Yup. You are indeed a racist. Can you think for one second that anyone needs to fear a business man in a suit? (OK, well, maybe an ExxonMobil executive.)
Seriously, does the man in this (obviously staged) video look dangerous to you? Is it your survival instincts that make you afraid of him? Or, will you stand up and admit that you do have pangs of racism, at least from time to time, and this is clearly one of them?
Unless we can see the woman’s reaction in the elevator when a white man gets on, how do we know her reaction is racist. She may react exactly the same way. Obviously racism exists but perceived racism may make the problem seem much worse than it is.
Question:
What do you call a person who deliberately targets and frightens someone representing an innocent group that they harbor imagined grievances and resentment toward?
Fusion, Post 19, you are right he is a racist and a terrorist. Grow up and quit watching Sesame Street. It’s a dangerous world. The people that made that video are quite prejudiced and are stereotyping a group of people. Some folks can’t learn from the past to make things better for all.
Misguided Scott, Ted Bundy, remember him? ANYBODY can be dangerous.
So because one person did something everyone should be afraid that race?
So everyone should be afraid of groups of four or five men and women, they might be another group of Manson followers.
Everyone should be afraid of Koreans. Yup, one shot up Virginia Tech.
White students wearing black coats? Yup, you remember Columbine.
Southern red neck deputies? Hey, don’t forget how many blacks were lynched.
Oh, and Indians. Ya, the Battle of the Little Big Horn. And Mexicans, shit, the Alamo anyone?
You see, moran, you want to blame a whole group of people for the misdeed of just one or a small group. That is what makes a racist and you now qualify.
#29 “So because one person did something everyone should be afraid that race?” (and other meaningless comments)
A United States Department of Justice report homicide statistics between 1974 and 2004 52.1% of the offenders were Black, 45.9% were White, and 2% were Other Races.
So, a group that represents 11% of the population commits over 52% of the murders.
Whatever. As a black man, I take offense at this video as being racist propaganda. People read your face, your smile and your personna before they get down to skin color. Okay, not every white person, but good grief…
#32 – Worse the door never closed – (or the elevator is 12 feet deep). Plus they were not alone if you consider the cameraman.
#1 – Where is Chuck Norris when you need him the most??
#30 – If a group commits nearly 5 times the homocides one would expect from their share of the population – then the remainder of the population is justified in their personal safety concerns and has every right to be prepared to protect themselves.
#33 is most right of all. Realizing the statistically justifiable concern of whites being vitimized by blacks, the whole situation could have been diffused with a bit of diplomacy – perhaps by simply introducing himself: “Hello my name is Barak and I’m a community organizer for this elevator……”
It exists, I have been here myself! The main source resulting to this problem is that the Media misrepresents reality; each individual carries their characteristics, no two men are alike.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#20, Cow-Paddy,
Which is why you are a racist.
#20 – Paddy,

#23 “Yup. You are indeed a racist.”
There is only one “race” of humans… So, I’m pro homo sapiens, yes, a racist.

Figure out the rest yourself…
Awesome video. if I were a teacher i’d show it to my students.
If I was that white beotch I would be freaking out. That loon is talking to the door , as if addressing an audiance!
Whatever. As a black man, I take offense at this video as being racist propaganda. People read your face, your smile and your personna before they get down to skin color. Okay, not every white person, but good grief…
I agree. That guy couldn’t look any more harmless.

Some of you are assuming she would have felt safe if the guy was white. Maybe and maybe not so drop it in the sewer.
I thought that was Prince on his day off.
Women fantasize about men in elevators, just the tall attractive italian looking men wearing muscle shirts, not your ugly ass.
I don’t think anyone would be afraid of this guy. He appears to be four feet tall and is dressed like a proper little irish gentlemen.
I think his perception that he is striking fear into women everywhere he goes is wishful thinking.
Poor misunderstood black man.
