Know what’s so funny about this? How the blue-eyed White folks know this is an exercise (as in not real life!) and can’t stand taking the shit people of color deal with for a couple of hours before they’re screaming and crying and storming off. They know it’s fake, and they still can’t deal!

Yet these are the people who are supposedly so much smarter than me, so much more reasonable than me, so much more civilized than me!

She. Goes. IN on these white folks. GOES IN.

“I cannot waste my tears for a white woman who knows that this is temporary…. I save my sympathy and my empathy for those who go through this every day of their lives….”

I know that some of you follow me because you occasionally learn something between my awkward personal posts.

I’m sorry this isn’t captioned, but if you’re able to, please watch this, esp. if you’re non-POC.

reblogging to watch when i’m done with my chores.

ahh this is awesome omg everyone needs to watch this old white lady lay it down

BEAUTIFUL.

She’s been doing these social experiments for YEARS. With children and college students and adults and it’s amazing.

They need to do this in every class everywhere.

^^ Everyone needs to watch this.

Oh man, I really need to see this entire documentary (or whatever it is). Seriously, every person should pass through an experience like that.

I remember seeing a video of this experiment, only it was done in England and went on for a whole day. It was very effective; people left with a totally different perspective. One thing I find particularly interesting is how people adapt and conform so quickly to the conditions, yet in different ways. In the English experiment for example, many people in the designated oppressed group quickly became submissive and quiet (with a few who kept complaining/crying/whatever because they couldn’t handle not getting what they want), whereas others in the designated oppressor group took to being dominant quite easily, even developing a mindset in which they expressed clear disdain for the other group.
