175,000 Starbucks employees were shown this film about racial bias when the company held a nationwide session to kick off a curriculum on the subject.
The video was made by award-winning documentary filmmaker Stanley Nelson and featured accounts from people of color on how racial biases affect their everyday life. It also included Sherrilyn Ifill who is the president and director-counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense.
“To be welcomed as a customer means that not only do I allow you in, but it means that I’m glad you’re here. I want to serve you. I want your business, and I don’t draw distinctions between you and other customers in terms of your value,” she explained. “But it’s time we talked about what it means to not be welcomed as an American citizen.”
The film aimed to highlight how differently Black people have to view and navigate public spaces than white people do. It is especially pertinent, in light of many openly racist acts that have happened in businesses recently, including in incident in Starbucks, in which two black men were arrested for asking to use the restroom without ordering.
Discrimination shouldn’t be tolerated, and it’s up to us to make sure that it becomes a stigmatized practice, rather than a regular facet of society.

"Sometimes I get followed in stores"...I used to work in customer service in a higher end market where we were required to engage with all customers and ask if they needed help with anything...one day me and my Mexican coworker who's only been here a couple years were accused of "racially profiling" a Black female customer who claimed we were "following her around the store and watching her because shes Black" when that was literally our job to provide top level customer service...My coworker was pretty confused about what happened
Huh, almost as if the blacks have evolved to have the Karen trait… weird
@@TheUnplannedLove no kidding
I was followed around by a Latina employee and when i asked her for assistance, it turned out she didn’t even speak English. Why was she following me then?
@@bbworks159 I don't know I wasn't there and I don't know her or you for that matter...Id like to think that if she could speak English she would have a rational explaination but well never know...I'm just speaking from my own personal experience...racism and discrimination do still exist and it sucks but it seems like people are almost looking for it to happen now and always assume the worst...just my two cents I don't "know" anything
@@TheUnplannedLove wdym that was one person don't accuse a whole race of some toxic trait people could be bad or good no matter what they look like.
I love the dude in dreadlocks explaining how he told his son that people are still racist, well done mate you just raised another racist.
Yep and it kills me that these folks don’t realize they are just creating a never ending cycle. They view everything through a racial lens and thus nothing will ever improve with that mindset
As opposed to his son finding out it still exists when someone like yourself won't hire him for a job he's qualified for, just because of his skin color.
@jollyrancherchick That doesn't happen. It's in your head. Poor black man didn't get the job, must be racism. How about blame your parents for not encouraging you to get educated.
Racism is so real is crazy
When you see a person judge them on their attitude and actions, physical attributes matter but they shouldn't be the reason of treating others.
@ihatescreennames89 Exactly! I love how these morons who claim not to judge people based on race are doing EXACTLY THAT by judging White people based on race by calling them all racist, LOL. Yet the irony is lost on these morons.
What? So be racist
@@MynameIsnotforsell I thought I was the only one confused
Try walking through the hood while white and see how welcoming it is 😂😂😂😂
Thing is though, you have the privilege to never have to walk in the hood.
I was raised in the hood in Baltimore city my friend for 19 years the only white family in th entire community
@@CharliRay and for 19 years you held prejudice
You should experience the eyeballs a Caucasian gets in Oakland. It is exhilarating.......
LMAO!!! Assuming a Caucasian could spend 12 hours in Oakland at night without dying.
Yes I would also like to see this. Or let’s send a young white kid into a predominately black school and film it - I wonder if that kid will experience racism? Hmm
I did not hear one solution in the video thanks
Thanx for saving my time.
They never have any practical
Solutions . It’s just to complain how racist everything is
Maybe it was meant to make us think and figure out for ourselves what the many types of solutions need to be 🤷♀️
The fact this video even had to be made is messed up. Treat others like how you would want to be treated.
The video is racist!
@@whitexchina Racism.
It didn't have to be made
Why do they show videos like this with the footage from pre 1960s when it has no context to today? This seems like it will divide not unite. Are black barista's feeling oppressed or something?
"I assume that people see a particular thing when they see the color of my skin, so everything has to be perfect and clean" Hey that's on you, you're the one making the assumption, don't then play victim because your assumptions dictate your behavior. Blame your surroundings for making you believe these terrible lies.
I'm white and I make my hands visible lol. It's called being aware
The irony is this video stinks of confirmation bias
all I see are facts of the past and the present. America has always been racist and now they are trying to improve finally.
@@stillsearching5816 This country is the most racist it has ever been in my life, white people are at the brunt of that racism now.
@Condenado yall gotta lotta of nerve white folks are very safe
@@stillsearching5816 I wish the USA being so "racist" actually STOPPED non-Whites from STREAMING into the USA by the MILLIONS each year. But NOPE. It hasn't. So I guess the USA isn't all that racist, is it? If it is, be sure to explain why non-Whites literally risk their lives to live around the "racist" White people. Go stay in your third world countries. No one's stopping you!
yall got issues
If ANYONE stands too close in my personal space it can get uncomfortable, this guy isn't special - he just has a complex.
As a white guy I can safely say that there are parts of town where I DO NOT feel safe to walk around. There are stores where I do not feel safe to go in to or shop at. What about that?
What about it? What do people who feel that way based on something so arbitrary as skin complexion or whatever their ethnic background is, do with the: 'I do not feel safe/comfortable' mantra with EVERY other multifaceted aspect of life or even with a simple traffic stop by law enforcement? Get over yourself. Good-for-you, as a 'white guy' post desegregation.
@@kayladukes219 Thanks for making my entire point. Everyone needs to get over themselves. My fear of certain places is not because of skin color, it is because of high drug and crime areas. This is based in rational thought, which is why I avoid those areas. Some fears people have are irrational though, would you agree? Is it possible that some people might have irrational fears due to biased reporting and fear mongering by ideologically possessed persons?
There are places in our country where you could be killed for your skin color if you're white.
@@joshotey2967 Your fear comes from your racist heart telling you that certain areas where certain people live is filled with bad things. And yes, your fears are irrational based on bad reporting and your favorite republicans.
The most racially diverse group of people, in America, are racists. Indeed, racists are the only people group, in America, to achieve perfect racial diversity. That's as amazing as it is ironic. Is the goal to become as racially diverse as racists are racially diverse?
are these people are real people or actors? I feel sorry for them for being stupidly woke.
They are actors I assume and very neurotic
We got that yesterday. The comments were, "black this, black guy that" Seems like the film made us more racist.
G I wonder why.. do you think it's because black people have been burning down 7% of the country for the last 30 years..?

It's great that his clip is shown twice, it is the experience of very many good people and it hammers home the point.
If you’re not comfortable with yourself and who you are, you will feel like others are uncomfortable with you.

Hurr durr blacks are oppressed because every arm of the establishment says so constantly
This is like your 5th comment I’ve seen . You’re way too invested 😂 typical sour cream citizen
Brilliant piece, each person in it, and brilliant film director Nelson.
Saw this over a year ago.
As I see it today, Mitch McConnell said : Black people vote "in just as high a percentage as Americans".

@4:44 I felt that in my soul. He wasn't lying. When you're a black man in this society, you have to be aware of all those things at all times. It's... discouraging.
It's on a case by case basis. If Jalil White dressed like Erkle gets on the bus, he wouldn't have to worry about those things. If a white dude that looked like Ivan Drago got on the bus perhaps he would. ANY race has to do this when they walk into a korean grocery store. They follow everyone around and don't even hide the fact they think you're going to steal something.
@@bryonmiller6311 I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you aren't black because that's not the way it works at all.
@@WeAreN1nja I'm always so intrigued about this "you don't wear my shoes" kind of argument. If you're black, have you ever lived as a white man to say things would be different?
@@NefosG Someone asked me that once before. Have I ever lived as a white man? No. That's something that a lot of people like you (no offense, and I'm assuming that you're white) don't realize. I don't need to. People of color don't need to... We are born into a white society. The man that delivered me when my mom gave birth was white. The nurse he handed me to was white. The nurses that tended to me were white. The characters on TV were white. When I entered the public school system, my teachers were white. My principals were white. The curriculum was written by white people. The retelling of history was from the perspective of white people. My professors were white. A good number of my friends were/are white... No, I've never walked in your shoes, but I've been completely submerged in your culture and your experiences (generally speaking) my entire life.
@@WeAreN1nja So you DON'T know. Why do you think it's any different? You've been brainwash to believe you're oppressed.
Believe it, life is not any easier to people that has a different skin color than yours. You may want to believe that to justify your failures in life, but it's NOT the case.
If anything, since this BLM marxist movement started, blacks are PRIVILEGED, having more opportunities due to racial quotas promoted by this PC culture.
Black people should be mad at other black people that make them look bad. This "racial bias" doesn't come from nothing.
Seriously
@@MynameIsnotforsell How many times have some other racial member commit mass shooting yet they are seen as angels. Is not about what any racial member does, it is called HATRED!!!!

Imagine having to go back OVER HALF a century ago to get footage that shows physical racism 2:20
I can't tell if you're being purposely obtuse, or...
Imagine thinking that 50-60 yrs is a long time when the people who were being persecuted for being black then are still alive today.
The answer is simple: change your mindset. if they push you out or harrass you, go some where else. If they insult you, ignore them, If they hurt you, report them.
racism wouldnt exist if the answer was that simple.

Thank you for this excellent video. Short and powerful.
Helpful to hear. Changes need to be made now.
i am being forced to watch this for my new job xd
One thing I dislike about the far right is that they act like it NEVER happens. I’m all about keeping things in perspective and paying attention to statistics too but to pretend like it’s not an issue worth talking about just because it may or may not happen very often isn’t right. It’s like discounting people’s experience and that ain’t right. The problem I see on the far left and the far right often is extreme denial.
Really.
Seriously. the "far left" trying to bring awareness really
The far left thinks stats on crime is racist now lol
As a dark skinned brown American, I’ve never felt as if I was a threat in this way, but more so just my energy and my essence. I am very bubbly and smiling person. I attract people who are the same 98 percent of the time. I do get more nose turns from white women and Hispanic women more than anything. The hair tossing and rushing in front of me. It’s even worse when my husbands with me unfortunately. He’s white as well. It’s as if they’re trying to intimidate me or stare at my husband for attention. He’s unaware but doesn’t seem bothered. He always shows affection, and shows me love in public. It just boils there blood. Anyway, it’s a feeling as if you’re a burden, I feel it sometimes. But I’m not changing for anyone.
So sad the troubles of the black people. When will blacks ever be equal?
Starbucks do some weird stuff tobthere regular customer who stay there for all day
These people need help. They all have emotional problems of insecurity and inferiority.
Do these people live in HillBill Alabama or something? Low self esteem make people see things weird.
When I was a teen I was followed, too. Always. Especially stores like Walmart and Piggly Wiggly. And I'm as white as the day is long. I made a game of it to try to ditch them. Anxiety? Naaaa.

@@malazelnaiem388: I'm not sure how one modifying one's behavior to cater to a perceived racial bias qualifies as actual racial bias. I suggest you watch any video by Marcellus Wiley. Or Larry Elder. Or Morgan Freeman. Or Allen West. Or Dr. Ben Carson. Or Candace Owens. Or....the list goes on and on and on and on and on. If "systemic racism" were real, EVERYBODY in the black community would acknowledge it. Instead, the strongest (dare I say "smartest") members of the black community vehemently denounce it. They see BLM for what it is.
--
Any discomfort felt by white people is NOT a fear of black people. It's a fear of being called racist for not treating black people "special" or handling them with kid gloves. Obama created this culture and until the black community wakes up and denounces BLM and Antifa, it's NEVER going to get better. Ever.
--
George Soros just gave $220M to BLM. Do you seriously believe that his agenda is to help the black community? Wanna bet money that that money goes straight to the democratic party and/or Joe Biden's campaign fund??? Neither of which are a friend of the black community.

Again, I suggest you watch any video by Marcellus Wiley. Or Larry Elder. Or Morgan Freeman. Or Allen West. Or Candace Owens. Or Dr. Ben Carson. Or....
What they're saying is being aware of how people perceive them means they have to be conscious of the fact that everything they do, how they act and behave in public, could be preceived as a threat by racists or people that hold unconscious biases. As a black woman, I can tell you this is very true. I suggest you read 'White fragility' 'why I no longer talk to white people about race' 'so you want to talk about race' and the list goes on.. It's hard hearing a white person's take on race when they've never experienced it. I hope you can try to understand
@@drummerdonniedotcom Unfortunately it will never get better no matter who does what. I agree with you completely about everything - it's just that people are so clannish, so I don't see a world where things get better.
@@malazelnaiem388 As a non-racist it's maddening being called racist because I don't elevate a given race over my race, which is the definition of racism. I made a list of intelligent black leaders you should respect and listen to. If you don't respect them or listen to them, and can't articulate WHY you don't listen to them, you should self reflect on that.
--
I get that you don't want to hear about racism from some white guy, and ergo dismiss our opinions. I totally get that. What I will NEVER understand is why the black community DISMISSES the combined race experiences of black LEADERS who vehemently disagree with the racist narrative. These black leaders are OLDER, WISER and SMARTER than ANY BLM advocate I have ever had the displeasure of hearing yell the same sentence over and over again.

“So I assume that people think a particular thing when they see the color of my skin”
This is exactly the problem though! It is almost a neurotic focus on race and that everyone is judging you on your skin color. I’m black and I don’t think every single person I come across judges me differently due to my skin color. If I did think this it would create the problem I’m wishing to erase
That's a problem you are wishing.

In regards to the lady at 3:50, it is her fault that she feels that she has to do those things. If she would stop assuming that people think the worst of her based off of how she thinks they see her, she'd be fine. It is her fault that she has to do those things.

This all comes from the U.S. which seems to have monopolies the name of the continent in which it is situated. There are actually 22 other countries in a North America- but they have real names. Anyway, I am white and English, I would never visit the U.S.A.because I know I wouldn’t last five minutes, I don’t like U.S.people, for one thing, and I get very cross when they claim to speak English- Australia is much the same- they too have rules which protect all people from racial or cultural slums. With one exception- they are allowed to call me nam, make jokes at my expense, but best of all, is when I was told I spoke with an English accent. Anyway I didn’t stay very long and anyway they strike me as being part of the U.S. by extension. I could also talk about the native Australians, who blame the English for all their woes, even though it was largely settled by Irish, Scottish, Germans and others who wanted to join in the big land grab as did the early settlers of the U.S. ask why Amerindians, why they fought with the English and not the settlers who didn’t like paying tax, given that they had come from Scottish, German and Irish, Dutch etc.
