A really sad thing is that people's brain automatically gives them a fear stimulant when it comes to things that are different. For example, it is in the genes of a white person to be afraid of a black person. However, we can use our brain to overcome that fear, and even put it aside entirely. Either way, it is still genetically determined, and its only been a few generations that different races are living together. So it'll take time for the genes to evolve :), maybe next generation

Your phrasing of the word "justifiable" is my concern with your commentary. It suggest a right or wrong with the video. That is a dangerous world to live in don't you think?

He is in an 18wheeler bed

[dman71215]

I wonder if that rodney king beating or the lynching in S.Carolina last year (2010), would be considered justifiable self-defense. You're moron. Maybe Hitler was justifiably paranoid when he wanted to get rid of all the Jews and non Aryan groups from this planet. I mean the truth of the matter is that an argument of any point can be made to sound intelligent and well thought out even if it's ridiculous.

[iMeGAMaN227]

I see what your saying

But in the video what the guy was saying is that if it was a white man in the elevator she wouldn't have do anything but it was a black man so she clutched her purse

What your saying is that she should clutch her purse because the time we live in. But that's not what the video is trying to say

[muddy3216]

I see the point your making and that can go any way depending on witch color of the line your standing behind.Bryan muddy3216@yahoo.com if you disagree please email me and we can dicuss it.

[e2tru2003]

who are you? are you michael steele's kid brother? this was a comical video portraying real life situations experienced by most Black people (descendants of slaves). Do you know how so few white men were able to catch so many Africans and enslave them? By silly niggers just like you... I hope you made a lot of white people happy Sambo.

[deandreboss]

Wow dude u have no fucking idea what ur talking about. Justifiable paranoia? What ? Dude there is no good reason to be racist!!!!!! U might as well say that our black president should have lost the election because of racist asswholes having fucking justifiable paranoia, because that's just what a white eroupean American wants u to think u uneducated nigga! If anything the black characterwas right because if anything African Americans, native Americans, and mexicans should be paranoid. O and

[senorsalazar]

BRAVO !!!! Well said !!!!

[ChuckBattle]

Its comedy!?! All white people act like that, even the white dudes with fanny packs! LOL!!!

[TheWhitevoices]

My video /watch?v=ESGurhtBKN8

[TheWhitevoices]

In a truck I see. Well, I agree just cause a women is wary of you don't means it's racism I have had some upper class women of all races act that way with me. It's more of a classist issues more than race! see my video on it!

[RoyElvisBand]

good job I agree with you

you know what I'm proud of America we will be okay we just need to stick together and pint out the bullshit we are not stupid  god bless

[jgirl76]

Thank you very much for posting your take on this. I COMPLETELY agree with you and I called it PROPAGANDA too! My sentiments exactly.

[silversnakeseven]

Great take on that. I was a bit offended at that video myself.

[fort49]

Suck my Big Black Cock n Suck it good

[2OpenyourEyes]

I am a racist.

But you my friend , you are the most intelligent black man i have ever seen an more intelligent than most whites I know. People like you make us think about our anti-black position and whether we are wrong or not.

bravo.

[bluedragonrrj]

This video is mainly for humor. You are taking it way too seriously.

[Zaphodox]

Thank you so much for saying that. The black guy was an agressive racist. To be honest his attitude even supports the viewpoint of that women:

If a nasty short vicious racist of *any* colour got into a lift I would be clutching my handbag. (if i had one lol)

That "humour" reinforces the "violent black man" stereotype thus it is self defeating in that his actions negate his message.

[MrKenpon]

If this were an actual situation I believe it not so far fetched to think of the possibility that she could have had a heart or panic attack, etc.

Then what? Would he have called an ambulance or run?

As for your more info section post, I do most definitely agree.

[MasterPokemonGuides]

I agree, its because of things on T.V that people think African Americans are all hoodlums.

I can tell your a good guy, and I get what you mean, even though I'm caucasion =]=]

[gunnyranger2]

Thanks for speaking the truth.I can tell you're a good guy.

Official racial statistics of crime w w w . ojp . usdoj . gov / bjs / homicide / race . htm and w w w . ojp . usdoj . gov / bjs / pub / pdf / pjim06 . pdf Official racial statistics of single mothers w w w . census . gov / population / socdemo / hh-fam / tabFM-2 . pdf

[TheTurnerDiaries1488]

The fact of the matter is that blacks do most of the crime in this country even though they make up less than 13% of the population, so it is smart to be cautious around blacks, especially young black men. This is also why it is intelligent to be racial profiling blacks. White woman's fear of black men did not come out of thin air. There is a correlation between the fact that most crime is committed by blacks and most blacks are born to single mothers as bastards (out of wedlock).

[Zaphodox]

But you have to be carefull how you look at that statistic:

The logical danger is to think that [the high crime rate] is because they are black rather than because society *treats* them as black. There is no genetic predisposition for black people to be criminal thugs. There is however a HUGE social disposition.

Just look at hip-hop culture. Sorry to say but it has done more damage to black culture and racial equality than anything since the days of slavery.

[worriedaboutlife]

I appreciate this video.. look.. speaking as a very paranoid person I sometimes think that white people like me need to see a black person say something like this on you tube everyday.. it's not just I have had bad experiences with black people - and good ones - it's that growing up I have always felt such a feeling of hatred from balck people towards me.. you know I don't want to say anything more than that.. because I've probably pissed you off already..but fear ain't racism hate is

[tommys525]

are you in a tank or a bomb shelter?

[moderatepopulist]

I refer to that loosely as "antonymous limitation" if the subjects are perceived as opposites in some way. I tend to look at things from a certain Black perspective while being mindful of that sentiment (regarding racism) from other racial groups. E.g., while Blacks are most frequently the beneficiary of +racism,they are also the frequent target of -racism. While + may be viewed as atonement for the - and so on. Issues among two or more groups exist,but all must be seated at the table.

[Zaphodox]

But I ask you is there any place for +racism? If anything +racism is more dangerous than -racism.

-racism is a morale crime regardless of the actual racist 'portion' e.g. being cruel, rude, violent. The racism is only the justification not the action so its effect is apparently 'evil'

+racism still is racism and uses the same justification as -racism (on one level at least) but the effects are positive. Thus racism is allowed and *encouraged* by society and thus the mindset is perpetuated.

[moderatepopulist]

I misspoke when I said the thing about remote controlled power locks... I meant to embellish that some ppl lock their doors twice by pressing the button twice. But this could be for any number of reasons. However, if I was the reason that's okay because they don't know me, and i do similar things to safeguard myself and belongings.

[keykeyx10000]

blahhhhh. If the person isn't acting like they are going to attack, there is no need to hunch up against the wall and clutch a bag.

If there IS a threat, you can truly sense it. If you already hae the prejudice and prejudged thoughts, it causes paranoia which leads to what she did as he entered the elevator.

Also, lighten up. :)
