Re Racism on Elevator

I find this video to be offensive to white women and it is stereotyping white women in general. As a black man enters the elevator wearing a suit, the white woman is portrayed as being afraid and clutching her purse. We know this would not be the scenario. Now, this is how I would react if someone came over to me in an elevator and it doesn't matter what gender, race, color or religion.

off of youtube??? have you been asleep, how do you not notice all the neo nazi shit on youtube, I agree I'd rather see it all taken down, but take it all down, not just the shit you personally find offensive.

[mia0899cs]

@BigJimbo106 I believe in freedom of speech and I didn't say to take the vid down. However, it's the double standards that I don't like. I'm not racist. I'm fair.

the hell is the matter with you? its a video!!! white women get more benefit of the doubt than black men do. the guy was only making light of it. just sayin.

@JeremyTheGreat11 It's only a video when it offends a white women, right? It's only a comedy when a black man tells the joke?

Lady you need help..

@lokhryu I speak the truth and it's not racist. If you perceive it that way, perhaps you should take a look at how you see things. First off, any man in an elevator will alarm me whether he has a suit or not on. It also depends where it is. If it's in a bldg. where I.D. has to be presented than I don't have a problem. It's called not being stupid.

If you don't like the fact that we black men get angry and /or find it amusing when white women behave that way...

Stop doing it!

[MrFrosty1811]

If the white lady thought it was racist she wouldn't have done the skit..

@wwebadgerse It's funny to you because you have been programmed to take it as just a joke, it is a very clever power-reversal technique. It's been working ever since equal rights and freedom of speech (which I totally agree with btw) was introduced. Black people in general (yes I am generalizing) have been struggling for equal power for so long that they now don't want to stop at equality, they want to take complete power and humiliate the white people in any way they can. Double standards.

@mia0899cs well excuse me miss haven't you ever heard of something called funny......he did it in a funny way not to offend people but to give people something to laugh about.....if a whit dude called me a stupid black bitch id jus laugh cuz he showing exactly how ignorant he is...its different if its in reality but this is just a video for crying out loud......white people steal 2 not jus black jus pointing that out

[wwebadgerse]

You are fucking retarded it's called a joke I'm White, I laughed BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY dumb bitch you put a bad name on whites

compared to what's being argued. With that being said, I feel like white people should be empathetic if not sympathetic to blacks because although it happened in the past it doesn't take away from the hurt. It's a shame if grandpa dies young because he was sick, it's a tragedy if e was beaten to death or hanged.

I feel like it's not a double standard. I mean understand the point being made here, but then it's like the reason why it's offensive when the tables are turned is because of what black people have been through. I mean I still cry about the 14 year old who got executed. I'm at times scared that the KKK is rustling in the bushes (I live in the south btw) . A double standard would be a man who sleeps w/ 20 people and a woman who does the same but gets blamed, this scenario is not to be compared t
