A short, not-so-sweet, and brutal practical demonstration of how race changes the perceptions of a lot of people. Could it happen like this where you live? Does it?


How would you view the same scene if you passed someone trying to break into a car? This video was made in Los Angeles.

Are you freaking kidding me. I don't care what city these scenes can be seen in. I am a car fanatic and love my cars, and if I see anyone trying to break into someone else car, I would be on my phone in a heartbeat. Do not care if the person breaking into the car is white either, no free passes heres.

White or black does not matter, if your a freaking thief, I am on the phone with the POLICE. And I would not be a passer by, I know myself, and would ask this little twirp, what the hell he is doing.

I am embarrassed that these idiots who passed by, did not open up their traps, that is just wrong. Maybe a lot of people see color different then I do. That was just wrong. If your going to arrest the black guy, the little twirp white guy should be arrested also.

I know this was just for stage purposes, but these are the sort of incidents, I understand can really upset some black people, and I totally understand. People need to get over the color issue, and see people for who they are inside, not their physical appearance. People need to be judged by their actions, not by their color.

I keep telling people that the largest number of shoplifting and car thief's are white people, because race bias is so strong in this country that anyone black is considered suspect until proven innocent, its the other way around for white people. These are facts and not just in these genres of society. Did you know that the most successful burglar was a white female in Miami? The reason she was so successful was because she wore a business suit to commit her crimes. She stated that in some cases while she was breaking in.. Neighbor's would tell her where the spear keys were hidden. This video does not surprise me, but what really pissed me off were the angry looks on all the faces of the people that were watching the black guy pull the same stunt. It's like... Where was the angry faces towards the white guy doing the exact same thing prior?

I don't know what the statistics are for those crimes but there is a distinct difference between totals and rates. You need to look at rates, you can't use totals becsue of the large population difference.

It isn't isolated. Here's another example:
