Georgia teen white privilege presentation
Robin, a senior at Fayette County High School in Georgia, received a standing ovation at her school when she gave a profound and clever presentation explaining what white privilege is to her entire class.
Robin, who runs the People of Color Union Club at her school, chose the topic when her teacher encouraged students to choose their own topics for their speeches. The teenager felt that she should choose a topic that addressed the injustices and systemic discrimination people of color face.
“[Our teacher] tells us the area where we should create our topics and we all create our own individual ideas,” she told BuzzFeed News. “She told our class we had to do an informational speech so I was like, ‘Hey, why not discuss this with my class.’”
Used spoken word
While Robin used a few slides for her speech, she articulated most of her presentation through spoken word as she directly addressed the myth that white privilege does not exist and backed up her information with facts.
“[White privilege] affects our daily society in our magazines … children are also influenced and I used the doll test as a reference,” she said. “We live in a Eurocentric society.”
Robin received a standing ovation for her speech and posted a picture of herself standing in front of one of her slides to Twitter, where it has gone viral, receiving both hate and praise.
