not a single black person tried helping either child 💀

I am black and something like this happened to me in the 80s. I remember a white lady and her young son did help me. Kindness can be found everywhere.

imagine someone helped the black kid but then that part got cut out 💀 💀 💀 Edit1: *I’m just saying my opinion about the video*

Even the Black people didn’t help the black girl

Strange that even Blacks ignored her. This actually tells something which is beyond racism.

If I was there, i would ignore both of them.

The little dark girl didn’t seem out of place but the white girl really did. Is that my own racism at work. I’m also black.

Even the black ppl didn't try help either of them.

As an Indian who lives in Germany🇩🇪 i can confirm that iam facing racism from black people more than white people...

A man would be seen as a creep if he tried helping either.

That's not racism. That's people minding their business because a lot of times if people stopped to say something to a black child there's some black woman or some black man acting all crazy talking about get away from my kid. That is not racism.

It couldn't be that there's any reason why unattended black children is not a surprising sight to people, right? 🤔

Not one black person stopped to help either child.

Wow not a single black person stepped up for the first child.

I'm a 63 year old black man and social test MORE White people greeted me than black people, But still in the NAACP, We ought to be ashamed of ourselves

Ok what about all the black people that passed by ignoring the black kid, are they racist too?

What we have: -The black girl looks older. Her height is much higher. She is practically sitting on the fence. She has a confident posture. -Black persons don't approach either girl.

Blacks didn’t help black child Whites came to help white child. You’re not talking racism, you’re talking culture

This video has nothing to do with B---people in general. It has to do with two children with different skin colours, and the general public only gravitated toward helping one child, and not them both.

Little white girl seems even younger, so it might explain something.

not a single black person tried helping a black or white child

That's not a race issue, it's a culture issue.

As Japanese who lives in 🇩🇪 i can confirm that i'am facing racism from blak people more then white people

dont blame white for this, help your own race before you blame someone

This should never happen to any child.

That made my heart hurt. People of colour also ignored her.

English: Dragon 🥰 Germany: Drachen 😎 Malaysia/Indonesia: ☠️

I hate this type of society

A couple of points here. 1. This appears to be in Latin America, blond hair stands out a lot more than brown hair so it draws more attention, and seeing a small blond child that looks like a foreigner makes you instantly think she might be lost. 2. Not a single person of color stopped for either girl. It is actually quite common for young kids to be alone on the streets in many countries and this girl probably looked local so didn’t alarm anybody. Context is super important, don’t jump to conclusions without knowing any of the details. Not saying racism doesn’t exist because of cause it does, just saying you tend to find what you are setting out to see, whether it’s there or not.

I think it's more prejudice than racism - because even the black folks didn't stop to help the black kid.

This was done in a Latin American country where a blonde white girl would be very noticeable. Do the same experiment with Asia countries with an Asian girl & a blonde white girl. I bet you will get the similar result!

That pisses me off I’m a Republican Latino in Idaho & even tho I’m light brown gorgeous 😅That I would ask her if she needs help like that has me just mad an cry for the indoncity. The word means a city that avoids a person of need of help that mostly doesn’t from the color of their skin. Just hides their racism so they don’t seem a person with hatred

Not a single black person stopped for the black kid either 💀

To be fair, as a black person I wouldn’t have stopped for any child unless the child vocalized to me or aloud that they needed help or were in distress. I’m a grown man, I’m not just gonna take some child’s hand and go around walking with them looking for they mommy and daddy. That’s an easy way for the situation to get confused and for me to get in trouble

I would never confront any child standing alone in a mall or shopping center unless they looked upset or panicked.

I’m mixed and lost my dad in the store a lady who looked like my mom helped me find him it’s sad to see some ignore innocents

Come on guys, those black people also ignored that black girl.

A child is a child, no matter how much melanin is stored in their skin cells. If I saw a child standing alone for an extended period of time, I would ask if they need help, regardless of how they look.

This treatment can be seen in schools. Children begin internalizing self-worth, confidence, etc at a very early age. They then project it out. Watch the confidence of a dark or tan girl in a social environment and then watch the confidence of a girl with fair skin and blonde/ light hair. Its important to tell your child, they are important, beautiful, and loved but It's important not to compare though.

A beautiful child is a beautiful child with a heart, soul, and mind. It matters not skin color. Open your eyes and heart to caring and compassion.

0 black person helped either child. Ppl are just horrible these days, no racism needed.

This doesn’t explain racism if black people are also ignoring the black girl.

I beg to differ...this is stereotyping and not racism

This video is contributing more to racism than it's trying to solve it, especially in the states.

This is the America well known by millions of its citizenry.

Not a single black person helped either child, that’s the real racism. Epic fail.

I would simply ignore both of them.

People in general don’t want to get involved. Can get in trouble for helping. Nope. I would tell a police officer to help them or call 911 myself.

Oh that breaks my heart. As a mom I do a double take when I see a kid alone and have stopped to ask where thier grown up is. All babies are precious.

No black person stopped to help that kid.

Im not a human.....im a lego person

someone (I forget who) accurately said racism can often be as benign as a lack of empathy, this clip definitely embodies that there are even studies done in healthcare that suggest the same

The black kid looked like she was waiting. The white kid looked lost. Bigggg difference.

The obsession to keep race baiting alive in our society is disgusting.

Put 5 Black kids at a McDonalds and the cops tell them they have to move along. Put 5 white kids and not one cop stopped. That was actually a test someone had done.

I am black and when i was 4 or 5, my brother was lost and a white woman helped him and gave us hersheys and we we're happy

if it's racism then why did her own kind ignore her.

Even people of color ignored her. Self hate goes deep

One of the factors behind this is the visual appearance of blonde or blond hair. We associate it with being very young because even with people with dark brown hair, they were possibly blonde as a child. So in a sea of adult stage darkened hair, a dark haired child blends in where a blonde head stands out.

First little girl looked relaxed. The other one on the verge of tears. As a consequence, nobody (no matter their complexion) stopped to ask to the first girl whether she was okay.

How is it racism when black people walked past her. She obviously looks older and very confident like she was waiting for someone

You're right. None of the black people walking by stopped to check on either child...

Notice the colour of all the people who did help

Father God help your children 🙏🏽 We are a wicked generation. Please, God, keep your holy and righteous hands on us daily.....🙏🏽

That is not racism. One could be a teenager being almost a foot taller and is standing up straight looking forward. The other looks like a tiny lost and scared child scanning the crowd for help. This is so manipulative. By the way, it is also proof that racism exists - whoever set this up to perpetuate racism

The fact that no black person tried helping either child really gives the title a whole new meaning lol

I feel like they showed less footage of the black girl, maybe one minute so it looks like she was ignored the entire time. And then the blonde girl stood there for an hour and was approached just like the black girl but more footage is shown, or only the moments when someone approached her.

I know this is a social test, but unfortunately it's pretty accurate. Unfortunately though, in the cities, it's very uncommon for little Caucasian and Asian girls to be seen alone, hence why people are often quick to act. For little darker skin girls though, too many times their parents often let them wondering alone, so the public automatically comes to the conclusion that they are ether With or Waiting for someone, if not, their parents clearly don't care. Another real example was when my 2nd brother, at thr time he was 4 years old(now 29yrs) decided to sneek off to the park without telling anyone. The whole damn neighborhood(and Cops) was looking for him, while my mother went into shock, and I was still at school, so I didn't know anything till later. They found him at the playground, still playing. About 20+ years later, my Hispanic(Ecuadorians) neighbors had a similar incident where their daugther walked off their property and made her way to the Dollar Store. The neighborhood was round up, but nobody actually put in the effort, because those kids are always running around the area unattended, and again, I wasn't home when all this transpired.

I know people have stopped for that first girl as well.. Media just doesn't wanna show you that to embrace RACISM..

The same attitude is prevalent when a Black or Brown child is missing. Little to no media attention. If a White child goes missing, the media is all over it. This video should be a PSM during prime time. Often.

It’s best to keep a good eye out for children because there are predators out there. However, this footage hits me like a truck at full speed.

Dont let Instagram reels see this 💀💀💀

All of these people have been educated and socialized by systemic racism and unconscious bias. Thanks for the powerful example of Racism.

Younger child, as well. The first child looked confident..like she was there with a purpose (waiting?), while the second child looked lost.

Instead of saying, "this is racist" maybe its better to promote love. This just divides people.

Moral of the story-Be Blonde

The Black people that walked pass the girl should be ashamed of themselves as well.

Because she’s more out of place. The other kid didn’t immediately stand out

This is the invisibility of true racism

I'm a grown ass dude and this nearly brought tears to my eyes. I have biracial children and grandchildren who would all be considered black. This is our painful reality. We have to do better as a society.

They did not expect this comment section 💀

This is not an example of a racism, but of culture

"It's not about race. it's about culture" - Denzel Washington

She is very bold and stood straight... It increased her confidence level.. That's y no one approached her.

This is both very powerful and heartbreaking. I'm a white man, but I can guarantee you that I will fight for all who are victims of racism and bigotry.

Beauty is a power. Beauty= good person.

This is not recism. This is called humanity

To be fair the second child looked way younger and looked lost while the first one seemed confident and uncaring making it appear she knew where she was

Black people also ignored her That's not racism

If nothing else it does say something about privilege. I've met more than one blonde good-looking person, male or female who get all the attention and all the benefit of the doubt in any situation and then think everyone else can do the same. Understanding privilege is understanding not everyone gets the same experience and some of it is out of their control. As a below average height brown hair brown eyed white appearing male I can blend in and fly under the radar very easily, which I appreciate in some situations. In some situations that can be a privilege. It's really just about empathy and not blame for others situations and experiences.

That isn't racism that is people being conditioned to be used to seeing a black child in an urban area with poor supervision.

not a single black person tried helping either child 💀 I think it's a problem of morals and values rather than racism

I was at the park. I had my best friend's daughter on the swing set while Mom was watching her boys practice football. (We're all white.) Little black girl, about 8, was caught up in a tree. She was crying, screaming for her Mom who was talking to another Mother, not paying any attention to her daughter. After looking at the mother and realizing she was going to be no help I asked, what's the matter little girl, do you need some help? I don't remember, but she must have said yes. I reached up, put her knee in my hand and pushed up to free her from the branches that had trapped her knee and set her on the ground. She then ran off to her mother. One act of kindness. That's all it takes.

30 years ago, our church youth group went to Mexico to minister to the poor people in a small town. They gave out food, clothes and preached the gospel to the poor. They were moved the number of children living in poverty that they decided to smuggle some of them in the church buses back to the US. They took pictures while they were there and I noticed a few of the children looked white. When the youth group came back to the US, I noticed that they only smuggled the children who looked white and left the dark skinned children behind. It was clear to me that there is racism even in Christian churches.

Should be retitled "SYSTEMIC racism explined...' since black folk were also walking past her.

This goes far beyond racism.

The black girl looks older and taller 😅 My first impression was that she was waiting obediently. I don't feel the same about the other girl; the blonde girl looks very young and foreign.

This feels like more of a humanity experiment because not one human is even asking her if she’s ok or where her parents are.

That’s not racism. That’s white people not want to get screamed at by Black people for approaching a little black girl.

I bet there were people who approached the first girl but they were edited out of the video.
