  • i don't think anything as blatant as this happens in real life. this is as one commented very blatant to be true, non-realistic and what strikes me the most is the victim's reaction - very timid, powerless and indecisive... too realistic and very typical don't you think :) the subject was exploited by the show. 

  • Nowadays racism is much more covert, mainly subconscious stereotyping, so much so you have to use actors to come up with the blatant stuff

  • OMG !

  • It would be interesting to see what would happen if a smartly dressed white person walked in a black neighbourhood and a smartly dressed black person walked in a white neighbourhood. The question would then be "Who do you think would be mugged?"

  • JFC... This stuff makes me physically ill... It's crazy how people will do anything to fit in (like the uh-oh-guy).

  • if there is one thing i hate, it's a fucking NIGGER

  • Unfortunately the world will never be free of racism

  • White ppl commit the same crimes as everyone else, but when they do it's that one persons Fault. When a black person commits a crime it's because they're black and an entire race gets put down even more.

    For thousands of years, colored ppl hav been treated with less respect.

    I'm white, but I hate seeing/ hearing another person being put down because of the color if their skin, that they DID NOT CHOOSE!!

  • Racist is bad and people do have a right to speak their mind but if i was a store owner i wouldnt have it its just bad business one could lose customers and i think that comes first racist or not

  • Hahaha everyone with colored skin and foreigners helped the women except for the american people dam they are racist and ignorant example was the first couple bastard lied

  • I would love for those who believe that all races are equal to tell me the reasoning behind their belief. It's certainly not based on science, as every single study that has ever been done in the subject would very much disagree with the notion that the races are equal. So, what is it? Is it because it was hammered into your head during your school days? Is it because you know a few good or intelligent black people? It means nothing - on any bell curve you will have exceptional people...

  • Maybe the reason why people treat black people differently is because they ARE different? Statistically speaking black people engage in far more crime per unit of population. Black people also have much lower average IQs than that of other races. Frankly if you believe that the only difference between black people and other races is the color of skin, then you're a tool who never bothered to research and look at the facts. My opinion may be unpopular, but it is truth.

  • @freethinker77 You want to talk about statistics of crimes taken place over the last 30-40 years as a reason for why blacks are "different". Whites have committed some of the most unspeakable crimes against humanity: The oppression and dehumanization of Native Americans, British rule in India, apartheid in South Africa, the holocaust and slavery to name a few. Not to mention the number of serial killers and child molesters who for the most part are WHITE. Your idea of "truth" is a bag of shit.

  • @Missdelicious1 YAWN.

  • OMG this is so sad... Made me cry!!!!

  • I worked in a department store and a supermarket yrs ago - and both managers told us to 'watch out' for black customers. So a lot of stores have unwritten racial profiling policies.

  • plenty of huge whites? that itself proves how fucking stupid you are. obviously im talking about the overall average population you fucking retard. SaffronSugar, what an idiot. lololol

  • Isn't it amazing that n@66er$ are less than 13% of the population and commit well over 60% of the crime! And the libtards say they are just like us!

  • I guess whites need to get it all off their chests now, this is going to be their problem in a few short years.

  • black ppl steal only from KFC

  • Combine effects of statistics, our instincts, and general stereotype which is true, we get this.

  • In my opinion its simple. And its the truth unless someone wants to challenge me.

    Blacks commit FAR more crimes than any other race here in the US. It has never changed for the past 40+ years.

    Why do blacks have such a higher rate? They are poor. They are minorities. They lack education. They have higher testosterone than others. All lead to culminating effect of more crimes.

    Instinctively and psychologically ppl are more afraid of blacks because they are much larger people.

    Combine eff

  • @dkblade27 The sad part is, you say this you'll be called "Racist" Even though its true..The truth hurts.

  • @mamobster1500 no the racism against blacks is propoganda! black people are not naturally criminals, society conditionsthem into it.

  • @CommanderMattShepard I know that.

  • True. Also arrest records only show the bias police.

    ex: bowling alley with bar has bowling league night. Most every person in each league is white. many of the people brought their children and most of the people with children drank beer throughout the evening and some had shots in addition. They would then drive home with the children! Near-by a police car sat point. None of them were pulled over. 4 black people just drove that way and 2 of them WERE pulled over. Bigotry

  • @SaffronSugar so, the civil rights movement unwittingly did not fully succed?

  • @dkblade27 Mr DickBlade27. Your answer is simple because you are simple. The testosterone lie is NO medical fact, the black race make up both the largest AND the smallest people on the planet. Plus there are plenty of huge whites. Black people are arrested for more crimes because they are (that's right..statistically) 5x more likely to be pulled over, arrested questioned or searched and 3x more likely to be convicted of a crime that a white person will be excused from.

    education?

  • @SaffronSugar

    lol youre retarded. medical fact? its common fucking sense you fucking dumbshit. more testosterone results in a more violent human being. the same shit goes for animals you retard. even if they are pulled over 5x more likely, the statistics are still there. the stereotype is still there. its in everybody's subconscious mind. something you cant change.

    you want the truth? cant handle it? go suck a dick lololol

  • im sorry if i was a shop owner i would not let them do their little social experiment. lol

  • completely relateable. i'm black &  this happens way more than it should. stats show more whites shoplift than blacks, but crime is associated with the black race due to media coverage.

  • wow. this was incredible. i'm so glad i watched this.

  • Isn't this more like the bystander effect and less to do with racism?

  • Fuck this I drive a taxi I will not pick a black person at night my experience is they would take off running 80% person the time is makes me a races or person who trying to make it one more day

  • @animal14loco

    It makes you a racist who can't write a sentence

  • it’s so weird i use to watch this program at lot and it was normally women of who would step up and say anything, they feel less afraid! to do so...

  • @almasdp

    They're not afraid to stand alone

  • What I find most mindblowing is that they said 80% of the people did nothing. Only 20 out of 100 people choosing to speak up a situation as tense as that is not a good number. I guess a larger number of people than one would hope are simply more concerned about avoiding a messy situation than stepping in. But it's the few that go the extra distance to actually chime in with some degree support for what happened that really sicken me.

  • Yes, this video made me cry.. Sigh I too am happy for all those who spoke out. So sad that experiments & LOSS OF GOD still has us in such a hateful society, that this is something to even do studies on. Sigh. God please return to the world & especially America. We are headed for some serious backwards ways of thinking if this keeps on.

  • get longer and harsher sentencing for equal crimes as their white counterparts B)white people are given a pass in regards to crime. That's actually shown in another experiment these people orchestrated. How about slavery? The long standing excuse is Africans sold their own. Actually chattel slavery did not exist in Africa. Slaves were the equivalent of servants and had rights. Slavery was not a lifelong position either. Also, the people sold were war captives of other nations so no they didn't

  • @TheGiggles1989

    nice to see an educated comment :)

  • They need to do a social experiment capturing the stupidity of whites that believe everyone should have historical amnesia because anything other makes them feel uncomfortable. Blacks get handouts? Most government assistance from welfare to food stamps to SSI to medicaid to subsidies and everything in between are majority white. Blacks have a higher crime rate and are more violent? Most of the incarcerated are in for non- violent offenses. That's not counting the fact that A)Latinos and blacks

  • MEN! Just respect the people who Defended that woman! So here u see people! Not al white people are Racists! I just loved how the woman cryed for that girl! that just shows us how kind some people are on earth.. they just feel for you! Thumbs up if you Agree!

  • Sorry, but the white woman that came to her defense was British... Based on this video the US is still very much fucked up.

  • @daviely06 you, and the 9 thumbs up people are racist

  • @CommanderMattShepard well im half black ya cunt so i really dont think i am..

  • @daviely06 hahahahahaha pathetic

  • @CommanderMattShepard do the world a favour and lock yourself back in your bedroom, with your xbox and your skyrim.. and never come out.. you sad bastard. calling me racist when im half black myself ya dosy cunt.

  • @daviely06 you reverse racist bastard! just because your half black doesnt mean you can be racist on everybody else!

  • @CommanderMattShepard no such thing as a reverse racist.. racism is racism... to anybody and everybody... and who am i being racist to then.... considering im half white.....

  • God bless the white women who came to her defense (and the black couple, too). I'm a 55 year old white male, and I hope and pray I would step in. The woman who starts crying breakss my heart.

  • "So common, researchers have given it a name... Shopping While Black"

    Good thing we're not paying them to be creative with the names

  • they are doing this experiment in new york city. biggest hoidy toidy uptight city in america, they need to come to dirty jersey and do this. there would be a civil riot in about 20 minutes, and more white people here would have spoken up in rage, or even sided with the security too. we have bigger mouths and tighter fists, and new york knows it.

  • Well in the end she got to have shorter lines when she got her clothes

  • there is still hope, but don't forget that the white race is the least racist...

    HOW WILL people of some other country where, let say majority of people are black or Asian will feel if there president is white??? America and Europe are the least racist place in the world, that is the truth!

  • Comment removed

  • Man if she did that to me I would have punch that bitch

  • the people that didnt help are racist too

  • @sadesfg

    I think you missed the point. The average person doesn't help because they don't want to get involved, not because of race or anything like that. The people that didn't help are looking out for themselves.

    You could call it selfish, but not racist.

  • I've experienced similar things. I've been followed arrowed stores. A few years ago I went to purchase leather gloves and I was followed. I make 60K and dress very well. I have 2 college diplomas. I don't act or dress like a thug yet I get followed.

  • @Thakid002 ur no difference t these racists out there u stupid idot!

  • and one more interesting things? does anyone know about any racism besides the white one ? strange thing. its like only the whites are racist ? I would say the whites are LEAST racist OF ALL. especially because of that germany ' 39 fault complex

  • but you guys still remember that blacks are far more criminal than whites, dont you ?

  • @eshafott that's because black communities are policed more than white communities. check out the video "What Would You Do? Racism in America" and you'll see that it's racism that's producing higher rates of blacks in prisons, not their "criminality"

  • these white HAAAUUUNNKeys

  • man i love this show

  • I didn't say judging, I dont judge people, but no one is innocent in this world so if you telling me u never gave a dirty look to someone that's bull, we all fail at times, like I said I love my best friend she's black and I have lots of friends different race... You know what let's end it here... I dont feel like replying more crap!

  • I'll stay with my comment cause is true... But whatever! BlaH!

  • This nigger didn't seem too ghetto, so that's why she got more sympathy from white shoppers. It's the way black people act (you all know what I mean by this) that creates more racism and resentment from whites rather than simply the colour of their skin. Blacks should recognise this.

  • @garply101 i dont blame you, as pathetic as they may be, your views remain your views, and frankly... no one gives a crap

  • At some point everyone is racist, white with white, hispanics with hispanics blacks and blacks I've seen it a lot! But I'm sick of hearing black people only taking about whites been racist my best friend is Jamaican and she can never stop talking about the slave times lol ... To make this short is that this world will never change because you and my self are racist in some point!

  • @FaBiL0ve You miss the point, having a bond with people from your country or place of birth, or of the same ethnicity is not racism. Racism is treating others negativly based on that. You shouldnt say "at some point everyone is racist" unless you yourself would act the same way certain people in the video did. And even then, you should have just said whats obvious, that you yourself are a racist. Dont drag everyone into your sinking ship just for company and comfort.

  • @FaBiL0ve It's not true, I do not judge people on things that I learnend in history classes. And I know what kind of people you are talking about... people that like to live in the past... I got nothing against white people, but still I get racial comments... so you can't talk like that, unless you know ever black person in the world?

  • I dunno about the rest of the world, but here in Holland you should watch your mouth when talking to a cop or they will fine you 650 EURO (870 USD) for insulting a officer... Racism should be taken more seriously and fined also... The money of the fine should be payed to the victim, this way racism will eventually get reduced to a absolute minimum

  • @xNAILEDxITx But here that unfortunatly cant happen because of freedom of speech

  • @MrsMindless143love Freedom of speech and insulting a individual are 2 different things... especially for kids...

    Do you know how much kids commited suicide because of this? Freedom of speech was meant to protect political views, not racism.

  • @xNAILEDxITx I know that, thats why bullying AND cyberbullying is illegal in 34 states.

  • @xNAILEDxITx You're wrong. If freedom of speech does not protect speech that we disagree with or even find offensive, it protects nothing.

    We as a society and as individuals, though, have a responsibility to stand up to this kind of bullying and use our own free speech and property rights to fight back against it. Someone is being racist in your store, kick them out or fire them on the spot. A store is encouraging racism or has racist employees, spread the news around, shame them, boycott them.

  • @xNAILEDxITx: When our constitution was adopted, slavery was still very much present, so it's a rather laughable position to say that freedom of speech was never meant to protect racism. Freedom of speech was meant to protect basically all forms of speech, with only a few exceptions. Ex: You will get in trouble if you falsely shout 'fire' in a crowded movie theater.

  • How can we contact these people? Someone brought up an interesting point on my FB page, when I shared this; it'd be interesting to see if the same thing happens with a white biker guy.

  • wow i had to laugh when he said he was kicking her out because of loss prevention

  • i really hate the bystander effect. most people can be clueless and idiots, and choose not to get involved. it really pisses me off.

  • I am SOOOO sick of this guy and his social experiments. what's the point? we all know racism exists, most of us are disgusted by it, but enough of the lame "What would you do?" shows. boring, repetitive, and preachy. If someone wants to be a moron racist, yes, it is a shame to the rest of us white people, but everyone who is semi-smart knows they are a MORON.

  • @jb0579 i think the point is to actually inspire people to act next time, I know I'm usually one of these background people minding my own business. Simply knowing it's wrong and doing nothing is what's pointless, might as well not know in the first place.

    It's not just racism either, in London most people would probably walk by attempted rape and just look away -__- Ok that's prolly a bit extreme but you know what I mean.

  • @jb0579 So... you could always stop watching his show, you know? lul .

  • You know the should have added another dimension to this and made it a black or a brown man dressed down and seen a further drop in people intervene.

  • Comment removed

  • As a white person, I have experienced racism from black people. It is not uncommon anymore.

  • @LawMom100 LOL, self pity much?

  • What about the self pity that minorities have? LOL.

  • Turn about is fair play.

  • @LawMom100 Yeah, what's up with that, I mean, over 200 hundred years of slavery couldn't have effected THAT MUCH! Seriously, go to hell. The "racism" you experience isn't racism, you idiot, it's a DEFENSE-mechanism!

  • People like you are the problem nowdays. Black people do not want white people to generalize when it comes to crime and other negative statistics within the black poplulation, and most white people do not want black people to generalize and say that white people were slave owners when most white people during the slave period did not own slaves, this is just one example of minorities generalizing about innocent white people.

  • Many minorities bring up the negative about white people to keep the chuck wagon rolling (handouts in the form of quotas, ect...). It has become a vast money-maker within the educational,federal, private and non-private sector today. Shame on those who continue to bring up this negative past. The Bible tells us "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62).

  • Basically, I am saying... white people that are innocent should not be blamed for the other egregious and horrible actions of whtie people that went before them.

  • @LawMom100 And no, you should never stop feeling sorry, you haven't even felt sorry ENOUGH for the pain and misery you have caused - and America can't even say that they have CLOSED that chapter, and that they now are 100% filled with regret, because people like you, and people like that assface who claimed, that the actor in the video had "used the black card" STILL ARE white, ignorant and SMALL people! 

  • 555FF -"you haven't even felt sorry ENOUGH for the pain and misery you have caused."

    What???? I haven't ever caused pain and misery to black people, unless you believe that by my very existence as a white person, I cause misery. If that is the case, then too bad!

  • she shouldn't be trying to steal things from that store

  • Most white people don't get involved in shit outside in general. Some of the 5% or so of black people who live in upper middle class neighborhoods are the same way. Its about class and environment not race, look up the girl being abducted "bystander effect"

  • This would never happen in real life.

  • just another black propaganda film

  • oh my gosh. this is disturbing

  • Comment removed

  • The other customers should've known this was fake when the actor/salesgirl said "This is kind of an upscale store".

  • psychology is so cool haha

  • Comment removed

  • For the first guy who talked about "playing the black card" something tells me if that was a blond white lady getting discriminated by a black woman he would of jumped right in and defended her.

  • this is so turning me on!

  • I think one of the reasons there's very little response is because This is a high-end store that usually has wealthy shoppers. Such people usually don't get involved with public drama because they are conditioned throughout their high-society lives to keep their composure instead of allowing their tempers to flare vs people from a lower income stature.

  • @EasternMerchant When I went to Liverpool the few Muslim/ Arabic (I'm ignorant so I don't know what they were) people I saw were taunted and harassed. Mostly by some youth but they kept calling them terrorists and telling them that "this isn't your country". Things I've never heard in America. Granted I've grown up in California which is very diverse and liberal so it shouldn't be compared to the southern states. This exists everywhere. By the way, the woman in red is American.

  • I think the fact that study itself is trying to organize people who stood up into groups colored vs non-colored is form of ignorance that rely on racism. More logical would be to say, people with similarities are more likely to stand up for each other under equal circumstances.

  • lol wow.  good stuff for discussion w/ my students. thanks. love it that the guy called it on that couple outside of the store. wtf.

  • Comment removed

  • What would I do?

    Send a prayer up and ask God to help me not lay this woman out!

  • I was in a loosely similar scenario -i was a bystander. I could not do anything for two reasons:

    1. I wasn't there to witness the profiling. I was present only when the "victim" was defending herself. So i could not have known exactly what conspired. In retrospect I think i should've assumed that the profiling was true and the victim was not playing the race card.

    2. I had my priorities (had to leave the library) and this wasn't a life and death situation.

    It is hard to know when to get involved

  • What would I do?

    I would walk away aswel, It's none of my business and that Black Lady can look after herself just as a While Lady can look after herself.

    If she really felt like she was being targeted because of her nationality or whatever, then she could've took legal action. She doesn't need random people to stick up for her to prove they're not racist or anything..

    Mmmhh, sounds to me, this is just another "White Guilt" propaganda!

  • Comment removed

  • the lady that cried... i would ruin that.

  • The women who cried is so cute :D I want to give her a big hug :)

  • What if it was Bunifa Latifah Halifah Sharifah Jackson?

  • The girls at 3:43 are like "He ain't be throwin us out cuz we is class!".

  • It's sad but I've seen this happen a few times. Never knew the name for it, however. People feel that hesitation when around others, feeling people out to see how they should react. Bystander affect has deadly concequences for not helping people. Just like the homeless man that saved the woman and got stabbed, and YueYue who was runover twice.

  • When I'm grownup and get my viking beard I'd gladly step in lol

  • @famileri ...wow.

  • @famileri You are a racist and it completely saddens me when racists, like you, see something like this, and STILL have the nerve to make a racist comment. Karma's gonna come at you like there's no tomorrow.

  • @famileri i wish people like you would just drop off the planet already. we don't need you here.

  • I am not an easy crier but the way the woman in red and the two woman at the end stood up for the black lady got me teary lol!! That was so nice of them to do that...... There are nice people around! :-)

  • @dark4krad haha fag.

  • Ah I love the woman that stood up for her at the end! Warms my heart :)

  • Comment removed

  • This I awful.

  • she said statistically black people rob more than other races. Its true. But u still got to treat them as one of the normal people

  • @roggy12345 Who does the statistic? White. So what are you implying? 

  • @earrth911 well you know its true. I got some real life statistics if u want to hear about it and im not lying or joking.

  • @roggy12345 What stats? The one that proves that the USA, is very racist? If not, don't waste your time replaying me.

  • @earrth911 Well i went to a black school. 500 people in the whole school, 100 in each year. I was there for 5 years. In my year there were 5 non blacks, one being me and the other being my twin brother, im not white either im asian. But its not a coincident that the 5 non black people in the year were in top set all the time. Actually when we finished our GCSE's i was the one that got the highest marks out of everyone, i was the top, but compared to other schools im not really good

  • @roggy12345 You see"on top" that gives some idiot think that is God. So you think because you were on "top of all black people" makes you a better person in this planet?

  • @earrth911 and those black people u know what they like doing? I tell u, Fighting, stealing ghetto life. It was almost like being a "badman" was more important than education which will eventually lead to a good job. No i work for an investment bank. I wonder what the other kids are doing? Actually in my year a couple of the kids got murdered by their own peers. I shouldn't of went there, But my background wasn't rich either. Social black people really do need to change, in UK atleast.

  • @roggy12345 That is very easy but unwanted. Simple, racism feeds nations. So the best way for racists is keeping racism alive. If U.K wasn't so racist then everything would be in the right place. 

  • @earrth911 JEEZ i dont think there is a point talking to you, i said "in top set" not "on top" stupid. There are 4 sets 1st set being the higher level students and 4th set being for the lower level student according to ability. How else do i suppose to say top set? U are bring back some of my memories

  • @roggy12345 Have a nice weekend, starting tomorrow. 

  • @roggy12345 I went to an all white primary school in west London. I was the only black girl there and there were a handful of asians. Most of the whites in my class were thick. You wanna know what 80% of them are doing? They are either on the dole, pregnant, in prison or on drugs. Whereas I have a law degree and solid legal experience and I'm only 24. Btw there is no such thing as "social black people". Get a clue.

  • @beatnik8tv primary school doesnt matter its secondary school or higher i dont believe that u know what 80% of them are doin when they reached 16. but i know only 13%or so of my year got 5 gcses at a-c. i also know a few of my ex friends from there are dead murdered. they all wanted to be a badman and got what they wanted.right now i work in an investment bank but that school ruined my life. my paents only chose that school cos they didnt know english and were naive.

  • the blonde girl that doesn`t even respond to the lady when asked a question really pisses me off...i don`t like violence but i would slap the bleach out of her face

  • @MsSevenstation yea the one at 2.05 really pisses me off too! i hope she watched this video and realised how annoying she is!

  • It's nice to see people with compassion. It slightly restores my faith in humanity a bit

  • LMAO that black guy looks 100 percent like Samuel L. Jackson. he should have shouted, M*therfucker leave that lady alone!

  • @bubbletea8888 Nah he should have shouted "I'M TIRED OF THESE MOTHERFUCKING RACISTS IN THIS GOD DAMN STORE."

  • Its good to know that people actualy care about other people, no matter what there color, religion, or cultural. I'm black and I love all races. I just wish we can overcome all of this racism bull crap. One day we will.

  • I feel sorry for that dude though. He seems like a racist. He could be, he may not be. He was probably just trying to avoid trouble which is what most people do. We just want to avoid trouble even if someone is being mistreated in front of us... sad stuff.

  • @DeeSee25 that did seem like what it was until he said 'she probably played the black card right'? dickheads do play the black card and i've seen it but when racism actually IS happening, ignoring it is one thing but accusing the victim is just pure bullshit.

  • Glad the white woman who intervened was English.

  • "can I try my clothes on now?"

    Lmaoooo

  • @Magnificoooooo

    Wow. Yes, because you're so right, that lady would totally get out a gun, pistol whip the, then steal all their shit. Please.

  • This is just too TVland to even strike me as real. Maybe if some part of the US is still in the 1940s this would feel legit, but in 2011? Come on.

  • I have to say that I am very happy to see that there was this woman, offended enough to even break down. Racism happens every single day in so many ways.

  • if only whites knew what we go threw definitely down in GA i see racist white faces everyday your brought up to deal with shyt like this thats why were so tough i love being black.

  • @MrMarquel18 This would be a valid argument if Blacks weren't just as racist against Whites (and others) as you say Whites are against them.

    Growing up as a white kid in Los Angeles teaches you not to believe the bullshit that blacks aren't racist, cause they fucking are.

  • @WinkyMaeve

    ..? *face palm*

  • 3:30 someone got caught in the act

  • omg! nobody opens their mouth!

  • wtf crying

  • "Sorry guys."

    "It's alright."

    Yeah, you're a douche.

  • Its not only black whites get it too...this is just more media creating race devide..its bad but every race...its people not race there is good and bad in everyone..this is a yuppy store for high end clients ..I went to a store one looking at watches rolex ect dreaming and I was asked to leave..I was angry yes but I calmed down and thought its people not race.

  • @chess747 Yep whites and blacks are totally equal in this country.

    *sarcasm*

  • Thumbs of to the white people that actually said something. Im black and i was both surprised and thankful that atleast a few stepped in lol gives me hope for the rest of the world
