this
is a black baby and this is a white
baby they're identical the only
difference
is the skin color
in the 1940s a university professor
showed young black kids these two
baby dolls and asked them a simple
question
which baby doll is ugly and which
baby doll is beautiful the black kids
answer
is not what you would expect in fact
their answer made people cry
which doll is the ugly dog
[Music]
but first back up a little bit we all
know the world is full of racism
you can see it everywhere but here is
the crazy part
when there is so much racism at some
point
it gets into our own head and we start
to believe that if for example
black is bad and i am black
then i am bad
this is what they said which doll is the
ugly doll
why is that doll ugly because he
because he's black from which doll is
the bad dog
and why is that dog pretty because
he's white and you have two eyes
this should make you sad but not
surprised
according to researchers this is
expected
behavior by three months old babies
can tell one race from another by two
years old
they can stereotype since
we are born we learn to love our own
race
or to hate it i know how it feels
because
i felt it too i grew up thinking i'm not
good enough i am an arab on tv
i'm the terrorist in movies i kill
people in popular culture
i am the primitive desert man so i
started to think
this is not beautiful and this is
beautiful
this is successful this is rich this
is peaceful and this is not
show me the mean child
okay why is she the mean child because
she's way darker
i just don't like the way brown
looks cause the rainbow looks
looks really nasty for some reason but i
don't know what we did
getting rid of self-hate is not
easy albert einstein once said
what a sad era when it is easier to
smash
an atom than a prejudice
it is easier to break an atom into two
than to break stereotypes about a
certain race
or certain people think about that
this is not supposed to be a depressing
video after that experiment
was made it was used as evidence
in the supreme court that segregation
and racism are bad and soon after
the us supreme court ruled that you
cannot
segregate students at schools based on
their race
and you cannot make people of a certain
race
feel inferior as for me it took me
decades of hard work
but now i know i am equal to the white
race
and billions of other people are
starting to think that
too slowly but surely society
is changing and in the future kids
will answer the white doll and the black
doll
are both beautiful see you
