Mob mentality.

Once somebody steps up, everybody does.

edit: And to answer your question, probably a bit of both.

Same problem Obama is having. People are racist and they don't even realize it.

I like how the experiment doesn't show black people walking by and their reactions to a white or black person cutting the chain. My guess is it would pan out the same way.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

And they both admitted that they would likely have called the cops if it has been a black kid. That's the whole point they're arguing, that racism is endemic in all of our societal views. There's another video where some white kids are blatantly vandalizing a car. When the cops finally get called, it's for another car that has some black sleeping in it...
