I noticed. Any bets on vlog titles?janem wrote:Interesting that all their "friends" have already put up their vlogs but nothing yet from the lumps. Too much partying and it's hard work to edit the uber video to show what little angels the boys were.

I agree with all of this! I don't necessarily think they actually thought "this man is black and therefore he is bad." But they probably had some subconscious fears based on their personal beliefs, the way the media portrays people of color, and just the overall systemic racism in our society. I don't believe they are personally racist, but they probably don't understand the concept of white privilege and believe that because they aren't racist, they have nothing to worry about. It doesn't affect them on a personal level, so they don't care. Sorry for the rant but I'm currently getting my degree in Social Work and this topic is so important to me!springsahm wrote:Am I correct that the nice nulls are interracial? So only the wife is black? So that's just one person and their kids. Having one or two black friends and interacting with minorities who are serving you as waiters or construction workers doesn't mean you're not prejudiced. I honestly think we are all a bit prejudiced, but DB live in a little bubble, especially since they got rich. I can't imagine that they are particularly accustomed to having a person of color not kissing their butts and challenging them on any issue, particularly their parenting. We already know they can't handle the least bit of criticism and think their children are special snowflakes.

Here's this young white millennial couple dripping with hipster entitlement probably talking into their camera like jackasses being picked up from Disneyland and being dropped off at a literal mansion. To top it off they have these two young kids that are being rowdy and they are maybe doing nothing to control them. I am not surprised if he got annoyed, told them off, and they reacted hostilely, so the whole thing got out of control. Again, no evidence race was part of it and sorry to be THAT person who brings it up, but from my position, with the evidence we currently have, it seems entirely plausible that even a subconscious recognition of difference served to heighten hostility on one or both sides.

I'm 99.9% sure Jeff edits and uploads now. Someone other than Bryan does it. Could just mean that it's uploading right now.chipmunks wrote:

That's exactly what I was trying to say. You said it better. I absolutely don't think they're actually racist. I just think that they don't think about it because it doesn't affect them.madi_b_123 wrote:I agree with all of this!

Huh I never realized skin color makes someone scarier!Cgl33 wrote:I still think that's a form of racism, even if they don't realize that's why they are scared of him. Would they be scared if it was some white guy hipster in his 20s? I doubt it.
I'm guessing they won't put the footage in the vlog either. They won't want people to question them.
It only makes then scarier to some people.... I'm sure there is some technical word for that type of racism.webbygurl626 wrote:Huh I never realized skin color makes someone scarier!Cgl33 wrote:I still think that's a form of racism, even if they don't realize that's why they are scared of him.

Maybe not to you, but don't dismiss the very sad reality out there that people of color are considered far more intimidating by some than their whiter counterparts. That's just how it is.webbygurl626 wrote:Huh I never realized skin color makes someone scarier!Cgl33 wrote:I still think that's a form of racism, even if they don't realize that's why they are scared of him.

Funny how everyone else is also at the same meet up and managed to get their vlogs up early. So to use that excuse really isn't justified.cat9480 wrote:They are taking over forever with the vlog today! I really want to see what they say about the Uber drama, if anything.

They were absolutely not scared! Especially Missy and Cassie, instead of walking away they stayed there and kept filming, hell, even flipping a bird!Cgl33 wrote:I still think that's a form of racism, even if they don't realize that's why they are scared of him.
