What Happens When A Black Man And A White Man Try To Break Into The Same Car

The man trying to get into Jason Roberts' car was clearly a professional.
His movements were quick, skilled and evidently practiced. He began to attract the notice of skeptical onlookers. Who was that man breaking into the Mazda? Shouldn't someone do something?
A "professional" was exactly what he was, and, having called AAA for help getting into his locked car, Roberts expected nothing less. He was, however, unnerved by the stares of the people questioning the motives of a mechanic who was only trying to help. Then it hit him -- they were suspicious because, unlike him, the mechanic was black.
Roberts, a host on the YouTube channel Simple Misfits, decided to replicate the situation, this time camera in hand, so that everyone could witness the same unacceptable double standard that he had. He didn't realize how intense the response would be. Watch the video above to see for yourself (warning: NSFW language).

Stereotypes strike again! On one of those "what would you do" shows they showed a man and a hot woman stealing bikes and the woman obviously got away (and even helped) without any trouble.

 

[Doc Savage Fan]

Overweight people are so unfairly stigmatized in our society.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

ROFL please. One guy is unkempt, unshaven, nasty hair, and was wearing a hoodie on a bright sunny day.

Compared to the other guy who is wearing properly fitting clothing and has a kept up appearance.




Let's try this again, but with a messed up ivory kid with dreads, a hoodie, unshaven along with a burnt umber kid in a business suit.



I swear, the sooner you modern progressives stop hunting for racism everywhere you look the sooner we can move on as a society.

That depends, it one of the from Peru?

And in that video the clothing situation was even worse.... Young chick in yoga clothes... Versus kid wearing thugged out clothing.


Had nothing to do with hot, white, or whatever. If you choose to present yourself as a thug (via clothing, behaviour, etc) and you will be treated like a thug. Simple as that.

Plus, they start out with the ivory kid, he spends 20 minutes messing with the car. Likely people are already calling the cops.

Then they put the burnt umber kid in, right on queue as the cops show up to arrest the ivory kid.


Ivory kid acts like he's supposed to be there, doesn't look around, looks innocent.

Burnt umber kid is constantly looking around suspiciously.


They got the results they wanted!

From what I've heard, they moved the car to avoid that issue.

But I also read that they moved it to an area that's more heavily patrolled.

Meh, unscientific test is unscientific.

Psst, both were unshaven. Seems you have something against black hair against brown skin.

Mussed hair. Unshaven. Oh, but his fitted pants make all the difference? Let's see what SpatiallyAware has to say about that...

A concerned neighbor has EVERY legal (and moral/social) right to ask some thug WTF they're doing in the neighborhood.

They can call the thug an up to no good asshole, thief, demand to know where they live, who their parents are...... Even follow them from a distance to see exactly where they go.....

Clean-shaven. Athletic build. Mil-spec haircut. Fitted pants.
"Thug that should raise white peoples' suspicions."

 

[crashtech]

I guess in terms of dollars, old white guys in suits are the biggest thieves the world has ever seen. I say we string the old bastards up preemptively.

Both are unshaven.

The "hoodie" guy has an extremely lightweight unzipped jacket over a tee shirt. The other guy simply has a tee shirt.

Nasty hair? It's just a different style.

The only nasty thing is your dumbass comments in this thread.

Same exact issue.

Ivory guy has well-fitting neutral color clothes, is acting like he belongs and knows what he's doing.

Burnt umber guy has sagging pants, baggy bright red shirt, and is acting suspicious and out of place.

False

One guy has a clean-cut maintained short beard.


Other guy is too lazy to shave, an indication that he doesn't have a job. How does he make his money? Looks like a thief.




You are treated how you choose to dress and act.

"Acting Suspicious and out of place" = you meaning a black kid in a white neighborhood.

White guy doesn't look all that much different than the white guy in terms of clothing, down to the sideways turned hat. But even if you switched clothes, you honestly believe the result would be different (this is a rhetorical question, because we know you're an idiot racist)? Both the white kid AND black kid basically tell people they are stealing the bike and the white kid is left alone, clothing REALLY shouldn't matter.

Edit: video reminds me of the time when i worked in retail in college, white girls could get away with shoplifting (even those who weren't that pretty, unlike the girl in the video) just by crying when loss prevention caught them.

One guy is looking at what he's doing. He doesn't care about who is around him or who sees him.

Other guy is constantly looking around... Looking to make sure he doesn't get caught.


Yes, I absolutely believe that if both dressed the same AND acted the same you would get a similar result.

And you are the perfect example of why you don't.

No shit the black kid is' 'looking around', white people are running up to him screaming at him, eyeing him suspiciously, taking his picture, calling the police, that's what you're looking at.



Again, BOTH of them admit they're stealing, you idiot.

Edit: That and the fact that they're both using tools that are obviously meant for stealing.

 

[SpatiallyAware]

Ok, answer this; why do you think people react differently?


If it's not due to their obviously different clothing and behaviour, then what exactly is the reason?

Skin color. AGAIN, any differences you PERCEIVE fly out the window when they admit to passerby's that they're trying to STEAL the bike.

 

[Phokus]

Next, spatiallyaware is going to tell me that if that pretty white girl was wearing the exact same clothing as the black kid, that white guy wouldn't have helped the pretty white girl try to steal the bike (KNOWING that she was trying to steal) and would have called the cops on her, rather than the more obvious explanation that the white guy couldn't control his libido in front of a pretty white girl.

Why would people be more suspicious of a black man appearing to steal a car than a white man?

And what about the black lady that said "young white men don't usually carry burglary tools" Then the host says "So we all make assumptions huh?" She says ya, and then her friend says "Maybe he works for the park".

Also the first lady that stopped when the black kid was at the bike was now stopping other people and telling them to call the cops because he was stealing the bike. Had she not done that would all those other people stopped and questioned what he was doing? Had she come across the white kid doing the same thing and stopped people telling them to call the cops, I bet the scene would have looked very similar.

Because it's not like racists would all of a sudden be ok with his presence if he wasn't trying to steal his bike.

Yes, some blacks hold positive racist feelings for whites.

But LOL @ your second point, i see you're throwing your hat in the wing with the rest of the racist right on this sub. There were others who confronted him without that lady calling to his attention, you twit. AGAIN, you idiot moron, the white kid ADMITS to stealing the bike to other passerbys but nobody does a damn thing.
