I had a visceral response at 2:20. For some reason the simplicity of this video helped me see some of my childhood experiences through the lens of internalized racism with more clarity. Thank you.

This is actually pretty deep and detailed for a 3 min video

this made me feel like I connected the dots unlike ever before

This is such a great resource. Thanks for making it!

Absolutely brilliant. Succinct and illustrative. A great way to communicate about these difficult (sometimes intractable) topics. I'm a DEI educator and use this resource often.

I wish there was a downloadable video as Google (youtube) is a member of the dominant group in terms of class and wealth. They literally have such a library of knowledge that they monetize (exploit) from those who don't have access on their own.

Dear Ms. Pipes, this is a clever adaptation of the original article I wrote in 1995. Here is a pdf copy in case you have not seen this. It has been published in many journals and college curricula and has become a standard reference piece such that my name is not always associated with it, which is fine with me, as long as it is faithfully adapted, which you have done. my best, John Bell

This is one of my favorite educational videos of all time, thanks Eliana. I was wondering if you came up with the term "4 I's of Oppression" or if you attribute it to someone else? I've used your video and seen other people use the terms, but no attribution. Thanks!

Going to show this to my high school class. Thank you!

You break things down so well!!!! Thank you :-)

These captions could use a second look - many of them are very difficult to read. Otherwise seems like a useful video.

[Melnish]

Thank you for explaining. it was pretty clear like oh wow lol

[sunnyslopewhitetails]

Just another term associated with, suck it up buttercup or grow a set etc.! It's the 4 letter word known as LIFE!!! Everyone everyday is oppressed in some form or another!! So don't sit around wasting life away over a term that is often taken out of context. Grow up people!

So many false statements I can't even keep up with them all
