A shocking new video illustrates how race and color continue to play a major role in how someone is perceived in American society.
The video, shot in Los Angeles, compares the general public’s reaction to first a white male, then a black male, attempting to break into a car
He recently took to the streets of L.A. along with his friend Quentin Brunson and filmed the predictable - yet depressing - results.


First Roberts, who is white, attempts to break into the car with a wire hanger. Despite the car’s alarm blaring, no one pays him any attention and at one point the police even drive past without stopping to confront him.
