The brown eye experiment video resonated with the author because they want to end racism like Jane Elliot. It showed how upset the blue-eyed participants became when treated poorly based on eye color, mirroring real racism. The author's mother disapproved of them being friends with people of color in middle school, but the author now makes their own decisions and will teach anti-racism to confront such prejudices.

1. I enjoyed the brown eye experiment because racism is a huge topic in today's society and it hits
home in more ways than one. The video was touching to me because along with Jane Elliot, I also want
to end racism. It was not surprising to me how upset the blue eyed females were when Jane started
talking down to them and making them experience things that they never had before. I wish everyone
in America was forced to go through this experiment. In middle school, my mother and I had a falling
out because I was becoming friends with a few colored people. She was upset that I would be looked at
differently by white people because I associated myself with them. As I grew up, I took it upon myself
to make my own decisions. I eventually had to confront her and make it known that I will not be
following her in her footsteps. My children and anyone else I come in contact with will know how I
feel and I will do anything in my power to help open the eyes of the racist. This video made many good
point and I will carry it with me for many years to come.
