Life OMG: 1000 posts here I come... - Page 3

This is an excellent 47 minute long video. It's based off the older brown eyed blue eyed documentary done in the 60's.

Basically it goes to show people how we (black people) feel like we have to "play the game" to get by.

Of course YOU aren't the one's that enslaved us etc, and YOU may not be a racist but this is an excellent way to see how disadvantaged and how many obstacles we have when it comes to succeeding in life.

Here's the vid.

Please watch it with an open mind and maybe see that we kinda have a point to feel that way instead of trying to defend how you're treated as we are.

All I'm getting is the Megavideo site with a button that says 'Push to Play" it links to another site.

You haven't started your own internet porn site and are just trying to increase traffic are you mess ?

wutamess · 02-16-2010, 01:03 AM

push play once and it brings up a popup.
Close the popup and push play again it'll then load the vid for you.
Not my doing.

It's a really well-meaning video, wutamess. I want to know what you people are going to do about it.

To be honest, I was expecting a kumbyeya ending or revelation. Still an interesting experiment in human nature.

You should also check out info on the Stanford prison experiment.

I think her "experiment" is slightly outdated and rudimentary that fails to address the nuances of why people of all racial backgrounds are, or are not racist. To this woman you're either a racist, or a racist. There was no either-or proposition. There were no gray areas. And with the failures to address that I think her lesson is somewhat lacking.

Having said that, I completely agree with her unapologetic stance she takes on racism in society.

I see what you're getting at. You're a racist.

I don't have an extra hour to watch the video, but I thought I'd contribute to Roger's goal of 1K posts. It's the least I can do, which is my usual contribution.
