[a1channel1]

i love her

[agapitoflores001]

She speaks pretty well. Clap, clap, clap!

[jamil7benton]

So lame that ASU gets the President to speak, but UC Berkeley gets this freaking chick.

Here is how The System should be. After students graduate they will work directly for the Government. They will go where they need to go.

A. Farming and Agriculture.

B. Health and Medicine.

C. Engineering and Technology.

[prrolg]

@tnguyen318 I think you need to grow up a bit. Then tell people how the "System should be".

[555huck]

Pretty lightweight for a UC Berkeley commencement speech. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

[godscuttingyoudown]

I'm a researcher and know the only info worth its weight is hidden under piles of abandoned books in libraries and used bookstores

common knowledge is common enough for the heard to oink oink over their cell phones

[prrolg]

After 4 minutes of listening it sounds like this woman hasn't learned anything since she was 18. She sounds like she's 18. She looks like she is trying to look 18. Don't misunderstand. It doesn't mean she doesn't have value

[tnguyen318]

I have no idea why she is saying what she is saying. What does it have to do with anything about graduation or the future of these students.

[prrolg]

@tnguyen318 You have no idea why she is saying what she is saying. I don't know her motivations either. Except the ones she states such as making womens "space for new roles in society" a little wider and further etc. Listen again maybe?

[imcornholio55]

Wow, all critical comments that were written 14-15 hours ago are removed now.

How about this for openness and tolerance, we will only publish these comments that we like.

Gosh I shouldn't have watched Steve Job's commencement before this one

[kellyclarksonidol]

began it :P

[adoc1st]

It was her mother and grandfather that made it possible for her. Her father must have been a homeless bum then.

[ballongtime]

Okay, ladies, she just gave you license to push us dumb guys onto the street. Us dudes aren't socially adept, anyway. You should just insist we go to war to die, or become damaged goods, twisted minds, and demented souls. We just don't know how to get along.

[ireppdorkk]

@jittendroloin oh of course, it is completely REAL, OBVIOUS, & PAINFUL for those of us who choose to see it. ignorance is bliss for those who refuse to see all the OBVIOUS OBVIOUS opportunities to be aware. thank you for making that clarification for others who may have not realized what i meant

[ireppdorkk]

@creatine64 no i am not. i'm educated and critical of the hidden hegemony of white supremacy in our world. i'm far from racist actually, if you knew me; i'm dissapointed in people who speak of being interconnected and want to get past differences but do not reach out beyond their own levels of comfort in their white privilege.

[jittendroloin]

@ireppdorkk Well said! BTW, it's not a "hidden hegemony"...if you look past the popular media, it's pretty obvious. You hit it right on the nose when you referenced "levels of comfort."  That applies to us all. Good on you for bringing up the issue; it's pushing the envelope of comfort for us all; otherwise the paradigm will never shift.

[creatine64]

@ireppdorkk u say that u are "far from racist" but the comment u 1st made says otherwise, it’s sad that u don't even see it. u are making an assumption of this person based off of what she is saying & assuming that she isn't reaching out beyond her own comfort level. I bet if u went to a school that was predominately black & had some1 giving a commencement speech it would involve a lot of quotes from black individuals that they look up to. please don't cut ur nose off to spite ur face.

[ireppdorkk]

white commencement speaker. quotes from white individuals. ONLY white people in the video she made. this is how she wants us to be interconnected???? DISAPPOINTING.

[creatine64]

@ireppdorkk you are the reason racism is still here today.

[yaz90jordan]

@creatine64 goo die

[creatine64]

@yaz90jordan "goo die"...LOL

how old are you?

[PantsThatDontFit]

Typical Cookie cutter speech. This is what years of indoctrination does...

zaps the human right out of you....

[masudosman]

[tnguyen318]

What is a commencement speech? Aren't all speeches at the commencement a speech?
