Angry Eye Assignment 
Description: Prior to this assignment we watched a video in class called Angry Eye that showed a 
classroom setting. The students in the video were exposed to an exercise in which only the white 
Females were targeted in being interrogated. The point of the study was to show these white 
females how black people are treated every day simply for the color of their skin. It was 
discovered that the girls became very upset, and one even left the room after being interrogated 
by the teacher. The interesting part about the exercise was that it proved that while these students 
could run away from the abuse, these people that experience it in the world can be nothing about 
it on a day-to-day basis. After watching the video we were asked to reflect on the video and the 
experiment itself. 
Reflection: 
Ashley Jarrell 
Video 
Due: 9/29/2014 
Youtube Video Analysis 
In my opinion the video was quite difficult to watch due to the harsh material presented. 
As I watched the teacher make her students feel inferior and get upset it really made me think 
about the point she was trying to get across to the class. Through the presentation I learned how 
much abuse African Americans experience even to this day. Due to the fact that I have never 
been one to really pay attention to the color of skin, or at least I don’t believe that I have, I hadn’t 
really entertained the thought that was analyzed. It was interesting to me that these people are
still being abused, specifically verbally, and I hadn’t even realized it all of this time. I think that 
if I had been one of the white students in the room, such as the first girl to be tormented and have 
a breakdown, I would have expressed an identical reaction. While the exercise was aimed to 
make the Caucasian students aware of the way others are treated on a day to day basis, I felt that 
presenting in so sternly wasn’t the way to go. I believe this is why the first two girls got upset; 
they didn’t like being talked to in that manner and missed the point of the exercise. Furthermore, 
I felt that the last woman to speak about the activity offered a very solid point. She was trying to 
make it clear that just because some of the students were African American didn’t mean that 
their abuse was naturally more severe than other struggles people have to face in society. 
Overall, I felt that the presentation was effective in its purpose, but could have been 
demonstrated in a more positive light.
