      Has anyone ever found a video of this terrific David Simon Georgetown commencement speech? http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-05-25/news/bs-ed-simon-20120525_1_new-century-woody-allen-commencement/2 … #DavidSimon @Georgetown

      @avantgame @RyanNewYork => "How many white, black, Indian, Asian, etc. people does someone need to make an acceptable inspirational speech?"

      @Frogdiceinc @RyanNewYork Let's set the bar low. How about something OTHER than 100% white men? esp if you're addressing a diverse audience.

      @avantgame @RyanNewYork Definitely ideal. I agree. But should ticking genders or races off a list be more important than the message?

      .@Frogdiceinc the message you're sending (implicitly, not explicitly) is that only white men have ever said or done anything important.

          @avantgame @Frogdiceinc the more you'll be inspired, the more you'll achieve. Tons of empirical evidence for this, eg http://psp.sagepub.com/content/28/9/1183.short …

          @avantgame I don't see how it sends that message. If you gave a TED talk & only cited women that influenced you, I wouldn't react that way.
