An Exercise in Prejudice

July 14, 1992

The studio audience from a show back in 1992 thought they were attending a regular taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Instead, they were part of a very revealing exercise in racism.

We called it the "Blue-Eyed vs. Brown-Eyed Experiment."
The purpose: to demonstrate how easy it is to learn prejudice.
Guest Jane Elliott started this exercise in her third grade classroom in 1968 after the assassination of Martin Luther King.
Jane tells the audience that brown-eyed people are more intelligent than people with blue eyes - and they start to believe her!

He refuted a recent report that the skulls are "modern fakes," and said academic scientists lack an understanding of crystals. Two of the skulls (Max & Sha-Na-Ra) are definitively ancient, carved by hand instead of contemporary tools, he noted.

We are not dealing with distinct and separate food, fuel and water 'crises' but with a global process of economic and social restructuring.

The dramatic price hikes of these three essential commodities is not haphazard. All three variables, including the prices of basic food staples, water for production and consumption and fuel are the object of a process of deliberate and simultaneous market manipulation.
