1. YES! The message of this video is important and often overlooked.

Thanks, Mira, for posting this.

2. Wow..

that brought tears to my eyes. What a great way for most white people to visualize the head start they've been given in life, without even taking their first step. I say most white people, because some of us still won't get it after being shown, in black and white.
You can't get any more honest than that demonstration right there.

6. Lets be honest with ourselves, if Trump or his kids were in that video they'd be whining about ...

why they only have a 50 step head start over everyone else.

7. trump's kids would yell that they worked hard for everything, they are self-made, and never got any

help from Daddy

8. We must all remember

how poor Donald only got a million dollar loan from daddy.

9. Truth can be heartbreaking.

I cried. It is things like that that makes me ashamed to be white.

10. Touching.

This is something my immediate family has talked about and acknowledged. We know we would not be where we are without a support system others have not had. Our acknowledgment engenders empathy, the bedrock of liberalism.

11. Go to YouTube, folks.

Like the video, encourage its creators.

We need more lessons like this.
