"How Racist Are You?" | part 2 | Jane Elliott's Brown Eye-Blue Eye Experiment

Racism is a system of advantage based on race. Do you believe white racism exists? Do you believe black racism exists? How has white racism adversely affected the lives of black people in America? How has black racism adversely affected the lives of white people in America? Black people or any minority race can hate white people all they want but it has no power to impact a whole group of white people.

Centuries of slavery followed by systemic racism—such as sharecropping, black codes, Jim Crow—have acted as "virtual re-enslavement" policies that continue today. The practice of lynching was done by families, women and children, who would smile and grin at blacks being hung, or tied to a truck with their bodies dragged through the streets until the limbs came apart. Although not everyone is traumatized by a particular incident, slavery is not about one incident but a lifetime of incidents.

Teaches about prejudice using a dramatic framework. From Jane Elliot's Peabody Award Winning Documentary. (part2)

I think the problem here was that the participants took this exercise too personal. Some even felt acused of being racists and from here came the need to defend themselves.

Me, my brother and his wife were stop when he was driving us home from a family party. that means there was no drinking and children playing and we drove home at 9. They had no reasons to stop us, my brother was not speeding. But they stop us anyways and after about 10 min they let us go because they didn't find anything wrong. Ohh and yeah we are black!
