I think this is the worst part. If you read through the YouTube comments, there is a tangible sense of rage toward "porch pirates", and you know people watching these videos will integrate the footage of the "thieves" into their own personal stereotype of who these thieves tend to be.
- weberc2 8y agoWhat race should the sort-of-fake-thieves have been? What is the "right race" to artificially associate with theft? :)
- ggggtez 8y agoOnce you acknowledge they were actors, you have to ask: Why was this person chosen to play that role? Why have your next door neighbor do it? You know the guy is tracking the GPS. Was it because your neighbor was black and you thought it would be more convincing than your white friend across town?
- Karunamon 8y agoGood relationship with said neighbor? Trying to tie race baiting into this is an extremely bad look (and not to mention a really disgusting accusation) without further concrete evidence.
- ggggtez 8y agoOk, I look forward to when his friends come forward and say they selected the actors at random from their Christmas Card list.
