Watch the full talk: A clip from Baratunde Thurston's TED Talk “How to deconstruct racism, one headline at a time“ from TED2019 Baratunde Thurston explores the phenomenon of white Americans calling the police on Black Americans who have committed the crimes of ... eating, walking or generally “living while Black.“ In this profound, thought-provoking and often hilarious talk, he reveals the power of language to change stories of trauma into stories of healing — while challenging us all to level up.
