You are just being willfully ignorant here. Of course demographics matter. There are many videos like these where pranksters go into Black areas to pull pranks, because they expect these types of outrageous reactions. If lower class Blacks didn't act this way, then these videos wouldn't be made.
Isn't it about class and not race? Someone with money is less likely to care about losing something of little monetary value. As well as not knowing how to fight since they live in an ivory tower and don't have to fight for things that they deserve as much.
I think you touched on the key difference. In these neighborhoods if you don't know how to fight or aren't willing to fight, life can be pretty tough. Notice how quick some of them reacted it was instinctive. The last boy walloped him before he even fully took the phone. That boy had some quick hands, lol.
Nonsense, all that video proves is that some young men will react aggressively if you attempt to take their property.
In fact, if the roles were reversed and the young men pulling the prank were black and being attacked, by non black people, you wouldn't find those peoples' behavior problematic or indicative of a violent culture.
In fact drawing conclusions about the people in any neighborhood based on prank videos is foolish.
In no small part because you don't know if the video participants are in on the prank and instructed to react a certain way.
Certainly, there are people who make videos of themselves being punched or hurt. Heck those guys behind the jack a. S. S movies for example specialize in creating seemingly real looking fake incidents in public.
But even forgetting that, there is no way to know how many people didn't react aggressively and who therefore were not shown. We have no way of knowing how long they attempted to get this footage.
So based on that it is impossible to draw conclusions from their prank videos.
All you are proving is that what you want to believe about those young men based on the color of their skin. SMH.
There are just some people you REALLY shouldn't play with. When you get your warning, you would do well to heed it.
If you've ever met an authentic Brownsvillian, you know that it's not a game. Brooklyn is hard edged as it is, but Brownsville goes up a notch.
But whatever. Keep playing with people...just don't say anything when you're laying up with IV's and a colostomy bag.
Please, whatever lol...
When was the last time you've been to Brownsville? If ever.
They have dumped bleach down almost all of Brooklyn. Red Hook and Williamsburg are nearly unrecognizable compared to the 90's. Fort Greene is hipster central now. Brownsville is on the fast track to gentrification as well...
The roaches and rats are scrambling to the very last corners left in Bushwick and Bedstuy...East New York is the last real craphole left.
These guys are idiots. Watched the entire video, and really didn't see an inappropriate reaction from the victims. Not sure what they expect, but they are going to get seriously hurt.

LOL...^^^this dude.
Hey Tony Danza , thanks on the Brooklyn bad neighborhood rundown. None of us knew any of that genius.
Brownsville remains a tough neighborhood. You can't refute that, so what are you bothering me for with this unnecessary history of modern day Brooklyn? We all know that Brooklyn has done a 180 in large portions of the borough.
So what else is new? How about that story about the sun being hot? Or how water is wet?

You just love asking questions that you already know the answers to, don't you?
And how do you know they didn't get hurt in Manhattan?
