nothing in this video is shocking. not the way the actors behaved or the way the onlookers did nothing about it. i have countless stories about this happeningand it's ironic that they used soho because that's where it's most prevalent.

It's not just shopping while black though. Store employees not only profile minorities but also other categories of people as well. The most profiled groupof people are probably youth because they are perceived as being troublemakers who do not have money to spend anyways. Employees are also guilty of profilingcustomers based on the clothes they wear and this applies to everyone regardless of race.

Word. That #$^^ was hot fire.
My guy in the western jacket held it down.
In reponse to alot of replies of course the out shinning topic in this documentary is
that people aren't willing to take action towards situations not concerning them unless
it becomes evident by the public to do so, hence the line following the lady at the end.
As for the "black card" guy.
It seems like to me he just wanted to fit in with everybody.
Consoling the clerk in the store..but then going on the agree with the interviewer.
I know I'm not talking to myself. NT is not some exclusive club somewhere isolated. We ARE those people out there.
and we have got to do better.
Side Note: Woman in the red could have def gotten the business.

The dude who made the "Black Card" remark was probably one of the more severe reactions. But I've ran into a lot of guys like this, they changetheir tune to whats appropriate at the time.
...That was a great illustration of closet racism.

This happened to me once at an heb near my house. I went ape $%*+ on the lady. Her statement was "im the manager and i can do anything i want." wewere some honest young black kids, would had money because we have full time jobs as CSR's. And this lady is watching us like we were going to stealsomething. this was when i was 17 or 18. She was fixing a cart of already perfectly arranged shampoo bottles, and watching us.
We just finished playing ball, so we went up their to grab some gatorade and stuff.

yea i strongly cosign with that. this video/experiment was wild interesting. i was in awe at how many times she took a L w/o anyone saying otherwise. so youcan def believe i was cheering for those 2 women who had the guts to say thats wrong and roll out with her. the other customers are str8 followers tho. nyc isgenerally one of the most diverse places in the world id say, especially queens. growin up, i had friends of all backgrounds, but still

I understand the experiment and it's more than just race. People tend to want to stay out of other people's business when they're in trouble

That was the first one of these I ever saw. They did that one in Texas. They also did the one on black people in a car in an upscale neighborhoodversus white people actually vandalizing cars in that same neighborhoodOriginally Posted by shaolin

Haha good lookin out my dude... @*$* just came to me too and i was like damn that was dope!
But back to the topic:
Ya this definitely goes on way too much...
I hate when people stereotype or judge me... its my pet peeve.
Yall remember Smart Guy??
Member that one episode where Yvette and her white friend worked at that retail shop
then the manager asked her white friend to keep an eye on "that type"
so Yvette got mo and her white friend to go in there while the manager was working...
told mo to just look around while the manager followed him
told the white guy to shop lift some stuff cuz the manager wouldnt notice
taped the whole thing n showed it to the manager
then when to the CEO (a black guy) of the company and showed it to him
had him to inside the shope and pretty much set that manager straight
That idea was insane.
I honestly wanna pull some @*$* like this and just set people straight
But hey theres a solution:
We are the next generation!
We need to stop the stereotyping and the judging of people.
Its up to us.
We will teach our kids to do the same and so on.
This will not change overnight...
But we do need change.
Thats REAL TALK.
Haha look at me sounding all philosophical n @*$* haha

I think I would've said sumtin to the clerk. I'm completely against prejudice and racism. And to see sumtin escalate to that level, I'm pretty sureI would'nt have sat there ans watched the #++% go down.

As a retail employee who works with high-end merchandise, I can tell you we profile everyone, regardless of race. It's part of being a human being andhaving experience dealing thousands of shoppers over the years. And 95% of the time our assumption is dead-on. The problem is different races develop uniqueshopping patterns that we identify (I'd go more in depth, but I'm sure NT's PC Police would report it). We'll greet every customer and offerhelp, but beyond that it's on the shopper to actually show an interest in being helped.

I also am a retail employee who works with high-end merchandise...$300 Jordans.
But that doesnt mean that you basically strip search certain people based upon assumption?
Follow them neck hair close around the store?
Address an assumption in the fore front of the public eye?
Harass someone with no evidence that this person even intends to shoplift besides their "appearance"?
