Social Experiment That Shows Discrimination Still Exists In America








�

People trying to play if off like they don't notice the @#$%.

Word NT, Discrimination of any sort is just plain stupid, happens more than often though.

If you were in such a situation what would you have done?

 

[imajaywalker]

didnt seem to so much expose racism, just shows that a majority of people wont speak out if they witness it.

They should have just given a hidden camera to the black lady and had her go in the boutiques and shown how she was treated.

im half black if it matters lol

"use her black card"

 

[spsfinest212]

This is why I walk in with cash in hand...

 

[10 piece nuggets]

If I ever see this happen for someone and they dont properly defend theirselves (verbally), I would step in 100% and would make sure that employee would getfired.


That is totally unnacceptable.

 

[nightruans]

lolz

cosign reminds me of that chappelle skit


isnt it illegal for that security guard to frisk ol girl?

 

[dathbgboy]

SWB, DWB, at the end of the day, it happens and ppl don't say anything. I've been in those type of situations before where I was the victim. I walkinto the store w/ a group of white ppl and I'm the only one they offer to "assist". They feel stupid w/ I drop guap no damn delay

 

[josebronx]

hate it

they have to ask. It's also illegal for them to detain you.

Didn't watch the video, but I think it's hilarious when you find those people whos job it is to follow you around and they think you don't noticewhat they're doing. Like really ma'ma, you really have to unfold and refold the shirts right next to where ever I am? Every time? What coincidence!

 

[sunny559]

see, the same %^$# would prolly happen to me, so I'd prolly get accused of stealing junk if I intervened.
thats why I shop with white chicks, makes me see less suspicious.

 

[antonlavey]

Whether it happens of not, the paranoia of knowing people maybe paying extra attention to you shopping because you're black is

 

[sirius lee handsome]

Interesting experiment though it seems a bit forced. I think the ill treatment a lot of people receive in stores and the like tends to be more subtle (thoughjust as humiliating). It's tough to say what anyone would do witnessing that kind of situation because a lot of the time it's less trouble to getinvolved and also because people generally tend to mind their business. Can't really knock those people, but the dude who did comment with the black cardremark was way off for his type of thinking. That kind of stuff don't surprise me.

For some odd reason I found this whole piece comical.

The guy who said the black card thing was comically racist. He couldn't think of something clever to say, so he threw that out there. Blackpeople and their black cards.

[hypebeast mcstreetwear]

This is dope. I feel bad for the hate (and love) the white guy's gonna get when this airs.

 

[sc415]

Damn, that's shady. I know I be getting looks when I sometimes walk into RL or Bloomingdale,.

 

[kenji714]

lol this is nothing . I've seen worse

 

[guttagetsbusy]

I watched the first 43 seconds and stopped...

This is real???

The hell? *Goes back to finish watching*

Truly sad...

 

[ninjallamafromhell]

This has less to do with race, and more about a deeply ingrained indifference towards other people's problems. The "It's not my problem"attitude that has saturated our society, and is the main cause of most of our societies problems.
