Elevator

In the video the different people come in playing their music, white people, mixed, and then an African American man comes in and they all immediately turn off their music. I think the author's purpose was to maybe show us how people really were stereotyping an African American man. He came in with a speaker and but he put his headphones in, I felt that everyone in that elevator thought he was going to blast music. I think the audience is pointed at the people who still look at African Americans and continue to still stereotype them. Because the point the director is trying to make is that look they assumed this and he did the complete opposite. I think the first way is to drop the stereotypes you see how they became comfortable after he put his headphones in and showed manners, it should always be like that. The next way is to come together as a community if everybd=ody doesn't come together like shown in the video you get that everybody playing their own music. Lastly, monkey sees monkey do, everyone who stepped in was playing music because the other people were, we stop stereotyping African Americans as a community everybody will follow with your exception of those really bad idiots. LIke shown at the end of the video when the elevator started playing music those are the idiots some communities have that no matter what they will not change their ways.
