a guy that is a college graduate is just as likely to wear his pants low as a full blown thug.
unfricking believable! how can you say this? hello! pants low and undies and rump 90 percent visible equals = complete idiot! one who is rightfully shunned by corporate america!!
Don't click it if you can handle the F word. It's pretty funny, though. Because it's true.
Long time ago, someone said to me, "You're standing at an ATM machine, and two black youths come up and stand behind you. How do you feel?"
Now, same scenario, 'cept it's 2 white dudes.
Now switch for two Asian guys.
And two Latinos.
Did you feel any different for any one of those scenarios? Yes? Congratz. You're a racist. You based your probabilty of getting mugged or accosted simply upon someone's race.
Funny video, I also watched the related ones from the same series
But really, he is short, slender, dressed like a businessman, why would anyone be scared of him?
I have seen my fair share of white skinheads and believe me I never felt safe when they were around me. There are so many groups of people in whose presence I automatically switch to alert mode. Rockers, any drunk people, people speaking in a loud or vulgar way, people dressed in fan gear, all-male groups of people, soldiers and policemen, etc.

The thing about this is look how he is dressed. He presents as a regular law abidding citizen. No fear but I know some kids around my way that will hurt people if they can. They dont dress anything like that. They dress like gangbangers. I dont want some innocent white person to get hurt because some thug used racism as a way to lure someone asleep and attack them. Sorry if you present yourself correctly you will not get this treatment. Some are going to be afraid no matter what but most people will judge the situation and not the race.
So from now on when a guy like the one in the video gets on an elevator with me - should I plug my ears b/c I don't want to listen to him cuss me out and insult me under his breath, then finish it off by screaming "BOO!" in my face?
Not sure I buy the message as presented in the video clip. Are there any objective examples out there? something like that show "What Would You Do?".
ha ha that woman is stupid because she could've broken the ice with a positive e.g. oh you're cute or something. some singles have no game funny production though
Actually - I think that video represents reverse racism. Everyone still ASSUMES how 'white' people react to different scenarios. Currently living on a street where I, being a white woman am the minority - I am offended at the video that people still look at white women as being afraid of black men...just because? The guy is dressed professionally, they are obviously not in a beaten run down elevator in a neighborhood on the 'other' side of town. The video is just stupid. Come to the DC area...ummm....yeah - everyone's in the elevator with everybody.
Maybe there should be a video of a black man getting pulled over by a white police officer and you can take it from there. If the guy thinks he's going to get his butt beat by a white cop - would that be racism too? According the message in this video - most definitely.
I'm not saying racism doesn't happen because it does with every group. But it is stuff like this that keeps it going.
