I recently watched a video today, it was very interesting and crazy at the same time. The video was about a lady who goes to people classes doing experiments about racism. She categorize people as blue eyed people and brown eyed people. The blue eyed people are treated as if they are black. The brown eyed people get to have the normal privileges that a white person has. While doing the experiment with the blue eyed people (White people), they were experiencing things that they have never experienced before. They were being called dumb, and were treated as if they were animals. The brown eyed people (Black people), were treated as if they belonged in society, where they had no problems. It was interesting to see how the whites reacted, how quick they got upset and wanted the experiment to end so that they can continue on with their everyday lives. The most important thing I got from the video was that the blue eyed people would be able to walk out of the classroom and everything would be able to get back to normal, they would have all of these privileges. However, the brown eyed would have to leave the classroom and go back into the world and be treated as if they are nothing. One girl made an interesting point. She stated that although they are black, and I am white, that does not mean that we do not have the same hurt or problems. I have to agree and not agree with the statement. The statement was true because white people do have hurt. They do experience alienation, and they do suffer. However,  if that white person did not have any troubles, he would be then seen as normal. Nevertheless, I do disagree, with this statement because a black person can have no hurt in the world, but still be seen as not normal. They will be treated as nothing. I feel that this experiment can be used with males and females. Males would be treated like women and experience the same problems that women would have. I know that after that experience, the men would probably treat the women al lot better than she is treated know. What do you think?
