The main intent of this video is not to highlight racial differences. Race was only used as a metaphor.
Race is a good metaphor though and here's why. African Americans still lag behind the national average in Income level and Poverty measure. This is according to the United States Census Bureau.
$36,544
The annual median income of black households in 2015, compared with the nation at $55,775.
25.4%
The percentage of the black population below the poverty level in 2015, while nationally it was 14.7 percent.

3:18 Little children, let us not love in word nor in tongue but in deed and truthfulness.

I love that the kids in the back still ran and they gave it there all even though they knew that the people in the front had a head start

This project should be done at every High School across America.

This is still one of the best examples of the impact of privilege on YouTube. It makes an impact in such a simple way and shows how systemic inequality manifests. I have shared this with I donât know how many people since I first saw it.

for some reason the people laughing in the front really ticked me off, it just felt like they werenât taking it seriously and didnât care about what it meant.

Seen this so many times and I can see the pain in their eyes as he spoke some of those words about the hardships they endured. Mad respect to them for surviving in a world that they shouldn't even have to.

I watch this from time to time, to remind me to be humble. Sometimes we can be so upset over our own problems, we fail to realize how small our problems can be compared to others. I cry every time I see this video. I am blessed to a bit closer to the middle than the back.

Notice how some of the people who were in the front jogged so that people in the back could pass them, then there is Kyle sprinting at the front so he can buy monster.

I legit had tears in my eyes schools don't understand what students are going through at home they expect us to have everything we need... but some people just can't get it because we have to worry when our next meal will be or not paying for college (getting a scholarship) It's just so sad how others have no advantages and this experiment shows how everyone can be human but just because we are all human doesn't mean we don't have different backstories.

I couldn't take even 1 step. But look at us now. My husband grew up even more poor then me. We are buying our dream house on 2.5 acres and we just bought the newest car we've ever had by 13 years! DON'T EVER STOP TRYING! WANT IT MORE THAN ANYTHING AND KEEP WORKING FOR IT! GOD IS GOOD! BLESS YOU ALL IN YOUR STRUGGLES. I PROMISE IT GETS EASIER!

Coming from someone that would have taken no steps in this- it can be as impactful to us watching this and seeing just how far you have come through your own work and your own choices. This stuff gets normalized in families and communities to the point that I was ridiculed for pursuing a college education, even threatened a couple of times over it. Sometimes seeing that others really did have so many advantages is exactly what someone needs to validate their experience and put it into perspective. I didn't learn this fully until I left my home.

I wouldn't have taken any steps either. But you know what? Im glad I grew up poor and even homless due to my parents drug addiction when I was 12. And because of EVERYTHING I've went through, I cherish everything and I am thankful for whatever is given to me,and thats because of my past I had Nothing. Now..I'm 19, with a job I love. An apartment with my gf who I've been with for 5 years as well as a car. I couldn't be more thankful.

I am 42 years old. I started in the back. My parents divorced before I was one. My mom worked nights when I was very young. I use to find places to stay so I was not alone or hungry. Only later to have my mom disown me and move in my early teens to live with a dad I did not know. I was determined to be more than what people said I was. Know I am married 16 years and 3 kids that never have to struggle for nothing. A successful job and just trying to pay it forward everyday not forgetting where I came from. God was always watching out for me. Thank you for the video!! Absolutely đŻ
