Offensive or Hopeful?



Class,
Is this video racially aware or racist? Why do you think so?

  1. I do not, personally, think this video is racist, but some people might not like it, because it is not "politically correct". Also, I believe these people know their audience and there could be a history of racial tension or issues with their store or their area.

  2. I don't think it is racist, just racially aware. I believe this because they are not saying anything bad about black people or white people they are just stating facts. Also, I agree with Derek when he said that these people know their audience. It is a little extreme but I don't think its racist.

  3. I think that this video is racially aware, because it isn't discriminating against a particular race. It is just letting the viewers know that blacks and white are all equal. There is no furniture only fit for a certain race.

  4. I agree that this video is not racist, just racially aware. The video does not say anything negative about white or black people, but simply shows that both the whites and blacks in this video like the furniture store. Although I believe the video is a bit extreme with the mentionng of races multiple times, I don't think that it is racist.
