Nov 9, 2010 - Captain actually what she is saying is that they build Airports, Waste Plants, Toxic Plants in lower income neighbor hoods we are talking about big corporations against re-developing communities. Places like Inglewood next to LAX ( alot of as u say W people live)or Pfzier next to the poorest government project in St. Louis and Madame's example of NY White familes in Annastion Alabama lost the most members because of a toxic plants it effects everyone on earth !

Nov 29, 2010 - This lady has alot of people fooled. Though her intentions are good, there is something fishy about her---she charges $25,000 for an appearance to lecture. I wonder how many 'poor black people' could use some of that cash. She is a savvy businesswoman, but let's not crown her as a real life 'Capt. Planet'

Jan 16, 2011 - Having grown up in Brooklyn NY, I appreciate what this sister has to say. As of 01/16/10, YouTube states that this video has 248 likes and 21 dislikes. As for the 21 dislikes, I'm NOT gonna "go there," except to say that the majority of 248 likes speaks volumes about the content of this presentation. Playa hate if you will, but as a person who GREW UP in the hood, it's refreshing to hear about Sustainable SOLUTIONS coming to the hood. Stuff happens when you remove parks and nature from people.

Feb 12, 2011 - @phclapp Commentor phclapp thinks that Black people have to stay poor or they are not authentically helping anyone? "Poor Black People" are not paying the speaking fees, and that money would not be going to them if Ms Carter talked for free. She has a staff and office, and overhead to pay for; and she spoke at my wife's charter school for free. @Phclapp is kind of racist if you ask me.

amamteee Says:

Feb 15, 2011 - She had to talk fast because the speech had to be finish under 20 minutes.

phclapp Says:

Feb 17, 2011 - So I'm racist for saying 'poor black people'Having lived in NYC for 2.5 years, I'm simply relaying visuals which I saw on an almost daily basis: homeless, battered, tired looking people who could use assistance. Many of whom were in the neighborhoods that Majora speaks of. Some black, some white. There is no tolerance for racism in the 21st century, and you're a clown for even inferring that. Stick to keeping your relationship with your wife smooth, rather than attacking Youtube Commentors.

SouthBronxNative Says:

Feb 26, 2011 - yeah, you live in nyc for 2.5 years and you can tell Majora how it is....

Mar 23, 2011 - What a beautiful lady! She shares all my ideas, and she's a doer! I need to step my game up and be more proactive. What an inspiration, and I'll do my best to contribute even more than I can imagine. Majora, keep doing your thing!

DesireG Says:

May 14, 2011 - I feel where you are coming from yet I would say that everyone starts out with the best intentions. I personally stay poor as an organizer for a reason but I can understand how these talented leaders get caught up in the fray of the intellectual & financial elites.

thetruthonthereal Says:

Jun 3, 2011 - only if she understood that money stands in the way, that without money, we could accomplish a whole lot more. Really, a resource based economy would be the only way to truly unlocking human potential in regards to "going green"

Skoda130 Says:

Jul 3, 2011 - A resource based society, is pretty much an oxymoron. The only stage in which humans ever had a resource based life, was the stage in which we were hunters/gatherers.

thetruthonthereal Says:

Jul 3, 2011 - @skoda130, how is it an oxymoron??? At the stage your referring to, we didn't have highly advanced technology that could make the scarcity our ancestors faced a thing of ancient history. If anything, a money based society breeds artificial scarcity, its the very mechanism that leads to 30,000 death daily from hunger and preventable diseases, while the WHO recently admitted we have more than enough food (resources) to end world hunger, but yet not enough fancy pieces of paper to afford it

ACLTony Says:

Jul 14, 2011 - Powerful. I first thought that this was going to be a political speech, but this beautiful lady presented her points well thought-out and researched. I remember the Hunts Point area as a kid way back in the day. Her descriptions were not exaggerated as I still remember the river looking a sickly brownish green color. I am glad that the Bronx has had so many improvements and cleanups in the past decade.

Jul 19, 2011 - We've got to do something like this in LA!

hookalakah Says:

Aug 19, 2011 - "SolFocus assembles its solar panels in China, and the new San Jose headquarters employs just 90 people.In the Bay Area as in much of the country, the green economy is not proving to be the job-creation engine that many politicians envisioned. President Obama once pledged to create five million green jobs over 10 years. Gov. Jerry Brown promised 500,000 clean-technology jobs statewide by the end of the decade. But the results so far suggest such numbers are a pipe dream." --New York Times

Feb 8, 2012 - Brilliant! I am a Black Man in America with only one question. Why haven't I heard of this lady?
