Some of these comments are exactly why this experiment needs to exist. You all have assumed that, because someone is black, they have these negative qualities, and that's what she's trying to point out. You're not seeing a person, you're seeing "those people." Also, the effects of being treated this way for generations can create the "bad attitudes and apathy" that you're complaining about. How can you miss that?

I get it, shes not saying that they are racist. What she is saying is 'I want them to know how it feels'

[Mark Daniel]

I like her too they dont make them like that any more. I love Jane Elliot.

It's not even an idea of "racism," it's more like the idea of "i'm better than you" which doesnt always have to do with color of skin

HAHAHAHA. these white people in this experiment are so dumb. they can't deal with being treated as a second class for TWO HOURS!! while it's something that black people go through EVERYDAY OF THEIR LIVES... fuck that dude and that lady.

I think this woman is amazing. She's honestly wonderful. This is the greatest way of making people learn.
