Why Do We Have No Compassion?
Thanks to Munzareen for showing me the link to this site and reminding me to post about this. It’s a new series on ABC called, “What Would You Do?” The show does a great job showing situations and how people react. There was one where there was a group of (white male) teens who were vandalizing a car in a public park parking lot. It was shocking to see how people didn’t really do anything, one women was joking with them, many walked by doing nothing, there was only one call to 911 and only one man who stood up to them. In fact there were 2 other 911 calls made but it wasn’t because of the kids vandalizing, rather it was because people saw a couple of black kids sleeping in a car! And when the situation was switched around, a group of black kids vandalizing a car, well I’m sure you can imagine the shockingly sad results. (You can watch the video of that on the site, juss scroll down a little.)
The video below provoked me so much and also made me sad as well, watch it for yourself and see what I mean:
Munzareen juss showed me the second part to this video:
Take care inshaAllah.
