This is what we call propaganda.

So obvious it's sickening.

Show Me The Dumb Child

Then watch the next video, "Don't really care what color they have."

So...the message here is white people are the only racist group in America?

Let's be real here.

I suppose. I watched the videos, and that whole thing seemed artificial to me; a fixed experiment. I've seen countless experiments where the black girl is asked which doll she prefers, the black one, or the white one, and everyone knows which one she goes for. Long story short, the message is what you say, just not true though. What's really odd to me is that I've never seen that experiment before, the one with the white kids being asked which child was dumb, I think they either are from the South(Maybe?), or they were pressured beforehand to say so to get CNN a news story, although it's unlikely. These assumptions of intelligence based on skin color aren't inherited, they're learned. Again, I'm a little suspicious of that experiment, something wasn't right there...

Let's be real here.

Ok ;D. White guys aren't the only racist pricks in the U.S.! There!

Yeah they could have provided some context to the video and maybe said how the experiment was done , who the kids were etc.

You want some high class propoganda?

I love their message.

'We're not against smokers or smoking, we're against the smoking industry being evils.'

Of course, cigarette companies are the only ones who do this.

I won't lie to the OP, I didn't watch the videos....but I do wanna comment on your post good sir.

I live in the deep south, which means I live about 100 years behind you folks....we're just now getting electricity.

Anyway, I have met some of THE most racist white people ever. I've met official cross burning clan members who don't realize the civil war is over.

On the other side of the pillow, I've met some of the most racist black people ever down here too. Refusing to serve white folks, cutting them off in line, taking things out of their hands in stores....just terrible hateful kanye west behavior.

So in short, I don't think propaganda is going to influence anyone intelligent. I think rational people will, for the most part, tend to seriously judge people on their actions, not something predetermined like color.

I think it was Matt Parker and Trey Stone who said one fourth of America is retarded, and they're right.

[dudewithashotgun29]

well, for starters, these are children. they tend to shun things that are different then them. I remember when i was a kid in kindergarten, i actually remember liking kids more who had the same eye color that i had. When kids grow older, they become less resentful of differences. I bet if you wait ten years, and ask the kids again, their answers would be totally different. You're talking about children, who's minds have barely developed at all. No one should ever use them as a way to prove a point.

they also said "I hate conservatives, but i really fucking hate liberals"

just saying.

[KidneyThief]

I'm going to have to agree with Jedi-Master and DonnieDonnie here. There was no real context to the videos. They just seemed off. Some elaboration on the project would be nice.

They also said they're going to make their family shoot them when they hit 30.

I think they're not quite stable in the head.

[nakedxbabe]

lets keep this quick and simple.

CNN sucks and has nothing else good to talk about.

next subject please?

[Ranger2]

I think it's a dumb video.
All of the kids there were white, and their responses seemed...artificial. EVERY kid said the child was dumb because she was black? Bullshit.
Kids like being with others that are like them-they haven't learned diversity to as much of an extent as older people.
I bet that if black children the same question they would choose fellow blacks as friends and whites as enemies.

Yeah, I thought some of those responses seemed kind of strange as well. The child at the end was sort of in a groove, but some of the others seemed... embarassed by their own answers? As if they thought their answer was incorrect or somehow wrong? And honestly, the test isn't exactly fair to the kids, or unbiased for that matter. They've given them five pictures exactly the same, with no changes except the skin color and asked them which is dumb. Then asked why.

That would be called leading the witness in court, wouldn't it?

[Elfer]

This is interesting. The test itself is racist because all of the questions contain the implication that personality traits can be derived from skin colour. My guess is that the kids are uncomfortable because they don't feel like there's a right answer, but don't yet know that it's okay to say that.
