StereoTypes - Racial Profiling and Guns
Stop and Frisk has been defended by the NYPD, saying it is an effective way of getting illegal guns off the streets. We talk about this controversial policy and gun control in general in this week's episode of StereoTypes, shot months before the incident at Sandy Hook Elementary. The Nation is in mourning and now more than ever it's important to explore these topics in light of the recent tragedy. We want to know your thoughts on the issues raised in this episode, please comment below to keep the conversation going. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and their families.

Slavery is illegal in the US with one exception: prison. Where black and brown men and women are being arrested at extremely high rates in comparison to whites. You can't say there is no connection to that

AlchemistOfNirnroot did you even watch the video m8 or try google m8?? or is that too hard for you?? because i looked at your G+ page and actually laughed. get the fuck out of here lol
What I appreciate the most about these interviews is that you don't fish too deep for the answers that coincide with your opinion and you actually air the opposing opinions.
LOL The Clint Eastwood of Park Slope circa "Pale Rider"
The couple @8:35 look like they should be on an advert for tropicana.
OK...i'm hooked! i think i found my new addiction.
There are some great arguments in here from both sides. Oh how I love this show.
GREAT SHOW. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
How do I express my love for this show?!!
Thank You, iamOTHER.
"If we make guns illegal, only the criminals will have guns" Couldn't agree more. I think we've learned enough from the ongoing, perpetual failure that is the war on drugs. Banning something won't make the problem go away, it only makes it worse.
I always see the same certain people being interviewed--do you film more than one episode/topic each time you interview them? I always love the input of those random buff shirtless guys lol
Best channel on youtube
The last guy summed it all up really. Education.
That white chick with the odd future shirt made me lol
You guys need a follow up episode to this one
The guy with the raspy voice looks like he could be Ryan Hall's dad haha.
Too deep, you nailed it.
Yes!! I want to reenact stop & frisk with Ryan too!!
"Nope! I'm too white!" LOL at least he kept it real
POP A MOLLY IM SWEATIN, WOO!
A gun is an inanimate object. It is not capable of moving or firing on its own. When I look at the news, I don't see the headline saying, "Gun opens fire on 10 people." Guns aren't the issue here, it is the people who use them and I believe their needs to be stricter laws.
I'm an Asian American dude and I used to wear hoodies around my neighborhood but the cops would stop and frisk me because I'm not a harmless white person in a hoodie, as messed up as that sounds, its true to my experiences. I wish they could see something beyond that, but it has happened more than once for me and my friends and it just leaves you feeling degraded and of lesser value than those in better off neighborhoods.
So refreshing to see a intellectual on youtube for once.
Stop and Frisk is a constitutional police power, not a NYPD thing. It was decided on in a case called Terry v. Ohio.
I love this show Stereotypes!!!!!!!!!
I'm black, I'm 40 yrs old, and by no means am I a thug or a gangster. I've encountered the police on more than one occasion and was let go and not frisked each time because of how I carry myself. They were looking for thugs, and the found me...I'm a true disappointment to stop & frisk in their eyes.
This happened to me and my black friends when we would just walk down the street, cops would pull over to the corner and stop and frisk us for no reason whatsoever, they don't even say a word. I remember the first time I got stopped with my black friend during high school, hes a tall skinny dude with dreads and he just automatically put his hands on the hood of their car and didn't say anything, I was so confused, now I'm used to it. I'm Asian too by the way and we don't do anything illegal.
8:05 well that escalated quickly!
"You should try it. It's very erotic." Lmao. I love Ryan :)
The four black teens he talked to seem so polite and well-manered. I love watching this videos.
I fully agree. Racial geographic separation would be the best solution. It would solve MANY problems.
Where in America is this filmed?
i love these videos.
I love this show!
the audio in this episode ...was all over the place!
This was a good topic.
Do bones lie? Renowned Australian archeologist and anatomist, Raymond Dart, said that the earliest skeletal evidence of Ancient Egypt confirmed a Nordic population. The Ancient Egyptian civilization was mainly Mediterranean White, until the Nubian pharoah period of its final days. As I said, Prof. Raymond Dart said the earliest skeletal evidence indicated a Nordic population. And Arthur Kemp's books are a mixed bag, but his recent "Children of Ra" (google details) is quite good on this.
8:20 Clint Eastwood much? Great Video
Exactly. It largely boils down to the examples that are set nationally, culturally, etc. and etc. Kids are told killing is a crime, yet America, and many other countries for that matter, go around killing people. A lot of it is circumstantial, too, I think.
Thank you :)
The difference being that I actually support my conclusions with facts and figures.
Couldn't agree more.
I live in Chicago too and go to school. Thanks for not being one of those idiots in gangs and crap. Please be careful or try moving away from wherever you are.....they target people like us......people trying to better ourselves!
True, but I don't think jail is a deterrent for people these days. Going to jail seems to be seen as a badge of honor- something to be proud of.
so true!
gotta instruction your kids ... hahaha
A moment of silence for love, ignorance, fear, generosity, loss, hope, and ... those that came before us, those amongst us, and the future generations we have yet to meet. I pray that we can get it right someday. *Who fears retaliation? Only those who knowingly do wrong. This same fear drives policy/laws such as stop and frisk. *Hip hop, is problematic but not the problem. Voiced, the people will find a way. I am feeling a little Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde right now but I mean what I say.
Word!
"If we make guns illegal only the criminals will have guns" - I say, if we make TVs illegal only the criminals will have TVs. - I'm happy I don't have to care about things like that in Germany.
THANKYOU.
The last guy is the truth. Keep your kids off the street and get them an education
Good insightful video about the harsh realities of black and brown people in our country. With that said, what boroughs is he filing in when he asks them these questions? Harlem? Brooklyn?
Because of where I go to school, an upper-class predominately white school, I have a fair amount of rich friends. I go over to their houses often and we hang out we usually walk around the neighborhood. So many of his neighbors stare at me because I'm black. I know that they do. I feel like it's their way of telling me "You don't belong here." without saying anything.
Omg when dude said something about kids raising kids... I was like THANK YOU someone said it finally. But i really want them to come down south (or go all over the us) and get some diff. perspectives, i think that would be really interesting.
that bald guy looks like him a little bit loool
Want gun control to be stricter? Make a bullet $100. 6 shots equals $600 I'm gonna think twice..
I never want this show to end. Love the white dude at 2:32 who seems like he's empathetic and gives a shit, even with the sling backpack. Lol.
5:05 my heart dropped
"How do we help the people instead of pushing them away?"
How about we put a limit to how much ammunition and what type of gun a person can buy in the states. It's kind of crazy that a suburbanite or any one for that matter can buy enough guns and ammunition to take out a small community.
That's the single funniest comment I've read all year
You can buy a semi auto rifle or handgun at a gun show with no background check. You don't consider that a problem?
When someone bust into your house to murder and rob you, and you call the police maybe you won't be dead when they get there in 15 minutes.
I'm moving to New York in March. If this is the attitude of the residents there I'm going to be a miserable bastard.
That is not completely true. I have purchased 3 guns from gun shows and I have paper work and background checks performed on me on all 3. In fact when i purchased the first 2 guns from the gun show i had to wait 5 days before i could pick them up because i did not have a concealed weapon permit. You still have to do a FBI background check and file paper work at a gun show. People say that you can get a gun from a gun show without any background check because there are sometimes private sellers.
Close your eyes at 6:18, dude sounds like Guru.
How so?
I loved this! The stop and frisk is a racial thing. You can't tell me any different. I get pulled over almost every night coming from work because I'm black on a white neighborhood in Alabama. The US has not changed as far as race politics goes!
Lol second to last dude at the end was funny. Personally I'm kind of conflicted. On one side I think everyone should be able to possess anything they want. On another side......I don't wanna get shot.
Wow those 4 young black guys stories of being stopped and frisked is too real
What does a 15 year old know?....that's the realist shit ever.
Blaming music instead of pushing people to take responsibility for their actions, genius!
3:08 END OF DISCUSSION.
@ 2:36 I agree with him
In fact, Haiti's a good example of the law of entropy. A fundamental law of Nature which applies to the historical process. t tells us that if we have a highly developed civilization in one part of the world and a jungle society in another part of the world, and we place those two societies in contact and let the inhabitants of the jungle society take a hand in the running of things, the civilization which used to be highly developed will soon take on the characteristics of the jungle society.
This so true, because my dad was going to a party in a "white town" if you will. Police stop him asking him, what is he doing in this neighborhood this late? Oh it is rare to find people of colored here. Isn't that crazy?
our prison system juvenile and adult system is a social experiment to a certain degree, i agree that some people need to be locked away and delt with in another way , but at the same time , for those you plan on sending back to the streets in 2 to 4 years , dont torture them and hurt them and make them aggressive and ignorant and then release them to the streets to see how they will adapt and over come , thats a experiment, and the reason also why most that offend and get incarcerated will re offend
No Stereotypes this week?
True, but Hip hop/Rap it plays a big role in our youth today. The 1st biggest problem is parents and the 2nd is the environment these kids grow up in
Agree
I LOVE THIS SHOW
lol you sure about that? I'm Asian American and they stop and frisk me all the time here, plus we're known as the murder capital which I am not proud of. It's still pretty bad here, maybe not for you in particular, but my friends and I still go through this issue.
Who do we have to blame about stereotypes but ourselves? We hate being stereotyped by our race and color yet we have a bunch of people living out those stereotypes that makes us look bad. We gotta fix ourselves so we get others to stop looking at us in a bad way. regardless of color or race.
ok i think im starting to understand what you mean. just because its cool doesnt mean its good, which is actually really true. and even though i disagree with your opinion on revenge, that is YOUR opinion, and i can respect it.
I agree. You know at one time Hip-Hop informed us on a global or in your neighborhood/CNN kind of way. Now its poisoning the minds
100 US gun deaths SINCE Sandy Hook 112 In Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Sweden, Denmark & Aus combined in 2011... Time for a change America
Check it . Everyone carries guns.
In my state Florida if you have a concealed weapon permit you can pick your gun up the same day but you still have to pass the FBI background check and some other paperwork. And no it isn't easy to get this permit and it is impossible if you are a felon or have a criminal record, a domestic violence charge, a restraining order or a history of mental illness. The guns that the kid had in the Connecticut shooting were obtained illegally meaning that he broke the law to get them.
Every time someone says hip hop. -.- it's not hip hop. its society, its being closed minded, it's blaming something that seems like its the obvious when its actually not (in some cases).
Those weren't his guns.
When I say mixed relationships, I mean black and white. Don't worry man, I get it all to well, as a mixed minority woman (people mainly think I'm Black or Hispanic, so I know lol), I know how awful this profiling shit is, I just wish the crazy violence among us minorities would just cease.
You are right, it's hard to break stereotypes when so many people are enforcing them with the way they act. One thing I'd like to note is in the context of racial profiling, stereotyping is mainly done against Minorities. White people aren't perfect, and they do a fair share of messed up and crazy stuff, but what negative stereotypes are ever held against them that would ever effect the perceptions of them or possibly hinder their opportunities in the workforce?
Amen
If at any time you believe this to be the case then you have the right to not sell me the gun. But this type of sell is not common. Most sell are done through a licensed gun dealer who performs the background check and files the proper paper work.
sometimes i just want to cry.why cant we stop such non important things like racism.so disheartening.i never meet anyone and my first thought is "they are different from me"i just choose to see the beauty in everyone and i hope that one day people will soften their hearts and see other people that way.
bravo to the last guys comment. education in the answer.
rap is one of the most popular genres in this country. It is listened to by millions. From upper middle class kids to kids in the hood. To think that music is the problem with our society and to believe that it is actually a contributing factor to problems in particular ares is incredibly stupid. Not all rap is even violent. I never or rarely hear rap that advocates for violence.
listen to all people that think violence comes from rap there was gangsters gun fire and all that befor rap music even existed
Relying on people is what got us where we are now. People fail; God does not.
What "various forms of murder" might you be referring to? Colonialism?
