YouTube - Black or White something to think about

youtube.com - After reading some posts regarding people being racist or not, not admitting being racist, and everything in between I thought of this video.
It can be very sub conscious. I think many people truly believe they are not racist, even though decisions they make are influenced sub consciously.

    Thank you for posting this information. It may make some people look into themselves and their motives. I know some of what I have read on here has been totally racist by people insisting in several groups and on several posts that they are not racist. Quoting Shakespeare "Me thinks they doth protest too much!"

    I think racism is a very subconscious thing for people. Most know that racism is a negative term so they don't want to come out and say I'm racist, so they talk in big 'ol circles trying to get around it and it's so sad.

    I want to try this experiment with my daughter. Of course I don't think she would chose a "better" doll she would probably just want both of them, LOL but I want to know what her subconscious has picked up in her 3 short years. I'll let you know what she chooses:)

    that is sad. but the youtube comments never bother me - they're mostly 13 year olds just trying to shock. i really think the majority of the idiotic comments there aren't what those people truly feel. or, maybe that's just what i tell myself :)
