What Would You Do?

ABC News conducted two experiments in which they tested Americans' open-mindedness and tolerance levels. In the following video, we see what happens when a gay couple displays affection at a sports bar.



In this video, we see what happens when a black women is harassed by a sales clerk at an upscale Manhattan store.



It was hard for me to watch these videos, as it hits close to home. One would have to be a fool to think that discrimination no longer exists in this country, regardless of the strides we have made in the last couple of decades. If I would have been a spectator in either scenario, I would have definitely said/done something in their defense. That type of behavior should not be tolerated by anybody and it's so sad that we still have to deal with shit like this at this day and age. Damn shame.
