This video is normally called "Peter at the Park'. it is a black women acting out a more "ghetto" attitude and is talking about how she is going to meet this guy she is clearly obsessed with at the park and is trying to get him back. She makes many references that are black stereotypes using certain slang and mentioning how she dies her hair with kool aid . She even talks about how she needs to be less ghetto to get him back and talks about her lips and then talks about taking yoga or pilates because "it will make her sounds more white". She also purposefully mispronounces words. she even talks about her hair and her weave. This video constructs race because of the factors and that a black women is acting out the general stereotypes to create overemphasis on the subject. So in sum, it is a black women acting as a black stereotype through the eyes of other races.
