This is true and sad. Every now and then I take offense when the race card is pulled out. I think a lot of white people of my generation have a gut reactions to shrug off racism in certain situations because if someone gets accused of racism when it's not necessarily the case, that could be me. Like in this video... the people calling the police on the vandals are probably not racist. But seeing the video, it's hard to deny what happens.
I think young people often see racism as something that belongs to older generations, and to see another person be pigeon-holed as racist can feel unfair, even if the person does something that is a symptom of racism, like in this video.
It's very much the same with the gender card. I can feel offended by aggressive feminism and feel the need to nuance whatever argument is put forth. This is a pretty unsophisticated personal reaction that comes from not wanting to be the bad guy, plain and simple. When this happens in a discussion, it's an ugly thing because obviously women and black people have it harder in today's society compared to the white man. But the ego wants to distance itself from all that because, hey, it's not me, and also it's not that bad anymore, so I'm tired of hearing of it. That's an insensitive reaction, mostly for lack of reflection.
It's something to be aware of. Being offended that someone gets offended is a manifistation of self-righteousness that's probably best to leave behind.
Old dude sounded like Larry David.

All they would say is, had they witnessed the White kids doing it (instead of the Black kids) they would have still called the police.
The problem is, you get plausible deniability and there isn't really anything you can do to prove otherwise.
The only proof we have is the starkly different reactions (in the same neighborhood) to the same incident.

White male: hmmm. Must have lost his keys.
Black male: omg! career criminal in my neighborhood!!
White female: oh a bike thief! How cute! Wonder if she needs a hand?
I haven't seen this one and I thought I saw all there was to see on YouTube.

It's so much nicer to see a video uncovering racism with a calmer, less suggestive tone.
I believe on an interpersonal level, that type of racism is best met with tolerance and love
What do you mean? How is this calmer? The people surrounding the black guy weren't calm at all.
I was PISSED watching the difference with the white guy and the black guy. Then I just laughed and rolled my eyes watching the guys helping the lady out. Something else.

They should've put an attractive black woman in there just to get an even broader picture.

That was very painful to watch. We still have a long way to go. This video perfectly demonstrates the cowardice behind some racism and also illustrates generational transference of racist beliefs

In future experiments, the sets of teens should both be wearing the same clothes
Schattenjäger;47223174 said:
You know, you're right. Clearly, based on everything we know about American history and culture, the minor differences between the clothing worn by the different sets of teens makes a much larger difference then the color of their skin, or the fact that some of them were vandalizing a car and the others were sleeping.
You're being goddamned ridiculous.
Schattenjäger;47223174 said:
Hey assholes, are we going to keep ignoring THE BLACK PEOPLE WHO GOT 911 CALLS BECAUSE THEY WERE SLEEPING IN THEIR OWN GODDAMN CAR?
This is what happens to racism. People ignore it, push it away, accuse victims of playing the race card.
Fuck you people that think this way.
That kind of attitude helps nothing. Anger and hate is where racism comes from in the first place. You should want that person to become enlightened instead of condemning them.
"Let's not address the problem, let's bitch about the people who want people to address the problem."
The attitude that he is angered over is FAR more toxic, however.
They were alseep in their own car. They had the cops called on them.
Why?
This is par for course with Schattenjäger when race is being discussed.
I doubt anything any of you say will change his outlook on race at this point. Don't waste your breath
I can't say that I know who Schattenjäger is or if what you say is true but I will work under the assumption that it is not. Besides, he is not the only person reason responses to his post.
I was reading an article on pedophiles and the internet and I thought what was most interesting thing about the article is how the man in jail spoke about how the other men he met online turned his taboo hobby into a somewhat normal thing. Since they were all getting acceptance for each other from their sick hobby.
So I think the internet plays an important role on the "hidden" racism we see all around us that isn't becoming so silent anymore. You've seen all the racist tweets? I don't really know how to explain this or where I'm going with this... But I think that not here but elsewhere on the internet like youtube, twitter and other social media sites (without white knights) grow this racism that most teens come in contact with and start to portray.
I remember when I was growing up in the 90's- late 2000's I didn't see (or maybe I was just an ignorant kid growing up) this much hate among any minority as I do now. But who knows.
He thought Romney's birth certificate joke was fine and not based in race at all. He then called Obama classless for maybe saying something he interrupted as a blow job joke.
He also posted a thread asking why us blacks weren't offended by Biden's chains comment when we are so offended by some of the racist nonsense from the republican party
He posted this in Slay's thread:
This had shit all to do with the thread.Schattenjäger;47125130 said:
It seems he likes to make racism comparisons whenever possible.
While I would love to see that happen I have to guess that we wouldn't see black people calling the police on white people sleeping in a nearby car
Honestly I can see one of two things happening. Since no one would reconkize the care, the people will just steer clear of them. Or they will get confronted and told to get the hell from around there.

*rolls eyes* "get a grip on how the real world works"
Dear lord.
I had something of an eye-opening experience when I was pulled over while riding as a passenger with a black friend. I've been pulled over on two other occasions (speeding!), and while one of them had been thoroughly unpleasant, this felt very different. I think the thing that struck me the most, aside from wasting an hour of our time for a traffic stop that was little more than an excuse for a fishing expedition (they suspected we had drugs in the vehicle because one of the headlights was out and we were acting "suspicious" because we were fidgeting while talking to them... in 20 degree weather. Idiots.), was how my friend was acting; in particular he would announce his moves before he made them, such as saying that he was taking his wallet out of his pocket or something along those lines.
I guess it sounds silly to say, but it's something where I knew in the abstract that black people have different experiences when getting pulled over than white people do, but until I actually saw how much more ridiculous it was even for something that was more tedious than anything else, I don't really think I understood it.
I think they are.

What point are you trying to make here?
Depends on what you mean by "black neighborhood". If you mean an urban setting with lots of abject poverty and crime, then you're hardly talking about the same experiment anymore, where all other factors besides race should be equal. Black people make up around 12% of the population, so I gotta think finding a similar suburban setting that is as predominantly black as this neighborhood is predominantly white would be a challenge.

He announced those things because he was fearful of the police making assumptions and acting accordingly. He may have had a previous bad experience with the police.
You do know a guy was shot several times in NY for having a wallet that the police "mistaked" as a gun, right?
Serious question, after reading what you typed above, how can you honestly believe this to be true?

Would there be 911 calls on the white kids and not as many as the black kids?
A lot (all) of these videos are "go into white neighbourhoods and show how racist white people are".

You seem to have a knack for injecting the racism angle into anything.. All those points you made had all to do with politics and nothing to do with racism ..
and what exactly is wrong with my "white girl" comment? Do tell.
and having them both wear the same clothes eliminates another confounding variable.. When performing experiments, one should try include as much scientific control as possible

I think in an equally affluent, predominantly Black neighborhood, you would likely see phone calls to the cops in both instances.
You would likely not get them calling the police because 2 White guys were sleeping in their own car.
Just a guess though.
