been in front of in a long time And actually that's gonna cause me to relax and then I'm gonna be even more provocative than I usually am But Jody stole my cylinder there a little bit I usually start by pointing your attention to the fact that I'm white and Asking you to actually look at me and think about it for just a minute And part of what it means to be white is that goes against all my conditioning and all my socialization Because I was taught that I really didn't have a race. I was just the universal human race is what they had And certainly I was taught not to be drawing people's attention to it So how did I come to be standing in front of groups of people saying look at me? I'm white and that has meaning Well for me it started when I got a job as a diversity trainer in the early 90s And I was going to go into the workplace in interracial teams and lead discussions on race and racism And when I applied for that job, I sincerely thought that my qualifications were that I shopped at PCC I'm a vegetarian. I went to evergreen And I drive a Prius Okay, so we didn't actually have Priuses in the 90s, but I hope you get my point I really thought that what this was about was open-mindedness and that since I was clearly open-minded I was good to go and I was qualified and it was just about getting other people to be open-minded And I was in for the most profound learning of my entire life on every level and One is to realize in no way was I qualified to be leading conversations on arguably the most Emotionally and politically charged issue since the founding of our country, right and this is also part of what it means to be white is That I could get to that point in my life with no really good information and understanding of racism and still see myself as Kind of done with my learning and able to lead other people And I'm sure some of you have seen that dynamic in other white folks so I Spent a good five years for a living going into primarily white workplaces and trying to have these conversations and Aside from not really being qualified to do it. I also was unprepared for the depth of hostility Incredible hostility in primarily all white spaces employed White people who were just really angry about about having the conversation at all And so over the years I just got better and better at figuring out What it means to be white in a society that Professes that it means nothing and yet is profoundly separate and unequal by race, right? And so I wanted to kind of apply that experience To impact people on a larger level and I went on I got my PhD in whiteness studies anybody ever hear of whiteness studies That's not kind of weird For decades if not millennium when white people Studied race we studied them You know, what's with them? Why do they have their problems, etc? And for just as long people of color looked at us and said why don't you look at yourselves? You are our problem and eventually early 80s 90s white academics took up that call and began to put the lens on us right and the Relationship between us and that that field is called whiteness studies So When when I started people literally would be pounding their fists on the table and and all of this It doesn't look like that anymore for me So I want to I want to talk about what new racism looks like right? How is it that individually most white people feel like they are exempt from any any racist conditioning? And yet we have so much racial inequity right prior to the civil rights movement It was pretty socially acceptable for white people to just come out and say that yeah, we're superior That's no longer as acceptable in public spheres. Although if you listen to political debates, I'm starting to question that But it looks like this so what I I just Left a position as a professor of education. So I'm I was in a college of education That was 98% white so 98% White school producing our future teachers. We were located 10 miles from a city. That was 57% black and Latino Springfield mass and I Would at the first day of class have my students Take out a piece of paper And write an anonymous essay based on a couple key questions But before I mentioned that I would just say hi I'm your professor and then immediately have them take the paper out And the reason is I was trying to minimize my influence on them Right beyond the reality of my body So I want to take a moment just to say that the way you hear me today Will be influenced by the fact that I'm in this body whether you're aware of it or not Overall white people can hear this message From me much better than they can from people of color and I want to acknowledge that the vast Majority of what I have come to understand about how racism works has come from people of color who've been saying what I'm saying for decades But can't be heard and so that's what I call the master's tools dilemma Audrey Lord was a poet African-American poet and Activist educator and she had this phrase the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house And what she meant is how do you challenge a system using the tools within the system? So that's a dilemma for me too as I stand up here as the authority in to a degree right on whiteness I am necessarily reinforcing the centrality of the white voice and the white perspective And trust me I go home at night and toss and turn over that dilemma at the same time because I can be heard I'm going to use my voice and when I feel like giving up I say Perfect you'll really be white then don't talk about race and That will perfectly protect your position So I just want to acknowledge that kind of both and nature of this work that Simultaneously, we're reinforcing racism as we seek to challenge it Okay, and I also want to acknowledge all those incredibly patient and brilliant mentors of color that didn't give up on me So that I am kind of at the place that I am today. So what are my students essays look like I say I? Asked them three questions. How racially diverse were your neighborhoods and schools? what messages have you gotten across your lifespan about race and What are some of the ways your race has shaped your life, right? So keep in mind 98% white classes I rarely actually ever had a student of color and were 10 miles from a city That's 57% black and Latino and what I'm going to show you is representative of the hundreds of These essays in breadth in depth My neighborhood growing up was not racially diverse at all every family in my neighborhood was also Caucasian Throughout by time in school. I've been continually taught that skin does not matter Right these are juniors and seniors in college who are going forth to be teachers And this is the extent of what they can be bothered to write About the most profound profound and perennial.  It may be a little more bald But it is the way we do race today, right? And I see a major contradiction in these three sentences. Do you guys see that contradiction? How how can we be taught that race has no meaning in segregation? Right, I think that's that's the contradiction and yet I've never met anyone without an opinion on race and racism. Have you? If you're not sure bring it up at your next family dinner and They go beyond want the first round of meaningless platitudes go to the next round ask just one more forward question And watch what happens? And if you're hesitant to do that because you don't want to ruin the dinner that should tell you We've got a lot of feelings about this thing that has no meaning, right? and so I'm gonna say Maybe my first provocative thing if you are white, of course you have an opinion on race and I don't know you And I don't know your life experience. I don't know who you're is in your life. I don't know where you've traveled I don't know what you've read, right? And I can assume that you've gained your opinions from all of those things across your life span and Yet if you have not devoted sustained ongoing Continual education and practice on this topic your opinions are necessarily superficial and uninformed Just gonna say it How can I say that not knowing you? Because nothing in dominant society gives us the information we need to have a complex and nuanced Understanding of this topic coupled with our investment in it Okay, so please hold your opinions lightly and with humility And just let me stretch you no matter where you are. I can I can get you in another place a little bit, okay? Now people of color You might be thinking okay, so it's just white person focused on white people Which is what I'm doing. How can this be valuable for people of color? Well, I'm gonna admit to things that white people rarely if ever will name and admit To so that can help with the crazy making And you got to navigate this water too, right? You got to deal with us because we are the gatekeepers You look like a really diverse student body, but I'm confident your faculty administration isn't right?  You got to navigate us. So this could be useful to figure out what is going on with those people And Because nothing in society gives anybody good information now You have to kind of know my reality as well as your own But still there's so much denial and so much like no if you have a problem around this This is your problem. So this can be really useful for students of color, too. All right Where are we? So we have to start with some shared definitions because these words prejudice discrimination and racism get used interchangeably in our society and right there where we're talking at cross ends, right?  We get it across our lifespan, right? Everybody has prejudice about other groups of people to which they don't belong, right? It is not humanly possible not to have prejudice Human objectivity does not exist. I don't care what your science professors might tell you There is no human objectivity You can only make sense of the world through the cultural framework You were conditioned to make sense of it through okay, and then discrimination is when we act on Our prejudice and we all do it, right? I was taught that prejudice was Hatred and discrimination was violence and slurs and things like that Which is why I didn't relate to it, but it can be much more subtle than that, but it always manifests Because the way you see the world drives the way you respond to the world and it can be just lack of interest Comfort with segregation, right? There are many subtle ways and I would just direct your attention to implicit bias I'm really grateful that we now understand that most bias is actually not conscious But there's no way we could miss absorbing these messages Because we we all kind of navigate the same water. A great example is next time you go into Target or Walmart Go through the toy aisles and tell me if there aren't any collectively sent gender messages out there, right? We're all you know I can tell my daughter all kinds of things, but the collective socialization is very very powerful We're all getting it Okay, but then when we get to oppression We take a group's collective prejudice and we back it by Legal authority and institutional control and that transforms it and it moves it beyond individual actors and Into a system that is embedded in the fabric of a society because this group is built a society So there are prejudice is built into the fabric, right? So it gets embedded in all institutions and also cultural definitions of what's real What's beautiful? What's valuable? What's normal? Whose story is testified to whose story is not whose norms are others measured through? And of course, we'll always fall short Okay, so I want to give you two illustrations. This is like foundational if we can't grasp the difference between personal prejudice and discrimination and Systems of oppression. We're not going to understand how racism is able to flourish today Despite individual people believing that they're against it. Okay, so I want to start with women's suffrage So when did women get the right to vote in the US? Does anybody know? 1920 okay, who gave it to us? You can say it. I didn't just say that's right. All right Was there any other way outside of a violent and bloody revolution, which I'm not publicly advocating Was there any other way for women to get the right to vote except for men to give it to us? No, why not? Because we literally were not seated in the seats of institutional power. We couldn't grant ourselves the right to vote That's the difference Right a woman Could be prejudiced towards a man discriminated against a man. I like to say a woman can make a man's life miserable I've been accused of this at least twice in my life in 2016 But women as a group couldn't oppress men or deny them the right to vote Okay, and if we don't acknowledge that difference, we just take power off the table It's not all the same right a woman's prejudiced against a man at that time. It's not the same And keep in mind that it wasn't just the house in the Senate that you know Denied women the right to vote and then that it was up to every institution work together right so the And every male-dominated institution so the clergy Literally preached from the pulpit that it was God's will that women not vote and by the way, that's a that's a real hard God's will is a hard one to challenge right Psychiatrists male-dominated psychiatrist wrote the studies that said women are inherently irrational The medical doctors wrote the studies that said if women use their brains The blood will leave the uterus go upward and the babies won't come out as well This is literally in the books And ultimately the military if the women if women rose up in the street the military would could come and quash that Do you see that difference? That's really really key. So we're talking about oppression. We're talking about institutional power and oppression comes in different forms Right, it's always about kind of two groups that are that are set up in a binary of either or and then one Controls the power so that one was one from patriarchy and by the way today if men as a group want to take away our right to vote Could they this is another way that oppression works, right? It's so normalized and taken for granted that it's really hard to see so 80 80 to 83 percent house and Senate is male. The the presidency has always been 100 percent male this executive the Economic Fortune 500 CEOs are 98 percent male. I could go on They could if they wanted to which is another example of how oppression works, right? It's deeply historic embedded take it for granted It's not fluid and it doesn't change over time patriarchy didn't end in 1920 and if Hillary gets the presidency I'm confident patriarchy will not end on that day. Okay. All right, so that's from sexism. Let's look at one this from From racism so Jackie Robinson. What do we know what in a nutshell? Who's Jackie Robinson? So he is the first african-american To play major league baseball Jackie Robinson broke the color line, right? You've all heard that narrative, right? And you always need to listen to the story being told who tells it and who it serves So when we when we put this as Jackie Robinson is our hero. He did it. He did it He broke the color line It's this it reinforces this idea of an exceptional actor who finally had what it took, right? And I get this image of like a ticker tape, right? And he's running and he's running and he finally busts through it. Yeah, right now What if the story went like this? Jackie Robinson first african-american that whites allowed to play baseball That is actually the story Jackie Robinson could not play major league baseball if we didn't allow it Right walk out on the field Police are going to come and take you off, right? We wrote the policies that denied him. We changed the policies that granted him access That's the difference and he might have some attitude towards white people. Huh, I'm pretty sure he did and does But that he doesn't his group doesn't hold institutional power. Okay, so this came out I Apparently August 26 was the anniversary of suffrage. I guess it was August 26 in 1920 And you know how Facebook will put out these like happy 4th of July happy this happy that They sent this out and then somebody did this and It came out a little bit when I asked you who gave us the right to vote So which women got the right to vote in 1920, right? And that's that's also how oppression works the dominant groups experience stands in as Everyone's experience, right? There's some universal Woman's experience which I would say no there is not right so while we were oppressed as women We were elevated as white women. We do this on the 4th of July. We take all this for granted What are we celebrating on the 4th of July? freedom When what's the date attached to the 4th of July 1776? Yeah, what was going on then? Right, but this is you know, the whole country is just celebrating right again always whose story right Okay, so racism is a form of oppression it is it is a system operating on multiple levels and it works to ensure an unequal distribution between Of everything between white people as a group and people of color as a group With whites the beneficiaries of that system. Okay, it has nothing to do. Well, it's connected to but it is not Dependent on individual actors It is going to reproduce itself because the system is set up to do that So I'm going to show that to you Marilyn Fry is a scholar that has a metaphor of the of a bird cage that oppression is like a bird cage If you walk right up to that cage and put your face right against that You're going to get an unobstructed view of the bird right because you've got a very micro or myopic view That's putting your eye in a hole in a fence, right?  Why doesn't the bird just fly away? Why don't they just do x y and z and then they won't have their problems, right? But if you step back you begin to see these bars and then these bars and then these bars When you take a macro view you begin to see this interlocking network That while won't make it impossible for that bird to fly away We'll make it very unlikely and we can predict that it won't that it certainly will have many many more barriers So what are some of those our? institutions our ideology isolation Rewards for conformity our culture internalized oppression microaggressions the constant threat of violence our history the burden of representation invisibility and Unacknowledged historical trauma those are just a few and anyone who's one of the few people of color in an organization understands the burden of representation Isolation the pressure if you keep white folks comfortable around race you'll get further All all of this weight that I do not hold carrier or have to navigate Trying to challenge this dominant idea that Oppression is just a racism is just whether or not I tell racist jokes and I don't tell them so therefore Okay, well, this is my metaphor Because as I listened to as I listened to white folks day in and day out Respond in conversations about race. I got this image of a peer or a doc because for me that signifies how superficial and Surface these narratives are so let's see if you recognize any of these I Was taught to treat everyone the same Anybody ever hear that one? Okay? No, you weren't I'm gonna say it again. No, you weren't You may have been told that you cannot teach human beings to treat everyone the same We don't treat everyone the same and We certainly do not want to in this particular society because we need to understand. What does that person need based on? this backdrop I See people as individuals. I don't care if you're pink purple yellow or polka dotted anybody ever hear that one Okay, if that's in your vocabulary, please drop it and never use it again, okay?  Let's talk about it. Okay What else do we have? Racisms in the past mace doesn't have any meaning everyone struggles Okay, my parents weren't racist. That's why I'm not racist or my parents were racist That's why I'm not racist. It doesn't really matter what comes in front. What comes behind must always be I'm not racist So-and-so just happened to be black It has nothing to do with anything although I do need to let you know that and now I'm gonna tell you about a conflict We had an insist that race had nothing to do with it. I'd actually Also drop that for my vocabulary. I would drop regardless of race or Just happened to be while I might not know exactly what race had to do with that conflict Or interchange It had something to do with it because there's no way you can take that out any more than you can take gender and how it's Operating cross cross relationships Okay, now oh I got to do this one. I was in the military I have actually gone back and forth with white people who insist that the reason they're not racist is because they were in the military and Well, I might give them All right, you're all wearing green. That's usually what they say. We're all wearing green. It's like I'll give you that But first of all who got who gets recruited into the military. What kind of strategies to are used? I would also say Who are you killing and how are you being trained to kill them, right? All right, now if we're sophisticated We might not say those things, but I'll get us to So what do we say we say stuff like I work in a very diverse environment I Have people of color in my family. Okay, so I'm gonna ask you have any of you This one's popular in Seattle I live in the most diverse zip code in the United States nine eight one one eight Which is by the way, it's Columbia City and it's no longer the most diverse of code in Seattle But let's start with those first two How many of you in a conversation with a white person about racism have heard some version of I know people of color I have people called in my family. Okay, right, so When when a white person tells you that they're giving you evidence, right? They're they're giving you their evidence for what in their mind What are they giving you their evidence of? That they're not racist, right? So if that is my evidence How do I define racism? So this is actually really this has been really useful for me to kind of go under the surface and think okay So then and then if I could figure out how they're defining racism then I can speak to it Okay, so I would say they're defining racism as conscious dislike a Racist doesn't like people of color therefore they I guess couldn't work three cubicles down from somebody Or if they have a person of color in their family and clearly they think they have love for this person They also couldn't possibly be racist, so they're defining it as conscious dislike Right, and they're not understanding the power of implicit bias if we really I've ever had somebody say I used to live in New York And that's why I'm not racist. I've actually heard all of these things, right?  Therefore I couldn't possibly let me let me ask you how many of you are in an cis gender Do you know what I mean when I say cis gender? Okay, if you don't I'll let your professors help you with that Not transgender, okay, so you're in an opposite sex relationship.  All right So for the women in the room you so you would you were the man, right? You got a man in your life And the moment he fell in love with you all his sexism disappeared, right? No, how could he have any sexism? He loves you There's no gender dynamics in the relationship, okay, so we see the ludicrousness of that But we think that racism disappears. There's no racial dynamics between people if they're in an intimate relationship All right I used to live in New York My children are so much open the problem with this one is we like to romanticize children But by age three or four all children know the racial order. This is well researched. They know the racial order What's the racial order? It's better to be white They know that and you get out if you are a parent of color You got to work very hard to instill Worth and pride in them in the face of that relentless message We don't like how white our neighborhood is but we had to move here for the schools This is actually I think another really disingenuous. I think white people do like how white their neighborhoods are Okay So we have to go under the surface and figure out what is propping this up if we want to address it and I think Let's look at these questions How racially diverse was your neighborhood growing up and what messages did you get about race from your neighborhoods? The overall pattern across the United States is that if you are white you most likely grew up in a white neighborhood I'm going to put it this way. You probably grew up in segregation If you are whiting you did not grow up in racial segregation You're probably urban and poor or working class And you probably don't still live in those neighborhoods because upward mobility takes us away And we don't tend to maintain those relationships. Okay, so the so the vast majority of white people grow up in segregation and All just because of time I will let you think about what messages are we getting about race in Segregation right we can say everybody's equal, but the practice of our lives is phenomenally more powerful than whatever we say right Here's another question When's the first time you had a teacher of the same race or races if you're multi-racial as you and how often did that happen and When's the first time you had a teacher of a different race and How often did that happen and the vast majority pattern across the US is if that you're white From the time you began and you can get through graduate school without having a teacher of color So put another way if you're white from the time you begin you are Relentlessly reflected in your teachers and then of course your textbooks and everything else if you are a person of color and you're With a rare exception for blacks and say Atlanta and certain parts of DC Then the answer to this question is rarely if ever did I look up and see myself reflected in that in that person now the teaching force is Upwards of 93% white it is getting whiter not less white and those Teachers answer these questions in the same way grow up in segregation rarely if ever have a teacher of color So where do we get our information then? About people of color Well, really problematic sources, right? Media TV jokes admissions warnings, right? Where do I get my peak? I watch MSNBC lockdown. I watch cops. I watch Jerry Springer, right?  And we have the school to prison pipeline which again, it's not about individual teachers intentions It's about our very deep socialization That we cannot admit to and that comes out in in our assessments So I'm going to show you My image I like to use images for This dynamic of the teaching force. So this is the college jeopardy champion playoffs These are our best in our brightest Certified as highly educated by our universities And this is the board at the end of their grand champion round And as we can see there's a category not one of them touched. So it was probably the hardest I would assume and they didn't want to lose and for me it would be astrophysics or Chemistry or something. All right. Well, let's just see and I I don't know that I can Express What this means in terms of the ability for white supremacy to continue when I say white supremacy I mean whites is central and superior if you disconnect us from our history and we do not know our history We cannot challenge racism. This is a a crisis Our schools are getting more segregated our teaching force is getting wider, okay All right, so Joe Fegan is a sociologist that has this concept of the white racial frame You can think of it as those pillars. It's it's the framework through which whites make racial meaning and that It functions to position whites as superior and it's passed down and reinforced across the society So I'm going to start showing you some images. I think that's a great example of the white racial frame Right ideal beauty for the world, right? You don't have to read Vogue magazine for this to affect you It's affects all of us anyone who tells me that advertising doesn't affect them is telling me they don't understand socialization Not to mention the multi-billion dollar advertising industry Here's an ad I got on a Delta Airlines flight last year And I my initial response to it was oh my god.  Okay, so right there You've got your racial hierarchy, but look at that. Look at the ad is for a purse So look at the three sets of women's hands The black women don't even have the purse right just this kind of Just again in just an instant, right? We're absorbing This one maximize the Performance of your employees the sixth shirtless black men nailed at the foot of this white man and look at the body language Right, we're absorbing this nothing. I'm showing you stands alone We can read it precisely because it connects to the millions of other images that circulate around us You know when you're reading a CNN or Huffington Post or something and there's these constant flashes to you know Go to this story. Go to this story, right? And I saw one that said the most beautiful women in the world, right? So, okay, I got to check this out representing South Africa By the way, which is ninety two percent black South Africa is eight percent white That that to me is white supremacy There was not one Asian woman Asian women are the majority of women in the world and in this most beautiful women in the world No, Asian women. So I think the most powerful adaptation of racism over time is this good bad binary You make racism so bad that white people cannot tolerate Looking at it in themselves, and it's the root of virtually all defensiveness You've ever gotten from a white person trying to talk about racism.  So keep noticing how powerful this is in the dominant narrative about What it means to be complicit with this system and how Fantastically it functions to make it hard to talk about okay So I'm going to use the example of my life to talk about How what it means to be white? So the first thing is that I was born into a society in which I belong Okay, I belong at that faculty meeting. I belong at that church service I belong at that block party dealing with my daughter's teachers her camp counselors that wedding Right day in and day out and I do not ever take for granted the power of belonging It's in my bones. It's in my muscles Right any space deem neutral or normal I belong as a white person. It's a it's a fantastic Psychic freedom and nothing I'm about to say can be said by a person of color in this society Hey represented in the government. So let's look at that All right I don't know that there's a more powerful image than God Right, and here's what I I saw as a child looking up. There's God creating man There's Jesus who by the way was a man of color And Moses and Mary Whites are the norm for humanity. I was thinking trying to think I had a how to represent this So you all seen those things? Okay, here's a close-up even with their skin off their white Here's Adam and Eve the first human beings Constant messages that it's better to be white. I'm just gonna say this again. Nobody misses the message. It's better to be white I don't on a on a conscious level believe or want that message. It comes at me 24 7 Right. So here's best hair. We have Halle Berry here, but of course her hair is straightened This little girl has been been dubbed the most beautiful girl in the world I have a problem with that on many levels, but in terms of white supremacy This is on a science website right now. What would a scientifically perfect face look like? Contrasted with what I'm gonna show you next which ran in psychology today in 2011 this this Comes through in in dating practices in pornography in in everybody is affected by these messages, right? I was racially affirmed throughout my childhood And I'm gonna use images from today's childhood. I'm wanting you I want you to get the water Okay, this this has been exported worldwide. I've seen so many little girls of color with these backpacks Just again that relentless image of whiteness as ideal. This is Aella Jackson.  These are who write our stories These are who shape all of our understandings and their depiction of the other, right? Let's just leave it at this photo, okay? I have a whole chapter on this movie if you are white and you love a movie about race that should be a red flag Is it probably reinforced a really cherished narrative? Which is usually there's good whites and there's bad whites and we're the good whites and I would get get rid of that That's rooted in the good bad. This reminded me an awful lot of that and of course these are the images You know here here's his community and Then here is you know He was saved by his white family Can you even see the brown girls in this? There's one on each end as usually that's what you get you're gonna get one on each end or one to the to the side When you do get Latina here in this one Latina devious maids Let's just do Lord of the Rings. I'm gonna go fast. Okay 100% every creature and Lord of the Rings is white They're literally trying to get to the white city They're trying to escape the dark Lord of Mordor. Here's our hero and then these are the monsters It's relentless Okay, I'm going to end this piece by looking at these TV shows that many of us grew up with they span the decades We've got Seinfeld in the 80s sex in the city 90s friends in the 2000s We've exported these worldwide Every one of these shows is about ideal friendship and every one of these shows takes place in New York City Arguably the most racially diverse city in the US the message over and over These two proud people made an app that's been very successful. It's called the sketch factor When you go to a new city the app will tell you what neighborhoods to avoid And I bet you had to be a lot of the neighborhoods that you all come from right so I'm gonna end by saying the most powerful way my Life has been shaped by my race or what it means to be white is that I could be born into I could learn I Could play I could worship I could study I could love I could work and I could die in segregation and Not one person who's ever loved me or guided me has ever conveyed loss and The message of segregation at the good schools and good neighborhoods We love so much is that there is no inherent value in the perspectives and experiences of people of color And then you get to this point in life and now I'm a professor I'm gonna have a hard time even noticing they're missing much less being able to take in their value This is how white supremacy is circulating And so under the surface we have the good bad binary individualism Universalism internalized superiority and investment in the racial order and segregation these are the linchpins of white supremacy or racism today that allows us to live so unequal by race and Confess that it has no impact or meaning for us So I'm going to end with just putting these up here And I'm gonna I feel the need to say it should be clear that I am a pretty empowered person Right. I'm not coming across to you as a guilt-ridden person. This is not about Being bad, but it's about waking up and Seeing the water because I think the most toxic and hostile condition for people of color Every day is unexamined whiteness. This socialization comes out of my pores and Keep noticing. This is my socialization, but I'm objective. You play the race card. I Get to decide whether your claims of racism are legitimate or not from this background From this deep investment in a system that serves me, but never being able to admit that to myself Right. This is the level that we have to start to change those pillars And within ourselves and in our relationships if we're gonna move forward. So I thank you very much for your attention


Nah, just kidding. Y'all niggas know I don't go to church.  That's besides the point. I'd be driving and wondering which failure of a mother decided to raise these bad boons. Just in case any of them are watching. Nigga? Okay, well, I'm driving on the left lane on the highway. I expect you to at least be going five miles per hour over the speed limit.  You know, I expect you to at least be going the actual speed limit. Why are you driving minus seven under the speed limit? Go to the right lane. You know what? I forgive that. I would as long as you're driving faster than the nigga in the right lane, so I can at least pass you. Sometimes cars will do this thing where they're going exactly or almost exactly the same speed of the person to lay next to them. And I end up getting blocked in like there's a Snorlax in front of me. I wish we had tools or items like they got Mario Kart.  Blue shell that nigga. I want to see his car go down in flames. Hiroshima that nigga. And people think it's only elderly people. No, okay.  Where's your testosterone at nigga? Woman got testosterone too. Okay. Don't think I'm only talking to the guys, ladies. Where's your testosterone at? Huh?  Here's some tips I can give y'all for driving. This right here. This right here. This yellow light. That does not mean slow down. Okay. What it actually means is speed up nigga. Speed up because I'm behind you and we can both make it if you accelerate even just three miles per hour faster. But no, niggas want to stop. That's what the red light is for. You know what? I'm happy. I'm happy you slow down.  But you missed her. You missed her by 20 seconds nigga. The 20 seconds you could have had if you just stepped on the gas. She would have changed your life too late now. Good luck reproducing in a subpar relationship. Cheating. Divorce. I put all those curses on you.  This right here. Okay. This right here. I think it's called a yield sign. No idea because I don't ever pay attention to them bitches. All right. These are just a suggestion. Yes. They're just a suggestion. It's not telling you to yield. It's actually asking you yield.  They honestly need to just take them down and like replace them with a traffic light that's always green because that's essentially what it is littering. Y'all already know how I feel about littering, but I need to make myself clear.  In fact, it happened today. I still have blood on the back that I used to rehabilitate that nigga. Don't worry. He'll be able to walk again after 29 years. Lastly, this might seem a bit contradictory to one of the tips I've given, but some of y'all niggas need to slow down. Not because it's safe or anything like that.  What I mean is that I'm the king of the road. I don't allow my speedometer to go anything below a triple digit number. When I see you speeding, I take that as you want to challenge me. You're trying to humble me.  I thought those were autopilot.  Honey, honey, I can't slow the car down. I can't turn the car either. We're going to die.

Happy birthday to you. When you make up, say, how do you feel? I feel so much loved by you and my lovely cat. And what do you think of all the fans? They're very lovely. Very lovely? I like them. Oh, you like them? I love them. Can you pass my appreciation to them? Of course, of course. Hello everyone. Now we're going to the restaurant, but we're late for my wife again. She's always late for us. So now we're at the Spanish restaurant, because my wife always wants to go there. But for those of you who watched my previous video blogs, you probably know that I can't eat food that lives in the sea, in the ocean. So I simply can't eat them, because when I eat them, I feel bad in my stomach. And it's my wife's birthday, and she really likes to eat something that lives in the sea. So how can you see?  But look at my wife, she's very happy. Finally, she can eat the cells, isn't she? My wife is wearing a scarf, so I guess I'll wear the scarf. So we'll see later. It's the most beautiful. So I guess we're now at the end of the night, and we have to say goodbye to you, because you can see it's a very beautiful landscape here. And if you liked this movie, like it, share it. And subscribe to my channel if you haven't yet, and I'll see you in the next video. Do you want to say anything? Say something. Say something. All those views, they did all that hard work for you. So wishes. I really love you guys, and also my husband. Yeah.


Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Jurassic World Alive and Jurassic World the Game! What's this? You can't do that combining both. That's crazy! So as you can see right in front of you there right there we have a goat scent special. This came out of nowhere. I was no nobody was told about this. It just sort of happened. I saw some pictures on Facebook while I was editing tonight's video Which this is also going to be another one on top of and I was like wait a minute. You can take on the goat? What? Oh, there's epics to that as well. Why is going on? This was not in the thing in the precede the process of events that was supposed to transpire today This was in part of it. So there is actually a this was a thing I didn't realize that you only got one pop in it every every stop was a goat And when you clicked on it the goat rolled over and then you got some prize And it was really good prizes as well. I got ten food And something else I can't remember it was but anyway, I you could if you walked close you could have got more prizes So God knows what you could have gone. So we have this thing. This is the ungulate strike Which is the main reason why we're making this video as well as something in Jurassic World the game has also happened So instead of me like dragging out like this episode into whatever it is How we just combined both of them? Oh, we have a super episode filled with a lot of things And the first ever episode of thing we've ever done where we have both games in it So maybe if you guys really like that we can make that a thing in future. Who knows? Anyway, let's go on and take this thing. So this is the ungulate strike I love the description of this one means they go to guards this special strike event reward Wouldn't it be embarrassing to lose? That's fantastic. I love it. Okay, so we're not gonna take any chances here I think we got photo to finish it. Now. Let's see what this goat has in store for us I'm expecting it either to be really good or really bad. It's gonna be one So let's start with magnetator straight away might as well go for it. Oh Oh, he's got boosts on him. Whoa. He's got nine thousand health, but we're quicker So is a hundred forty what's it collect just kidding self-cleanse Increased speed by 10% become invincible for two turns It's just go real destroy shields and escape go reduced targets damaged by 75% Immune to stunts and is that it immune to damage over time immune to distraction It's not immune to slow down on escape heal. Well, there are no other goats. So we're okay So it looks like we are gonna go for this. Hopefully not die Oh my god, I didn't even check the attack didn't even All right, then. All right, we're gonna have to go for thought. I think we're gonna lose guys I think we're gonna I didn't expect it to have have how much 2200 Wow Again, but we've got to kill this goat. We've just got to He's gonna cleanse now. No, he's not. He's going for the scapegoat. We're immune. So that's fine What's the crit chance 10% chance of crit and he got it on us? So we're gonna do like no damage here. They're 945. Wow, we got so unlucky here. I Might okay, Michael Ted doesn't start a chance. I didn't even realize that That we were just gonna be killed in like one shot Do we go and look at did we get crit? 2004,000 for 500. So you need more than 4,000 well well Well, we were defeated by a goat How about that? How is this a constant try and give it another shot? Oh, it's only two bucks. Okay. They know what they're doing I Knew that people would just be taken out by this thing. What can I do? What can I do? Um, I put Gemini Titan in now and we did well I don't know if we did you see that level that why I put some boost into it. So it's got health now And now I I don't know. I just don't know I Think try to solve some thought or a key to getting its help down But then again, it depends what it does if it does just go for I don't know like a Huge hit and it gets a crit. So the cleansing. Okay, that's fine. That's fine. We got armor. We can take that. That's good However, and it's next hit.  So there we go. We do get to go next I mean, what can we do? He's just gonna go for that hit that does like seven thousand that we don't get lucky and get the crit Which is a bit of a shame, but three thousand damage. I'll take that. Oh wait. Oh, have we survived? We're surviving. Oh my god. Yes Decrease its speed again unless he goes for incident to build even if he does go for a cleanse or whatever We're still good. Okay, so there's a goat man. I can't even talk.   That was perfect So destroy shield inflict one times of opponents max HP So he just kills whatever in one hit Basically inflict one times of opponents max HP as armor-pacing damage. It just got real so he can just kill you So it's a look whether he decides to go for that or not Oh German-German a Titan I guess Well, we'll just try and decelerate him if he goes for it. We're dead. Oh Just kidding. Okay. So how much help does he get back? Yes, uh-huh. How much is it 50 is 50%? Looks like a quarter. It's gonna say it's 50% that would be absolutely insane Okay, okay He might go for cleansing I think our best option is of course to break his shield is invincible shield by the way And set up our shield so if he does go for the max rendering, but I think we're just gonna die anyway If he does go for that. We're dead. There you go.   So now what do we do here? Thought I was literally all we can go for is just go for a huge hit and Hope he can't go for that again.  Don't die though. No, please I Am so good. What is that scapegoat reduce targets damage by 75% and then do two times damage? Oh Okay, I'll take this that's good Maybe we might be on to a winner. Oh, he does your max attack. That's what he does. Oh, I got you Right, okay.  Yes We haven't lost one yet. Okay, there's the cleanse. Yep. Thought so thought so. Okay. That's fine That's fine Right now it depends what he does see I could go go for Griffaliff and That might be pretty Decent he does have the things just got real though Oh I'm gonna go for Gemini time. I'm gonna go for Gemini time gonna go for it He could very easily just go for things just got real could very easily just go for that and just finish it Yep, there you go none there could do like there is literally nothing I could do I mean, maybe if I go for instant invincibility I mean does it go through if he does that just got real destroy shield so the yet There's nothing you can do against that Because like if I get hit I might have a chance to kill him, but honestly there's there is literally nothing Oh No, no don't say we've done it rendering counter-attack Only took me maybe like 18 bucks, but you know what that was fun I enjoyed that let's see what we get out of this also you get this you can buy this end as well And you've got a hundred percent chance of getting a t-rex and then with the rest of them It's kind of you know the first one is a hundred percent of t-rex though You know what in these times they're happening around the world Kind of need something like this. That was good move. Lydia. You did good that. Oh, it's shimmy to get more on that though But what about the epic? Okay, oh God, I would have preferred something else geez. Oh, but we got more things to talk. Yes Okay, guys, but let's switch over to Jurassic World the game So here we are. Oh God, we've got the dodo. I didn't even was that so was that you was that supposed to be near but the new hybrid Gallimimers over codon to make a Rare hybrid now we haven't had a rare hybrid in a long time It seemed as though for the longest time that Lydia were just focusing on super hybrids And that was you know the case you you'd get like the legendary hybrid like we had with the uteranus Hybrid hold on just gonna turn that down a smidgen. So let me just collect all these stuff There we go every tater, but we already have over codon max that we already have the gallimimers max up So we can make this thing instantly. Oh God, you can buy packs as well Okay, and might take a fair few books to hatch actually I didn't think about that. So wait. What was this? So what can what can you for $30 30 Australian dollars? Oh, I'm okay Yeah, no, I'm not gonna do that. So we're gonna go straight in here now. Why am I excited about this one? And we'll just grab our 200 free cash why I'm excited about this one is Rare hybrids have the opportunity to actually be really flipping good Things we've seen the tap a jealous. I think that had a hybrid I think tap a job temperature. So that had a hybrid that was really good. And of course who could forget Conor apt it. That's like one of the best like they made my top 10 list last time I made a list and run 10% Barry fantastic. And we got 10% off hybrids. Oh Well, here we go. Let's search for this. Can I not just go to over codon? To go in here and then go in here go into carnivores now over codon. Where are you there?  Yes. Oh, right. You're in here. Ah Bit of a problem. But there you go Level 40 fuse to make the galamimus and now if this is a herb for I will be so happy with Ludi right now The goat thing if this is a blooming herb of all. Oh my god. Yes It looks like it could be a herb of all it does have teeth though Now what makes me think it or believe that it is gonna be a herb of all it's a fact That it it has the galamimus animation if it was carnival it had the offer codon animation It looks like please be her before please Yes, oh Wow Wow, the best secret update in the game. Wow. What is this? Making another oh a max level 40 844 attack 1,600 for a rare That's that's better than a legendary Like a normal legendary of course not a legendary hybrid. Wow. Oh, I like it Whoo, it's like a mix. It's it's a carnivorous galamimus. It's got a really thick neck.  It's got quite Qualities of a Jurassic Park Raptor. I would say Whoo, yes, but a little bit wide on the head, but apart from that. Wow. Okay. Well, we're gonna save Oh god, we've got a we've got a code whatever Um, where are you? Oh god, this is gonna cost a lot of bucks, but I want to get this thing up to level 40 I want to get this thing up to level 40 So we're just gonna It's already gonna cost us a couple thousand bucks Um, we're our dna as well. He's gonna take a hit. We're gonna be very low on dna probably half Oh, don't sell it. Oh, why is that on the left way? Why?  Sorry through night to attack and 752 Hell, there you go. Got it, right Uh, okay, so we may as well do a code 19. We're here. We might as well say I just want to see this and where it stacks up in comparison in the roster with um corner Raptor That I mean this has the opportunity to be Possibly my top 10 dinosaurs in this game like if I was to make a list now This would probably beat out corner Raptor for the sake of it being a uh a herbivore and herbivores are just so poorly needed Um, I would say really you'd want something that was an amphibian because there is so many carnivores in the game And even though it's a herbivore, it's you know a kind of class that you never really see um A like a herbivore takes on the the flyers and there's not really too too many flyers going about That you would take on in the competitive scene Oh, yes. Give me all those. Okay, so we are now we need to No, that's over for codon. No, don't need you anymore. Go bye bye We need another one of you So instead of 7500 even though I am losing a lot of books. I'm saving what 15 percent each time so That is another. Oh, look at you two pucks are up Why aren't you in the deal? Everything off except for that one. Why why is that? Okay, whatever. I'll keep on going with this Just spend me a 138 books a pop for this guy All right, so that is a level 30. So we need four more Um, that is just enough dna. Oh Just enough okay, so keep on placing one two. Well, this is the second one now See it switches like you want to click on the left and then you want to click on the rock click on the right and it's Oh, it's it's dangerous. Okay, so let's just be these guys together I live all that's another 47 a pop To even attempt it. It's not guaranteed and then another hundred dna on top of that. Oh 300 dna it's taken to get this and Oh my like 160 books just to it just to get it to level 20 there So if you do get these level 20 now 120 and 80 it's cheaper. Oh, I like the coloring the coloring looks good All right 120 80 Oh, oh, I don't like it guys Geez how beaver has fallen going from you know being able to level up Any legendary hybrid in the game in one session to now struggling to level up a rare hybrid? Yep, I mean slowly ludio made it hard to get books on dna now and this is what we're faced with at 1146 health and 597 attack That's good But remember hybrid might as well get it to level 20 Because you've already lost two creatures to get it to get one and then to You know spend that much to spend dna again. You can Increase it to start I would say double but it's not double you increase it starts by a lot So we've only got two left to get so we'll get you activate We're gonna get we're gonna get some books back and stuff for when we look at it's um What do we call it? It's uh I don't know why you would call those facts It's a made-up dinosaur. So can you call them fucked? I guess. Okay. We're on 9 000 dna. Oh my god. I've never been this low There's a renders and books we were on 8 000 I think we just clocked over to 9 000 books at the start when I collected that 200 But now as you can quite clearly see we're gonna be below Maybe even 6 000 by the end of this depends. Let's see. So we still gotta give this a couple of pops. Oh first time. That's great And finally to a few is to level 30 is together. Oh, he's got a cool sale 140 and 120 books now See result.  Does this thing look gorgeous? 1,622 health and 844 attack. Ah that looks gorgeous Wow. Oh, he looks good. Yes. Wow, that's amazing. Okay.  I'll do it Also, stay tuned. Uh the the video that was supposed to be going up tonight will still go up to Tonight, I think I registered. I took my finger off of there, but I didn't Whatever Uh But uh, oh no, don't do this Still counts. Yes. Okay. Still counts. Good. Good. Good. Good. I want to see in the roster, but there you go My thoughts on it if you can unlock it do it. It looks really flipping good It'll be able to take on like any even legendary regular legendary dinosaurs This thing is going to be able to take on and you're going to use it in the late game You're gonna as soon as you've got it You're going to use it throughout the entirety of this game's lifespan, which if drastic part builder is anything to go by You've got four more years Okay, let's see. Where does it line up in the roster? Oh, I'd like to see it take on the dodo. We should take on the dodo with it But before we do that Uh, let's have a look. Here we go. Here we go. Now. I'm not expecting it to be anywhere near here This is you know, here we go. Here we go. Okay. It can be somewhere here Now, where is it? It's got to be higher, right? It's not higher Whoa, why is it not higher? It's it's got to be higher than these, right? It's got to be Why is it? Okay, okay. Well, I guess we'll scroll down Okay, maybe it's on power to level 40 legendary something like that Where is it? I am not okay. It's definitely better than these guys. What? Where's the car adapter? No, no, it's not. Oh, it's only legendaries. Oh, it's only legendaries. It's only there we go No instructions. This is the one one. Okay. Okay. So we have well have to scroll down a lot here um Right there.  Oh my god level 20. It's better than glyphonax at level 10 Apparently it's it's not because of tight matchup. But wow, okay Well, we're not gonna face it up against anything like that. We'll have it face up. Oh They got goats in here too. Oh, yes. Well, you know what we're gonna do We're gonna go and it is a herbivore in itself But I just want to see I just want to see how far we can get With over come I must taking on the doda. Okay. Well, I'll tell you what we'll not put them in first We'll have a round about the right team Oh, it's a tiny doda So you got you got the goat, which is of course small in comparison to dinosaurs in grassy world alive In this one, you've got a tiny doda This is great Um, but so much to cover in this.   Whoosh. Oh, oh the camera is still locked in as if it was big so he's barely visible I wonder what it looks like with that just is everything being scaled up I mean, it's not too hard when you think about it Because all you need to do is click on the root join and then scale down and it'll scale down the mesh and everything so I mean, maybe code wise it's hard Or it takes a little bit more effort, but oh there we go Some nibbles brings in What you called oh for comminus. Oh, okay. Well, we may as well just go for some hits on you Oh, there you go.  Don't go for four. Please. Look at it.  We don't care about sticky.  Let's do it. So we've got a new statue. We've got new events. Oh my god This is awesome. Okay, there you go. Oh, it's a jump on isn't it? It's like the scratch scratch and then Nah Oh, it's kind of like an aquatic creature You see that design an aquatic creature with the fins in the sails Maybe it's just like jagged spikes, but I guess it's like a bonita.  Was it always called the death dodo? Well, it's called the death dodo now. I wonder if that's new if it was never like called death dodo before Well, we used two legendaries and we definitely got over 500 So even more chances for dna if you're not playing the game right now Play it like as soon as you see this video get on these games Get the rewards kill the goat if you can because that's a really hard go If you don't have creatures like I didn't dress real live I don't think you're gonna be able to do it Reformed the death dodo there you go getting that up until next time. I hope you enjoyed this video and I'll see you later Oh, bye-bye


Hi children, my name is Mansi and I'm going to help you solve the following question. The question says, prove the following by using the principle of mathematical induction for all n belonging to natural numbers. 1Q plus 2Q plus 3Q up till nQ is equal to n into n plus 1, the whole divided by 2, the whole square. In this question we have to prove by using the principle of mathematical induction. Before proving this we see the key idea behind the question. Now we know that the principle of mathematical induction is a specific technique which is used to prove certain statements that are formulated in terms of n where n is a positive integer. The principle can be explained with the help of two properties. If there is a given statement p at n such that first p at 1 is true and second if statement is true for n equal to k where k is some positive integer p at k is true then statement at k plus 1 is also true for n equal to k plus 1 then p at n is true for all natural numbers n. Using these two properties we can show that statement is true for n equal to 1 then assume it is true for n equal to k then we prove it is also true for n equal to k plus 1 hence proving that it is true for all n belonging to natural numbers. Now we start with the solution to this question. Here we have to prove that 1 cube plus 2 cube plus 3 cube up till n cube is equal to n into n plus 1 divided by 2 the whole square. Now let p at n be 1 cube plus 2 cube up till n cube is equal to n into n plus 1 by 2 the whole square. Now putting n equal to 1 p at 1 becomes equal to 1 cube that is same as n into n plus 1 by 2 the whole square when n equal to 1 it becomes 1 into 1 plus 1 divided by 2 the whole square. This is same as 2 divided by 2 and this is same as 1 and we see that this is true. Now assuming that p at k is true p at k becomes 1 cube plus 2 cube plus 3 cube up till k cube is equal to k into k plus 1 divided by 2 the whole square and this becomes the first equation.  This is equal to k into k plus 1 by 2 the whole square plus k plus 1 the whole cube and this we get using 1. This is same as k square into k plus 1 the whole square plus 4 into k plus 1 the whole cube the whole divided by 4. This is same as k square into k plus 1 the whole square plus 4 into k plus 1 the whole square into k plus 1 this whole divided by 4. Now we see that this can be written as k plus 1 the whole square into k square plus 4 k plus 4 the whole divided by 4. This becomes equal to k plus 1 the whole square into k plus 2 the whole square the whole divided by 4. This becomes equal to k plus 1 into k plus 2 divided by 2 the whole square. This is same as k plus 1 into k plus 1 plus 1 divided by 2 the whole square and we see that this is same as p at k plus 1. So p at k plus 1 is true wherever p at k is true. Hence from the principle of mathematical induction the statement p at n is true for all natural numbers n hence proved. I hope you understood the question and enjoyed the session. Goodbye.
