A second experiment I've heard from some people is the bowl of poisoned candy. There are ninety pieces of regular candy in the bowl, along with ten pieces filled with poison that look indistinguishable from the regular pieces. Would they eat a handful of them? Or how many do they think they can eat before they hit one of the poisonous ones?

Muhammed Ali once said: "
There are many white people who mean right and in their hearts wanna do right,” he said. “If 10,000 snakes were coming down that aisle now, and I had a door that I could shut, and in that 10,000, 1,000 meant right, 1,000 rattlesnakes didn’t want to bite me, I knew they were good… Should I let all these rattlesnakes come down, hoping that that thousand get together and form a shield? Or should I just close the door and stay safe?"
