I chose these two clips in my video to demonstrate modern day racism. These clips show how the media and history has altered our view on the color of someone's skin. This to me shows how racism still plays a key role in everyone's daily life, this isn't just something that was affect people during the civil war this is still affecting us now. I chose these specific clips because they were candid camera clips. The first test the ABC group did was have three white boys vandalizing a car in a public parking lot, they were only confronted a couple of times and only two people threatened to do something about the crime. Then they did the same test only with three African American boys. Before the test even started the boys feel asleep in a car and someone called the cops on them saying "that they looked like they were going to rob something and that they want them to keep a close eye on them." Then once the boys started vandalizing the car every person who was walking by stropped them. This showed me that even though we all are made equal many people still do judge someone off of the color of their skin, their race, ethnicity and many other things that Lincoln had tried to eliminate by freeing slaves towards the end of the civil war. This is why I chose these two video clips to back up my statement.
