BLACK GUY MISTAKEN FOR A WAITER |  

Have you ever been mistaken for someone else?

"I don’t trust anyone who’s nice to me but rude to the waiter. Because they would treat me the same way if I were in that position." - Muhammad Ali

My brother was a helicopter pilot for (25) years. At every interview and every first day on a job, white men assumed he was either a mechanic, fuel jockey or janitor. To their surprise and dismay when they learned he was a well experienced, military trained pilot, some had nerve to question my brother’s credentials. We were blessed to grow up with a parent who prepared us to not only EXPECT such attitudes but also how to REACT with dignity.

As a speech pathologist who happens to be black, I experience this daily. My assistant, an awesome lady, who happens to be white is often mistaken for the SLP and I, the assistant. It is so weird to witness the inate biases...I honestly, feel really bad for people who think like this. They miss out on so many brilliant people because of their delusional race based superiority idealogy, that has no basis in fact.

The waiter looked very relieved when he could go back to what he did best. It is nice that he allowed the waiter to leave without yelling at him.

An a black man with over 20 years of leadership experience in HR, this happens more often then people realize. I’ve personally been asked to either attend or not attend a meeting because of my race and the client’s preference.

I went to pick up my last check from a hotel I worked at...I was wearing a dress shirt unbuttoned,black jeans, and dress shoe and shades. A white man kept looking around and he got in my path, asking if I was his cab driver. I side stepped and kept going. I headed back to my car, task done. He called out " Why didn't you say anything ? " I continued to ignore him and left. Sometimes you don't owe any explanation at all. Silence can be powerful.

From the very beginning of the video, I was getting a feeling that the boss was even more evil than the investor. Had Frank been a genuine person, he would have clarified it to the investor that the one he thinks to be a waiter is actually a genius IT guy but it turned out that the boss was more interested in greasing the palm of the seemingly racist investor. However, it was good to see justice being served at the end 📻

As a white man who was raied by black foster father, ,I couldn't contain my tears as I got to the end of this short film, For no just reason, tears dropped from eyes when i remembered that a black family raised me and died .I so much love the 4 guys that acted in this film ,I have been against racism my whole life and seeing this makes me so so happy, The story creators got me .please more of this In a big sreen like feature length We like the twists It taies a good brain to creat and act this, Love you all from Germany

We accept diversity in plants, minerals and animals. In cars, fashion, houses etc. Yet we can not accept diversity in human beings too. What insanity.🤯

I love the trap the investor set to test his character and integrity. Although this had a good ending, the opening scene reminds me of something that happened to me. My son attended a prestigious private school and graduated high school this year. A post-graduation luncheon was held at a nearby country club. I consider myself a relatively unassuming brown skinned middle-aged man of African American and Asian heritage, and dressed accordingly for the occasion in a nice suit. Walking through the dining area I was stopped by a woman who was seated at a table I was passing, and she asked me if I could bring more drinks to her table full of guests. Her husband glared at her coldly, squeezed her arm and said “No.” She started to say something to him and he shook his head and repeated “No!” He obviously recognized me as a parent of a graduate (my son being the only brown-skinned kid in his graduating class) and tried to squash the situation before I had an opportunity to let her know that I was not a member of the club’s wait staff. I simply smiled and walked away. A similar incident occurred when I was working in Washington DC. I was standing outside a hotel in the valet area when a guy approached me and ask me if I was going to load his bags in the shuttle.

The way the waiter said 'Its a C and two crosses' so stupidly and confidently 😂😂😅

The response the waiter gave as the programming language being C and two crosses had me 😂😂😂😂😂

Don't let anyone take away who you are.

There is no room for racism in the world, treat diversity respectively.

My concern is Phil, that he has such a low value of himself to be manipulated that way...now even in the future his new boss will know he's easy to control. This is a tale of self worth to me.

As a bagger in a grocery store in Louisiana. My manager would move me to different registers with certain customers who didn’t want blacks touching their groceries. This was 2014.

Thank you for this honest vide, it brought me to tears. As a career driven black woman I go through this often with a lot of micro aggressions. Thank you for expanding the awareness; most people don’t know what they do. The manager character in the video was unaware he was a racist; as he was going with the flow of the investor. Ironically a lot of managers do not have a backbone to speak up and have a voice of their own. They play it safe for their benefit.

Now, this is what you call, reverse psychology! The investor literally pulled out, the true feeling and intentions of that man. You can never make a deal with a racist, good skit! 🤙

As a software architect, never been mistaken for someone else but the shock and awe I get when people realize I might be smarter than them.

It's a brilliant plot. Who'd expect the investor is the nice guy after all. Well done dramatizeme

I was in the medical field for over 17 years. I was in charge of the MS center in Southern California. Every time my doctor had talks or we had to travel to present people (white folks) would see me and right away since I’m Mexican I could see how they would talk to me or give me orders. As soon as my doctor would tell him I was in charge of the office I can see how they would treat me differently. Sad world.

Wow!!! They truly had me fooled and getting me upset for the way Phil was getting treated but I was blown by who the racist really was 😳😳😳

"I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell." -Harry S. Truman

Some people are just like that boss . That was one of hell of plot . Very brilliant work guys. ❤

This video touched me with tears. I wish we can respect each other and work together as a team to build America for what it really is. There's no color for the gifted and talented 💪🏾💯

Damm....that C cross cross scene made me burst into laughter

This video was very hard to watch because it strikes close to home. It brings back memories right after graduating from college as an undergraduate, I am walking down the street and these people were all clustered around a Toyota Camery. One of them see me and yells out, "there is a Jap. Those guys knows how to fix the car." Another one yells, "yeah, the slant eyes know how to fix these cars, it is in their blood." So, I walk over and tell them to try to turn the engine over. So there is a woman in the drivers seat and she tries to crank the engine and it sounded like it was flooded with gas. I told them that they needed to hold the butterfly open and get air into the engine. They said more racial slurs and they wanted me to get my hands dirty and do it for them. So I opened up the carburetor and I find there is no butterfly. So, I started disassembling the carburetor and after removing all these parts, I realized it was a fuel injection system. At that point, I handed the screw driver to the nearest racist and told him they would have to call a tow truck, because it was a fuel injection carburetor. As I looked back, they were still scratching their heads trying to figure out what to do next. After all the racial slurs, I did not feel bad in the least.

If he was a waiter he still shouldn't be spoken to like that.

I just hate people who treat others like this.

That was quite the plot twist. I didn’t see the twist coming, I’m usually keen on it. Good job

He had me fooled ! He was testing him the whole time

Many years ago, my family attended the Danny Thomas celebrity dinner in Beverly Hills. Muhammad Ali mistakenly thought my brother was the waiter. So my brother just laughed it off and said ” Hey, man, this was the best suit I could afford. They had a good laugh.

What an amazing plot twist! To think that the investor was the racist when Frank was the actual one. Really appreciate your content DramatizeMe.

This episode brings such an unexpected plot twist. Geniusly scripted! Great performance of all actors! Bravo. And does anyone else think that Gary has Phill- Collin in this episode?

This was both hilarious and well written. Good work Garry and crew❤

Diversity is the beauty in the world. In all things !!! Can you imagine having only one kind of flower or one kind of ice cream or one genre of movie or music ? Thank you dramatize me Gary & the team the twist in this video was awesome guys 💜 from US

Wow! That was a turn I didnt see coming. I am so happy that someone had Phil's back🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍

Don't assume someone working as a waiter, just because they're wearing something that is not in work uniform.

With these videos, you people are actually educating the society which is calm to behave worst

If I was the brother, I'll walk !

I wouldn't even sign with that investor either. That was too easy for him to 'act' like that.

The sad and funny thing is the boss was trying his hardest to seal the deal, we actually don't even know if he was gonna split his share of the money/keep Phill employed.

Well done, all! I liked the second twist at the end...another nice script!

That ending caught me completely off guard.

What a powerful story. Happens all the time

As a world that is changing, and as a black man, I would tell both of them to get lost.

Awesome video once again. It feels like I watched a whole movie. You guys are amazing !! ❤❤❤

I can only dream that my boss actually gives credit to me for conceptualising our project instead of claiming everything is his vision, whilst I thought this video was twee. It may just have motivated me to hand in my notice.

Except the boss was literally using a strategy so both would not be broke? And he could easily arrange another contract with Phil to split his own 50% into halves. If anyone was slimy and dishonest, it was the investor who knew he had the power to leave them broke when doing that ‘test’.

It is wonderful to see people who try to get over on others trip themselves up, especially racists. Although it is true, that we do not glory in the destruction of such people, there’s a satisfaction felt.

Im black, mistaken for a criminal everywhere i go. Thanks for making life easy✌️

Perfect example of why you should treat people with respect. That would be crazy if you found out that this was his boss or CEO of the company he works for have some respect for yourself that makes it easy to have some respect for others

This is a fantastic story. I guess the twist was that someone acted this way for a long time for money.

Nice! 3 twists in 1 story! Kudos!!

Hilarious part when the waiter was asked questions 😂🤣.Second video of DramatizeMe that made me laugh. The first video was with Serj and the fake food critic ordering Bimbimbap lol. Racism has no place in a civilized society. Thank you DramatizeMe.

Actor Frank ...he deserves to be an movie actor.His body language is amazing.

This happens even amongst blacks... I've been in a company where I was treated differently cuz I wasn't from same tribe as them... So you see... It's not just about being a black or not .. We all have been treated differently cuz of one thing or the other... It could be because of tribe, religion, belief, class, etc... The whole world needs to be sensitized on this issue... Ones ability or capability has nothing to do with all of these...

I have no clue how people could even get the audacity to be rude and blatantly disrespectful with the people that handle their food 😭

Lmao I’m in IT and I find the “C two crosses” funny

Great storyline. What the boss did to Phil what is inexcusable

The way this sent me through all of the emotions!!! 😅😅😅

I once wrote a letter to the CEO of the company i was working for..He taught was somenoe in management ..But i was a humble bottom of the ladder employee.. It told me that he taught no one was intellegent enough at the lower level to have written it..I felt mixed emotions bad and proud..

Always test people and don't ever tell them your secrets till they became the ones!! As long a friend tells you the reason they can't do than they passed the test!!!

I think Phil should continue looking for investors who are both reputable and (humane) respectful. I don't trust either one of them.

“Hip hop and basketball rules” was actually funny 😂😂

I really love this Black Guy.He is looking so handsome and gentle

What a turn, at the end.. I was so upset through our this video.. didn't know, the one man was testing the other.

What they need to stop doing is portraying Black men like they can't stand up for themselves. The mere fact that he actually went along with posing as a waiter and didn't tell his "partner" to go kick rocks when he proposed the White waiter to pose as him is insulting.

That was a nice twist. Brought my anxiety down and everything. 🥴🙂

The twist it was amazing

Respect. This video is an excellent dramatization of reality. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, Mr. Garry, thank you for all of your amazing videos! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Another take away is people assuming someone or something is racist. The assumptions often times are a reflection of that person’s own racism. Like someone telling me I can’t do this or that because I’m black & certain individuals don’t like me.

Holy smokes, now that's a twist. Thinkin the boss is the good guy, when the real good guy is just acting the bad guy. Nice one!

That was lovely Gary and team may you all have a lovely evening enjoy

This is why I love working from home in IT 😂

That plot twist at the end caught me off guard! Nice story!

I remember when I was 16 the mall security thought I was a robber because I matched there description of black teens with a hoodie who robbed a store said I couldn't have my hoodie on...while others walked past with them on back in in 2015... The manager purposely sent his security to question while I was just watching my sister on the bench minding my own business... Its real out here folks.

Randomly popped up on me but I loved this short film I appreciate the accents and the whole script…. Maybe I’ll even subscribe!! Thank you

“When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.” -Dale Carnegie

Forgive the guilty people but don't trust them and don't be too polite being a boss

Blacks are still behind and still look for whites hit me hard 😢😢😢😢you played with my feelings 😢😢

Let’s be real. He’s investing $1 million dollars, of course he was going to do some extensive research. He wasn’t going to just give out that amount of money for fun. I love the plot twist.

That is a problem with some people their stereotypes are so serious that they live in their own dream world!😂😂

Loved the twist in the end!! 👏

Very satisfying twist to the end!! Why racist want to remain on the losing end of life I’ll never understand!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤❤❤

Wow this was really great!

Integrity always wins

*Thankfully, there are still many who see all people as individuals and as a part of the one precious human race.*

They got me here. I thought the bad guy was the investor and not the boss. It seemed that the investor was the racist one so good one here.

The twisted ending... Great work, DramatizeMe, your episodes shall be an inspiration to everyone 🤘

Whoa honestly, no one saw that coming, but glad how it ended.

This was really good! Ty!

That was a twist i didnt expect.

Oh wow. What a flip ! Here we thought the other guy was racist and it was that guy all along

That was really cool. Im glad I watched the whole thing! 🙌

I really like the actor very much who is playing the role of Collin🥰🥰 plzzzzzzzzz keep him in all videos 💕💕

I’m so glad I am subscribed to you guys channel because you never disappoint us. Keep them coming. Much love 💙💙🔥🔥

This is an epic video. ❤
