So what you're saying is it has to be a hoax because they handpicked three articulate African Americans for their show?

I've seen this and read somewhere it was all staged unfortunately. I'm losing more and more faith in these "feel good" videos floating around.
Racism is alive and well, and it's not white on black racism either. I won't go into details about crime rates and statistics as anyone can find that out via a simple Google search. However I will say that history repeats itself.

I'm sorry but these kinds of videos are ridiculous. They act like the white woman had no idea there was a whole camera crew in the shop. It's like these television programs are set up for people with the mindset of 10 year olds.

Let me put it this way- for over 15 years I have a job where I work with the public. On an almost daily basis there is a scene where a patron gets upset or angry about something and one of us (my colleagues and I) has to "handle" the situation. Experience tells me that when there is a spontaneous, emotionally charged situation it is extremely difficult for your average human being to try to address the matter without getting flustered and struggling to find the right words, let alone give a beautiful, articulate speech. And it has nothing to do with race.

I read that it was all staged (including the "reactions") in attempt to create a viral video. (Which it did.) I don't recall who was behind it, but it was a firm that specializes in "viral feel good videos".
So yeah, not biting on this one at all. Sorry.

The video was posted already by Spider. It's staged.

You obviously don't have the cognitive capability of a ten-year-old. Of course the white woman knew about the cameras. She was part of the skit. The experiment was to see if the patrons would speak up. If you're trying to say the camera crew was in plain sight, there are such things as hidden cameras. It kind of scares me to know so many people like yourself frequent this site.edit on 15-12-2013 by stopbeingnaive because: (no reason given)
Damn, you beat me to it....
I hope there isnt many like him here....
A good experiment, and a good result.
A refreshing view of your average African American, cool, calm, collected and educated.
"man, thats ignorance, and i don't deal with ignorance"...
