So, the "fave" list grows... "Lost", "American Idol", "the Biggest Loser" and now... "Primetime: What Would You Do?" on ABC.
It is a limited series addressing some really sticky and controversial situations- testing the reactions of America at large. For instance, anything from a public argument where a woman is being assaulted to a man sitting and openly crying in a park. Most people walk right by without wanting to be involved or made uncomfortable. In some cases, the actors were really believable and i found myself wondering what i would do. really.
There were some silly scenarios like a waitress hitting on a girl's date/husband right in front of her. the reactions were really funny. But then there's the seemingly painful ones or the reactions that remind me we're much more racist than we all thought. There was a shocking difference between how many people intervened to break up a fight between a white couple and that of a black couple. makes me sad. and totally intrigued by the experiment.
What do you think you'd do if you came upon a public fight between a couple?

Call it racist if you want but I would not break up a black couple in an argument. (I wouldn't break up a white white couple either) Not because of anything racial and not because I'm scared of the man, it's the woman I would be the most scared of. Don't mess with a black woman when she's angry. Call the police or whatever you have to do. But do not get in between them.
what's up with the racist comments, mr. madden? not cool. "not because of anything racial"....two sentences later..."don't mess with a black woman when she's angry." yikes!
let me guess. you cried when Huckabee conceded, too, right?
p.s. go Obama!!
