    Charged more for cars???

    I never heard that one that's crazy.

    I'm naming my children names that are unmistakably Black …

    That whole "don't name him that he'll never get a job" thing is weak.

    Many of us were already aware of this unfortunate reality, so all the cited studies did were confirm it. The sad part is even in the face of evidence, whites will still deny their white privilege.


    FYI this tidbit from the video:
    White legislators did not respond as frequently to constituents with black sounding names - in both political parties.

    Is pretty damning to the typical, oft-repeated rebuttal of "there are peaceful and more productive ways of expressing your concerns, like talking to your local legislators..." in response to more radical approaches.

    .

    Found this video on that ? ass buzzfeed. The white people on the comments were pretty shocked and were like " man it's 2015, let's end this"

    The only reason to why they had compassion was because the video was shown by the feminist whites at buzzfeed.

    Let worldstar put that up and its propaganda.

    They know that "they" are the only problem to why racial discrimination exist.

    Good post.

    I have always said that when you take all of these and other studies together, there can be no doubt that racial discrimination remains alive and well. You almost have to be willfully obstinate to be doubtful in face of all these studies.

    These sorts of studies should be more widely disseminated.

    Studies show that white women pay more for cars too.

    You don't have to look any farther than the comments section of that video to see that the bold is true.

    Just today I was walking behind a white guy and he darted like tom cruise to the right into his building destination as the door closed and didnt looked back not holding the door or nothing.
