A Class Divided

In 1968, a day after the assassination of Martin Luther King, an Iowan school teacher conducted an experiment in discrimination with her 3rd grade class. Please watch this in its entirety with your children. It could explain to many of us why we are where we are and that behavior is directly related to treatment. You can either watch it here or go to Frontline and watch it (my recommendation).

wow..I never thought to associate the way we were treated by white people to blacks behavior today..I guess when you are labeled and treated as outcasts for years and years and years you will eventually lash out, or conform to the stereotypes! I thank you for that eye opener..lol
