Black male privilege in the #metoo era | Theo E.J. Wilson | TEDxMileHigh

"Privilege tends to be a hard conversation with men. Add race to that equation, and get ready for battle. It's hard enough to get white men to acknowledge privilege, even with them accounting for 44 of our 45 presidents." So imagine talking privilege with black men! In this courageous & laugh-out-loud talk, Theo E.J. Wilson does just that, examining the ways race, gender, and privilege intersect - and what we can do about it. Theo E.J. Wilson (aka Lucifury) is a founding member of the Denver Slam Nuba team, which won the National Poetry Slam in 2011. He began his speaking career in the N.A.A.C.P. at the age of 15, and has always had a passion for social justice. Wilson is Executive Director of Shop Talk Live, Inc., an organization that uses the barbershop as a staging ground for community dialogue and healing. In 2017, he published his first book, The Law of Action. His TEDxMileHigh talk, “A black man goes undercover in the alt-right,” has over 10 million views online. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
